  1. I've had a boycott in place where I won't buy any tickets until the team is in the playoffs. I did go to the Colorado game at the start of the losing streak, but I think they were in a playoff spot (or close) when my friend bought the tix. My 15yo daughter's been asking about going to a game before the end of the season. I think I'll break down and go Tuesday's game... They're practically giving the tickets away anyways. Am I doing the right thing? 😁
  2. UPL isn't streaky- unless you're talking about streaks in your underpants.
  3. You're probably right, but UPL's metrics are so far off league median that if Reimer gives you anywhere close to that, we get enough extra wins to be in the playoff race. Edit: Stated otherwise, of goalies that have played 40 games or more, the median goals saved above expected is 13.4 (Dustin Wolf). UPL is -9.4. if we had 22 less goals against we're in positive goal differential at plus 3.
  4. 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.
  5. Why does old man Reimer keep dropping his cane?
  6. 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.

  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Sounds like a real good trade piece!
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
