Too bad he's got 4 years left on his contract. He's going to get all the chances in the world to "succeed" for at least another 2 years.

Why does old man Reimer keep dropping his cane?

There's no saving UPL's season. The book is written. He sucks. But, by seeing how well 37yo Reimer does in the remaining games, we can get a true sense of how badly UPL sucked. With enough sample size, we can see how much a JAG goalie might improve this team.

Lafferty sucks!

The point is, if we trade/package him for a proven player this summer, we can end the cycle of being the youngest team in the league whose veterans eventually lose their love of the game and leave.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, remember that Quinn dominated in the AHL... Like really dominated. Where is he now? We don't need to keep being the youngest team in the league. He's so far from being able to contribute... If he ever does. It's way easier said than done, but let's use him as part of a package to get a legit top 6 F or top 4 D. Let's see who can't afford to sign all their vets this summer and make a deal.

Sounds like a real good trade piece!

So you're saying running multipage threads on players wanting out due to their reactions after they score might be a waste of time? That said, I remember UPL doing a Finnish interview where he seemed unhappy and didn't like being called UPL. Do you think we can lay into the UPL thing a little harder? I figure we can upgrade from him with a 37yo journeyman, and keep the $5 million a season for a new paint job in the arena.

I would still trade him in a McLeod - Savoie style deal. Hopefully his value keeps rising to get us a guy even better than McLeod.

Don't give Byram a contract.

I don't like UPL. I don't want him on my team anymore.

I slept through the last two periods but Moneypuck says UPL had just under 3 expected goals against, yet he let in 7.

Fuh Kopff!

Does anyone besides me like Pearl St Grill pizza? It's inconsistent, but when it's good, it's really good. I think I prefer it to Imperial which is my go to when my daughter plays hockey in that neck of the woods. We had a bachelor party for a friend at a Sabres - Leafs game maybe 7 or 8 years ago. We were all Canadians and I was the only Sabres fan. One friend in the party was from North Bay (home of Craig Rivet) 3.5 hours north of Toronto. He liked the pizza so much he brought his girlfriend back the following weekend for a hockey-shopping-pizza getaway, with the pizza being the focus.
