Excuse for that year? Correct me if i am wrong but I thought your running opinion was that there’s nothing Adams could have reasonably done to supplement the position for *any* of the last three years including this one? Ie the goaltending is either “good” or “the best reasonably possible” and that KA isn’t amendable to the results?

Love his music

Pretty surprising KA had no viable back up plan for G then considering it was apparently so unlikely we’d ever sign Linus

OMG PLEASE. PLEASE! This might be the best day in sports history

Agree with all this, ..maybe the last part: he needs to prove to be a top 2 option between him and the other guys. Being better than Comrie isn’t a huge hurdle, but you are right he hasn’t thus far. But do you give him a chance to, now? Or does he not get a shot until he does those 40 ahl games? Maybe rather than “spot starts” I’d give him “spot shots”.

Following up on this, I know we don’t like Jack Edwards, but I had that feed today and he knows what he’s taking about more than Ray (lol) and Dan. Bruins players were shooting wide on the PP and Edwards was calling attention to the fact Levi’s quick reflexes to get into position was forcing the wide shots by cutting off the angle. Those don’t even register as a shot, or save. But a lesser performance from the tender would have a slower adjustment by the goalie, a wide open net for the shooter, and talk about how the goalie had “no chance” because the D left their man open you don’t notice these things because A) or goalies are usually bad B) our guys don’t point out anything useful on air C) it’s the chances that never even happen that primly illustrate the goalie talent. “What could he have even done”. The reason this question gets asked is B/c people don’t know what the good ones are doing. just rewatch DL’s game today and learn

It’s also because Levi played really well. I caught a ton of breakdowns in the 3rd where he came up huge. I’ll say it every time: it’s both. Simply crediting team D when the goalie plays well and then saying “not even prime hasek could have saved our bacon with that D” every time they don’t just devalues the position in its entirety. No idea why we want to always pin it on one thing: you need good D and good goaltending. Goaltending has not been good enough overall. Tonight it was Don’t undersell what Levi did. He made a couple saves off deflections that if (when) Comrie had let in, we’d say “can’t blame him, deflection.” You can also just make the save. As we saw today

It wasn’t a miracle performance, we are just used to the terribly low expectation of a goalie amounting to “not being the reason we lost.” This is what merely good/ really good goalies do: make a lot of the high danger saves. We need good goalie play to win, sometimes great - but this is what it looks like. edit - miracle relative to our usual, sure

“Of all people” haha, ‘spose I’ve played my part well. If it’s going to be Comrie, sure, keep 3 I guess. Comrie stinks

Don’t really like the idea of going back to 3

I think you have to go back to UPL if he’s healthy. They intimated to him he’s the starter/earned more games, I’d give him a shot to continue seizing that

ClifTon and RosEn but yes

Trash talking? I didn’t realize we were on opposite sides lol w/e moving on

I’m not sure if you are trolling one player doesn’t carry a team to the playoffs, that’s not how it works. Is that your actual argument? That we didn’t make the playoffs so Ullmark wasn’t good enough? He posted a .917 sv% with a 2.63 GAA his last season in Buffalo For comparison UPL has a .907 sv% with a 2.81 GAA this season

No, he was certainly good enough in Buffalo im not really sure what you are referring to

So he looked really good?

I have the Boston feed so it’s been fun to hear Edwards sound so disappointed

Losing to Buffalo makes teams big mad lol we should try this more often

More than 10 minutes of continuous play before that goal

Surprised Skinner missed that

This is really going to be the Sabres thing, isn’t it..
