Thanks for all the input. It is helpful. Not sure what we are going to be able to do.

Flying into buffalo on Sunday? Supposed to go to the Monday afternoon game thru the Saturday game Wondering the likely hood of airport shutting down on Sunday. Anyone that lives in buffalo would definitely have a better feel for what's coming. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

What happened to Skinner?

This is sad, but it is coming unless major changes are made for next season with goaltending and grit with skill. I did not like the Thompson line. We basically had Greenway as a third liner with arguably our best forward. Makes no sense.

One of the commentators said during the game that good goaltending leads to good play. It helps build confidence in their game. I agree 100%. Why we couldn't just improve one position over what the last three four seasons is beyond me. Oh yeah KA

I can't drive 55

The pens had several breakaways and UPL made the saves. You have to have a goalie that can bail out the team. Tonight UPL did that.

Giving credit where credit is due. UPL with a strong game. They have to learn how to win these tough low scoring games. Keep it up boys!

Let's get number 2. Let's go BUFFALO!!!!

Get rid of KA, Granton, all assistant coaches. I would keep Tage, Tuch, Dahlin, Quinn, Levi and Skinner only because of his contract. Trade everyone else for players with grit that can play. Not bargain basement players and a true #1 goalie and let Levi be the backup for a couple of years

To the bold Really?!?!? UPL let in 2 goals on 20 shots in regulation. To contrast BJ's goalie only let in 2 goals on 40 shots in regulation. We had a lot of point blank chances where he made great saves so we can't say, well our defense was bad in front of UPL so he didn't have a chance. No he needs to make more saves

The length of this thread tells you all you need to know. No one doubts he wants to win. But how serious is he really. No real additions in this past off season. Not even gonna start about the goalie thingy. Anyone serious about winning is willing to make changes when needed, not late or maybe never in KA's instance.

A bag of pucks for Comrie is a little generous I think

I know. It's yet another instance of KA mishandling a situation

What in the world jost doing on the top line. I know it didn't last long but by the time hcdg made the change it was too late. Can we please get rid of olofsson. He is completely useless.

Run and gun. Score often and hope Levi let's in less than we put in. Let's Go BUFFALO!!!!

Not really

To the bold. He can't score. He brings almost zero offense. He has 2 goals and 0 assists in 20 games.

I know. My point is he ended up letting in 4.

Really, that means we would of had to score 5 goals to win the game. I've said it before and I'll say it again. You aren't going to win many games when you have to score 5 goals. THANK YOU KA. You are brilliant. No legit goalie in how many years?

Coaching staff just needs to get out of the way and let them play wide open hockey. At least it's fun to watch

To the bold. Yeah.... Good luck with that. Is Skinner ready to play tomorrow night?

Raanta is available. Really not an improvement other than he is a vet and probably doesn't make as many gaffes

I'm telling you, this team doesn't try when they know the goalie is the best player for the other team!!

This team plays differently with Levi in net. I believe they play better and more aggressive because they believe in him to make the saves. When upl or comrie are in net I believe they already think they are going to loose. And that is why we see two different teams play. Just my personal opinion on this.
