When do the Sabres lose patience with UPL as the future goalie?
- GilPerreault11


It’s already started. He’s done literally nothing to say. “Hey I’m a starting nhl goalie”

I have little to no interest in Ristolainen anymore

I will undoubtedly find it funny when a select few who routinely defended him all the sudden start blaming the defense now that he’s not on the ice for 25-30 minutes a game.

I see you are nervous about the loss of Risto and trying to negate how the D will look without him by all your postings so far. I haven't posted about him except for this and some comments about his play in Philly after he was attacked by his attackers. Why don't you just let him go he is living in your head rent-free.

I said absolutely nothing that night about it because I’m fully aware he’s going to continue to be bad

And for the record Philly writers were trashing his play in that game

@charlieo_conn

Sanheim with Braun is the duo for the first PK opportunity. Personally, I like that better for the penalty kill than Sanheim-Ristolainen.

Sorta a microcosm there of the potential concerns of the Sanheim-Ristolainen pair. Sanheim loses a puck battle, Ristolainen chases the play and leaves Marchand open. It's PK work but still shows weaknesses of both players (Sanheim: physicality; Risto: d-zone overaggressiveness).

I could not care less what Philly’s #4 D man accomplished in a preseason game

I like both black and green and I can have both on a pizza but I usually put black if I do. There is a Tex Mex place on Hertle that puts green olives in Burritos which are good.

It's the little stuff like broadcasting the away feed for the first two games that bothers me. First chance fans get to see the team and they're listening to the BJs announcers take a huge steaming dump on the team.

The Pegulas should be ashamed, but they've shown nothing close to remorse or apology for what they've done. And make no mistake, they did it, directly or indirectly.

The big stuff is worse. The little stuff is just unnecessary

It wasn't the media who released this and have you dry humped a women other than your wife, of course, while your wife was somewhere else?
- GilPerreault11

Typical reply from you, and in here.

Grow up.

It's the media that is now piling on with agenda and trying to bury the man.

What part of move on don't you comprehend?
- Stripes77

I see what's happening here.
I'm not surprised.
By the way, I'm pretty sure that you KNOW that I posted that particular post before your "move on" post.

But "no worries" to his attempt at an infantile insult towards me and my wife that has absolutely nothing to do with it?

Yeah, you're impartial.
🤦🏻

not sure how anyone can defend him

- homiedclown

Do you know him personally?
Know this;
I'd defend you in the same way.
I defend the defenseless.
He's not here to defend himself.

He's deeply remorseful about it.
I've seen his quotes afterwards.
Again, we are all imperfect.

The difference today is that the heathens in the media are so quick to try and bury another human being for their imperfection.
And they enjoy it too.
It's sick and disgusting.

They love attacking others until the attack is turned around upon them.
Then they finally get it.

I feel for Urban, I do.
He is at the mercy of the heathens in the media that have far too much power.

Leaves Florida, Ohio State, doesn’t make it 5 weeks in the NFL without another conspiracy.

He’s remorseful though.

He is making over $60M on a 6 year deal.

When you are in a position to represent someone’s brand, you take the plane home and don’t put yourself in bad situations.

I think Granato said earlier today that Mitts and Girgs are "for sure" locked in at centre for this season. Obviously they are concerned about putting too much pressure on Cozens but I guess we will see where he ends up.

Our centre depth stinks with Too Tall Tage lines up at centre in an exhibition game. I guess they might go with R2D2 and probably Asplund in at centre to round it out. However, if they roll out Eakins as one of the centres, then you know this is a blatant tank year.

Man, they really should have drafted one of Rossi or Perfetti last year. No dig at Quinn because it's not his fault the Sabres drafted him but the poor bugger's career is always going to be compared against both of them. Hope he pans out as a 30 goal winger.
