You overlook the fact that many of Comrie’s losses were when they were missing at least 2 and sometimes 3 of their top 6 D, including Samuelsson for an extended period. He started the season well when he had a healthy D in front of him, as UPL does now.

You can do all of that by playing both UPL and Comrie. He played well at the start of the season when the defense was healthy.

Looks like Anderson in goal. I thought they would have played Comrie by now. He’s going to be pretty rusty next time he plays.

I don’t understand why Power is reluctant to shoot from the point. He repeatedly hesitates when he has an open shot and then tries to make a pass which sometimes ends up getting intercepted.

The Oilers had even less of a chance. Where there’s a will there’s a way, especially when the selections are made behind closed doors. The NBA found a way to get Patrick Ewing to the Knicks.

The league wanted to punish Buffalo for purposely making roster moves to tank, and Edmonton just had a new arena built and needed to ensure they had an attraction to fill it.

Moo: Middlestadt, Okposo, and Olofsson. Replace with faster two-way players.

Was it him or the players in front of him?

I’ll never get why a recreational hockey player doesn’t wear a full face cage. Some complain it blocks their vision, but it’s not their day job and you learn to adjust. Not worth the potential damage.

I’ll be convinced otherwise about Adams when he makes a trade for a top four defenseman.

Do I think UPL should stay? Yes. But Adams still has the mindset that this is a building year and that they aren’t ready to compete for a playoff spot.

It won’t surprise me if UPL goes back to Rochester. Adams said he needs to play alot, but didn’t say where.

Comrie started well but when the D started getting multiple injuries he wasn’t as good. He deserves another chance with the D healthy.

Pete Weber has also been having a medical issue.

To be fair, Comrie played a number of games when the Sabres D was hit by injuries.

You’re right, the Bills moving was more complex and affected many more people. You’re making excuses that could be easily rectified by a league that had to deal with multiple last minute Covid scheduling issues. And I wouldn’t go to the game in Rochester, the Amerks STHs should have been given first priority. But it’s a moot point now.

The Bills moved their sellout home game to Detroit. Did all the fans go to Detroit? Of course not. The roads will be clear enough that a team bus would be allowed to pick those living downtown up. Rerouting a flight from Pittsburgh to Rochester instead of Buffalo is not a major accomplishment. Try again. 🙄

They should play the game in Rochester.

Anyone replacing Mitts is my dream.

The sports gods mock us again as the Bills and Sabres are scheduled to play at the same time. I will watch the Bills live and DVR the Sabres, and then watch the Sabres afterwards while fast forwarding past the commercials and between periods. Also, when are the Sabres going to stop being cheap by not flying the announcing team out to western games. That’s embarrassing.

If trophies were renamed for the best at a position in the modern era then the NFL would have to rename the Super Bowl Lombardi trophy after Bill Belichek. 🤔

Too slow for that line, and he couldn’t handle the minutes.
