How does UPL find himself so far out of the net all the time?

Once he goes down, that’s it. He has zero lateral movement or quickness to recover. Always been an issue. 

[lowsabre]

Good game, but ***** it

[HumanSlinky39]

Haven't won two in a row since Oct 29-Nov 1.

[Stoner]

I mean, it wasn't terrible. A fun holiday game. Still gotta file it under Learning to Lose.

Off to Cackletown.

Tage chasing after the goalie: Check

Only one guy staying far enough back: Check

No hustle picking your stick up: Check

Dog $h!t goalie sliding out of the net: Check

I think we’re good boys.

[Believer]

Damn… We had great chances… Shesterkin beat us in OT

[rickshaw]

We need a goalie, bad. Levi 1/3 of the game and 2/3 for the UPL/Comrie replacement.

[KC Scouts]

But But But......We got a point.........BullSh**

 

[Scottysabres]

They had their chances, and plenty of them, they just didn't capitalize on them. The lost point hurts.

[bunomatic]

Fun game. Not so fun ending. They got a point. 1 pp for the Sabres for the game ? A little homerism going on as usual.

UPL played a good game.

The book on UPL reads like this: first, he's a sieve, second, put the puck behind the net because the dude forgets he's guarding a net in an NHL game and will go for a long skate after the puck.

I’ll be in the state of Florida for pick drop.  Me bringing my Roku so I can watch the Sabres whilst on vaca:

Apparently this is a big travel weekend (duh!).  I-95 was a parking lot in SC - Florida.  Took an extra FOUR ***** HOURS to get here.   Missed first two periods and 1st quarter of Bills.  😡

No sport is like hockey where 2 people will come away with 180 degree takes.

I was at the game. Looked like we coulda had it. We were pouring it on, but Shesterkin was in the zone. Then UPL went for a skate, and Dahlin didn't tie up the man in front.

[DarthEbriate]

If every loss was a fun (if you're an impartial viewer) game with plenty of action -- and you get a loser point out it, it's not a bad way to go through a season.

Of course, never winning 2 in a row, and the Pens/Caps picking up loser points themselves... it's all a wash as to whether it's an entertaining game or not.

I found video from last summer of UPL working on his positioning.

Until he didn’t.

Well there was effort and it was a decent hockey game but you can see it's not so easy when the other team has a reasonably good goalie and they play a little defense. If this was opening night of the season I'd be thinking maybe this will be the year but at this stage we just can't not get 2 points on any night. I liked the way they blocked shots tonight though and the overall team effort but you won't win many games with that sort of inconsistent goaltending. 

It's still on Adams for not getting a proper NHL goalie for this season. 

[inkman]

Someone convince me to go back and watch this or walk out of condo onto the beach? 

[WhenWillItEnd66]

3 of 4 against 2 good teams is not a bad thing.  If they can keep rolling after holiday break.....

It was a very entertaining game… until into the OT.

Walk the beach if it’s not too chilly… Take a beer.
