Reimer isn't a fluke. He's been an NHL vet for quite some time and was a very good goalie in Toronto. He made their defence look better than it was and that was exposed when the D collapsed against the Bruins in the playoff series that Toronto lead 3 games to 1. What he needs is consistent playing time which he's now getting in Buffalo. I wouldn't throw him away. He can be very useful, especially if UPL can't find his "last season self" by next season. I know Levi is tearing it up in the AHL but let's see what he can do up with the big club. Having said all that, Buffalo really has to work on its defensive play of get more physical D-men. The point blank opportunities that continue season after season don't help out any goaltender.
There's just something about the kid. He has hockey smarts, you can see that, but with that size, his inability to play physical or to move players in front of his goaltender, plus the mistakes he still makes, the guy just leaves me expecting more from him.
Power needs time in Rochester, I'm sorry. No way he stays up with another NHL team. Zero physicality and not using his big body to at least obstruct the opponent.
Loved Miro Satan!!! One of the best FU moments to management in Sabres history! Taking all the heat for a lousy Sabres season and all the rumours they are trying to move Miro, then he scores on a breakaway with some smooth moves and mimics the "make the phone calls" while looking up at the private boxes!!! I loved it and then was sorry to lose him!
Man this club has folded the collective tent for this season. No end of season win streaks this year! Bodes well for the 25/26 season.................NOT! Have to make serious changes within this organization or there is no way they compete for a playoff spot next season either. This group is far from getting it done.
I actually think he's just motivated by playing back in Canada in front of rabid home crowds and the fact he's playing for club who can legitimately make the playoffs (for the first time in his NHL career)
Exactly! That is why this franchise is so frustrating!!! I can take a loss if they play like this game in and game out. But then they serve up a ****burger!
