And hardmans slot may be taken by Coleman? Maybe not, perhaps they keep him inactive and just elevate codrington.

Always worry about injuries but if you can trade UPL and one of Ellis or Lyon gets hurt, you call up Levi. If Ellis or Lyon fall off a cliff, you call up Levi. It’s not rocket science except for probably Adams

Except for one 3 month period, UPL has proven to be a below replacement level goalie, not counting his last year in juniors. He’s not becoming the next ullmark

Fair points. My only q is: if Ellis keeps is play up, and I see no reason why he can’t given his style, and Lyon regresses just a little (it’s started already) but is still a decent 1B, what happens to Levi next year? I guess you could trade him but not sure what you’d get? If Ellis is really the real deal, there’s not much use for Levi as this 3 goalie thing is idiotic Played the last 2 games, will play again cs Calgary tomorrow and we have 2 other goalies who need work. Pretty obvious

Let’s have some fun / let’s list pall the gd stupid stuff Pegula has done since saying “this is hockey heaven.” I’ll start with an easy one- Wanting to force Eichel to get spine fusion surgery instead of the new cutting edge surgery that isn’t debilitating. Eichel has won a cup and i think currently leading the league in points and the mvp favorite next

Adams at the leafs/kings game? Who’s he looking at? Byfield?

Team is soft and emotionally weak. Only way to explain all its blown leads. Keep on doing. Nothing Kevyn - that’ll work

So apparently feet break easier on 5’9” players than 6’3”

Playoffs we’re talking playoffs?

Because they don’t exist. A guy who doesn’t want to be in a city doesn’t sign an 8 year contract to stay in that city. Common sense 101

He looked v good but in all fairness they were playing vs a statue who was down big a lot of the game and had to pass

91 and Doan for me

Small sample size, I get it, but Lyon 2025 >>> than UPL 2023/2024. And it’s not that close

Yeah what’s to be impressed with only 3 assists in his first game of the season ……

Since when is 7-4 a two goal lead?

I always liked cozens. Not as a player as he had/has no hockey IQ, but I liked him cuz he cared and always played hard.

If ruff said it’s unrelated to his previous injuries, that would mean no oblique or shoulder injury. What did he do, pop a rib? I guess he could have strained the other oblique.!never saw a non-contact injury like this - he’s so fkn fragile it’s pathetic

No offense, horrible power play (why is Appert still coaching), no shot suppression and the team is a bunch of p*ssies that don’t hit. A lot to like here, did I miss anything? Will be fun when we play good teams

Good seeing that Ruff has them flying out of the gate. I think shots are 14-2 so far against the world beaters bruins. This honestly is unacceptable

Too funny - you don’t realize Lyon was the problem tonight, don’t you. 1-0 55 mins in - Lyon wasn’t responsible for 0-4 on the PP and zero goals scored. Why in the world is Alpert back? PP sucked last year, sucked in the preseason and sucked tonight. Management is clueless Or Sabres hockey since 2010

Agreed you don’t typically build systems for goalies. I think what you want to do is to limit high danger opportunities, which is good for every goalie

Yeah I just went with what the settings said the draft time was. Sabre players were in general picked earlier than they should have been so I assumed most were drafting and not on auto draft

I think 6:45pm EST is the time we always knew, no?

Feeling like Levi may be the call if UPL instant while. They’re desperate for a hot start and Lyon and Georgiev don’t seem oooe the answer

Didn’t they go something like 6-1 in preseason last year? How did that translate to the regular season?
