Five game losing streak heading into the deadline where they will also lose before heading to another loser off-season headed by a loser GM
GDT: Buffalo @ Tampa Bay 7pm Radio : WGR550 TV: ESPN

another game lost by UPL
We need to face reality. He has been utter dog shit this year. Mr .892. He is playing only very marginally better than Aaron f***ing Dell did
He has not been an NHL caliber goalie this year. Not even close

Your Buffalo Sabres- snatching defeat from the jaws of victory for 15 seasons.
I've seen that Power out of position play before - it was Casey Fitzgerald getting totally lost positionally and then being slow back to the front of his own net. And Henri Jokiharju often enough. It's a feature of whatever Wilford is teaching, not a bug.

Calling it now, second double digit losing streak of the season incoming.

hands down the biggest negative on this team. Numbers don't lie.
wait, this game was all UPL's fault? We were watching the same incredible D play all night?

hard to believe this is the same goalie who had a .910 last year
If he played at that level, this team would be close to the playoffs. 18 points lower on the SP will kill any team and make them look worse than they are
I thought Tampa was the better team tonight. While UPL was bad, Vasi was even worse.
Replace each goalie with an average performance it's probably a 3-2 or 4-3 Tampa win.
yeah, it was. This is the NHL. An NHL goalie is required to do more than not allow a softie. Vasy did that in the third
You know a goalie who makes only the saves he should? Comweasal

Remeber, this is the roster Adams would go to war with.Calling it now, second double digit losing streak of the season incoming.
Think Iraqi army during operation Desert Storm.

Nah, knowing the Sabres' luck, they'll pick like 6th after two teams with lower odds move up.

Buffalo out shot them. Typical inconsistent play by UPL. 6 goals on 26 shots? you're not going to win
funny, Comweasel is a good goalie again this year, almost like the D structure in front of them matters.
But, yea UPL could be better, but as I always say, most of these guys might as well have GOALIE printed on the backs of their sweaters unless your Top 5. Theyre interchangeable if behind a good team, put UPL on Carolina, I bet Mr .915 is back. He's broken, I've been saying it for 2 months, odd man, back post, blown coverage, it will wear on a guy.

UPL is a guy. If the defense tightens up he’ll look fine, but he’s not a hero of the future

Nobody outside of the top-4 would go top-10 in any of the recent drafts IMO.
Also, in the too many years that he's been here, what the f*** has Mike Bales accomplished that is a net positive?

I think that's overstating things. Just my opinion, but I don't believe the 2022 and 2024 drafts were all that strong.
