I don't know. The fact that he's not here in the wrong role says something positive about the new regime.

About Botterill. Not Housley.

Maybe Sabres should go after Lehner in offseason.
.931 Sv%

Hmmmm.

Sunday factoid

Ullmark has the best save % (.914) through his first 50 career games than any other goaler in Sabre history.

Interesting.
Even better than Tommy B?

I don't see this as Moneyball, with Phil defying JB.

- Over50

Yes, from what I found.

Oddly enough, his save % in his 6 seasons here were .893, .887, .880, .873, .896 and .842. In fact, he only went over .900 in 5 of his 20 seasons in the NHL.

Not saying he is either. But the proof of what I’m talking about is in the pudding with how he’s misused 37,72, and 49 already. You can also count 24 and 26 at times..

Housley has been awful with our young players so far

I see the Saint Evan effect is kicking up again. He's played some solid hockey, but that doesn't mean he should jump up to the top line on his off wing.

On a similar note, you don't call up Olofsson to play 4th line defensive minute on his off wing with Sobotka.

Well, he's no Archbishop Elie...

True.
Good point homie.

and as the pred D coach, our D overall is pretty blah at best

where is the growth in risto and mccabe?
where is the consistent play from bogo or scandella?

Your welcome my friend.

Remember before the season we all laughed at Montreal and Bergevin and how we though the Isles were going to suck without Tavares.
Now each is 1 point from having 2nd best record in the East.
Good times.
- IonSabres

Don't lump me in with this, I said Montreal would be a surprise and with Trotz, the Islanders could be dangerous.

It's such a flawed group to try to win with and manage the kids. The biggest one that bothered me was not keeping Mittelstadt with Sam in November.

I would counter at least half of that by asking how anyone is supposed to improve Bogo and Scandella from what they are, although Bogo has been healthy all year, and that is no small feat.
