pi2000 Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Scrambling the lines in Granato's way of sending a message to his players. If the effort level returns, I'd expect the lines go back to normal... perhaps by the second or third period. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was never good here in ROC. Looking at his numbers in Buffalo, they’re tanking: 3.43, .896. To me, he’s been “good” once out of his last five starts (Minn), and I’m not even sure that counts because he didn’t stop a single shootout attempt. I’m ready to give Comrie an extended look. Nah. One game. If he plays quite well, get him another. Can’t prioritize getting him an extended look over team performance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm somewhat in agreement with you. UPL looks like he can be good, but he is just so young. Often times goalies need years before you get the best out of him. He has shown flashes he has it in him, which is good, but he is NOT playing like even an above average NHL goalie yet. I want to see Comrie. I want to see him get an extended run just to see him play. UPL has earned a spot on this team next year, he's earned the right to fight for the #1 goalie next year when Anderson is gone. He has earned the right to get more NHL games this year....his play to me, however, has NOT earned him the #1 goalie on this team right now.

Because a lot of that was the way we played in front of him. Calgary was running a practice drill.

Hawerchuk Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Since JJ Peterka is a healthy scratch tonight, would it be wise to send him down to the Amerks for a bit and call up someone else (Biro, Rousek or Weissbach)? Seems to me he needs to reload, get some scoring confidence back. I'm not sure his waiver eligibility so I could be wrong. Anyway, just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rollercoaster is making me sick, time to get off it I've watched every game since Granato became head coach. The journey is the most enjoyable part. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Admittedly, the Calgary game was dreadfully smelly garbage that needs to be dumped before jumping to light speed.) It'll be fun to see how the team responds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's both. The thing with UPL that isn't reflected in his stats are the huge saves he'll make late in a game. So yeah, he let in 3-4 goals but he stops a 2-on-1 late that allows us to win.

Contempt Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Well, so much for sleep. I'm riding a school bus back from a basketball tournament where our 715 game didn't START until 845. And if course it's an hour away from school and I live 20 more minutes past that so maybe I will catch some of this game after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
