They're coming in too hot!

It's unsustainable against Dell's deflectors and the Sabres shooters.

I think you're underestimating just how bad Montreal & Arizona are. I expect Seattle and the Senators to somewhat put it together and overtake us at some point.

Goalie updates: 

Crisis in the crease: #Sabres turn to Dell and Houser with UPL (week to week - lower body)and Subban (month to month - upper body - Maroon killing him in crease) out. Hard to believe they’re at this point. Season isn’t even half over. 

Granato:  “You have to pay attention, be a little bit more detailed defensively to support." Uh huh.

Oh, I think Montreal, Ottawa, and Arizona all can catch them while Houser and Dell are in net.
