They still could do a lot of things. I doubt they will though. Pain for Shane and whatnot

Why didn't they trade with Edmonton for Koskinen and a pick for future considerations before the season started, when Edmonton had cap issues?

$$$$$$$$

they are screaming for something that is not coming


the only way the goalies will be better, is if they learn from the 47 shots they face a night, for this season

Are you playing Breida on any of your teams? Takes cashews. Nothing worse than a dud on Thursday night. Mickey D said they were going to get him more involved. Im playing him on two of my teams. Will be awesome if he comes through.

Seems to me like ppl are fooling themselves into thinking we could be a decent team this year

That was never gonna be the case
We just don’t have the talent

Saints have an outstanding run defense
Probably a bad idea

I don't like Dell but fix your defense, go get a 1RD and let the players fall where they should be.
- Buff36

The Bruins had 2.14 expected goals tonight. We let in 5.

The defense has been average to above average for most of the year outside of some Dahlin boneheaded plays and the west coast trip.

They need to rid the dead weight of Hinostroza, Bjork, Eakin, Hayden and get some forwards who can put some sustained pressure on, and a goalie who will make some saves.

Serious question:
Did you just start watching the Sabresthis season?

Last week you had us in the playoffs...

They are built to Draft early next season.
Bad goaltending allows the young players to develop offensively, but also allows us to lose.

No offense, but you seem really confused.

- Boss34


Not confused, just watching this Season in front of me. We had an excellent start and could have built off of it during this week when 10 points are up for grabs in 7 days. Instead we keep putting Aaron Dell out there as much as possible.

Like I said earlier, we should just find the best female goalie on the planet and sign her to a reasonable contract. At least it would bring some butts to the seats and eyes to the television camera.

No, but at this point they owe it to the current kids on the team to try and put them in a position to win no matter how frivolous it may seem this year. We have a slim chance at Wright anyways. This team for the last 10 years has done nothing but strive to win a lottery.

As long as Dell is in the rink, the team will lose. He is not a confidence builder. Keep tanking, there are a lot of good draft picks this year and the team has a few first round picks.

I'll still bet you a drum stick on no double-digit losing streak this season, Boss. Happy turkey day, btw

If you’re doing Thanksgiving DFS, gotta go Breida. Great value.

Is it really gonna make much difference?

I was in the clubs, happened right in front of us.

Z- train went to the lockerroom, didn't wait for the review.

I'm concerned about a small friendly wager, if Z gets suspended.

*kidding, the other guy has 1 goal in the last 14 and no points in 5 😀

And they will rid themselves of those players when the time is right. We can't get the puck out of our own end for long stretches, we are cream puffs in front clearing the net. And we all knew what this season was, let's see where it takes us.

- jdfitz77

I'm not gonna pretend I or any of us know what current goalies to be had. I'm only saying that Adams needs to be exploring options. If there is a deal to be had then he should be seriously considering it. Who knows where we'd be in standings. It'd be safe to thing we'd have a couple more wins on the season. That's all completely hypothetical one way or another.
