GDT: #65 – Lightning at Sabres – Sat Mar 4, 7:00PM ET – MSG-B

[Moskau]

This team lacks any sort of finesse. Even guys like Eichel, RoR and Reinhart need multiple chances before they cash one in.

 

[Sansbacon]

Has not stopped anyone this year in a shootout. ANYONE

I know. And that was a new low. I mean, how do you come back from that??

 

[sabrebuild]

Oh sorry for telling the truth about your favorite player. He's a bottom 6 talent at best. Doubt he's in Murray's plans long term he has not shown anything this year.

What truth are you telling when remarking about a soft call, to show a player can't be a support player for an excellent offensive player. Your logic is baffling.

 

[EmeraldCitySabre]

Damn, when Kucherov lost control of the puck I thought for sure Lehner had his first SO save ...............

 

[Reddawg]

this guy isn't worth more than 3M a year...

That might be the saving grace from all of this headcase stuff, if we can get him to sign cheaply for his prime years.

 

[sabresfan129103]

Has he made a save on the shootout this year?

Nope. 8 shots, 8 goals.

 

[toomuchsauce]

Well, it had been a while, so I forgot how bad Lehner is in shootouts. This was an amazing reminder.

 

[jc17]

I'm still more annoyed at these minor league refs.

 

[Aladyyn]

Lehner is atrocious at shootouts but so are our forwards

 

[Not Sure]

well at least there's no shootouts in the playoffs, whenever we get there. Lehner is a top 15 goalie in game situations, and replacement rec league level in shootouts. We need a shootout specialist goalie on the roster. Does Dom have 20-30 saves left in him? Guaranteed 52 year old Hasek is better then Lehner in 1 on 1 situations.

 

[Gordo21]

On the positive side Bylsma just needs to pick 2 shooters for overtime.

 

[Lumpjaw]

Had to change underpants after that move by Kucherov. Filthy.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

That Kucherov goal will forever sum up this season of shootout appearances for Lehner. My God...you just have to laugh to keep from crying.

"if my teammates would just play the system that Dan's put in, we'd win these shootouts"

 

[Havok89]

Someone give Lehner the heimlich. Another un-****ing real choke.

Its not like we score in the shootouts either though.

 

[ek93]

I honestly feel like I could score on Lehner in a shootout

 

[Panthaz89]

At some point you'd think sticking in Nilsson even after just sitting on the bench all game would do a much better job.

 

[Lessavyfav]

this goalie is pathetic lol

ppl just do pretty moves on him now...that was a highlight reel goal in a shootout for the win...he just made lehner look silly lol

this guy isn't worth more than 3M a year...let alone the 21st overall pick in a great draft..

Seriously? He lost in a shoot out. He gave up 1 goal over 65 minutes. He also made a few big time saves. Lehner was not the reason they lost.

 

[Ralonzo]

Know what? When Lehner starts, dressing a 3rd goalie as a shootout specialist instead of Deslauriers might not be the worst idea.

 

[Onslow]

Lehner is atrocious at shootouts but so are our forwards

This. Lehner is horrifyingly bad, but the shooters don't give him much help either.

Also, shoutout to the reffing once again

 

[sabresfan129103]

I'm still annoyed by the PP at the beginning of OT. IDK why they got away from the one timer to Jack. Set him up for the one timer on the left side. They keep trying shots from straight on and they keep getting blocked.

 

[JosephAnthony]

Just pathetic officiating. That call on Girgensons for interference?? What the f***?? I agree we've probably lost close to 6 points due to horrible officiating, no-calls

 

[Gordo21]

Put Gionta in net without goalie pads. It couldn't hurt.

 

[N.Y. Orangeman]

I'm not willing to declare this is a shootout only issue(0-1 for the record in the playoffs). He may not be a money goaltender....hope I'm wrong.

Bring Marty Biron back. He looked pretty good in the Sabres Showdown

You probably need to win half the shootouts to get into the playoffs.
