Why doesn't Lydman play like that

[SabreEleven]

when he has a Sabres Jersey on? He'll go back to giving up the puck left and right on Wednesday night.

Re: Why doesn't Lydman play like that

Lydman has been one of our best defenseman all year. He's had a couple bad games and Sabre fans throw him under the bus.

Have you seen our record without him?

Re: Why doesn't Lydman play like that

When I was watching the game today, I heard them say, "Great defensive play by Lydman!" and I'm like, "Huh?"

He's a good contributor on offense for us but has too many defensive gaffes.

Re: Why doesn't Lydman play like that

I don't know what you guys have been watching, other than those last couple games before the break...Lydman and Tallinder have been our best defenseman IMO...McKee has been great aswell.

Top5 shot blockers in league..

1) Jay McKee - 3.16
2) Karlis Skrastins - 2.69
3) Bryce Salvador - 2.53
4) Toni Lydman - 2.52
5) Mark Eaton - 2.49

Lydman isnt here to block shots though..


He's PLayed great and before the breeak he looked distracted which led to inconsistan play, one night he'd rock the next he'd give the puck away so many times you'd think it was a charity

Sounds more like Afinogenov. He needs to be more consistent, and learn to know where the net is without looking where ever you are on the nice. I can recall 3 diff times he missed almost completely empty nets... Afinogenov is great when he has room to work, he has great stick handling ability, but he trys doing TOO much and tends to give up the puck every game.

And if he wins the gold he be even more distracted and tired. The gold medal is a hugh thing for Europeans.
