I'd love to torch upl but i cant. levi maybe makes one more save, but that was gross defense.

Well Benson has certainly earned his stay here

Clifton did not look good but its his first game i will concede. Still not a #4 never has been and probably never will be

There is no reason for olofsson to be on this team its not even mismanagement at this point its an abomination

Upl needs to be waived or traded its just going to be more of the same with him. High danger chances whatever, he flops around makes himself small. Again something management should have addressed but didn't. If they carry 3 goalies into the season im going to pull my hair out

It appears that alot of the issues the team had last year they will have again this year, not hard to imagine when you basically run it back

Levi needs to be the savior

- ieetbred


Team save percentage last year was .890 I think if he can drag them to like .897 that should get them in?

Or……. Improve the D. But still lose UPL. I really think Levi Comrie is a decent combo with quality D

he survived carter hutton

he is teflon

- homiedclown


Say what you want about Carter Hutton but every goalie in net since him has been labeled a saviour and we are no further ahead. UPL for one can only dream he could have the same career numbers as Hutton and who knows where Levi may end up. I think I said it before, if the Sabres had Hutton and Ullmark as their goalies now I'd feel a lot more confident that a playoff game would take place this year.

2 number 1 picks overall

first round picks in joker, johnson

samuelsson picked 32nd overall



maybe they should have brought in some new assistant coaches

I hope so. I also wonder how many games it needs to be. At this rate it looks like 60

carter had brutal vision that one season and the goalie coach had no clue what was going on

that was why I used the hutton reference

If they refuse to play defense they need difference makers in net.

Otherwise they will need to score 4+ when he is in net to win again

The answer

Joker.. I guess he is better than the utter failure of Alexander.
Lybuschcan.. fail
Stillman.. fail
Clifton.. we shall see
Erik Johnson.. I don’t think we even need to see.
Bryson.. that contract was solid

Unfortunately yes. Not surprising when they run it back with a couple of 5/6/7 dmen as their additions

Well luukkonen gave them 33 games at 892. and Comrie 19 at 886. I have to believe comrie's will be better this year but assuming its not, thats a combined 889 over 52 games.

If they maintain those percentages at 41 games and levi gives you 41 at 903 that gives the team an 896.

Obviously just back of envelope stuff but shows that even in the not best case scenario Levi doesn't need to go savior mode, just hover around slightly below league average.

That is admittedly without factoring what happens offensively/defensively.

Stop trying to make UPL happen, Gretchen. It’s never going to happen.

They were .896 last year. .890 includes empty nets.

Need Levi (or UPL/Comrie) to be close to Anderson's .908. Have to assume it's going to take more than 91 points this year.
