okposo returned weakened after that concussion meds incident. if he cant return to his former wrecking ball playmaker self then he probably loses the A by default Pomminstein could be a nice steadying force as an A as his career winds down bogo if hes ready to play steadily

if jack aint the C blow it all up cuz that would be disasterous

fwiw, ill tell you the story about why im banned on tbd. of course its relevant here, too. idk why im not banned here too, but whatever those of you that know me know im an independent centrist. thats not a 'finger in the wind' centrist, its a 'wisdom resides in the middle' centrist, somewhat buddha-ish philosophy. you also know i am a very long time civil rights activist, even married a crazy black woman - who wasnt crazy at first then went total classic insane black woman crazy on me. so theres that anyway, there i am in the main tbd board posting along with the conversations involving kaepercz9xnick and the protests, and im articulating how i think blackness is making mistakes that also contribute to the inability of the races to come together over the nfl protests note that in this conversation there are plenty of places where whiteness is criticized/blamed. i am simply pointing out where my black brothers and sister are ALSO legitimately making mistakes and contributing to the problem all of a sudden i start seeing my posts not be mine anymore because they have changed! im not making this up, the mods were literally editing my posts to remove my valid constructive criticisms of blackness amidst the sea of criticisms of whiteness (!!!) let me repeat that: the mods though it was ok to selectively edit out my contribution to the discussion by going into my posts and deleting what they didnt like - with no record of them doing that whatsoever what could possibly go wrong?!!?!? obviously i was furious i posted a thread saying that if you are going to just edit me for no good reason and with no trail to show you did it, then just ban me the rest is history this is a popular place so they can afford to act that way. doesnt make it right. doesnt make the problem of mind hives and groupthing and millemmingals and constant warring over stupid ѕhit go away at least they saved the world by banning a guy telling the truth about the negatives within a blackness he adores. nice job, fellas i expect i wont be poster here much longer either, so bye fellas. fight against the machine

that is a fantastic article. tyvm

i agree the shootout points are crucial to a middling team like the sabres you know its perfectly legal to switch goalies for the shootout. it would piss any starting goalie off to get replaced after you got the team to the shootout but perhaps housley has the balls to let ochocinco take all shootout trys i sincerely doubt it. but with a .500-ish career shootout save pcentage on a team trying to squeak into the playoffs it might be time to think outside of the crease

i gotta say, great answers from you guys on this question. nice freakin job

guys a bonafide jerk but hell of a hockey player. i hope they can keep him, but if not at least trade him for some good value assets

honestly i have no idea about this 'dangerous shot' save %. is there someplace that compiles that stat? when i watch regular season games i dont sit there and keep my eyes glued to the tv, i usually just sit here at my computer desk and surf the net or play a game and then watch critical moments (pp, sh), replays, or whenever it sounds like rick jeanerette is working up to something so i didnt notice the dangerous shot issue myself. if that really is the case then yeah i would be very hesitant to commit to him, too

i completely forgot about the shootout percentages. i do recall he was a brutal oh-for-everything last year, but that could just be a statistical anomaly. so i went and looked up his career shootout save percentage and its barely over .500. so yes indeed he does have a problem with shootout performance good point it goes without saying he needs to have a good season not only for the sabres to make the playoffs but for him to stick around here

it seemed like all spring and summer they were trying to find reasons not to keep robin lehner. naturally the gm/coaching change delayed any resolution. but it was pretty obvious the general consensus was that his status was up in the air for reasons other than the management change and his free agency then when they finally got everything in place all they did was sign lehner to a one-year deal worth 4M, placing him approximately 24th in the league in total salary i dont get it wasnt the sabres defense one of the leagues worst last season? even so, lehners save% was .920, good for 8th in the league among starters. he faced not only a lot of shots, he also faced a lot of prime scoring position shots, so that high of a save % is pretty remarkable. the eye test told me that most nights he was one of their best players on the ice so why is everyone (including management) so lukewarm on the guy? at 26 hes still pretty young for a goalie, so to step in and perform that well on a bad defensive team should be viewed as an impressive feat. i know he had that big injury problem in 15 and only played 20-ish games, but he bounced back fine and played 59 last season so why didnt they try to lock him up for at least 2-3 years? whats the deal with the 1-year sort of trial deal?

on opposite day it would be max

well i figured tim was safe but apparently terry didnt think he was good enough i wonder who he has in mind for each job id love to see ruff back in bflo. but who would the gm be?

oh wait, you guys were NOT talking about the actual firing well whatever. seems big enough news for its own thread

oh so this is why nobody posted a thread. sorry

just reported on local cable news, no link yet
