Sabres Goalie Controversy

2 games into the preseason. 2 goalies that are 1-0. Mika Noronen is the next between the pipes. Darcy Reiger and Lindy Ruff do not have an easy decision facing them if all goaltenders sparkle in the preseason as they have so far. From what I have seen Ryan Miller is playing stronger than Biron right now. He faced more shots in his win and won by the same score. Miller also outplayed Marty in the Thursday night scrimagge I saw. Noronen is the wildcard here. If he plays well too he might be the most attractive option to trade away.

Mika has a low salary and like Mika Kipprusoff in Calgary he is a Finn and maybe a steal for whatever team picks him up. I still feel Biron must go.He has been the starter since Hasek left has yet to lead the team to the playoffs. No one else on the team has been as many chances in net and failed so consistently.

This 2-0 start needs to carry over into the regular season or else the Sabres will get lost in the Bills hysteria. Preseason is like cotton candy, it's nice and sweet but ultimately it will not leave you satisfied. A good regular season start would be like a nice steak dinner with a twice baked potato and salad with house dressing. Sabres fans will be fully satisfied and happy to buy tickets for a second helping.
