Pray for us...live Jesus in our hearts...

No, I just don't equate an average at best goalie with the best who ever played the game and think they would get the same results. Would be like saying Trent Edwards would have the same impact as Josh Allen if the players around him weren't as good. Makes zero sense.

The second you said Hasek would have the same numbers your argument was DOA to me.

Oh damn...I had no idea Gilbert was a Buffalo product and actually went to my high school!

Please...we keep making excuses for why the goalie lets in God Awful goals that have no business going in far too often. Trying to say Hasek would have the same numbers is the height of nonsense. And at least 3 of them were terrible goals

Ullmark had very good numbers here, he was just always hurt. His worst save percentage with us was .905 and average was .912. UPL had a season of .892 and somehow an even worse .890 this year. Career average is .900. Those are not NHL numbers. They might not even be AHL numbers.

Sorry but UPL allows for too many disgraceful goals that have no business going in against NHL goalies, let alone happening almost every night

How is it possible to score 5 goals in a game but not score on a 6 on 3? Sabres find new ways to lose every night that are nearly impossible. Also UPL is trash...they need to trade him for a bag of picks and get out of that contract

Got it...so Ruff is responsible for UPL allowing 2 AHL goals a game

Utterly embarrassing

I mean great job to get a point after the hole they dug themselves but unacceptable to dig themselves that hole and it was all of their own doing.

UPL has regressed badly this year and is not good more often than good.

Who ever knows how the off-season will play out?

The Canadiens have become the latest bugaboo team for the Sabres. Can't remember the last time they beat them

Currently the best team in the AHL in both points are win percentage...pretty impressive.

This is why I kinda asked this question... noticable increase in scoring while their defense and goaltending has been very questionable at times

The last 6 games, Sabres are averaging 5 goals per and have looked a lot like the team that almost made the playoffs under Granato where they were just making teams look silly on defense often times... Wondering if this has been a concerted effort from Ruff to get them playing like that again?

Ironically, this worked tremendously well under Granato and they virtually never lost in regulation when leading going into the 3rd for 2 years.

Just crazy teams like the Canadiens and Bruins who have dreadful goals differentials of -26 and -28 are ahead of the Sabres and so are the Red Wings who are 11 points clear of us with a -12 differential. The Sabres have a -8 and are dead last in the Eastern Conference...makes no sense.

How do you subtract a 13 game losing streak as if it never happened?

Gotta have something to get riled up about there other than Maple Leaf playoff flameouts year after year I guess. 😂

We can say what we want but no GM fleeced other teams better than Darcy Regier. Not only with the Drury and Briere trades but also getting a 1st round pick for Paul Gaustad.

I stream every game online for free that I want to watch outside football games that mostly are on network TV.

These are the type of players who think they are doing "enough" to be in the lineup but aren't being honest with themselves. Like the people who work 2 hours a day and then complain when they get let go because they "worked hard". He should be able to see what someone who is playing regularly does and what he is doing and see that those 2 things are vastly different but he doesn't.

I hope they got a better interest rate on that loan this time
