Watching is one thing, but have you ever tried to listen to him call a game on the radio only? He literally can’t describe the play by play action on the ice and doesn’t even try. His TV audience can at least fill in the blanks visually, but the radio audience is completely lost.
It’s 2024. Why are you watching hockey on a radio?

Danny Briere talked about Tage being immediately dropped from his line on his show. He conjectured that the issue probably wasn't just about this game but also related to how players practiced. The game plan against this hot Seattle team that plays a very tough and structured/disciplined game was to play a more patient and simplified game. The coach didn't want his team to get frustrated and respond with over handling the puck against this defensively oriented team. When Tage over handled the puck and got caught up in the trap in his first couple of shifts, the coach quickly jerked him off the top line and relegated him to a lower line. The message was not only being sent to Tage (one of our best players) but it was also being sent to all the players that deviating from the game plan and from what the coach was instructing wasn't going to be tolerated.
Supposedly, in practice Tage was back with the top line. I have no problem with how the HC handled the situation in last night's game.
Oh, wow.

101.6. QB rating; 30 of 38; 350 yards 2TDs, 2 Int, 1 fumble
67 yards running with countless runs for first downs, clutch passes, big plays.
Our defense was great, special teams scored, but Allen was the will to win
Two interceptions in the red zone - without those, he wouldn’t have had to work so hard.
Without that play by Harty, they probably don’t win this game.

2 TDs and 2 INTs - seems pretty balanced.

Many of the shots we from far away, from the places that rarely get you a goal.
And what is the point of doing that? Who is teaching them or telling them to do that?
-
I care so little at this point, that I didn’t even know the Sabres had a game going on.
Tuned in to see they had their goalie pulled with 6 minutes left, and 1 goal on 45 shots against a goalie 56th in the league in save percentage.
This team is a joke. And nobody is going to make any changes.

Doesn’t matter who is in net if the team doesn’t score a goal.

This board hates UPL, but sure seems to be okay with him after his good games.

Defense needs to be better. No question. Power is still learning and I expect him to be better by the end of the season. Our young F's are still learning to play on both sides of the puck as well.
If we're playing UPL though, we have no chance. He done nothing but suck at the pro level.
So, you think UPL has sucked at the pro level while playing behind a team that’s learning to play defense still?
Makes sense.

Came to check for the UPL hatred, but don’t feel like going through all 19 pages for it.

I religiously drove from Rochester to Buffalo for around half of the Sabres games, every season, for many years.
Around 8 years ago, I stopped doing that. I can count on one hand how many games I’ve been to in person since then.
The reasons go beyond the team being bad. I can go watch them lose and still enjoy myself, if there are other factors. Those other factors started vanishing more after the new ownership took over.
Even if tickets were only $10 I’d question whether it would even be a fun time to attend regardless if the team is bad or not. How’s the music? How’s the arena? How’s the parking? Is there a giveaway? How’s the food? How’s the atmosphere? What are they doing during intermissions to entertain people?They said they did all the work into improving the food at least - so, for those who have went, is it any better?

I would dump UPL in a heartbeat. I don't think this dude has it...at no level has he ever really performed well enough to make you think he is a #1 goalie other than a 9 game stretch in 2021-22 when he got hot for 4 games and had great numbers due to only allowing 2 goals in each of those games on lots of shots against. The other 5 games he was below average to abysmal.
His rebound control is among the worst in the NHL. The only thing he is consistent at is being inconsistent. Literally you don't know if you are getting a brick wall or a turnstile in goal that night with him.
If he wasn't 6'5" would the Sabres still be carrying him? They seem obsessed with big goalies...if he was 6'0 like Levi, dude would have been sent packing a long time ago.
I mean, there was the season he set the Sudbury Wolves franchise record for most wins in a regular season, led the Ontario Hockey League in wins, save percentage, and shutouts, and won the Red Tilson Trophy as the league's most outstanding player.

Sent out email to everyone in the league…and posted here. Sorry, but not sure what else I could do.
It’s all good, you did what you could. I just don’t check the board often when hockey isn’t in season.

Wish I had known about the draft.
Oh well, bad luck to everyone!

I have two tickets for tonights game up for sale on Ticketmaster for $25 each. Unless they happen to sell by the time I connect with someone, I'd be happy to transfer them to whoever contacts me first. You'll need the Ticketmaster app and I guess I use your mobile phone number or email to make the transfer.
PM me if you want them.
edit: they are in the lower bowl, sort of in the corner. Section 113 row 21
edit #2 - what I mean is they are free to anyone on here who can use them
I sure wish I saw this earlier. Would’ve been fun to bring my daughter to the game.

50 goals in the NFL is almost impossible
