To the bold. It could have been. It's just one more missed opportunity.

And some holes have been here for longer than that. GOALIE!!! I've been advocating for that one for a couple of years at least. Anderson just can't handle to much of the workload.

After the game rob Ray gave the shots on goal and score for each team. Then proceeded to say that UPL played a good game. I'm sorry but in what universe is 4 goals on 28 shots playing a good game. Granted they all aren't on him but even if you give him 2. Then 2 goals on 28 shots is still not good. The only reason UPL has a winning record is because we are currently the second highest goal scoring team in the league.

We know injuries are going to happen and we knew we were/are short on depth in all areas. So it would have been nice if KA had addressed this in the off-season. Instead we are filling wholes with borderline nhl talent today.

Well crap. This is where KA's lack of forward vision is going to hurt us for sure. I will be shocked if he makes a move by the deadline. He has been to slow on the reaction to a need. Goaltending case in point.

I think Vinnie is the right call. Play hard and fast and I think the caps will start lagging in the third. Let's go buffalo

Yeah, but he's only good for every fourth game or so. We need to fix the other three.

Please KA for the love of Pete, fix the goaltending. This is just a taste of what could be.

What a great team effort

Amazing what good goaltending will do for you

I feel Anderson gives us the best chance to win this one. And that's kinda sad. Sure wish we had a true number one goalie that could take over and win crucial games. I know, beating a dead horse.

I think the reffs could have easily called bush for hooking. I think they let it slide to make up for the missed call on okie.

Great fun game. My nerves are shot. Wish we could win these games 5-3 instead of 6-5 in overtime. Take them any way you can get them at this point.

Comrie's poor puck control led to at least one of the goals

Sure would be nice to have a decent goalie. At least eliminate one of our problems.

KA needs to make a move of some kind. Shake things up a bit. I believe defense and UPL are equally the problem. Both need to be better

The last time they had a long break their passing was not good for a couple of games. They seemed out of sink. Sure hope that doesn't happen this time. They need to come out of the gate hot and fast. What is this weird feeling I'm having. It's mid February and I can't wait for their next game. Go Sabres

Congrats to Dahlin

Any word on TNT's injury?

I looked in a music book and I haven't found any of the notes yall are talking about. 🤪

At least we will come out with games in hand.

Want? We need a goalie that can carry the team if need be, if we're going to make deep runs into the playoffs. Also I've been saying this for a while. This isn't my first shot at our goalies. I also gave UPL an out in that I know he's young and he may very well become the goalie we need , but he is definitely not there yet. Because the fact remains UPL has a GA average of 3.26. UPL has made some great saves but at the end of the game they still scored 3 goals against us. The only reason we are sniffing the playoffs is because our offensive players have developed quicker than expected. If we didn't have one of the highest scoring offense in the NHL we would not even be close to a playoff spot. I've said this before as well that if you have to score 4 goals per game you're not going to win a lot of games. Thankfully our offense is able to overcome this quite often. I will not say our goaltending is doing well, when in fact it is not.

I was wondering the same thing. It's not like we were playing poorly.

One thing the shootout brings to light about your goalie is how good he really is. A lot of us on here have been saying we need a goalie upgrade for years now. And others have been saying it's the poor defense that's causing our high ga average. He's got to be able to stop a high percentage of point blank shots. In the shootout the defense is eliminated, therefore leaving just the goalie. UPL went 0-3 last night. I know he's young and hasn't faced many shootouts in his career yet, but it's not a good sign for a goalie to not stop the puck. It's his only job. I keep hearing "well he kept us in the game" or "he gave us a chance to win", but I'm not hearing "he won that game for us". We need a goalie that can win us some games. Not just keep us in them.

The Sabres play more of a wide open game. There's a lot less coaching needed for this. Coach just tells them to "get after it" and away they go. 😀 LETS GO SABRES!!!!
