Subban should play tomorrow. UPL made some big saves but the goals he let in were not that great. Let's not elevate him to messiah status just yet and give the kid a rest to regroup and come back solid rather than burning him out.  

Stop talking sense and disrupting our fantasies!

People should really look at what Lidstrom and Hedman were doing at 21.

Actually Lidstrom at 21 was AMAZING.  We were living in Detroit when he came up and he knocked everyone's socks off.

[Randall Flagg]

Each of the last two years, Kevyn Adams has found a bottom six forward for cheap (Sheahan and Hinostroza) that is clearly better than any bottom six forward brought in by Tim or Jason in their combined 6 years.

They're no longer easy to play against. Look unified. ..Granato gets it. He's a smart man and coach. ..... Future bright.. gotta wear shades.

Whoa.

Is this really happening?

UPL was solid as a freaking rock again (I know those 2 goals leaked through, but the 1st one was a wicked 1-timer off a cross-ice pass and the 2nd one was by an elite NHL scorer who was allowed to stroll into the circle and pick his spot).  He was calm, controlled, anticipated well, used his size well and made great saves in OT and the SO.

I think he is giving the team a major confidence boost.  

And I think he might be the one.

 

 

You been hitting on that hopium pipe, haven't you?? Be careful, it'll get you.

Sorry but those were soft goals, but he was very solid again and was perfect in the shoot out

The bottom line is UPL is giving us decent goaltending.  He gave up a few softies but boy has he made some incredible saves. You can win a lot of games only giving up 2. KA has a dilemma on his hands if this keeps up.  

[Doohicksie]

OOPIE.

That's what Tage calls UPL.

Work hard ✅

Develop the kids ✅

Entertain me ✅

And nice of them to add a win as well 🍺

[K-9]

To come from behind twice to get the W, in that barn, against that team really made it a highly satisfying, quality win. 

[spndnchz]

Yup!

[nucci]

Who knew good  goaltending would make such a difference?

Yes, good entertainment on the ice.  Observations:

TT is getting so many good chances, his luck will change and he'll get on a nice scoring run.

At one point, I reflected on Donnie G's comments from the other night, that Dhalin will get to a point where the good things he does will outweigh the bad (or something like that).  There was a "WTF is he doing?" moment when he put a pass between his legs from behind his own net and only UPL prevented a score.  Despite that, it seemed he had another really strong game.

I admit, I thought MInny would win in OT, especially when it got to a shootout.  Good for UPL getting the W.

I'm wondering if between the Sabres and Amerks, there's only one stopper to plug two holes?  I hope those young'uns don't lose confidence.

@Thorny had better have been with the team on that plane to Pittsburgh.

He definitely is the lucky charm right now.

2 games and 2 wins.

Tuch will help.  He plays hard.  

Does that get in the way of stick handling?

I was.

Currently perusing the Andy Warhol museum in anticipation of the next game. Opposing fans are starting to hear tell of my unwanted presence in their cities
