On my soapbox again...Goaltending doesn't happen in a vacuum. Reimer didn't win games earlier this year because our defensive play was atrocious. Since then we added a better defender in Bernard Docker and lost a defensive liability in Dylan Cozens. Bringing Reimer back is not the worst thing. Everyone wants elite goaltending but teams don't just hand out elite goalies. If they trade one, it's because they don't believe in them or think they have better.

I think you must be getting a drink or in the bathroom when B-D is erasing players. You gloss over his physical play when it's exactly what the Sabres needed more of.

I can see the logic of Östlund with Malenstyn and Lafferty. Two physical players to stand up for the young rookie. And frankly, Östlund is doing well with them. No goals yet but he's acclimating to the NHL game. He shows great anticipation and puts the same effort into defense. The Sabres know he's a scorer. They just want to see how he handles this level.

And Bernard Docker. For a throw-in he's been a revelation at defense. He's smart and physical. Just what or backline needed. As for Norris, let him heal and see what we have next year.

Because the hockey press pays no attention to the Sabres.

Except it's different every time. Different players, different coaches, different circumstances. To act like things "just happen because" is silly. (And before you say "same owner" you need to explain how that impacts the play of the team.)

Congratulations to everyone who dreamt of this day. Your hard work, determination and commitment to negativity finally paid off.

5 game win streaks make me blue.

On TV. For the poor shmucks listening to WGR it was a disaster.

3-1 Habs. Oh well.

Yeah

Break up the Sabres!!

Imagine listening to this on radio. You'd have no idea what was going on.

I'm hoping for sanity to return, somewhat.

I think Bernard Docker is lifting the defensive play significantly.

I thought he didn't know he whiffed.

Shortie

Wow, talk about a lack of awareness.

It should be 4-0 Buffalo

Some smart play by Östlund, in both ends.

I would light a candle in church if someone did that. 😄

A major one, sure. A Dahlin or Thompson. Even when they were skating they weren't 100%.

How many of them will be injured? Maybe the "welcome back Taylor Hall" video can show him cashing his $8MM check and then demanding a trade?

For a $1.4B stadium that now costs $2.2B and he's responsible for all overruns. I remember that part, too. The state's stake went from 61% to 38% and falling. COVID-19 might have had an impact.
