Spit out my Ice Tea!! Make sure she's pointing it right. We don't want any face shots.

The kids color with those paint dabbers that represent the bingo paint pen thingies.. well she came home with paint shmear all over her face. I asked her if she was serious and then she said "daddy, I'm going to eat you and it's going to hurt a little".

I don't know if I hate my kid.

homie, just in case you missed it!!😊😊

Which should lower his cost right.

See Taylor Hall......

I never though of the possibility of Kane ending up in Boston...until now...

Thanks for that.

I think you should change your handle to "Chad34"

you are what i was talking about earlier. This is you

Not that I want to trade for Kane but him and a decent Goalie alone probably get us to the playoffs
- Buff36

But wouldn’t get us past Tampa/Florida

Absolute joke since 36 has said we lost like 12 games when we had a 2 or more goal lead... Thats a possible 12 more wins.
- DirtyDan

Do you know how standings points work? Other teams win and lose games too.

Other teams blow leads. Other teams score goals and lose, other teams have bad goaltending nights.

The idea that everything else stays exactly the same and the Sabres move up 20 freaking points due to a goalie is so far removed from reality it’s not even funny

Id do the Kane thing.

Trade for Petry and take Shea Weber to lower the cost of Petry by a metric ton.

Sign a Goalie.
- ImThatGuy

Petry is a horrible idea as well
We don’t need a 35year old defenseman who doesn’t defend
And the 3 years left on his contract with a cap hit over $6mil is hideous
Bad, bad idea

He isn’t waiving to come here anyways

None of the Sabres wins were on the back of the other teams bad backup goalie, or bad goaltending

Only the Sabres lost games this way

It’s as simple as adding a goalie and adding 20 + standing points

- TheSabresTaco

My opinion is based on what his sister has told me
If u have better info, feel free to share

What Skinner did has nothing to do with what Kane wants to do
I could play that ridiculous game too though

~Ryan Johnson
~Devon Levi

The Rangers are the Sabres with a goaltender. Change my mind.
- TheSabresTaco

More in common with the Islanders, who were tied in scoring but got .913 goaltending. 9 points.

But wouldn’t get us past Tampa/Florida
- jdfitz77

Probably not, but it gives this young team a growth experience playing in the playoffs, they see what it takes. And then that experience and growth hopefully translates into a better following season. Or that goalie turns into Tim Thomas and goes on a run.

Here's a concept:

Sabres had better goaltending and beat teams in regulation instead of losing to them.

That's 4 points for the season right there ☝️
1 game of better goaltending

16 games we had a lead and lost. Goalie helps. # of games we lost like 5-4 cause Dell couldn't save a beach ball. Goalie helps. SHootout/OT's. Goalie helps.

I don't think 20 points is that far removed.

Thinking we would be in the same spot had we had a real goaltender instead of a combo of AHL/ECHL goalies and a 40 yr old Andy is hysterical

That may very well be. However, if Chicago becomes dead set on getting something for him this summer, and say for example, Buffalo and Arizona are a.) the only teams that can afford him, and b.) willing to meet Chicago's asking price, he has a choice to make.

But the window to do so with Kane is one year
And even if he extended, it would last too much longer

If you’re gonna spend the assets to get Kane,
why not use them on someone younger who’d be around longer?
Ex: DeBrincat, Fiala, etc

Lekkerimaki/Savoie at 9 and Nazar at 16.

One can dream.
- Pegullaville

Isaac Howard at 16 would also be excellent.

He can stay put too
And Chicago will have more offers than ARZ & BUF
The Hawks will eat salary if they’re rebuilding

- DirtyDan

This isn’t done in a vacuum

The Sabres benefited from bad goaltending on multiple occasions that they won.

So if we’re eliminating bad goaltending completely you need to take those wins out

Isaac Howard at 16 would also be excellent.
- kingcong39

Nazar Howard combo would be unreal. Bring some chemistry in off the hop

I agree, I already said I don’t want Kane. I was just adding to the convo with my opinion.

Again, if Shesterkin couldn't solve that problem for the Rangers, what divine being was going to come down from the heavens and mask all the other deficiencies this thin Sabres squad had?

Goaltending was about 20 goals below average. Offense was 26 goals below average.

Which hurt more?
