The good thing is that there getting a lot of chances, they have been a little unlucky, I would be more worried if they weren't. They have played decent hockey since the first game, they can compete in this division. GO GET A GOALIE!!!

And to tack on, Sean Tierney's brand new graph tells us that Hutton is one of the worst goalies in the league, with some of the easiest work (a credit to the Sabres skaters) and worst results. As the world's been saying the entire offseason, the success of the Sabres largely rests on the goalie production.

It's still early and Ullmark's only played one game. But Hutton, surprise, ain't it.

A lot of unlucky. A lot. But you're right. Ralph is maximizing the talent on this team and masking the flaws of his defenders. The players need to execute, because the coach is doing his job.

I like it bc their Lemon Tea isn’t overly sweet like most brands out there
Usually if i get iced tea at a restaurant I’ve gotta mix it with unsweet tea just to be able to drink it

I also appreciate that it comes in glass,
as i can sometimes taste plastic when i drink out of it- & that’s just gross

What is up with Dahlin, kid looks like he's half asleep on the ice, no facial expression at all. Think him and Lazar have taken over the falling down for Girgs while he's out part. He's a big kid, stop being such a p&ssy on the ice, don't have to fight, but push back a little bit, playing scared.

I used to drink the hell out of their Trop-A-Rocka (diet awesomeness), but I can no longer have the sweetener Aspartame - doesn't go well with Meniere's disease and vertigo. I miss that drink ... SO GOOD !

Holy crap, I'm just falling apart here. Guys, a word of advice : don't ever age past 50 ... you start breaking down, big-time. Since I turned 50 : Thyroid cancer (twice), Meniere's disease, deaf in left ear, vertigo, weird leaking left eye thing going on.

So yeah, if you can do it, never age. Good luck.

He has been a major disappointment based on expectations that he would take a step forward. That hasn't materialized.
I think Smith and Krueger have tightened the reins on him to improve his D game...stay back and maintain proper gap, etc.

Why they are trying to neuter their offensively gifted players is a bit frustrating to me.

"Let em play" sounds great until you realize Hutton and Johansson are back there. Whatever is going on with Ullmark, I hope he sorts it out

They both suck (e4)
- 3rd GM's the charm


I will say that Hutton had a great game handling the puck on Monday. He's great clearing the puck on the PK. Sabres generated some opportunities but couldn't break through. It's safe to say Johansson sucks at this point. Theyre not playing badly but they need some bounces and they need Ullmark

MAF Is on fire currently.

Try to get him for cheap while he is hot.

See if Vegas will eat some celery?

Playing decent, they have played pretty good in front of him, he's only faced like 22 shots in both games.

Gave up the back breaking 2 on 1 goal that went through him.

Sucked in all of the previous games he’s played in before that.
