Levi needs to show he can stay consistent. One game he looks good, the next he gives up 6 goals on 20 shots and looks terrible.

UPL also the only one with a negative XGA, as per usual.

Sabres being a really good PK team is not a mirage...still leading the NHL in PK at 89.7%

Well damn...Zucker must have done much better than expected because he said earlier Monday that the earliest he would be back would be this weekend.

The worst is a bad Sabres loss the day before a Bills game...I feel like that's a bad omen and usually leads to not a great game from the Bills.

Heard he ordered a large sheet from Bocce Club for the Bills game yesterday and devoured it all himself from nerves watching the game transpire...

Hopefully the Granato Sabres show up that never blew 3rd period leads.

why are they not giving him things like the bodybuilders used to gain weight like pineapple juice mixed with heavy cream? Or something similar in terms of weight gainer shakes? This seems like it should be easily preventable...just because you are on liquids, doesn't mean that they have to be devoid of caloric content these days. IMO, this is a terrible job by the nutrition team.

I mean Ruff seems to be at the heart of this going back to McKee having an infection from not washing his equipment/socks or whatever it was in Game 7 of Carolina and it's been all down hill from there.

What in the hell is going on with this team??

Holy guacamole...Buffalo is cursed this year...Bills and Sabres just getting hit with serious injury after serious injury without any let up.

bahaha...why not call up the entire AHL roster at this point. They might actually play better.

I want Zac Brown so he can bring his band with him to provide some actual entertainment.

The problem I have is that UPL is just not mentally focused or prepared properly on a day-to-day basis and he really never has been outside of when he had to fight to make the Sabres roster or fight to earn a new contract. Things like that are far harder to change than improving skills. He would have to admit to himself that he is failing himself and most people's egos will never allow that to happen, they will blame someone or something else.

well there goes that theory on UPL

I mean it beats being the worst team in the NHL at home like they were for so long...

Ruff pumping them up this morning: "OK boys! We have a chance to set a new NHL record for most OT games in a row! Let's make sure that happens..."

The determination is he sucks and only plays well when he has to ty and earn something. Outside of that, he looks unfocused, undisciplined and unmotivated day to day. The worst thing for UPL is to have a situation where he is the clear #1 option, you will get the worst version of him instead of the best, which is the absolute worst case scenario for a guy who you expect to be a franchise Goalie. Small sample size so far and if it continues over the course of the year that typically will catch up to you by February.

Sylvester sure thinks so...

Toronto and Montreal also achieved this in the Stanley Cup Final in 1951 with all 5 games going to OT, with Toronto winning the series and Cup 4-1

No Sabres had 5 in 2022 as well...see above...not sure if there are more than this

That's not true, we TIED the team record. This also occurred in 2022 from March 10th-March 23rd.

I dunno...Caps literally didn't even have a shot on goal I don't think in their last 3 PP's and the best scoring chance was MacLeod's breakaway shorthanded. If they did have a shot it was nothing dangerous.
