way the f*ck is Granato not pulling UPL. Great decision to play Bryson over Klague too.

Not a big fan of Luukonen. He's young but I don't like his rebound control and I don't like all the goals he lets in. I think we can swap out three defensemen too, (Joki, Lubyushkin and Bryson) and several forwards (Okposo, Girgs, Casey and Olof). In addition, Quinn/Peterka are not ready yet.
lets pray Levi is the real thing and progresses quicker than normal. I don't think UPL is the Lt answer - too many weak gols, especially glove side.
I get it's a young team and maybe not playoff ready, but 2 no shows at home the last 2 games is unacceptable
I don't need to see Okposo nor Girgenson resigned. Nice guys, but are part of the bad past and really are replacement level players at this point. Move on

You must have missed the 1st period of the Carolina game.
CAR 1st period - shots even, CAR 3 goals BUF 1 goal
CGY 2nd period = CGY outshoots us 21-5, outscores us 4-0
I think todays a ton worse

Not a bad period
worst period I've seen in years. You have a sellout home crowd, an opposition goalie basically sh*tting all over himself ready to give up 10 goals and you counter this by getting no shots on goal, forgetting how to play defense and your goalie giving up 1-2 bad goals. Compound this by having every team near us i nthe playoff race winnign every game. Just very disa[pointing and inexcuseable.

refs love ignoring elbows to the head and holding but call every hook they see on Buffalo

What the heck was that? Upie is just getting shelled out there, poor guy.
Not much support but he let in 2 bad golas too which can;t happen

being outshot 25-4 while fighting for a playoff spot is pathetic. If it wasnt for the lousy goaltending by Markum in the 1st it would be 4-0

What is this officiating?
I'm in favor of officiating. Phantom call on Krebs, missed calls on the Cozen trip and a lot of holds by Cgy then they call a ticky tack call on Okposo. Refs are consistently garbage in the NHL

Did he hurt himself on the hit or when the shot from the point went off of him?? Couldn't tell

Alright, who flipped the switch on Mitts’ back from suck to good?
Please make my wholesale refusal to believe in you look dumb, young man…
Jost did honestly. Mitts has been a different player since Jost

Absolute embarrassment. Slow start at home. Useless power play. Both things coaching has a lot of control over and we can’t get it right. What a joke
easy Marvin, teams don't win every game

Did you somehow take my post to be a criticism of Cozens?
I think you could argue for Tuch or Dahlin, but, I think your post-Okposo Sabre captain will be Cozens. He's a leader, a score and will be even more dominant when he finishes growing into his body - i think he gains 15 more pounds of muscle in the next couple of years

KC needs to get healthy in the next 2 weeks as their current receiving corp makes ours looks all world

They might need to have him on suicide watch tonight after getting back to Cincy. He's still inconsolable on their bench 10 minutes later.
not sure that was #58 on the bench, though i could be wrong. Looked like his number ended in a 9?? hard to tell

To get a point with the tage line not scoring and giving up a 5on5 goal + asshat refs calling the game as they did...got to be happy with the point. I mean, are these referees actually supervised/graded? How can they possibly not be demoted to the AHL after turning in constant homer performances like this. There's no integrity in this game all too often.

Goaltending cost us this one. I'll take the point.
Goaltending also won us a point.....I choose glass half full

Looks like ref missed another high stick. Mitts cut
yep - don't make the obvious calls, just make the phantom hooking calls where MIN grabs are stick and acts like they've been raped. Assclown refs...hate them all

really bad play by line 1 there - stayed on the ice way too long and were exhausted. Tuch should have just dumped it in and got a full change. Insted turned it over - play other way...goal

I’ll care about regular SV% more because every shot matters even though some are more dangerous than others.
UPL is definitely an NHL level goalie but on an average scoring team I don’t think he would have a 13-5-1 record. Next year I expect he will be better.
i'm not a huge fan, and yes he'll get better. But I'll say hes been responsible for our surge as much as anybody. 13-2 in last 15 with 3.06 GAA .909 SV %, Still not elite (except for record), but his first few games really dragged his overall stats down

His regular SV% ranking is also in the 30s. Sub .900SV%. No doubt part of this can be tied to defense injuries or inexperience.
d0onpt care about save %, care about high scoring chance save %. If he's facing twice as many high scoring chances a game than some goalies that's telling. For instance, Comrie's game was relatively stress free the other night, until the last 5 minutes, because Buffalo had 80% of the game's high scoring chances in the first 55 minutes. Peg had some in the last 5, changing it to 67% Buf/33% Peg

Hope you're right but I think prob not against Fleury. Despite scoring 6 vs him last game, he typically makes it hard to score.

I’d say GAA of your goalies matters. Not going to score four or five goals every game and those lower scoring games have as much impact as any other.
to a certain extent but I think there are better measures. I think Marty Brodeur is one of the most overrated goalies ever for instance. Great GAA, Great Save %, a ton of shutouts, also played in a defensive system that was historic for allowing so few scoring chances

ESPN has him 39th in the league with a 3.29. His actual GAA is 3.35. I don’t know what the minimum games played is but I’d guess he’s middle to slightly below middle of the pack.
What's his high chance save %, that's probably a better indicator. Sabres are fun to watch, but they're also fun to play against as there not exactly the most defensive aware team

Holy cow Craig…have you even looked at his contract status?
4 more years at 11.5. Didn't realize he's only 32. RHD and we could fit him under our cap. His salary would be going away when we start paying some of the youngsters. Still.....I'd be shocked

GDT: Calgary @ Buffalo. 12.30pm. MSG B, ESPN+
in The Aud Club
Posted
Calgary was looking to give us the game and we didn't take it. Terrible effort, terrible performance and terrible coaching to have them perform like that.
