Saw it on their facebook page this morning.

One of our goalies have the flu, or is something else going on?

Either way, if there is something on the go or if one has the flu, we're screwed. If Lalime is on the move and he is brought up and starts, with the way he's played in the A we're screwed. If Miller is the one who is sick with the flu and Lalime is starting, we know how the team plays infront of him. It could end up being a very long night at HSBC...

Well, we know it wasn't a promotion based on his shaky start. I wonder if this is why Lalime didn't play last game...according to WGR it's because Patty has a groin pull.

Please, Darcy, trade Lydman or Tallinder to the Isles for Marty while he's in town.

If this were to happenETC, I'm pretty sure I would shit all over myself with excitement, lol.

Sudsie Maharaj?

....Sudsie Maharaj?

Sudsie?

Maharaj?

...done seen it all....

I dunno, Tallinder's been pretty solid lately, I'd almost be more willing to get rid of Lydman.

We know the Isles are rebuilding and need some youth. We could try Sekara+ pick/prospect for Marty. Then try and deal Lalime to someone for pick/prospect when he's healthy.

The Buffalo Sabres have called up Jhonas Enroth for tonight's game against the New York Islanders. WGR's Paul Hamilton is at today's morning skate, and will soon have an update as to why the move was necessary.

A Swedish website is reporting that Enroth is coming up to join the Sabres for the second time in his career in order spell Patrick Lalime who is battling groin trouble.

Enroth has played 10 of the last 12 games for Portland, but the results have been less than spectacular. The Pirates are giving up more goals than any team in the AHL, with Enroth's save percentage at .872, and his GAA at 3.90.

Stay tuned for more on this story, at the conclusion of today's morning skate which started at 10 AM.


-WGR

So it's true. Lalime is battling groin problems.

Lesser of two evils I guess. Last I checked, groin problems aren't as contagious as swine. As long as Miller doesn't come down with swine we're in good shape. But we're going to need another solid backup. This early in the season and given Patty's lower body status after last season, sorry Pat, I think it's time we start looking in other directions for a backup.

Although there is little chance of it, I think we should be looking across NY State to Long Island to the guy who wears a killer replica of Battlin Billy Smiths mask. Biron, I believe is his name?

Lalime is finished... We seriously need a quality backup, and soon. Being an Olympic year we just can't afford to fuck around with this. Darcy, Larry you should have made a fucking offseason move or signed Telqvist when Lalime required double hip surgery after the season.

They won't do it until the Sabres play a good game in front of him and we lose.

Perfect.

Lalime seems like a really good guy, but gotta agree that he's done. I don't blame Ruff at all for having no confidence in him. Sorry Patty.

Enroth's facebook status (yes, I'm friends with him on Facebook...don't judge me) said last night, "Buffalo " and I was like, "Whaaa??" and people were writing on his wall wishing him good luck...I was going to make a thread about it last night but I didn't think someone's Facebook status was enough to go by haha.

"Ruff said if Lalime is not ready to play by the weekend, Enroth will make his season debut."

WTF!? We're possibly starting him against either the Bruins or the Flyers? I know Miller needs some time off here and there, but don't you want your #1 in the net against some of the top teams in the east?

FYI, the Bruins are near the cellar right now. Hey, if the kid is gonna play, make it on the back end of 3 games in 4 nights when Miller needs the rest.

I still think he's a fine goalie, and has all the tools to make it in this league. Fast glove hand, good positioning, great vision; his stats in the AHL are more representative of the lack of "potency" the Pirates have this year, more than a reflection on him. I think he'll be just fine, and I feel like Lalime may be out sooner than later.

This is true. B's are low on the food chain. But if you could pick one team down there that can crawl out (or has the potential to do so) of the basement, I'd put my money on them over a team like the Leafs any day. Granted, there have been upsets with lower placed team running the board on much higher placed ones, I guess I just wish we had somewhat an easier schedule to ease him in. I guess if he is to be around for some time depending on Lalime's status, might as well toss him in against a team that can test him.

If the team plays as they have infront of our goalies the last while, man, he will be tested for sure!

What about Enroth's save percentage issues?

Also, goddamn do I wish the Sabres had signed Tellqvist...he was SOLID for a backup, for what little time they had him.
