Amen Brother, I think Ullmark belongs in the league but i cant seem him being a long term starting solution.

How often are 20 year old goalies ready for the NHL? How many years of development will Luukkanen need?

Simply put, the response tonight will tell many Sabres fans if this team is indeed different or, if this is the same mentally fragile team from one year ago.

True character is displayed by how one rises after a fall.

If you continue to fall, your character can certainly be questioned.

So if they come out and dominate the Kings and still lose, are you questioning their character?

I only had to read one page back to once again see all of the 'Coaches' in here questioning a real coaches decision to start Ullmark last night.

Most likely I would be questioning the goaltending in that scenario.
Not the decision of coach Kreuger on which goalkeeper to play.

Ullmark was born in 1996

Sometimes the truth requires us to be, like;

God bless you folks that are here every day and that are capable of digesting the same ol' defecation day after day here.

I guess that you could definitely say that I am perfectly fine with being an "bumhole" when it warrants being one.

I think you're taking what people say a bit too seriously to be honest.

People questioned it because the trend around the NHL in general, is to start a goalie in the next game coming off a shutout. The main exception to that could be in a back to back situation because generally coaches these days don't play a goalie two nights in a row unless there's an injury that can force their hand a bit.

I had stated that it seemed odd, but also realized that with the team playing back to back games this week that Hutton would get one and Ullmark the other. I just assumed coming off a shutout Monday that Hutton would get Wednesday and Ullmark would get Thursday.

I never claim to know more than the coach or say I'm smarter than the coach, but logic would say that what we saw yesterday is outside the norm. It didn't work (depending on how you look at it) as they lost. Is it all Ullmark's fault? Most likely not as there were 18 other players on the ice during the 60 mins. So it's likely that Hutton would have suffered the same fate.

Also, using the word you did to describe the people you disagreed with just shows how small minded you are and inappropriate.

Really hate that commercial. First, why did the kid fling his clean underwear on the floor anyway ? And wouldn't it become instantly dirty if it hit the bathroom floor ? Second, why is a bear wearing underwear ? Third, why are they all red ? Fourth, if the kid wears underwear, but wasn't at the time, and nobody else was either, are they nudists ? Lastly, how are they all talking ? Aren't they bears ? For that matter, what are they doing in that house ? Do they own it ? HOW !?!

Ullmark isn't the reason we lost the game last night, could he have been better, sure, he made some nice saves last night too, team defense was horrible last night, he was fantastic his last start. Way to many turnovers. We played soft, need to stop blaming the goaltender, and blame the team
- Buff36


Also, you can't win many games by scoring just 2 goals. While he was shaky, I wouldn't put this loss on Ullmark...our lack of scoring ultimately did us in.

For a fairly religious guy ... you're kind of a jerk.
