    Nah, the hot hand seems to fade quickly whenever a goalie has a bad game, it tends to look like he is rotating them. I can assure you that Biron will be playing against New Jersey...

        we need to rotate a couple of them out of buffalo!

        Deal off Biron and Norrenon, get a proven vetran (like Cujo) bring Miller back up and let him learn the ropes from a vetran, he's the future of this club IMHO and who's going to teach him how to be a starting proven goalie? Biron? Norrenon? Nope!

            Its more like this,

            Biron has a bad game, Noronen is next.
            Noronen has a bad game, goes back to Biron.

              I still can't figure out this obsesson with Cujo

              He cost twice as much and will be playing hockey for a year or two tops.

              Plus- he sucks. What has he done this season that Biron hasn't?

                Have the sabres goaltenders been that bad with the exception of a few games (Atlanta comes to mind) ?

                Ruff has been rotating goalies the last few games and I think its worked out well. Both Noronen and Biron have played very well dating back to the first Montreal game 2 fridays ago.

                I have WAYYYY more confidence in Noronen since he came up from Rochester at the end of last season. Biron has played lights out this year except for his brainfart against Atlanta.

                Push has to come to shove in the Buffalo nets. Either Mika, Marty, or Ryan is going to get dealt. It looks like its gonna be one of the two guys that are up here...or possibly both if Miller is the goaltender of the future. Rotating the goalies...keeping them both active both mentally and physically to play, and keeping Miller in Rochester for the time being is the Sabres orgainization's best option.

                Finally, as dozer alluded...curb the Joseph talk, he isn't coming here. Rob Ray scored on him in the conference finals for chrissakes.

                  I said LIKE Cujo! I know the rumor has nothing behind it, my point was that I would love to see a proven vetran come into Buffalo, someone to mold Miller from an AHL great goalie to an NHL great goalie, and I don't think that anyone we have here can do it! I just don't want to see another great prospect get lost in the system like so many Sabres players that have been touted as "this is the one"

                  and the other thing I have said time and time again is we need at least one vetran "D" in the organization to help out with our blue line, the goalies are secondary if we can't stop the attack!

                      our goalies are fine, as long as we can score 4 a game, which we can't. Their GPA really isn't bad, it's the offensive slumps we go into that kill us.

                          I only remember the real "bad" game in net being the Biron performance against the Thrash. Other than that, it's been leaving forward unchecked in front of the net, or allowing wingers to skate by in our zone. Most of the blame has fallen on our defense, IMO. Plus, the lack of offense in a few games hasn't helped. Most of us can remember games where Dom would only allow 1 or 2 goals, and still lose, right?

                          Bringing in an overpriced goalie like Cujo isn't the answer.

                              Take a look at the stats...Biron on the Road. Mika at home.
