our backup is just as good, if not better than our starter.

Maybe the wrong guy got picked for the backup role this year?

not at all...even crappy teams can put it all together for a handful of games...but it is worth noting that they defeated the top two teams in the division four times this past month...

with their back up goalie

I don't hate Lehner at all. In the shootout YES, breakaways YES, but everyday games I think he is way better then Johnson.... He plays with a below average AHL defense in front of him......

I don't blame you or anyone else for bailing...especially in light of some of their performances at home which includes the last two debacles on kids day...

(nachos anyone?)

Johnson was downright awful for the first few months of the season...


his stat-line through December: 1-6-3; 3.78; .881; 0

Just goes to show you even if the opposition was playing down, we can still win against good teams.. Our record is horrible, but I still don't think this team should be a last place team....

It seems quite obvious to me actually.

buffalo is 8-6-3 overall vs. the division, 5-0-1 in their last six

pretty sure lehner's gone after this year...

imo, offer Johnson a defined role of backup/mentor for the same salary he's making this season

I hope and expect you to be right about lehner. I just dont know whats going to happen with him. I dont think anyone wants him honestly. Especially not at a price at or above his qualifying offer. It will be interesting for sure.
I would have no problem keeping johnson for that role either.

This team is frustrating.

They can’t win early, so they are out of the playoff race by November, then they win when it’s apparent that the best thing for them is to stay at the bottom.

they just won't offer him a contract...and we'll be talking about him for the next decade
