What if UPL wears some of Haseks old gear...will he play like the dominator?

I've been doing some research and saw this worked with massive upside in the NBA:

Yet Devon Levi and Craig Anderson playing with the same rag tag group as y’all call them severely outperformed UPL.

Please discuss.

Yet the post before this you said "9 game sample size isn't great". Levi had a 7 game sample.

Based on Ullmark getting hurt and Boston being bounced out of the first round, perhaps the last line there is not totally accurate.

Doesn't matter how. SABRES 89 wants him gone. Restructure his contract and then trade him, if that's what it takes.

good morning d!ckhead

Yes a 7 game sample size isn’t enough. It’s why I don’t want to rely on Levi to be good.

There is no denying both Anderson and Levi outperformed UPL last year.

And theres no denying UPL outplayed Anderson the year before. These things happen with young goalies.

Well Taco I have been married 20yrs and been with my Wife for 30yrs. If there wasn't some fluffing going on those numbers would not have been reached!!🙂🙂

and blah D

Imagine having a .917 goalie... thinking hes not that good...getting rid of him and then a few years later are praying for league average

Thats the fans here.

Thats what happens when you get rid of a goalie that "floats with their team".

So we should just ride with UPL and Levi next year in a make or break year?

Hope that UPL doesn’t put up bottom of the league numbers again?

Also I assume that means Comrie will also be good if we just get the other parts corrected.

Then by all means keep trotting him out there.

If he proves he's nothing, you can move on then, but you'll have catered most of the value you'd get in a trade if you made the decision faster, and you may have (frank)ed up your team's chances during more than one season.

The above is what can happen when you wait too long.

Good thing the Sabres kept trotting too tall super sniper tage and middle - fat- snicker doodles.

There's 2 sides to the fence in regards to prospects. Some take longer to develop.

Especially goalies.....

That post was towards you dummies not liking Ullmark back in the day. And now are praying for a goalie to put up league average #'s. We had a top goalie in the league but you guys couldn't see it.

UPL is far better than you guys give him credit for. Hes young. He's inconsistent. If he can find that consistency I believe he could be a good goalie in this league.

I've also stated just last week it would be a bad idea to role those 2 out there this year if the goal is the playoffs which I hope it is.

Only the fans have the make or break mindset going into next season.

Adams has 0 pressure to rush

He is consistently bad, but finds a nut every so often.

Ullmark was relatively good the whole time he was here.

UPL couldn’t even put up a .900 Sv% in the AHL.

You think that Ullmark puts the same numbers up that he did in Boston with the Sabres? I bet he would be over 3 GAA and a .905 SP on last years Sabres team.

He had his stretches. He also played 25 of 32 against playoff teams.

Where Anderson only played 10 of 24 against playoff teams.

on the team last year

around 2.9 - 3.1 GAA

.898-.903 save percentage


people forget how bad half of our roster was 5 on 5 in their own end, and on pk

Yes, yes I do. Because he did.... On worse teams.
