I'm done worrying about Lalime

[RockStar36]

And the backup goaltender situation. Since being sent down for a 2 game conditioning stint, he has been everything the Sabres need in a backup and then some.

Couldn't agree more, he needs more starts to keep Ryan Miller in top form! It suddenly is a pretty good duo.

Glad he has turned things around.

Ehh...let's not get silly...

Re: I'm done worrying about Lalime

He has played very well for 4 games.
I feel better about it, but still have concerns.

I am happier that the team in front of him is playing better when he is in though.

He should get at least one start a week especially with all the games coming up.

Re: I'm done worrying about Lalime

Is he playing better, or is the team in front of him playing harder because they know he can't help keep them in games like Miller can?

I'm thinking this has more to do with it then anything. However, I'm just happy to see that it isn't an immediate loss anymore when Lalime starts.

Totally disagree.

He is playing much better. Against Chicago he had 40 saves. The other night against Pittsburgh where he came off the bench, he looked confident and ready to go. I never really saw that from him last year.

I can't agree with that. It is really a mix of both.

He was outstanding against Chicago and both games against Pittsburgh.

Allowing 2 goals in 8 periods against those teams is more than the team in front of him.

In his first game against Pittsburgh he got lucky too many times. He flops and dives all over the place whenever a shot is taken.

Wow, it's amazing how easily you guys just forget how bad this guy is/was after a couple of good starts. I'm not saying that I'm not happy he isn't swiss cheese anymore, but it just blows my mind the mentality that he is all of sudden not a problem.

I think all most have said is that he has played well lately. (although a few are going farther than that)

I find it more amazing that you can't admit that he has a streak of 4 very good to outstanding games.

Now you're reaching...as usual. I've already said that I'm happy that him being in the nets isn't an automatic loss. I'm not going to start acting like he is all better now and is the answer as the backup. I still don't think this guy could handle the workload if Miller was to go down and he proved that last year....that is my biggest concern, what happens if Miller is out for an extended period of time? I don't know, this guy still scares me.
