Usually they don’t have more than one good start in a row, so in this chicken or egg scenario… someone had to play.

Levi had a hot game in Montreal. I would have gone to him in this one. If he shit's the bed, what harm? They haven't won two in a row in f***ing forever. Maybe riding the hot hand could have done that.

 

[Ehran]

I can understand UPL starting. It's been about a week since he last played. We've got games about every other day for the next couple of weeks so they will have to plug him in at some point.

Levi's also played two in a row and perhaps they noticed that when they string three or more together, things get leaky? *shrug*

You know I am not a fan of the Bales hire nor his body of work as their goaltending coach. I don't think he brings anything to their group and I don't agree with how they handle their tenders most of the time so this is just more of that dislike for me.

absolutely agree here. more dregs in the coaching ranks.

why was Irbe ever let go? He was the one goalie coach who got his goalies to play well above their ability

Probably was up to Irbe.

6K with a .930 sv % against the Pens in two starts this season probably also played a role in the decision.

Granato is going to see some obvious regression tonight and then act like he doesn’t know what that means and screw your big city fancy numbers

Methinks you give Bales and coaching staff way too much credit.

Granato one time that some analytics are fluid and you can't always count on them (he's right) and people are acting like he said they're not real lol.

That being said, judging by his refusal to separate Samuelsson and Dahlin....

He left because they didn’t let him play when he was the EBUG.

I would have loved to have seen that, I loved Irbe in his playing days

I understand the sentiment but if the team doesn't get off the bus then it doesn't matter

Oh I know, I remember that game as a Sabres fan. I would have loved to see him on the ice for 5 minutes though. Would have been great

 

[Sabretooth]

Well I'm here in enemy territory. Go sabres!

 

[Intermission]

Here's hoping you are annoying everyone.

 

[BB79]

Pens had a big game against Boston, hopefully tonight's their let-down game

Listening to Rob Ray - he broke his jaw in juniors… wired shut for 6 weeks and he lost 28 pounds… lol. not recommending it for a weight loss program.

He’s making up for those 6 weeks of not talking

That was a tremendous segment. He was talking about the doctor trying to wrestle it back into place, only to hear it pop out again and again before realizing it was broke. Wonderful hockey analysis.
