Is UPL a number one again?

Solid win

We should pull UPL in order to neutralize their extra attacker

Their uniform tonight is in my top 5 all time. I’ve always loved these ones.

Does anyone else think it should be a benchable offense to try and dangle through a defender with an empty net like Quinn did? It’s just bizarre to me that this keeps happening in critical moments (Tage multiple times). Why tf are you trying pull off a fancy move especially in that moment? It’s just inexcusable imo.

Great insight! I forgot some of these details. Definitely something to what you’re saying If he’s playing hurt that’s terrible. Something is clearly off.

You might be right. It’s a worry also that this organization can send promising players in the wrong direction. Especially a goaltender who needs to be the most mentally tough.

Your second paragraph is so inaccurate and I’m saying that with full respect. Just for discussion purposes. There are so many games where he’s let in a goal and then he’s made a ton of incredible saves to keep our team in it. I’ve just noticed this trend among our fan base to turn on a goalie as soon as he lets one in. I don’t know if it’s because we all wish Hasek would come back because he’s the only guy who could save us from this mess singlehandedly. I do think there are times where it does snowball on UPL, but I would say that’s more rare than what I described. He’s also still young and he has a joke of a team around him. I don’t know if I’m in the minority here, but I truly am very comfortable with UPL and Reimers a solid backup and I’m very confident in Levi to develop over the next couple years in Rochester. goaltending is legitimately my last concern with this mess.

I’m actually feeling really good about the game. A ton of reasons why but I just think we’re going to be able to out maneuver them and I trust Sean and the guys to be able to learn from earlier in the season and to execute. Yeah, obviously Josh was a home run actually a grand slam, but I do believe you have to give a ton of credit to Beane and company for identifying exactly what they wanted and going and getting him. And putting in place the right people to develop him. And then build a team around him. It was honestly a master class. And I also feel that they’re all improving across the organization, which is just genuinely exciting. I get what you’re saying, but I really just have to give all the credit in the world for them to know what Josh was way before anyone else could ever envision it.

I wonder if Kevyn would admit that Carolina should’ve (and would’ve) gotten swept by us if we weren’t ravaged by bad luck injuries in ‘06. He says he knows how a Cup winner operates and what it looks like. His resume shouldn’t even include that if we’re being honest.

Can we just spike their water bottles with growth hormone? I’M TIRED OF A CHILD TEAM

I really just hate this team…sucks to feel this way.

I don’t think this team is that good

I don’t know if I would agree with this. I think it’s a pretty big exaggeration. Beane is way too shrewd. We wouldn’t be a perennial powerhouse, but we would be a competitive team every year. We might have somebody like Cousins under center. I just don’t buy that we would be a terrible team or even close to the dumpster fire. That is the Buffalo Sabres if we didn’t have Josh Allen. Regardless, I thank God every day that we do have Josh Allen.

These guys get excited and focused for like one game out of three or four and maybe one period a night. It’s so unacceptable.

I’m just not buying this sentiment. He could be better I’m sure, but I place the blame 90:10 on the defense. He’s consistently hung out to dry by our porous, soft defense.

WE have 38?! I thought with all the wild misses we were lower.

Thank God for Josh and the Bills. That’s interesting if true! Honestly never heard that.

Is that bad? There was one night I forget the game, where a bunch of comments were made about how they must have practiced shooting accuracy because most of them were on point I guess that was the one practice of the year where they worked on that?

Does anyone else think that all of this is so much worse because of the fact that the Bills are now such a well run, top organization and it’s the same owner? It has to heighten the anger and confusion. it’s like … impossible… Other than the only explanation being Terry just totally lucked out with hiring McBeane. It’s the only way this is possible.

Is it switch a stick night? A righty lefty swap to keep the boys interested? My God this is the worst shooting accuracy of the season. It’s gotta be up there because most of us have commented on it the entire game. It’s that noticeable.

That’s the third tonight right? Bonehead penalty leading to clean point blank goal? They’re not even disciplined. They can’t even do that.

It’s a disaster almost across the board. And Adams already gave him the bag. If you don’t laugh, you have to cry with the situation.

What the heck happened to Thompson’s wrist shot? I have saved clips of him sniping from outside the circle. Every single shot now is right in the crest of the goalie.
