Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted July 6, 2007 8:33pm et The Buffalo Sabres sign goaltender Jocelyn Thibault to a one-year deal. Per TSN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DetroitIan Report post Posted July 6, 2007 Not too bad of a signing. Not like he's gonna see much ice time. T-BO is only decent at this point in his career anyway. But he should be a pretty solid backup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted July 6, 2007 Good move for the Sabres. Thibault is a great backup. If Miller bombs next season, they have a great insurance option. I always liked Thibault. I feel bad that he always has had hip problems though, since that's limited his effectiveness. I still think he's a good goalie though, so it's a good signing on Buffalo's part.

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted July 6, 2007 Wow this guy is turning into the NHL bicycle every team is going to have a ride on T-Bo Buffalo is only Thibault's 5th team. That matches what Ed Belfour, Dwayne Roloson, Dan Cloutier, and Curtis Joseph have accomplished to date, and is fewer than Kevin Weekes and Jamie McLenan have played for.

I assume you mean this in "theory". This makes absolutely no sense for Dom or Buffalo. Dom wants to win one more championship, and Miller is the man in Buffalo now. He's not going to Buffalo, and ride the pine simply to retire a Sabre. Back on topic: A decent backup for Miller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thibault will be a fine backup for Miller... and yes, pipe-dream/theory on Dom retiring a Sabre. It would have just been cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
