Was unable to watch today, but I heard UPL stunk his way to victory.

I was a huge UPL hater. I don’t know what happened but I hope it’s permanent.

Good win. It’s what playoff teams do. Figure out a way to win when you are being out played. UPL might be our guy.

Bryson needs to go away.

Probably having a nice family dinner with the top3gm and being reassured of his position in the organization, went a long way

Solid win. Don’t care if they didn’t look great.

They’re at .500

Wonder if they consider taking Krebs out. He’s giving them nothing of substance

I get that. But UPLs game is not great.

Angles suck
Hockey iq sucks
Weak glove hand
Plays small (see the 2nd goal)

Feels nice to be on the other end of one of these games for once, lord knows we were due.

5-5 after the first 10 games. Still too small of a sample size to draw major conclusions but items of note:

- Peterka’s breakout campaign off to a good start. Thinking of what Quinn could have done as an encore this year makes me sad.

-Joker looks the part so far, still waiting for the other shoe to drop, but not complaining at all he’s been great.

- Greenway’s impact on the PK and play at 5v5 with Tage so far has been gold. We’ll see how this goes over the final 72 games, but he’s arguably been one of our most consistent forwards to date.

- Cozens started strong, had a rough few games but he’ll snap out of it. Opposite can be said for Tuch, brutal start but humming the last 4 games.

-Mittelstadt and Skinner are a good combo.

-UPL with arguably his two best games of his career the last two starts, hopefully the start of something here and not just a blind squirrel finding a couple of nuts.

- Erik Johnson sucks at 5v5 as expected, but I’ll give him his flowers for propping up the PK so far.

Glaring Weaknesses:

- My 1 and a half year old could draw up a better Power Play. Letting Peca go may rear it’s ugly head eventually.

- Need to find a way to pick up some loser points. Playoff teams find a way to pick up a points no matter what. All 5 losses in regulation has been the kicker so far.

Yep , phenon Friday

Louuuuuuuuuuukkkkk on Saturday

- Boss34

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuk. What an awesome game to go to. Was like a Hasek game and the Sabres scored on every shot. Congrats for being the only other person on 6K’s side. Perfect backup for this team. Keep the pressure on the phenom. He got better as the game went on. Cage was closed.

(frank)in right. It’s a great night to be alive. It’s a great night to not be a total fraud of a Sabres fan.

They looked slow and sluggish and very out of it. Like the Calgary game. But the goalie kept them in it

I think I figured out the Biro call up.

They don’t care if he gets claimed, so they will waive him when they have to bring Savoie up.

Could be wrong, but since he recently passed through waivers as long as he isn’t up on the big club for longer then a cup of coffee he can go back down without needing waivers again.

Brio is the bridge to Savoie. Then what happens after Savoie’s 9 games is where things get interesting

I agree it's temporary, but he already cleared waivers so he's exempt for now. I don't think they have any intention on burning through those game/days.

You and Lun are correct, I am wrong.

It’s interesting and also encouraging they are phasing Olofsson out
