GoPuckYourself Posted February 16, 2023 Report Posted February 16, 2023 Just now, Claude Balls said: When was the last time you saw a Sabres defense help out any goalie? I'll hang up and listen. I'm wondering why we're waiting for the trade deadline to get a few defensive defensemen, whether we make the playoffs or not it will be valuable to the younger players to get coached up by some veteran Dmen imo. 1 Quote

Gotta find out if he's got ot or doesn't. I'm leaning doesn't. Watching Levi play in the Bean pot, he can't get here quick enough. He looks like the real deal.

Because if this doesn’t improve they need make other goaltending plans for next season if they want to be a playoff team Agree. UPL and Comrie are our goalies next season, unless they show otherwise this season. Keep playing them and find out if they are worthy. It is what it is right now. Quote
JohninMinn. Posted February 16, 2023 Report Posted February 16, 2023 Comrie stands on his head for an 18 save win. Quote

They outshot them something like 21-7 in the 1st & had been outscoring them 20-5 14 minutes into the game. Ingram had a horseshoe up his butt. Quote

And I can't believe Portillo looks at the current setup and thinks that he'll have a better opportunity elsewhere. He has to believe he can beat out UPL and Comrie. If not, what's the point? Quote

Keep playing them and find out if they are worthy. It is what it is right now. If they are the goalies next season, it will be another non-playoff season. Comrie is a career backup and UPL may be a serviceable AHL goalie, although he seems to play worse in the A. Quote
DarthEbriate Posted February 16, 2023 Report Posted February 16, 2023 No skating on the first two shifts, just flailing and reaching sticks. 1 Quote
Porous Five Hole Posted February 16, 2023 Report Posted February 16, 2023 Comrie’s last start was three weeks ago (Jan 26). Obviously he hasn’t looked great, but that can be rust. UPL has no rust excuse and hasn’t played well in a while. If Comrie shuts the door in the third, he should get another start right away. This is a big period for the squad. Quote
Pimlach Posted February 16, 2023 Report Posted February 16, 2023 Comrie giving up big rebounds and failing to cover up. Meanwhile Sabres swatting with their sticks in effort to help him I guess. Quote

That's the point of running BOTH UPL & Comrie this year so they can figure out if that will be good enough for a year or 2 or if they have to fix it. 1 Quote

Yeah, I'm not sure what Portillo is thinking. I would rather have Levi, as I think he is gonna be special. Maybe Portillo sees the same thing and doesn't wanna be an eventual backup. He would be great trade bait of Levi pans out. Quote
DarthEbriate Posted February 16, 2023 Report Posted February 16, 2023 Can't decide what's more annoying with the Ducks broadcast. The flags that appear over each Sabres' head on the PP or the puck trail. Quote

This is a big period for the squad. If he pitches a shutout this period, would give him the SJ game. Doubt Granato & Bales will agree. 2 Quote

I think we all know the goalie situation has been a problem for quite sometime now. And the answer isn't on the current roster. UPL looked promising for awhile, but even in his wins, he was letting in a lot of goals. Not sure what KA has been watching. Quote

Maybe he'll only be a backup to Levi... but where else he going to go that he won't be a backup first? Here he'd have a great opportunity to stick in the NHL within 2 seasons. 1 Quote

He must not like the organization. He is walking away from a team with no set 1 or 2. Quote
