lost both games last year by a combined score of 10-4

we do not match up well against them

fast and stall will suffocate the tage line

My analytics department says that balances out to 7 goals a game, the O/U tonight is 6.5.

My advisor is advising me 6.5 is lower than 7, suggesting to bet the over. After much consultation and thoughting, the over has been bet.

One bet closer to ownership.

Looks like Raanta tonight, get bodies and pucks to the Net.

Edit: This looks a lot worse than when i was typing it out.

No question they like the security of players/staff they know and aren't willing to risk expensive mistakes. Terry has been burned too many times.

Would a player like Killorn or Gudas, with the deal each signed this past offseason, potentially be considered expensive mistakes?

Of the two, it would have to be Killorn who would fall into that category with his AAV and term.

how many cup winning goalies were over 35 since dom?

Tim Thomas
and then a handful that were like 30-32

Yes, no NDT ties.

i really hoped they went after gudas

clifton and johnson are both like dollar store gudas' at this point

if i were the sabres i'd simply have the best shooting percentage and best save percentage in the nhl at the same time like vancouver

why havent they tried that
- robz228

Vancouver began the Oilers death spiral properly with those first two games.

Would've loved Demko here as a split starter with Levi, not that Vancoucer would have traded him.

They love dollar store players.

They try for real players, but it feels like they try for 5 seconds, then immediately go right to the dollar store pile.

he was a target floated around for a while. idk goalies don't make any sense. he was bad last year now look at him. same thing with gibson.

the only thing i dont like about the goalies was letting ullmark go. proven good enough. everything else with goalies is voodoo.

They've got another player they recently drafted who is having a huge impact in his rookie season.

Between the two of them, they wouldn't trade them for all of the Sabres Fab 5, and then some.

Feels like yesterday I was calling this kid a stud.

Attack the Carolina net with shots.

Goaltending is their weak link.

Raannta tonight in net?

Vancouver was horrendous last season.

Demko had too lengthy of a track record of being good to let one bad team season bother me.

It's also too easy, and foolish to just throw your hands up and say stupid poop like goalies are voodoo.

Lazy stuff.

They need to attack all night tonight.

Can't get frustrated, as that's what Carolina feasts on.

ducks get a few kids and they are good right away

we get bunches and still can't turn the corner

Carolina isn’t a “trap team” per say, so hopefully we attack for 60 minutes

Huge conference game,

2-10-4 in the last 16 at Carolina

There is no faith with the Bills or the Sabres

These guys get off on misery

One guy gets the Cup Champs the other get the Arizona's. But go off.

I really rarely come here and dont have the energy at my age to back read.

Mark my words. McDavid ends up in Boston. Big Market, East Coast, Historic franchise desperate for a 'face', TV eyeballs.

You heard it hear first. Thats gonna SUUUUUUCCKKK

OK, what does that have to do with the Sabres and how they look. Only thing that has gotten better is the PK. Just says the Sabres are getting some time to hopefully find there consistency. Still look like the same team as last year, still look to have the same holes.
