Yum, PM me the recipe if you feel like sharing. I'm Irish/Native American so I have no clue how to make good meatballs. Mine always suck. 1 Quote

Getting shelled in the NHL for a game won’t make much difference, I guess. At least he will have a glimpse of the speed and where he needs to go. This is a bizarre year to be this far down the depth chart. What was the purpose of the Johansson trade? 1 Quote

Get someone you believe in (Ullmark) and someone else you're also going to go to battle for. I'm not sold on Ullmark as a #1, and I think he is gone after this season anyways. They need a game plan for a true #1 until Portillo is ready. I'm not sure 6K is gonna cut it. 1 Quote

Boston is gonna bounced from the playoffs fairly quick. It's certainly showing against us. (They also are undefeated since the trade deadline.) What happens in the playoffs is still far away, but they'll be a tough out for the Caps, Isles, or Pens. They might even be the favorite to come out of our division's bracket. 1 Quote

Just like the Sabres to bring a guy in too soon and let him get mentally *****. Biron got shelled by the Pens getting called up too soon. Miller was in tears after getting destroyed by the team he grew up watching. Getting pummeled tomorrow won't ruin him. And, hey, if he gets lucky, he can have something positive to look back on. (Expecting the pummeling, not the shining moment, but that's why they play the games. Sometimes that horseshoe up the butt works. 😉 ) 3 Quote

It was odd. But apparently he couldn't stop a puck in practice, either. And rarely made a game-changing save in the lineup. A change of scenery (and Colorado's possession game) sometimes is all you need. But it would be nice to have him as an option now that Ullmark is out. 1 Quote

Dark could be onto something that he's running on empty. He faced a ton of rubber running w/ the taxi squad and has faced a lot of shots the past few games. Wondering if they'll give him the entire day off tomorrow and have Hauser as the backup. He's done a really nice job given that he's not an NHL goalie and hasn't been in years. But they've been riding him pretty hard and it was bound to catch up. Even an NHL goalie would struggle playing so many games in a row on this condensed schedule. Nothing but respect for what Tokarski has managed to do. 3 Quote
Eleven Posted April 23, 2021 Report Posted April 23, 2021 Just turned on the game. Wish I hadn't. Quote

A healthy Ullmark is a middle-of-the-pack starting goalie, even on this team. On a good team, Ullmark is a very solid NHL goalie. 1 1 Quote

Seems strange to give up on UPL in favor of a guy whose highest level of achievement has been college backup. Goalies are weird and they take time. IPL just turned 22 last month and has only 25 AHL games. His future is far from decided. 1 Quote

Claude Balls Posted April 23, 2021 Report Posted April 23, 2021 Difference in this game.....goaltending. Sorry Dustin, but your time has come to an end. Now go home and let your hot ass wife give you some sympathy sex. Quote

Find him a solid partner and the Sabres could have a goalie combo like Don Edwards and Bob Sauve. Quote

DarthEbriate Posted April 23, 2021 Report Posted April 23, 2021 Goaltending is the difference in this game (and yeah, the powerplay, too). But tonight they've gotten the saves and we have not. Not to say there aren't a lot of other things we'd like to see (grit, shoot the puck, etc.), but the goaltending is night-and-day difference in this one. 1 Quote
