When you can't cash your chances against a great team you're going to find yourself on the losing end. 3 PPs zero goals. 27 shots, zero goals. Bruins 19 shots, 2 goals.

We cannot beat great teams when we play at a severe disadvantage in net every single game.

That will be the question of the off-season.

What does Adam’s do in net… that will probably signal if it bed man or bust. Or let’s go play some hockey….

Really would have helped to see UPL for another 10-15 games.

I am already penciling Upl in. But I need someone to split with him. Keumpher type.

He's a big part of the team, but they really don't know what they have. I don't think they view him as a backup.

(frank)ing ludacris to view him as anyone other than an oft injured rookie. Guy's had a cup of coffee in the league and got hurt.

Nice to see we've totally given up. Haven't pulled one of those in a few weeks.

Is a minor injury this year really a big concern?

Like I said, seeing him for another 10-15 NHL games would have been valuable.

The fact he couldn't take this job over this year - when the Buffalo Sabres have had the worst goaltending of all 32 NHL teams - is far more than concerning. There is nothing, nothing about him that says #1 NHL goalie. If Levi had already committed to the Sabres, I would be confident he would jump UPL before training camp was over.

Seems like the economical efficient way.

Unless they spend a lil cap space on the ???

I dont really want to spend draft capital on a goalie. Rather just over pay a free agent for a couple few years.

Of course there is Adam’s supposed stiffy for Gibson.

It will be the compelling moment of the off-season

UPL's numbers are easily their best this year, and they never gave him another look. That's not on him.

Also wouldn't say they were 32nd.

The only team you could argue is Philly.

Seattle, NJ, Montreal, Detroit, Chicago, Arizona all have worse save %. Guess you could dig deeper, but Seattle is really terrible.

Oh no doubt!!! 4000% upgrade! But what’s the cost to get him. That would be my concern. I know you gotta give to get. And i am not sure how much I wanna give…

How much of that though is leaving the ice after the 2nd period with 27 - 19 shot advantage and a 2 - 0 deficit?

5 - 0. It wouldn't be Sabre goaltending without 5 goals in the net. They didn't even come out of the locker room for the 3rd.
