Yeah, it does. If the 5-on-5 scrum knows there's a guy back, the Sabres can pressure the dump out, knowing that there's someone back to recover the puck... it doesn't have to be a goalie.
That just makes me so sad.
Getting caught up on some of the tweets and such: Andy's been under contract as a special goalie consultant or some such. It's not unsurprising he would have a set of equipment in Buffalo. UPL is ill, so to have a second goalie for practice Andy suited up. Levi will back up Comrie tonight though.
