If I was the commissioner, I'd rather let the Sabres participate to the PO (instead of the Canadiens)....Looks like the Jason Botterill parody song from earlier this season worked out great for frustrated Sabre fans today. We need someone to hurry up and write a Marc Bergevin song now.
Lack of goaltending has been the downfall of the a Sabres. Getting consistent NHL caliber goaltending on a nightly basis is not as easy as most fans make it out to be it seems..."Ryan O'Reilly really isn't much different from Plekanec!"
"Ryan Poehling alone is worth more than Ryan O'Reilly!"
"Bergevin was right not to overpay"
Never change HFBoards. Ne-Ver Change! The same story keeps playing over and over again and nobody learns a single thing.
"Hossa isn't worth giving up on Higgins"
"I would not give up both Kostitsyns for both Sedins"
"Galchenyuk is worth much more than Ryan Johansen"
... just wait till people say they wouldn't trade Kotkaniemi for Brady Tkachuk.
An NHL season is a marathon - team either needs 2-goalies who perform at the same consistent level splitting duties, or one workhorse goalie who performs consistently. Ullmark had Price numbers in 25-fewer games, and Hutton wasn’t close to his partners numbers. Therein lies the goaltending issue with Sabres that’s been haunting them since Miller left.
He seems like a whiney, sniviling type player. But who knows, maybe behind the scenes is even more of a gong show than what we see on TSN, which is bad enough.
The fans in Buffalo will applaud Eichel for actually caring about more than just his paycheck, I have a good friend that is a Sabres fan and he loves what he is seeing from JE.
The most important question : 1)-2)-3)-4)-5)Anything can happen once you reach the playoffs?5 questions for Canadiens in Stanley Cup Qualifiers.
1) Will Price steal the series despite the talent mismatch and Habs only qualifying in the worst way possible.
2) ?
3) ??
4) ???
5) ????
Saved us all some time...
