Over an 82-game season having two decent goalies could be a major advantage worth half a dozen points in standings

Or else what?

It's not like UPL has played poorly. Not his fault that no forward scored on Kuemper.

It's his fault that he didn't score himself.

doesnt matter. Just get the win or at least outplay your opponent.

While UPL has not been the problem, he also has not outplayed his opposing goalie in his 2 starts, whereas Levi has

The Sabres have been shit in their own end for three plus years...during the time they were actually trying to be a good team again (minus a few decent stretches). Inexperience, lack of commitment, lack of awareness/positioning/stickwork, lack of physicality and engagement. Lack of urgency by KA to do a damn thing about it. So glad Levi can get caved on less starts than he should be getting in Rochester, while UPL gets less starts than he should be getting with Buffalo. Maybe it's good for their mental health though...

John Gibson back on the ice for practice today. I wonder if they will carry three goaltenders for a while.

Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy, and Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln.

What are the odds?

Neither had good goaltending stats. Although both of them stopped shots.

Adams really can’t help himself trying to force Levi onto the NHL roster. He did it last season and again this one. Let him develop normally and he will figure it out and force his way into the conversation.

It’s got to be annoying for UPL who did actually earn his way to the #1 starter job and a contract. Only to have Levi handed a spot as his equal this season as part of a goalie partnership.

Adams stubbornness on this also costs the organization a good #3 and gave the Amerks subpar goaltending.
