TageMVP

They're a different team when he's on the ice

Time to start that 5 game winning streak Islanders will start their 5 game losing streak

LETS GO

It ain't over till it's over

They play like they did against the Rangers and they will have a solid chance. In this game and for the playoffs. Tuch is back. No question he adds an element that no other current player provides to this team Islanders are nervous. They had a nice slump mid-season. The pressures mounting, and they're barely holding onto that last wild card spot. Out of the Sabres, Florida and Ottawa, the Islanders are the worst. Sorokin is their forever MVP They better hope the Sabres don't go on a run...

I seriously wonder why the post lockout "rules" just faded away seemingly overnight. The trapezoid is pointless, though. I strongly dislike 3 on 3 in overtime, as Thorny said earlier. 3 on 3 has way too much open ice, a team can horde the puck forever, and if a team takes a penalty it's basically over for them. Some executive was saying a way while back that penalties in OT should only be a minute long, I might agree there. Every thing about overtime is far too gimmicky. 3 on 3, shootout, LOSER point. Get rid of all of it. Why would a team ever get a point for losing? Makes beyond zero sense. Shootouts are exciting, but that's about it. Would not mind them going back to 5 on 5 for 5 minutes and ties. Makes the most sense, easily The refs are all over the place lately, but Dahlin has to be smarter there. He's a leader on this team, no excuses Lead by example

Nah

Agreed. Was more talking about this recent stretch

Usually the Sabres implode in the beginning or middle of a season. They waited until the end this time, for extra pain and agony

You were saying?

Intermission is too freakin long

Peterka needs to find out who high sticked him and high stick that guy right back. Why not the refs don't call anything anyway

Sabres lookin a lot more fresh than that Dallas game so far

Regarding the topic, the way the Sabres play defense is the far greater problem than who is in net. They somehow play worse defense than when Ullmark was here UPL is a decent goalie considering the absolute horrendous defense in front of him. This team doesn't even TRY to play defense. Absurd I haven't lost any faith in UPL. Keep him, start him

Anaheim has two in the top 5

Too late to call Trotz

This is unbelievable

He's playing well

Comrie needs to save that

How can you play like this 2 games in a row with the season on the line? What is Granato telling them? Is he saying anything at all?

PULL HIM. Call a timeout. Do something Granato

Okposo giving it his ALL the last few games

NO DEFENSE

Derek Roy is going behind the bench with Granato. Comeback incoming 7-3 Sabres win
