Too bad they're like 28th in goals against.

Their offence is entirely rush based for the most part.

The offence comes at expense of the defence

That's why Jersey looked so good against them. They're so disciplined. Thankfully only Jersey and Boston can do that. They're going to start boatracing more teams if they stay healthy.

Yeah, there are certain teams in the league you won’t be able to boat race, Jersey and Boston are two of them.

They will have to adapt at some point but when you lead the league in goals, you can get away with that type of play if you have a goalie that can make up for the lack of defence so to speak.

Agreed. You don't break what you do well. Keep doing it well, and get better at the other stuff.

Edit: add Carolina to that list.

Anderson in net tomorrow. If Vegas doesn't have us a favorite make them pay.

What's the consensus on how many games should < top 5 draft picks be given before they are written off?

Entirely situation based. There is no answer to this question.

For example, this year our goaltending is sinking us. We don't have the luxury to evaluate UPL up here without him sinking us, yet here we are. He's obviously not ready for NHL forwards.

And, no matter what the actual number is, Eric Comrie has had more than enough time. He's been waived multiple times for a reason I think.

6k could be worse

give him a few more starts

Sure, in the minors, where he belongs. But, since we don't have another option he's going to get plenty more before we get Comrie back. Here's to hoping. I've got a bottle of Proseco in the fridge waiting for someone to pitch a shutout.

bump. feel the Bern.

That is somewhat true. but we had the same kind of Offense in 2005-2007, we just had a much better goalie.

- Hank Balling

JFC, UPL cant get any worse (I Pray) 3.98 GAA & .859 SP. I seriously believe that a cardboard cut-out of Hasek with holes on the top and bottom in net would put up better numbers then UPL.

He is NOT the Answer, just Like Mittle-Shat and VO they all need to find a new career path..

stops 34 of 36 vs the blues pp goal allowed and a goal in the last 70 seconds, again another game we were never in danger of losing

Short answer is NO, b/c you could see how good Ryan Miller was going to be. He started his first 15 games with a 2.63 GAA & .902 SP with 1 SO. UPL is so much worse...

because he lost on the road to the leafs, and at home to the 2 teams that played for the cup last season while our pk sh!t the bed

got it

anderson got 6 cupcake teams on his 9 starts, 6k got 2 on his 6 starts
maybe the vet should be playing vs tampa, colorado and toronto


side note, we blew out columbus last night and 6k didn't cry after any of his starts

You do realize that Winnipeg is tied the lead in their division, right?

He's on a pitch count. That's not an excuse for the Sabres because they chose to employ a 41 year old, but they at least realize if they push Anderson too hard, it's gonna be Subban and UPL in Buffalo and ain't nobody got time for that

They also had the luxury of a 28-year-old Marty Biron. If things went badly for Miller, Biron could play 5 in a row no problem

Like I said, he's going to get plenty more starts before Comrie is back in the lineup. He can feel free to fix his broken glove arm at any time.
