Owen Parker shares his thoughts on Alex Lyon’s performance in the Sabres opener #buffalosabres #nhl
I was not ready to show up this morning. The way we talked yesterday, I thought, I’m expecting them to look good and I’m really really worried about the goalending. The flip end actually maybe happened is they didn’t score a goal, but I kind of felt pretty good about how the goalie looked. I I loved his game last night. I I I know like you end up giving up four and it looks kind of lopsided and the save percentage isn’t going to be any good off of that game, but I thought he made an unbelievable first save of the game off of a one-time shot. Glove saved just right in, which was a really really solid start. Like that just gives your team a second to like, okay, we could have given one up there, we didn’t. Our guy bailed us out. Let’s get rolling. and they did not do that. And he was their best player in the first period by a mile in my opinion. He looked calm and confident. He read plays really, really well. Everything got that got that could have gotten eaten up by him got eaten up. Everything that touched his chest protector stayed in his chest protector. And they just he did a great job of providing them every opportunity to win that game. And just you need a goal. You can’t you give them a a a performance like that through whatever it was 47 minutes that you you give them a onegoal deficit to come back out of and your team can’t give you one and that’s all you can ask of a goalie really like you’re not you’re never expecting your guy to play any better than Lion did last night I don’t think. Yeah. At least in from the group that they have like you’re not getting much better than that on a consistent basis. There will be an outlier game here or there where you’ll get a a a really good night out of a guy. Yeah. But that if that’s what you’re getting out of Lion consistently, you’re going to win games if you can score. Yeah. You’ve got to score. Yep. So, I thought he played really well. I’m encouraged by it. I I think he’s back in there on Saturday against Boston. I would definitely put them right back out
