Lehner hasn't allowed more than 2 goals in regulation since 12/1.

But I forgot "he sucks". It had nothing to do with the fact that Tennyson and Falk were relied upon for big minutes, read: any more than 0 for Tennyson and 14 for Falk.

Nice win by the Sabres tonight. Played a solid game for the most part.

Regarding Kane - love him but trade him. Gorges, Lehner, Pouliot - all gone. Probably Rhino as well. We need to reload.

Of course he will, everyone does. I'm just saying that the "he's barely a backup" was a stupid thing to say considering we had 2 NHL top 4 defensemen playing the first 20 games, 3 when Scandella finally got his feet under him and well below replacement level guys filling out the rest of the spots.

And the fact that they've only won 3 of those 8 games is pathetic. If your goalie allows 2 or less goals in regulation you should have a better record than 3-3-2.

it's not your fault you were picked second overall

it's not your fault draisaitl SHOULD have been our pick

but damn you stink

I am not talking stank seafood burp stink, you really stink

you're a f@cking skunk

you have been fortunate to be up a line and play the wing with eichel or ror, and you stink.

you have been blessed with nice passes and a wide open net, and you f@cking stink.

I am not upset that larkin and pastrnak are better than you.
I am not upset that ehlers is better than you

I am upset that you f@cking stink

you have spent a game on the bench with no ice time, not phased
you have been dropped to the 4th line, not phased


you have no f@cking excuses.
this is the NHL
work hard, skate hard and play out every shift.

just because your older brother sucks, doesn't give you the right to half a$$ your entry level contract.

if it's too hard to give effort, and justify us tanking for a year, TO GET YOU, then just retire, or ask for a trade

you have been given every opportunity to put up 50 points a season, and you fail

why, because your a f@cking skunk and you stink


time to put the big boy pants and act like an NHL player instead of a drunken teenager


get your head out of your a$$ or move on and we can have matt ellis come out of retirement and take your shift


you stinky, smelly, nasty a$$ skunk

Should have saved this post for 12/31 ... would have been a classic to close out the year.

Before Jack scored the last 2 goals, I mentioned to my son that he played one of the best games I have seen him play over the past 3 years. His effort was supreme, and noticeable different than most of this season.
My hat is off to you young man! Keep that effort up, it was a joy to watch.

Bogo looked charged up last night as well. Joined in the rush several times, had some nice play on the blue line.
Must have received a fresh batch.

No, no you have it all wrong.
Jesus CHRIST!

It’s all the fourt liners fault we suck, that and Johnson....you know guys who play like 10 minutes a game and get paid $600k.
As soon as Botts fixes the 4th line, then, and only then will they be good.

In all seriousness, how anyone can’t see that the entire line-up is vastly underperforming is beyond me. Up until 2 games ago, even Jack was producing at a rate of a 2nd line center. The only one who was producing at par for their position was Kane.

The argument of Top 6 versus Bottom 6 as being responsible is answered fully and completely by one word.
YES.

He’s seemed under control lately.

But I’ve noticed once again this year our coach is compensating for a bad defense and bad goaltending (to start the year) by taking minimal chances, and playing a boring style.

Sure :
Lehner has played excellent as of late

Reminder :
Lehner did not play great or even good for the early part of the season. Soft goals ect.

Just because he is playing well now does not change how he played earlier this season.

Would be great to see him in a shoot out now with some confidence.

I think he's playing his way to a trade deadline move. Ulmark appears to be the future. Jbotts likes him alot.

Yeah, we have some nice bottom 6 forwards playing in the top 6 (pominville, Pouliot, maybe okposo) and a whole gotta garbage in the bottom 6
