Well worth the listen if you have any interest in the historic parallels of the current Ukraine war.

I think Jusse is the only goalie I would over pay for. I dont want to but I think this team NEEDS too. They have nothing with the 3 they got now.

Boss and ZiggyBuff would lose their sh!t if we got Gibson
- homiedclown


Strange, I feel like I'm towing the company line.

I like what KA is doing with levi/ upl and Anderson this year. If levi is a true difference maker, I wouldnt block him. Ride this year out and see if upl has any value to this franchise.

This offseason depending on how the chips fall, I would consider gibson.
He's kinda a lot like vaslevsky, well it's been stated anyways.

Let's have some fun 2 guesses on Trades!!!
1- Arizona isn't getting what they want and sitting Chychrun has backfired. Sabres jump back in and grab him.
2- Gibson Max Comtois

probably about 65 percent of the posts pissing on 6k are bs


hell one guy says just stop 9 of 10
then cries when we drop a game 5-1 to canes about goalltending


our d on the bottom half of the roster is bad

samuelsson has been bad at times

our wingers are looking more to flip the script and score than paying d in our own end

our pk sucks




again if comrie was decent, 6 k would not have our best goaltending record


the coach sees these guys in practice all the time and there is a reason 6k is getting most of the starts

- homiedclown

The goaltending is an issue but imo it's not THE issue. Yes, an elite goalie would be awesome and would be better than any of the 3 we have and it would be incredible to have that. But we don't have that and most teams don't. The defense, and not just the bottom half, has been not great. Team defense is not great.

It's very easy to look at the goalie and say "he's the issue, get rid of him and bring in goalie x and we'll be better" but then you get goalie x and surprise, he's not all that better. Teams like Boston go and get Linus Ullmark and play defense in front of him and all of a sudden he's a Vezina candidate.

If there's a chance to upgrade in goal they should absolutely do it. But I'm not going to rip the goalies especially in games where the entire team sucks, a la Toronto, Carolina.

I personally don't like holding the door for Levi, if you're good enough you open the door yourself. That said, since he's a college boy we have to bend for him a bit. It is what it is, unfortunate quirk of the NCAA/NHL setup.

All that said, I think once he signs and loses some of that leverage we go for a guy in the off-season. Levi likely goes to the AHL at least part of the year next year and UPL/Comrie are both free agents after next season. You could ride both of them next year but I think Adams makes that move to bring someone else in instead

I always say until he makes it necessary and out plays every goalie then he can wait his turn.

Exactly, the only reason UPL is starting so much is Anderson can't and Comrie blows.

The only thing we know about Levi is he dominates college kids. We knew that last year, did we not? I guess we also know he doesn't have the heart of Pat Roy, but then again who does? I'm sure Northeaster University is a life changing experience and all, but I'll never pretend I respect someone who ducks competition in the name of development.

How do you know it was his decision to go back, and not one mutually made with Buffalo management and him. Not because he’s afraid of competing for a spot, but possibly because maybe education is important to him and another year without the rigors of being a pro would help him achieve other life goals? And who exactly is he ducking? The same guys (outside of Andy) will be here, and one would think another year improved. Bad take.

Don't think Levi ducked anything. His Freshman year was thrown out of wack because of Broken Ribs and Covid. Nothing wrong with his decision. Portillo on the other Hand!!

How did he develop at all this year? He dominated college kids... again. What more do we know about him this year we didn't already know at this time last year? I think I've learned he doesn't have the heart of an all time great. That's ok 98% of guys don't.

Honestly, don't give me the education bit. It's a farcical argument.
