That’s why i b!tched about it last year
And the year before
And the year before that

do we beat the bolts if Vasilevskiy is in net?

do we beat the Ducks if Gibson is in net?

do we beat the Habs if Allen is in net?

do we beat the Oilers if Koskinen is in net?

thats over half our wins, and we beat the yotes, pens with 45 of 46 saves and the nucks

plan the parade we are on par with the leafs, panthers, bruins, and bolts


wait we cant hang with the red wings

- homiedclown



Who knows it'd be completely different games. I do know the 3 starters we've played we beat 2 of em'



We lost to the wings in OT like what?

But again, who cares? This isn't the roster they're going forward with. If it was, we should be worried. There are many placeholders on this roster right now.

And it's not like we're parading any starting goalies out there, either. These teams that are beating us are also beating a backup goalie, if they're an NHL goalie at all.

+1, and what i dont get from a Pegs point of view a capable goalie at least keeps games interesting which keeps buts in the seats which of course helps maintenance on his dingy

If we had a goalie last night and against the leafs we are in a playoff spot. I never said we'd be in after 82 games

The Sabres started 4-1-1

3 wins 8 losses since.

This team was designed to lose and get an early pick.

Too sell tickets and have some growth, they play an upbeat style and instruct the kid's.

Goaltending was purposely ignored for the benefit of the future. We have stole a few of the wins, with great goaltending.

You expect our young team to outshoot any opponent cause I don't that's why it'd be nice to have a real starter.

Stop clowning around

Ditch the pick I mentioned, and you are more in line with what I’m trying to sell.
I’m just trying to point out that We can be a great team if we accept what it takes to get there. It’s not ruining 4-5 more prospects over the next couple of years by trying to put the weight of the world on their backs too soon. It will cost more than money and garbage to get the right pieces in place in the next 2 years

Sorry, I started writing before I read your entire take. I just saw the pick for Dahlin and Goalofsson. I like the top pick with a center.

I really prefer bamboozling some GM into thinking Thompson is worth a damn and finding out if Dahlin can play center. I think he is a top 10 Foppa 2.0 Center. Dahlin's best attributes are between the blue lines from my layman's perspective.

you expect perfection in net to plan a parade


so unrealistic

this roster is more then a goalie away from those top 4 teams

and not as good as the wings on paper


and the habs will catch us in 2 weeks

I never said we could hang with anyone if we had a goalie. For the 12th time we'd be in a playoff spot TODAY if we had a goalie.

Going into December in a playoff spot would do wonders for this young team.

he banged the body when he had to

I would much rather have him 26 year old on our blueline bottom 4 then what we have seen in our bottom 4 in say 11 years


was he great, nope
was he steady on a winning team, yup
