GDT: #31 – Sabres at Panthers – Tue Dec 20, 7:30PM ET – MSG-B

Im curious to know Lehner's save % in the shootout.

They were just showing it on the Panthers broadcast -- something like 56% before this one.

Well below average.

Shouldn't be surprising, the guy can't move out there. His strength is squaring up big and having pretty good reflexes. Make him move down low or even fear that he has to and you've got the guy beat already.

He might be a starter -- I'll give it time -- but he'll never be a good one until he can move low in his crouch or down in the butterfly. He's just a big man who wants to go down hard.

I'm guessing 0.00% on the season.

 

[Onslow]

The panthers hit the post 4 times tonight. Can't complain about puck luck

At this point the team cannot be worse off by having Nilsson come in off the bench. Does he have to play OT or could he be stretching in the hall and then come out for the shootout?

 

[Sabre Dance]

6 shots, 6 goals.

Put a cone out there. We would have a better chance.

 

[Steddy33]

Serious question. Has anyone ever asked Bylsma if they practice the shootout?

 

[DJN21]

Remember when they were good at shootouts? Yeah, me too.

Bring back kotalik!!

They probably do, but what good is it if Lehner lets everything in anyways.

I agree that the shootout should be pretty low as far as what is done in practice, but they do need to practice it a little bit. it's absolutely killing them in the standings because they keep giving away points.

This team's ineptitude in OT and the shootout is a real issue that NEEDS to be addressed.

Every bit of this was going through my mind.

Don't you need to make a save to get a save % ?

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Luckily there are no shootouts in the playoffs.

Unfortunately, not being able to get points in the shootout is going to keep this team out of the playoffs.

 

[sabrebuild]

KO's attempt was pretty sad

He had his head down or something. I mean luongo gave up the entire left side.

 

[EmeraldCitySabre]

I've never seen anything like this before, the Sabres are atrocious in shootouts.

wshile it would be nice to be better, wow no please dont spend anything of value addressing

 

[Ralonzo]

Look over your shoulder Robin, I'm coming for your job...

 

[WeDislikeEich]

I think Bylsma has to seriously consider pulling Lehner for the shootout and going with a cold Anders Nilsson. I know it's basically unheard of, but there's literally no way Nilsson could be worse, even without any warm up.

I mean, Lehner can not make a single save in the shootout. It's becoming a running joke.

 

[TalkingProuder]

We are the worst NHL team in the skills competition. Lehher is lol

Yes, Nilsson would have to play in the OT. Unless there is an injury you can't change goalies for the shootout.

 

[Zip15]

Un****ing believable. Pull the damn goalie in OT Dan. 4 for 4 against Lehner past two games. Sabres 0-4. Insane. 3 point swing right there

I'm going to say that it is a terrible idea to pull the goalie in OT.

 

[Deevo]

I can't wait until we've moved on from this Robin Lehner experiment. Dude's not good enough.
