Montreal is a good team, go to the net, go to the corners they can score and they play a heavy game, gonna be a hard game.

It’s proven it can’t though.

Buffalo goaltending however you slice and dice it is some of the worst in the entire league.

For every Comrie shutout there is 10 stinkers.

Buffalo ranks 19th in high danger shots against per money puck.

The goaltending is extremely flawed and flat out needs to be better.

I agree it needs to be better, but when they play better all around team D like the other night and there have been a few other games are goaltending has been adequate as long as they don't need there head on a swivel. Like to see a Goalie added but think 2 good D could help immensely just as much. Sabres Forwards will get better at Dzone coverage just because the good prospects they have coming up already play a fundamentally sound 200ft games already, just will have to adapt that to the Pro's.

Markstrom is a fascinating study.

Last year, putting up amazing numbers. 63 GP, 5v5
GSAA 3.19
xGA 113.37 (1.80 per game)
HDSV% 0.852

This year. 52 GP, 5v5
GSAA -3.62
xGA 98.27 (1.90 per game)
HDSV% 0.798

Dan Vlader and Jacob Markstrom swapped stats between last and this year. Odd.

UPL and Comrie both have better HDSV% than Markstrom. And that poop is funny.

Sabres really controlled the game vs the islanders.

Could see them slide for sure.

7 - 1 -2 Sabres
Beat florida in regulation

Tage Thompson isn’t on the ice for the morning skate. Vinnie Hinostroza and Jordan Greenway are out there. Goalies are UPL, Comrie and Levi.

The Sabres need one win to achieve their highest single-season total (36) since they won 39 in 2011-12.

Do you think Levi gets the start tonight or too soon? Still in the playoff race.

I think if they lost to the Islanders he would have but now I dont know.
