Krebs.

Nice hit on the Linesman.

Keep your head up, son

His head was up and looking toward where he was going to shoot/pass. The ***** lineman just stood there waiting for Krebs to run into him

What can they do with UPL? No one is gonna take on a $4.75 million contract in a trade 

you'd almost have to do UPL and a first round pick for a 3rd to get rid of him and his contract

Right.   They just signed him to a 5 year contract.  

Yep.

You assume every shot that goes in is his fault.

You sir are the commander and chief of excuses! 🤣

terrible. This team is the pinnacle of Adams achievements as GM.

No you won't.

Agreed. Players know what should and should not be saved. When your goalie lets in 4 he should save, it must get pretty demoralizing.

We've all played sports and know how it feels when your goaltender doesn't give you a chance to win 

that being said, the whole team pretty well stunk today, so I don't want to completely let them off the hook 

[HumanSlinky39]

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.

That’s when we moved into a playoff spot too.  After that was the Dahlin injury and the 13 games of hell.  

Yup. The 1-0 loss to then red-hot Minnesota was the first game of the streak. Reimer lost a game early in the streak allowing only 2 goals (in his second game since being reclaimed off waivers), then the Colorado farce, and that was that.

Shortly after, Colorado replaced both of their goalies. Meanwhile, the Sabres waived Reimer to start the season for no reason, and then Ruff rode UPL as if he were Hasek or Miller.

He was bad today. 4 stinkers at least. Not that we played well in front of him  I agree he's mentally done. Let Reimer finish.

They still have an OT loss to give in their back pocket 

[Flashsabre]

UPL has not been great this year but I’m not pinning today on him he has had zero support defensively 

[Crusader1969]

In Levi we Trust I guess 

Hopefully he dominates in the playoffs and carries over to the NHL next season

And when that's the case, it's helpful to not get outshot 32-21.

Excuses or explanations you don't want to hear?

He didn't make 1 save.  Not one. What did his expected goals against end up as ?

I slept through the last two periods but Moneypuck says UPL had just under 3 expected goals against, yet he let in 7.

7 goals against, can't blame them all on the defense.

UPL stunk and the defense stunk, both can be true.

Yea, so he's been bad most of the season. 

83% bad.

And he's been given 50+ starts anyway.

[Mr Peabody]

Puck management issues sounds way too soft of an explanation.  Just say we got beat to pucks, lost board battles and/or coughed them up under pressure.

Maybe that will happen against the Caps tomorrow 😂

 

i really need Ovi to score 6 goals tomorrow since I’ll be at the game.
