LOL, glad I missed this one. Apparently we still suck, I'm flabbergasted. Also, I'd probably shut UPL down for the rest of the way. You're just doing psychological damage at this point. I didn't watch, and I'm sure it's not all his fault that he has a bad team in front of him, but he's not good. Hasn't been for months. On the plus side, only 10 games left in this miserable season. I still fully expect the status quo to continue, but there's still this tiny gleam that's holding out hope that we get some significant change.

He will hang on to UPL and Levi until the bitter end. I'm not writing either off, by any means. Both have shown enough flashes of ability to see there *might* be something there. But goalies are funny, man. And tying entire seasons to young/unproven goalies is not something you can do if you're serious about getting to the playoffs. It's a total dice roll. And if they go into next season with an expected Levi/UPL tandem, then they are not serious about it again. I'm sure they'll keep Reimer on again as the latest version of the greybeard plan B like Anderson, and (not really greybeard) Comrie. If Levi & UPL pull it together, they may have a chance. If it's another year of spotty results and having to fall back on the aged guy to stop a spiral, it'll be yet another wasted year. They could start by getting them a decent goalie coach. That might help. This has been the fatal flaw in Adams's plan. Too much is being banked on the production of young guys.

At what point does Detroit admit the Yzerplan has failed?

3...2...1..won On to the next one. And the Wings lost again

WE WANT 8 WE WANT 8 WE WANT 8

Sabres power play Edit, nevermind lol

Sens about to blow a 4-1 lead? Don't do it, you bums.

BALLS

Little Ball of Mischief. I like it.

Little ball of hate.

Couldn't even gain the zone the last 2/3 of that power play. Damn, close...

Jbd drops the gloves and gets wrecked. Good effort? Welcome to the Sabres.

That was a very Sabres goal against.

Seeing the Wings collapse warms my cold, dead heart. Misery loves company. I want the Yzerplan to fail miserably.

I did, too; but I never thought they'd get this bad. They are in horrible shape and I don't see how they get better with the contracts they gave out to their grey beards. That Karlsson trade was an enormous mistake.

Yeah, I've been pretty much expecting it, but thought maybe if they collapsed hard it would force some change. But per usual, they start winning when it doesn't mean anything. So, endless hamster wheel. I do prefer watching wins though, so in torn.

Yankees win and this. Not a bad day.

Pens are a MESS. Wonder if at some point in the near future Sid asks for a trade to a contender. I can't imagine him wanting to end his career on a loser.

I suspect ambivalence is some of it. Pens are really bad, though. Also, nothing to play for, no pressure, so they're playing loose. Which I'm sure will convince Adams again no big changes are needed. Yippee.

Same. Too bad it took 70 damn games. 😑

KOZAK, POUR IT ON, BOYS

KULICH x2

Good to see we're doing the late season false hope things again.

They've played a lot of backup goalies. Given a long enough timeline, this team will always regress to the mean because it's still a poorly constructed roster with too many soft spots. In other words - they're not very good. There's enough individual talent to cobble together a nice run for a short time, but they're not a good enough team to sustain it. I'll enjoy these wins where we can get them, but I'm not getting sucked into "what if" and "if only" with this bunch. They've shown too many times who they are. There's a lot of work to do to get over that hump.
