Hey everyone im new here. My names kris and its nice to meet you all. If your on facebook i created a page to bring marty back to buffalo. If u dont mind following that would be great and if we can spread the news around maybe management will take notice. I'm aware lalime is not the only problem on the team, but i cant take watching his play anymore. Miller is spent and with the olympics coming up he is going to be dead. We need Martin Biron back. So tell your friends and join the group please. Thank you!

Actually, I am going to worry. You want us to go on Facebook to tell our GM to bring in a back up goalie you like? Wow!

[TheImpact]

He was a great goalie who a lot of buffalo liked? Showed more spirit than most of the team does. Can i remind u of his hard nosed effort in the ottawa brawl. Or the win streaks he put together when miller was out injured? What has Lalime done for us.

Can you explain to me what makes Biron a better goalie then Lalime?

Because I think Biron would be a downgrade over Lalime.

[TheImpact]

lalime has given the sabres a total of 8 wins in the past two seasons.
as opposed to 16 regulation losses and 5 more ot losses
that makes him 8 and 21 as a starter.
that alone shows we need a new reliable backup goalie.
more often than not biron did a solid job as backup

Biron was never really a "backup" on this team until his last season here. Up till that point he shared duty with Miller.

As has been noted before, when Lalime gets to play, he plays well. When Lindy staples him to the bench for half a month, he's not going to do well.

we all have good points. i just wanna see management actually make some moves that make fans go woah they actually are trying to better the team

Not sure how Biron is going to get us past the 1st round...

Think about it for a second; a trade for a BACKUP goalie midway through the season doesn't make any sense. At all.

I like your moxy, kid. But if you call what happened in that Ottawa game a brawl, then you obviously were not alive for hockey in the 80s. Nothing that occurs on the ice post-lockout, except perhaps some games out West here and there, come CLOSE to actual brawls. No, really, calling it a brawl is a disservice to the word 'brawl'. I can not stress this enough.

Oh and Biron sucks now.

This team could desperately use Marty back here. When Lalime starts the team plays tentatively in front of him. Marty is well rested and riding the pine in NY as the no. 3 goalie. Bring him back!

I doubt it happens this season because 1) the Sabres won't eat Lalime's salary for the balance of the year nor sit him as a 3rd goalie; and 2) they have higher priorities to address (PP, offense) right now via trade.

However, with both Biron and Lalime set to be UFAs this summer, I think it's very plausible that the Sabres may bring Biron back if he's willing to accept the backup role (still an unknown because all of the media interviews he's done since leaving Buffalo have echoed his desire to have a shot at # 1) and is affordable (no more than $1.0M).

Personally I'd probably go "DOH!" if Darcy's annual trade was for Biron.

Agreed. Unless Marty also happens to be a top line Center and we just didn't know it.

I think that would make his record 8-16-5. ;)

Biron was never "great". I wouldn't even describe him as "very good". He was a slightly above average goalie...nothing more, nothing less.

PS How much of a fan favorite he was, has no place in the discussion of why he should be brought back here.

Maybe the Sabres can hire him as their new mascot?
