1:45 or so of PP to start the period. We gotta find Tage here two or three times. If they get saved they get saved, but he's got to get the looks.

UPLs positioning was off. UPLs positioning in pass acrosses in general is pretty bad. He makes himself look small
- Sabretooth9

How was it off, he was against the post, the pass came from below the goal line

That 2nd goal, Dahlin or Samuelsson skated right in front of UPL as that pass came out, don't know if that screwed up his sight just enough to throw his slide off.
- Buff36


Thought it was Power and Jokiharju on the ice for the 2nd goal, and it didn't look like anybody screened him.

6K comes way out of the net. Those ones that dribble through him are dangerous.

2 goals - UPLs fault

3rd goal was not

- Sabretooth9



The difference between a legit starter and a fringe starter/back up is not simply was it his fault or not.


Saros has made a ton of saves where if they had gone in, it wouldn't have been his fault. But then the score would be 7-3.

"TROLL"

(performed by Beady)

(feat. homiedclown and others)

[Beady Eyed Douche:]

I am so high, I can hear fitz
I am so high, I can hear fitz
Whoa, but fitz, no, fitz don't hear me

[Beady & Homie:]

And they say that a “TROLL” could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold on to the sheath of the sabres
Watch as we all “TROLL” away

Someone told me Hank would all save us
But how can that be? Look what Hank gave us
A blog full of killing and blood spilling
That blog never came…

And they say that Stripes could have saved us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold on to the sheath of the sabres
Watch as we all “TROLL” away
(Ah-ah)

Now that the blog isn't ending
It's blogs that I'm sending to you
It isn't the love of a hero
And that's why I fear it won't do

And they say that a press pass could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold on to the sheaths of the sabres
Watch as we all TROLL away

And they're TROLLING us (TROLLING us)
They're TROLLING us (TROLLING us)
As we all “TROLL” away
And they're TROLLING us (TROLLING us)
They're TROLLING us (TROLLING us)
As we all TROLL away
And they're TROLLING us (TROLLING us)
They're TROLLING us (TROLLING us)
As we all TROLL away
Whoa

I am so high, I can hear Eklund
I am so high, I can hear Eklund
Whoa, but Eklund , no, Eklund don't hear me

[Stripes & 3ER & SABRES89 & sbraods24:]
And they say that run and stop the run could save us
I'm not gonna throw the ball
I'll hold on to the ball and just run
Watch as we run and stop the run

Someone told me the run game would all save us
But how can that be? Look what Singletary gave us
A world full of fumbling and bumbling
That run game never came

And they say that Beady could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold on to the sheath of a sabre
Watch as we all “TROLL” away
(Ah-ah)

Now that the blog isn't ending
It's trolls that I'm sending to you
It isn't the troll of a hero
And that's why I fear it won't do

And they say that a TROLL could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and “troll”
I'll hold on to the bans of the best trolls
Watch as we all troll away

And they're TROLLING us (TROLLING us)
They're TROLLING us (TROLLING us)
As we all “troll” away
And they're TROLLING us (TROLLING us)
They're TROLLING us (TROLLING us)
As we all “troll” away
And they're TROLLING us (TROLLING us)
They're TROLLING us (TROLLING us)

Comparing any goalie to Saros or Hellebuyck is a tough task.

There are like 7 goalies in the league that matter and those are 2 of them, being mad the Sabres don’t have one is wasted energy

No there was no screen out front, as UPL is against the post just before the puck comes out from below the goal line and as UPL is about to push of to slide out a Sabre skates in front of UPL in the crease trying to block the pass. Was that enough to throw his slide out front off. All I saw was a 2 on the Sabres Jersey that's why I thought it might be Samuelsson or Dahlin.

Im mostly just making the point that, a starter is expected to do more than just stop that shots that would be his fault if they went in.

Why on earth did granato sit Quinn and JJ over asplund and hino

I don’t care if both of those players are running in empty.

Never ever sit them


And tonight’s post game from granato. “Good thing we sat them”
