My hope is they remain in the hunt and Adams makes a move around game 25.

Been a lot of smoke around Arizona.

Maybe we can pry one of Kuemper/Raanta along with a forward like Dvorak or Schmaltz.

Send Miller, Hutton, and a 2021 first to get it done.

we only have 2 back to back games in the next 2 months

I could see a big surge in the standings if risto holds the line and dahlin takes that step

looks like they need to sacrifice a bottom 6 guy, sheahan? if they want to call up another kid from the taxi squad as they can't send cozens back IMO


eakin looks to be a bad contract, maybe they can expose him and someone claims him

I am, all for adding a guy for a run if they can get eakin off the roster

Shocked I tell you, shocked. One of the worst players in the league last year is a bad contract.

The third sentence in my post addressed this.

.918 (.003 above league average that year)
.913 (league average that year)

Then he had .931 in his contract year before signing with the sabres. He has been below average every single other year of his career. If you take out his great contract year his career save% is .905

Below average
- ieetbred

Below average when compared to a pool that includes starters.
Now, can you compare his results to a pool that consists of backups only...which was his role.

Goalies are weird. The issue is you get last nights Ullmark for 50% of his starts then you get the bad ullmark for the other.

IMO Arizona does Keumper no favors, they are a bad hockey team that doesn’t score.

Buffalo didn't do Ullmark many favors last night either.. he probably should have had the first one but that second goal with Dahlin slowing chasing the defender behind the net was on the D

but he sucked when we had nelson, beaulieu, hunwick, bogo in the lineup
- homiedclown

Hutton has been bad here any way you want to slice it.

.905, .915 .912 are ullmarks % in the same time frame

Ill give you the small sample size of this year out of courtesy. So if this trend continues what will the excuse be this time? None of those defensemen are here anymore and we've been told he can see again

- homiedclown

Its not different. They signed him for the same role he gathered those numbers in and has been below average at it

The bigger problem was the coverage in front of the next. We had two guys in front and they had two guys in front. Our guys lost their guys and the puck ends up in the net.

he has 2 good starts in three games this season


he is who he is and they are not getting a goalie


you guys can bash him all you want, his numbers are better then lehner this year so far

on a bottom 6 team in the nhl


crappy teams have crappy goalie stats


good teams have good goalie stats



we are now 15th in the league in gaa
16th in save %


everyone said we need average goaltending to have a chance, and those numbers are right on the average line
http://www.espn.com/nhl/s...stat/scoring/sort/savePct

saving 6 of 7 shootout shots, we are above average there


but keep b!tching

- homiedclown

Dont care about lehner. I think this team is good enough to compete in this division with two competent goalies

Maybe ullmark settles in and plays so good it makes up the difference. Was not aware about the back to back situation coming up. He should get 70% of those starts

Our goalies have had easy work, and that's a credit to Ralph's system. At this point, he's had some of the easiest work in the league, and is yielding almost average results.

Which is not good. Assuming as the work gets harder, the results get worse.

How's the little chalupa doing. Are team D has been decent until the 3rd last night, goalies have really not had to many tough periods. Ullmark hopefully keeps his head on straight, he's the driving factor in what the Sabres do.

he has 2 good starts in three games this season

- homiedclown

currently the team has to score minimum 3 goals a game to win.

Is it too much to ask for that the goalie take a game every few.

I don’t think either of our current goalies can do that.

The charts that were posted show they have some of the easiest work in the league and are both performing below average.

With just an average goalie the Sabres are better in the standings.

Its not different. They signed him for the same role he gathered those numbers in and has been below average at it
- ieetbred

Define Average.
Who is in the pool you are comparing against?

Would you compare Curtis Lazar to Jack Eichel?
Or would you compare Lazar to 4th line Centers, or maybe 3rd and 4th line Centers?

Trade would be money in and money out. Get one of if not the top paid goalie in the league. Must be good. ex. Hutton, McCabe, and Staal for Bob.

bottom 6 team in the standings. Top 6 team in danger chance suppression?

I dont know im not a huge stat guy, i am usually watch the game guy. Ive been watching the same story the stats tell for 3 years with hutton

I am fine with ullmark for now. 9 years without playoffs i would think youre better than this
