Big Guava

The dude is 18...pretty sure he will gain strength thru at least 21 or 22, so I think you'd want to revisit this at that point. Time to get those squats and deadlifts going in the gym...

These decisions are not made in February, they are made in April or May.

Why do I get the feeling we are going to go from having no goalies for 12 years to having 2 goalies? Ullmark was kinda good here but he also was also injured for 6 weeks at a time twice a year too

UPL has a 2.39 GAA and save percentage of .914 with 3 SOs in his last 20 games. That's tied for 9th best save percentage over those many games with Bobrovsky and 7th best GAA. Tied for 2nd in SO's with Tristan Jarry and Thatcher Demko. We wanted to see a consistent stretch of good hockey and we have gotten it. Sadly he is only 9-10-1 over that time since the Sabres can't score except sporadically. In comparison, Thatcher Demko has posted a .917 and 2.43 with 3 SOs as well and is 17-2-1. Remember when we said all we needed was better goaltending? Well, we got it and the results haven't changed much. He is turning into a real one tho...Levi might not be playing much anytime soon.

Seems a little disingenuous to term this "week to week" when Granato said he'll be out a week, maybe two. Week to week to me denotes something like 4-5 weeks.

UPL turning into a real one...

I've been feeling very melancholy about this team lately.

Adams isn't the coach.

That 8-12 inches will probably shut them down for a few days hahahaha

We had Bylsma who won a Stanley Cup...does it really matter?

Another game with tons of chances and one goal. WTF is wrong with this team?

It is...and there is a reason men's and women's sports are separated after the age of 11 or 12. People can believe whatever they want to believe. The real world doesn't care about that and neither does physics. I could "believe" that I could jump off a 10 story building or walk in front of a moving train and survive without any injuries. I would be dead wrong, literally, but I could believe it if I wanted to. Believing something that simply logically and scientifically isn't true is a sign of delusion, which is where a lot of these women's rights people come off. I'm not saying she shouldn't play, but she can always go play in a woman's league or a coed league.

Just bullcrap. Sabres were the much better team tonight.

C'mon now...2 straight 5 on 3s for the Stars and 4 straight penalties against the Sabres late in the game?

And? This is pretty mild. Actual professionals have dealt with far far worse. None of them cried to my knowledge.

What a move by Cozens

Sabres are kicking the Stars @ss everywhere except where it counts.

C'mon man...we are getting shot after shot and they get some garbage goal. SMFH

TNT!!

A lot of them?

Then what is she crying about? If you can't physically take being checked then don't play. I played indoor soccer and flag football for quite a while. I cannot tell you the number of times I got slammed into the boards in soccer or tackled in football. Did I sit around crying about it? No... it's one of those things that is technically not supposed to happen but realistically you know it's going to happen just in the course of people competing. We're there some jackasses that went out of their way to do so? Yeah, of course. There are those idiots in every league. They are usually no skill goons who know being physical is the only way they can really contribute. If you can't accept that then don't play. It's simple.

You would think with as many shots as they throw at these goalies we would get some crazy deflection or bounce off a skate like happens against us all too frequently, but it never seems to happen for us...

He is but once again, the Sabres make good goalies look like Prime Hasek on his best night pretty regularly this year.

Women need to stop with this nonsense that they are "equal" physically to men. They aren't. It's not even debatable. Physically they cannot compete. Even Serena Williams, one of the greatest female tennis players ever said she would be lucky to be in the Top 500 if she played in the Men's tournament. Men are bigger, faster and stronger than women. They accelerate faster, they can jump higher, they are more athletic in terms of doing things at top speed. The multiple time Woman's World Cup winning USWNT has gotten crushed by high school under-14 boys teams. Could you imagine the Bills getting drubbed by a high school team? Even the worst NFL team would beat the best high school team like 80-0. If women want to continue this nonsensical crusade then they deserve whatever comes their way. Go start a league with women and play in it.

Only the Sabres could be outshooting a team 14-2 halfway thru the 1st and still losing 1-0. Just SMFH at this team sometimes.
