  1. Was mentioning last game they tend to be front runners
  2. Reminded me of when Kane had an open net here in winnipeg and he deferred to Reinhart to get the hat trick
  3. It’s just a shame the team has to sacrifice so much of their free-wheeling offence when he’s in net. They really, really have to baby him back there since he’s not an NHL caliber goalie
  4. Duff cackling about Reinhart’s EN pass We saw a lot of career year anomalies last year
  5. Dude rules
  6. Florida played yesterday, right? Maybe they’ll slow down in the third
  7. Maybe they should let Terry have a try at the book, honestly
  8. Very understandable? Totally disagree Some were screaming against the viability of a run it back approach after multiple career years. Hindsight need not apply: the off-season looked bad at the time. And worse now.
  9. This is a meaningful stat “this regime isn’t amendable to past failures” need not apply He is saying it in defence of the Sabres
  10. Certainly jives with the feeling the priority hasn’t been winning. Damn.
  11. Exactly. Fool me once..shame on..shame on..you? Point is, can’t get fooled again with the goalie approach
  12. Ya I mean assigning fault is subjective He bridged Reinhart, that’s all I said
  13. It’s just difficult with Reino because he went on record saying he was open to a long term extension I don’t think he’s a 7 mil player yet. No, I don’t mind the contract there. For reasons opposite to why I dislike MS’s.
  14. We’ve had 2 GMs that bridged Reinhart
  15. Can’t see KA not sending EJ to a cup/playoff contender at deadline
  16. We just beat the Kings 7-0 We tend to be front runners in individual games
  17. I’m not sure what his point is in including Levi, but it looks good on UPL
  18. Every single goalie that moved hands this year was better than Comrie. Every one. Those are your names another: UPL. Adams only had enough “gosh golly gee” confidence in UPL to force him to split starts equally with drastically inferior goalies to start the year. I’m honestly not sure what you are missing here how many ways do you need to be wrong. Seriously, how many concrete ways can you fail to grasp the fact the results were bad? actually, my mistake, you’ve already argued they were good, and backed down from it, and retreated to “well ok I was wrong the results were bad but they couldn’t have been better” yes, there was no way. The goaltending was handled perfectly. You wouldn’t even take my out that we could agree goaltending was managed fine if the priority was development rather than winning lol
  19. “Don’t like the guy the paid professional with all the accompanying resources got? I’d like to see you do better!” ”taking a shot at VO’s 2 way ability? I’d like to see YOU do better!” A truly meaningless argument
  20. Not to mention, the addition by subtraction of merely NOT rostering and playing Comrie this year would have netted us points why isn’t anyone trying to give KA kudos for sticking with Comrie? U gotta look at the totality, here. It’s the only fair way. Ie: the results
  21. Huge gap between what we got from Comrie and Levi to other backups available you are setting the bar too low. You are claiming Adams couldn’t have acquired anything better than non-NHLers. Is your claim there were no NHL worthy goalies available? In either of the last few years?
  22. Is the bit called “being AI”?
  23. I agree. But I’d just add that adding that back up goalie, should it prove necessary (which we need to be sure of before the season starts) is another priority we have room for. I think the things you mentioned, *and* solidifying the net are all important. In today’s NHL almost everyone has two guys that play a lot. The 40% UPL won’t play is a HUGE chunk. Doesn’t become non-prioritizeable because the 60% is addressed
  24. The transition to having expectations is a pathway to many realizations some Sabres fans would consider to be….unnatural How confident are you Levi is ready to be a day one, playoff worthy backup goalie to the tune of 30-35 games next season? Actually asking
