GDT: Lightning @ Senators | March 20th 7:30 | SUN,SNET-E,TVA

I still believe in Lehner, think he'll be a stud, but he's been beyond pathetic for a while now. Absolutely terrible season for him. Worst goalie in the NHL this year.

Pretty crazy his save pct. can swing so much in one season... kinda like Elliot.

 

[The Waffler]

Yep, 5 losses in a row.

All "must wins".

 

[Gus Fring]

Lehner isn't ready. Andy plz come back so we dont lose 18 straight before seasons end.

What's the word on Anderson?

 

[Cheapseats]

Players have their way with Murray. He regularly gets bent over the desk.

 

[StefanW]

As much as Lehner needs some game time, if he keeps giving up 5 goals per game it is tough to justify keeping the Bingo goalies on the bench.

 

[King Karlsson]

Must be nice for the teams that can score 4 goals and win a game.

 

[Neiler]

Smith makes sense because he is good at faceoffs, that is his good side, and Spezza's bad side. Also, better than Neil from the last two goalie pulls (so at least there is that)

Am I reading this right? Spezza's bad side is faceoffs? I must be reading this wrong.

 

[Rodzilla]

Just can't wait to start fresh next year, I don't think we are THAT bad. Just didn't have any bounce our way this year to be honest and the players gave up

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

What's the word on Anderson?

I think we should just tie him to the net like Goldberg in the Mighty Ducks.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

On his off side of the ice.

Lefty vs righty

As much as Lehner needs some game time, if he keeps giving up 5 goals per game it is tough to justify keeping the Bingo goalies on the bench.

In all fairness, the season is a total bust, the team was averaging 38 shots per game the last 5. Its just a front to back collapse. D zone coverage is worst in the NHL. Teams sucks, he sucks.

 

[Super Cake]

Will we win another game this season?

 

[Senafan]

At least we got a highlight reel goal out of this.

 

[saskriders]

Not saying he is bad at faceoffs, just saying it his side that he is not as good on (which happens to be the opposite for Smith)

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

In all fairness, the season is a total bust, the team was averaging 38 shots per game the last 5. Its just a front to back collapse. D zone coverage is worst in the NHL. Teams sucks, he sucks.

At what point are you destroying his confidence though? He's obviously in a bad place, and they just keep putting him out there to get destroyed time and time again.

 

[Six Assets]

remember when Murray said we are going to try winning the cup lol

 

[Cheapseats]

Will we win another game this season?

"Probably not..."

Mama Mia

 

[misha1976]

I don't get the Lehner defenders. Yes, defensively we're a bad team. Lehner is so awesome he can only play in front of defensive powerhouse? He's been garbage. He lost us this game and contributed hardily to our loss against the Rangers.

 

[Engineer]

4 goals both last 2 games, skipping colorado, 4 goals mtl 3 nashville.

offense is putting pucks in the net... not many teams will win with 4-5 goals against a game.

 

[Holdurbreathe]

If we even had NHL average goaltending, we'd have a couple more wins during this stretch.

Monumentally disappointed in Lehner. A part of me felt that he was going to come in off Andy's injury and carry this team.

All that "big game goalie" talk was way too premature.

Lehner sat too long without playing, then when he did get a chance the team played lousy in front him.

The guy cares, got down on himself and now it is obvious watching him he has zero confidence.

 

[Cheapseats]

remember when Murray said we are going to try winning the cup lol

I had hope too...

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

remember when Murray said we are going to try winning the cup lol

Of course he said that, what's he going to say? "Well we're not good enough to win a cup, but we're good enough to tread water slowly in one direction or the other and be a fringe playoff team for the next several seasons. Have fun fans!"

come on, surely you see through the rhetoric by now.

I think Spezza has been one of our best FO men for a while now. Smith too and he had one job on the last play. With 8 secs left, I agree, not a bad move putting him at C.
