Sabres would be 3 points behind with 3 games in hand. Make that 3-1. Way to go. Yep, end of the second now. I got the game on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weak play by Kyrou to not desperately defend. Huge win. Too bad the Pens won. UPL finds a way. 2 for 2 on this trip, keep it up. He's such a stud. Complete stud.

He played well to close out the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matter2003 Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I just looked at NHL leaders and for as good as Thompson has been, McDavid has 22 more points than he does... That is insane! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DarthEbriate Posted January 25, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I am proud of this team tonight. A desperate Blues squad capping off a homestand, getting Terasenko (1W) and Krug (1D) back for good measure, with 2 days of rest and practice, against a Sabres squad that played the top team in the Blues' division last night and went end-to-end all night... flew into town overnight... This was an excellent back-to-back victory. Let's go, Buffalo! 7 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a number/analytic that trumps every other number. That's what the game is about. UPL made some big stops that were a significant factor in the win. In this win I don't recall UPL allowing in a weak goal. There was one goal where the shooter put in a laser shot that was high on his glove side. On that shot I credit the shooter more than criticize the goalie . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice guy...sure...quality goalie - sure doesn't look like it I ran the numbers of each goalie during the defense-injury and 8-game losing streak madness... 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.)

Near the bottom in every goalie category. Not sure I understand the love of Comrie nor the hate for UPL, but can't understand insanity I suppose.
