Let's just hope he can end his 6 game goaless streak.
Simply can't have him going on a long streak just before the trade dealine.

He saved a goal last night with a smart and tenacious backcheck. It was a layup if he wasnt there.

And a playoff push

A win Tuesday guarantees the Sabres will be playing meaningful games in March. Yesterdays win on top of losses for every team we needed to lose was clutch.

The Sabres control their own destiny right now which is all you can ask for.

It's going to be a wild affair in there Tuesday night.

Gotta root for the Isles IMO. If Pit loses, that makes 2 WC spots 100% live for us.

A wise poster on here, I don’t remember who it was, once said his dad would say when in a playoff race, you root for the team directly above you to lose. I’ve generally subscribed to this line of thinking since I read the take a few years ago.

This sounds crazy, but maybe it would be best for the Isles to win in OT. This would keep both WC spots alive for Sabres like you mentioned and doesn’t give the Isles another RW.

Still have a long row to hoe, but we haven’t had this much fun this late in a Sabres season in a long time.

UPDATE ON THE BLUE JACKETS

SPORTSNET: Jeff Marek suggested the Columbus Blue Jackets’ Joonas Korpisalo could be an option for playoff contenders seeking goaltending depth. His adjusted save percentage going back to early December of 1.9 percent saves above expected, putting him above netminders like the New York Islanders’ Ilya Sorokin, the Dallas Stars’ Jake Oettinger and the New York Rangers’ Igor Shesterkin. Korpisalo carries a $1.3 million cap hit on an expiring contract.

He had a big win against Dallas yesterday. He's gonna help someone out. I wouldn't be shocked if he came to the Eastern Conference too because it's not hard enough here.

Easily the best Sabres season since the Roy, Connolly era. And, really after Vanek left it was like being dead at times.

Was he the best 28 last night? Z finally hit someone again last night. He's clearly reading the posts too.

but, yeah, he still looks like a great winger.

He didn’t look like a 9 million dollar player

been skating with the team for a few weeks
- homiedclown

Show my the fancy stats. Lol

He actually might be a solid addition.

Also, bring me the bjustead.

Oh look, another UPL win where the team didn't score 6 goals and he made all of the big saves that he needed to in the game. Nothing to see here.

It's not about whether he can make big saves. We all know he can. It's will he let in two dogs or not. Last night zero bad goals and we win.

- Sabretooth9

Only about 2 dozen players look like 9mil players on a nightly basis. We have 2. Even though Thompson is trying to do a little much lately.

UPL had a good game.

UPL in general has a long long way to go with his game.

Scandella has been out all year due to his injury.

He also has another season after this left on his deal.

Fair point. It was just 1 game also.

Not really, he is pretty sound he just needs to make one extra save that he doesn't.

I am not sure where you see he has a long ways to go.

You mean 10 million? Thats his qualifying offer.

No way Buffalo pays that.

- sabresfan69

Pretty sound?

He is pretty below average at his angles

He isn’t great at reading the play

And weak glove hand

Also at times for being 6’5 looks small in net

- sabresfan69

I agree with you. I think we all agree on that here
