Power, Bryson as a defensive pair makes no sense. Who was the idiot that signed Bryson again?

I hope this is a good sign that upl is done here. If you were going to play him, I would think it would be this game.

Was looking bleak there for a bit. But they found a way. Need more of that

upl with another soft goal. He let's in the soft fourth goal as the game looser. How in the heck are there not firings happening.

Married to an accountant. We were talking about lack of effort from ownership to make this team better. She had two words. Tax right off. Ok three words. Pagula is making a killing with the bills. It may be the tipping point factor as to why he isn't as motivated as we want him to be to have a successful NHL franchise. Maybe he'd like a successful hockey team but it doesn't overcome the tax benefits. IDK

Not dumping on Lyon because of this game specifically. But Lyon is not the answer. He's better than what we've had, if he can maintain this level. We've been so used to sorry goaltending that he looks good. He's just another filler. I understand putting Tuch and Thompson on different lines but they play much better together than apart. We want them to produce more. Keeping them together gets you that.

Glutton for punishment here. I'll be watching

This team plays more apprehensive in front of upl. They know he's not going to be able bale them out if they make a mistake. It's disheartening to them and after years of this they just don't try as hard. If we as fans know upl let's in soft goals at the worst times. You know the players know it even more.

I don't ever want to see upl in net again. Great move kevi boy

ka is too heavily invested in upl

Sounds about right to me

Mucky Waders Hate to be a Debbie downer, but we are one point from being in last place in the Eastern conference 😀 Get after it boys. Get the two points GO SABRES

An orator I am not. You said this way better than I did. This is what I was trying to say. We take a step backward when upl plays. We can't afford any regression.

I am convinced that the team doesn't play the same in front of UPL. I think he has let them down too many times. The team is just starting to play the right way. I don't want to see them slip back into how they played last year. Which is what happens when UPL let's in a soft goal. I was surprised they even made it to OT. I really don't want UPL playing any games. Play Lyon, Ellis and Lev. It's all on ka that we are in this "hope our goalies keep us in it" crap. I am so tired of ka's too little too late mentality.

Upl said he was ready and ka made it happen

Yet another "normal" game for upl. Who coulda saw that coming. Send ka and upl to the moon.

I also hope Lyon continues his high level of play, but... Hopes and maybes are not a winning strategy

Agreed defense is important. How long has ka been gm? I haven't been asking for a top 1-3 goaltender. Anywhere in the top 15 would have been nice. I can't even count the number of games where our goalie would make a great save and the team would be flying and within five minutes let in a soft goal. Players loose faith in inconsistent goaltending. This has happened every year since Ullmark. That's on ka.

I've been preaching this for years. Your goalie loses or wins you more games than any other player on the ice. KA is a moron.

Two days from opening game of the season and here we are still no true number one goalie. YEESH... ka is brilliant

Ka has had 5-6 years to fix the goalie position. I'd say we're in as bad of or worse shape than when ka came here.

Yay, Bryson is back in the lineup. I know we're down two d men but still. And we have a silly goalie rotation yet again. How anyone can take ka seriously is beyond me

Wow, the Adams clown show continues. What are we going on now in the goalie rotation, 5-6 years. He could easily gotten a bonefied number 1 goalie in that time. What an idiot

Ever heard of the four headed monster

This is the ongoing mo of ka. It's all hopefully players play better this year instead of going out there and getting players that are better
