Doohickie

Not quite. It had been a decade since I'd followed the NHL; we were both WIngs fans at that point in time. I missed the entire 1980s of Sabres and didn't really pick up on them until I bandwagoned on the '99 Cup Finals team.

In the case of Craig Anderson, I'm thinking whateverthehell he wants.

I believe he is a goalie consultant for the Sabres. It wouldn't surprise me if he was in Rochester.

I think the whole Levi thing is that they told him if he signed he would get a shot in the NHL right off the bat. If you recall, he was finishing his junior year and if he went back for his senior year he would have been able to sign as a free agent after graduating. In order to keep him in the fold, they wanted to make sure he signed. When he came up last season he was 5-2 and looked pretty good. Coming into this season I think the brain trust felt it was worth a shot, and in the spirit of what they told Levi, to keep him on the NHL roster out of camp. When his numbers this season didn't look great and the rest of the goalie saga played out (injuries, etc.), they sent him down to get work. It was not certain, going into this season, what his performance would be, after his strong audition last season... and they wanted to make sure they kept him in the organization.

Benson is clearly not NHL ready.

Ukko Pekka Luukkonen may not lose another game this year. Realistically, they need to go 2-0-1 over the next 4 to keep things going.

If they end the season on an 18 game winning streak, I think they're in.

It's not Okposo.

UPL is starting to make it "having a walrus in goal" easy.

It's like having TWO Josh Allens on your team. How can anyone stop THAT?

The team is working hard, playing good defense, and the scoring is waking up. They beat a run-and-gun team last time, they beat a grind-out-out team tonight. With UPL in goal they wan win any given game. With UPL in goal they can win every game.

It doesn't matter. It's Kevyn's responsibility. It's his duty. It's part of his job description, not Donny's.

Do we know this? Or did Adams just tell DG, "here are your 3 candidates -- do as you like?" Even if Adams abdicated his decision to Donny, it was still his responsibility and his call to make.

1 more than the 9th place team. If you assume that the team in 8th place now represents the pace, that would be 91 points. If the Sabres get 92 I think they will get in. To get 92, the Sabres would need to get 77% of the position points available to them between now and the end of the season.... so 10-2-3?

I just want the Sabres to finish ahead of the Red Wings so I tell my wife that Kevynergy is beating the Yzerplan.

Kevyn gave Donny three goalies to juggle. Bad move.

I still think Tage has a problem with his wheels. It's not major but it hurts his burst.

It's an MSG thing. Bally and Root allow the pre-post games to be shone. It's probably something in the contract between the feed provider and ESPN.

When they squeak into 8th place at the end, it will make sense.

One of the finest albums ever.

I was just thinking the same thing.

Oopie stoned them, to their souls.
