Thorner Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 Team officially passed last year's point total in 23 fewer games. Don't look now but we've passed last years total and we're 9-6-3 in the 2nd half of this season Eichel's got 41 points. Reinhart is leading our team in goals, ROR is on pace to be our highest scorer in years, Kane is an impact player, Ristolainen is one of the league's most promising young D, and Lehner is insane. Lots of work still to do, but things are looking good. And we are coming together as a team. Good win. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 Man, I like Larsson's game. Plenty of room on the Larsson bandwagon. Business class accommodations still available! Quote
Doohicksie Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 I love every game he starts because it almost feels like we have a caged animal in net that will go berserk at any moment and tear through the opposing team in a flurry of claws and teeth. His spirit animal isn't just a bear, it's a grizzly bear. Quote

clintwestwood Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 I missed the whole game. I want to see Lehner drop the gloves. Anyone know of a website that will post highlights or a place to watch a replay online? I don't have cable. Quote
Ogre Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 I know since the trade I've been thinking "What if Lehner wasn't worth a first?". But man, what if he IS worth a first. The guy has been more than solid since getting here. If he wasn't worth it then you pulled the trigger and missed. That's life right? If you win then, feck, eh? You look like a genius. Gmtm doesn't need to be genius. He just needs to make mostly good moves. We are on the right track. Yep. Quote
Taro T Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 His spirit animal isn't just a bear, it's a grizzly bear. He's a cross between a grizzly & a polar bear. He's got the size of the polar bear & the temperament of the grizzly. Pretty sure that's a good thing. ;) Keep working him and have him back to 100% & in game shape for October. Quote
Tondas Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) In case nobody noticed: The Sabres have gelled. You know, that's a great point. I think GMTM has a much better idea on how to build a team with chemistry than Darcy ever did. A team has to be greater than the sum of its parts, and I think we're finally getting there. Plus, our goalie is crazy. Finally, a quality goalie that reflects our community! Edited February 20, 2016 by Tondas Quote
Claude Balls Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 I hope Stamkos was able to watch the game tonight. He would be goofy not to want to become a Sabre. This team is going places. Quote
Brawndo Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 This is outstanding!!! https://twitter.com/The_Blue_N_Gold/status/700876190408699905 Quote
K-9 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 Lehner should play without a mask. GO SABRES!!! Quote
Taro T Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 On McGinn's 2nd goal, so glad Eichel threw the puck to Girgensons on the near side. Goalie was expecting the wrap around. Do that a couple more times then they'll have to play him honestly, the wrap around will be even more effective. Quote
Doohicksie Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 Lehner should play without a mask. GO SABRES!!! The puck would be afraid to hit him in the face. Instead it would deflect itself and carom harmlessly into the corner. Quote

hockeyhound Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 I thought I would be saying this at this point in the season but, I'm actually looking forward to seeing Sunday's Pens game. I'm glad to see this team pull together. Let's Go Buffalo! Quote
Stoner Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 Hell of a shift by Gionta there. Good to see Eichel's clavical pass its first real test. I told ya, McDavid is the only one with brittle bones. And may they continue to be kindling! Reinhart is just mad with the setup skilz. I call them Sixth Sends. They're calling him Sam Bennett (twice) on the CBJ broadcast. Hilariously as the final seconds ticked off and (clearly) the Sabres fans in the joint whooped it up, pbp douchebag said the Jackets fans were standing and saluting their team. They were standing, I'm sure. Getting up and starting to leave. So funny. I really think Dunleavy will come into his own once RJ retires. I told ya. RJ will never retire. I believe I called that one. Look at Johnson backing down from Lehner. What a loser He disappeared into the crowd like he was a terrorist on the streets of Karachi on Homeland. <shoot that sentence Ok,I am legitimately falling in love with the Norwegian Nightmare! Tonight, I dub him Lennie. What? This guy? Looks pretty calm to me. They better check his thyroid. Wait, what am I saying?! Leave that gland alone!!! That was an entertaining game. I would say this is probably the game you can point to and say Lehner definitively became our number one. Rough analogy: the night Kelley decided to christen Hasek the Dominator? Quote

Ogre Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 Damn, a goaltender with a personity and character. How long before the league and coaches try to neuter him? Oh c'mon, Negative JJ, think positive thoughts...sunshine is bright, puppies are cute, goalies are tough and refs are all mutes...Lehner could be our new John Scott.. after all.. Quote
thewookie1 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 The puck would be afraid to hit him in the face. Instead it would deflect itself and carom harmlessly into the corner. If it did, he'd bite the puck in half, chew, and then shoot the bits back at the shooter. Quote
StuckinFL Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 His spirit animal isn't just a bear, it's a grizzly bear. With an overactive adrenal gland and a chip in it's brain that makes it feel like it's constantly being stung by a horde of wasps. In other words, pure hate and rage... Quote
Doohicksie Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 Look at Johnson backing down from Lehner. What a loser Quote

Tondas Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 I like Lehner. The last goalie we had with that attitude was Tom Barrasso. He turned out all right. Quote
