Biggest game of UPL's NHL career tonight. Could go a long way to solidifying the #1 starter spot.

#1 on this team with this group of goalies is AHL player on most playoff teams. Lets tone it down a touch and just say that a very good game could go along way to solidifying him as a viable NHL backup. If they go into next year with UPL and Comrie they will be handcuffing the team unnecessarily. They have got to get a real starter with 2-3 years term. Hell, get the right one on 6 years term. Stop waiting on the hope of prospects. Get a F'in blue chip.

Interesting tidbit from Friedman's column today - 32 Thoughts: Wrapping up the NHL trade deadline

3. We’ll get back to the NHL in a minute, but wanted to recognize 20-year-old Chase Coward of WHL Red Deer. Coward is scheduled to start for the Rebels Wednesday night against Lethbridge. Last summer, Coward, not drafted by an NHL team, was invited to the Canadian World Junior Team’s summer camp, and also to Buffalo’s development camp. However, he failed his physical due to hip injuries, although the Sabres kindly allowed him to stay.

In August, Rebels uberboss Brent Sutter announced Coward “underwent testing and discovered a congenital defect to his lower body. At this time Chase has decided he will not attend training camp or be a part of the Rebels roster to start the season, and we support him as he navigates through the process.” There was concern Coward’s hockey career was over at waaaaaaaaaay too young an age. As I write this, I’m not 100 per cent sure of the procedures he went through, but it was a gruelling process and recovery against big odds. Wishing Chase good luck as he returns to action.

It reminds me of a situation going on with the son of one of my beer league teammates that was coached by another teammate.

The kid was not skating hard at times this season and his coach and his dad were on him not to dog it. The kid said his leg hurt. It turns out he has a congenital defect with his right femur that is causing all sorts of issues. They are taking him to a specialist in NYC for some procedure where they need to shave the bone down and maybe do microfracture surgery to stimulate regrowth of the dead bone.

His dad and coach feel so bad for yelling at him after finding that out.

We’re done with this, right? There can’t be anyone left willing to go into next season with UPL and Comrie…right? Even Adams has to know

Better question.…why did they carry three for so long when you can get another Comrie level player on the scrap heap. Where they found this one.

Yeah, not being in on that Korpisalo/Gavrikov deal really grinds my gears. Just totally reckless to go into the end of the season with Anderson/Comrie/UPL.

Plus the deal has the added benefit of getting us Gavrikov to round out our top 4. Plus both players are young enough to be worth re-signing. Plus we have all the cap space in the world to re-sign them. Etc, etc

I really liked Linus Soderstrom and thought he would be an NHL goalie. His stats look great in the SHL this season and he is a free agent. One year one-way deal, worst case you waive him?

Comrie has no business being paid an NHL salary. Anderson doesn't either considering he can barely play because of his severely advanced age.

Get at least one real ****ing average NHL goaltender next year.

But, also recognize that their system, a lot of the d-men, and a lot of the forwards are either bad in their own end or cheat for offense. They do these guys no favors

I would play Comrie next game. The team owes him to perform and he needs to step up as well.

If he doesn't I think it's time for him to play in Rochester, Subban can get some games with the Sabres if UPL continues to struggle.

Then we invest in serious goaltending or fire Adams and co. into the sun.

Hate to break it to people, but it's Granato, not the goalies.

Granato is an absolute terrible coach.
