    Please get a quality backup!!!

    Lalame is brutal...everytime the team would get some momentum, this guy gave up a goal...just like last year. This guy is not good enough to backup in the NHL...please get somebody who can actually win a couple of games when called upon!!!!!

      How can you blame it on Lalime? I just don't get it.

      I mean, allowing goals right after we scored was our weakness last year, but screw going back that far. I don't expect you to remember last season.... how about last night with Miller? TWICE, when the Sabres score, Isles came right back and made it a game of it. The next night, same problem. I don't think it's Lalime or Miller, it's our team playing hungover or whatever it may be that is the problem.

      IF... Roy doesn't take a stupid hooking penalty after Mac's goal, we may not allow the White goal.... IF... Myers doesn't get schooled by Max, we don't allow a goal after Drew's goal. Pretty simple IMO.

      Team was flat tonight. They were flat last night too and if it wasn't for horrid goaltending by the Isles, we'd lose 2 in a row. Just like last year. Suck against bad teams.
      Impossible is Nothing.

        I still don't know why we didn't try to bring back Marty. We could have used him...

          He's atrocious. The team just never plays well in front of him, they mark it down as a loss before the puck even drops.

            What was wrong with that Tellqvist guy? I personally liked him better than Lalime and would have preferred to keep him.

              I'm sure the Sabres weren't willing to pay him the amount of money nor give him the playing time he's getting in the KHL...

                LaLime wasn't atrocious. The team was buried in concrete the first 10-12 minutes of the game. Two goals weren't even his fault. When the team plays as poorly (outshot 12-1 in the first 11 minutes) as they did you can't expect a goalie to bail them out all the time. I don't want any goalie to have to be perfect all the time. Is LaLime great? no. Do I want him as our back up? no. Was he the reason the Sabres lost Saturday? no.

                  They should have signed Marty OR Roloson... Islanders are hogging all the quality backups. Lalime is garbage. I am glad Ruff gave Miller a rest but I know he will hesitant next time and will probably ride MIller into the ground.....

                    Ok so what are you trying to say here? Do you want a better backup or not?

                            You know the team seems to take the night off when Lalime is in there. I am not sure if they don't have faith in the guy and accept the loss when he starts or is sick of trying to just let the effort gets wasted by his poor play but this team plays differently in front of Miller than Lalime. Not all the goals were his fault but he definitely lets in too many goals when it is his fault.

                              the Sabres did try to bring him back,

                              "I knew that a situation like Buffalo would've been a situation where I would've gotten in to play some games, more than usual but at the same time I think this situation will give me the best chance to play on a regular basis and not sit for a couple of weeks or four or five games. Now, was I excited about possibly, maybe coming back? Very. I know 95-percent of these guys personally and I was excited about maybe coming back, but you make sacrifices."
