I have been waiting a very long time for the Sabres to have another goalie with a short fuse.

 

Same.  I think I like this Lehner guy.

[SwampD]

At least we kept our record streak going. Eight road games against division opponents with at least a point. That's somethin', right?

An upgrade over the last pencil-necked hot head.

Absolutely. When things come together you want that rep within the division. Good stuff.

The first half of the 3rd period was really fun. Firewagon hockey.

 

That penalty call was hilarious. What can you do?

 

Stand there like a statue, shed a single tear.

[qwksndmonster]

Bwahahahaha awesome.

[Huckleberry]

Miller sometimes had a bit of the crazy going on, but lehner will go ape sometime soon and we all want to see that happen :D

Here's an animated one...

Send this to Lehner's twitter or someone on the Sabres media people. They'd get a  kick out of this I'd bet.

[DumbPuck]

Thank you, Sizzle lol.

Go ahead and make the case that Gorges, Gionta, and Larsson getting 3-on-3 time gives us a better chance to win than Reinhart.

Having Gionta and Larsson out there is basically playing not to lose. Risto tried to do too much because those two were out there. Eichel, O'Reilly, Reinhart, Kane, Girganson, and maybe McGinn should be the only forwards getting ice in OT.

[qwksndmonster]

Larsson played another monster game anchoring the 3rd line.  He and Kane are hell to play against.

[JJFIVEOH]

That would've been a good time for Dan to pull a Patrick Roy and smash some sticks over the boards.

Lehner in 20 years after multiple Cups and becoming a coach

Keep these coming.

And if the first few weeks are what get for the next few years, Lehner is worth that first every time

[nucci]

i was"t sure if that was just my hearing or a Rayism. It was a Rayism.

It is so painful listening to him try to speak.

[kishoph]

Only one word to describe that call, "luderus".

No need to try and excuse the play away as "trying to do too much", it was what it was, which is Ristolainen's worst shift of his young career. He almost gave Marchand a breakaway seconds earlier on the same shift. He looked a bit rattled on the shift.  It had nothing to do with Gionta and Larsson, it was all Ristolainen. 

 

It was an obvious bad call, which happen. I would have liked to see Lehner make the save there which nullifies the bad call. The graphic above is cute, I would have liked to see Lehner do more than fall on his stomach on the penalty shot. Would have been great to see him pickup his young teammate up with a save after a bad shift.

We have seen this from Larsson before. His problem is consistency and sustainability. If Larsson can play a Vaclav Varada roll on this team than he brings great value. He has to put it all together, he is only 23 so he has time and the Sabres can show some patience.

Exactly.  We gave up way too much for Lehner and this just proves it once again. :-)

I laughed when he said it!

 

I, for one, will remember and use this word till it becomes an *official* word. It perfectly describes that officiating crew.

[Neo]

I wondered, last night, what penalty was called in OT. On television, the penalty shot was identified, but not the penalty, itself.

 

I went to NHL dotcom. It was a hooking call. Hooking ...

That's a tough game to play for an entire season. There is only so much a body can take, even if it is only 23 years old. Consistent to me is 4-5 games full on, then a game or 2 off, wash rinse repeat.

That is just perfect. High-sticking is the only thing he could have called it that would have been more ridiculous.
