Why change it? Anderson is also playing well overall. Edited January 25, 2023 by TageMVP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not but I don't need to "see if he can improve" when one goalie keeps winning making big time saves when needed and the other is putting up great numbers and winning as well. How many goals are the Sabres down in the first 10 minutes if Comrie was in net against the Stars? Assuredly more than 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He slumped some at the end of the year as he ran out of gas but he was VERY solid in both ends. He was historically good offensively but was nowhere close to a disaster most of the season.

He's the main reason we're not in a playoff spot right now. Nice guy...sure...quality goalie - sure doesn't look like it 5 minutes ago, CTJoe said: Nope it doesn't but he's been garbage this year.

Not sure I understand the love of Comrie nor the hate for UPL, but can't understand insanity I suppose. You overlook the fact that many of Comrie’s losses were when they were missing at least 2 and sometimes 3 of their top 6 D, including Samuelsson for an extended period. He started the season well when he had a healthy D in front of him, as UPL does now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say I'm completely confident in him yet but UPL has really shown a propensity for clutch saves. This is all a team can really ask for from their goalie imo. He seems to be clutch when we need him to be, he's definitely growing on me. I really hope he can man the fort while Levi gets here or becomes the man himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know which thread it was anymore. But Comrie was the one who suffered most from the injuries/streak. He hasn't had chance to play with Samuelsson or the team when it's been playing well. Comrie will have that shield up. We've gotta give him more time! (probably next season after Anderson retires and UPL gets more consistent.) Fair but how much of that 8 game losing streak was on Comrie's shoulders vs. the rest of the team?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense was decimated. At the very start of the season (through the first western swing) he looked very good. I'm of the camp that his stats are depressed by the crappy-ass defense. But at the same time, I want to stick with the hot hand (UPL and a dose of Anderson once a week). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matter2003 Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Damn Ovie with a one timer for a goal off a terrible clearing attempt by the Avs where the forward tried to chip it by the Damn and have a 2 on 1 but he didn't get it by him and then he found Ovie all alone in his office... 3-2 Avs, 9 minutes left.

I'll join you after an episode of Bojack. Yes, I am at least 5 years behind pop culture. Yes, I'm OK with that. 4 minutes ago, CTJoe said: Fair but how much of that 8 game losing streak was on Comrie's shoulders vs. the rest of the team?? The defense was an injured Boushh, Bryson, Fitz, Clague, Dahlin playing 27+, and Power but not the Power we're seeing now. Comrie's goal support was 2 goals per game in his losses (with his best support coming in that awful Eichel hat trick game v. Vegas). It was very team-centric. Was he looking dominant? No, but UPL is getting 2.5 goals for in his losses. It's all too small a sample size though, UPL or Comrie. The key is getting Comrie some time with the full Sabres defense and attacking offense, because he'll be on the team next season. If he can take over for Anderson and the team has confidence in him.... then the Sabres will look very solid. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Just finished watching the game, and it turned out pretty much like I expected. I wrote this last night’s game thread. Quote Tomorrow’s game is even bigger then today’s. We need continue our momentum and put ourselves in position for a winning road trip. St. Louis is a beatable mediocre team, but we are on the 2nd night of a back to back. The Sabres need to come out strong and get a lead in case the legs go in the 3rd. I was impressed with the team’s jump in the first, but by mid way in the second you could see the legs dying. KO’s 2 on 1 was the slowest 2 on 1 I think I’ve ever witnessed. Still a strong regulation road win against a team desperate for points. TnT’s line was spectacular in the first. I really liked Stl uniforms and UPL let in sone softies but made big saves to help seal the game. DG must be very proud of the boys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
