Ellis in net 

I was expecting UPL to help get Lyon more rest.  

Hmmm.   Lindy likes to ride the hot goalie.

2-4 points out? Nah.

They are literally 4 points out of a playoff spot right now.  If they win tonight they will be no more than 4 points out of a playoff spot.  If all the other teams lose, they could be as few as 2 points (although might not be possible if some of the teams ahead of us play each other tonight.

But yeah.  If they win tonight, they stay no more than 4 points behind a playoff spot.

UPL should never start again for this team.

7:30 local start times (ESPECIALLY ON WEEKDAYS) should be outlawed by the Geneva Convention.

Depends entirely on your perspective.

Back in the early 1970's the home weekday games started at 8:05 and the Sunday games were 7:05. 

The 8:05 start gave me plenty of time and motivation to get my homework done, and the better the grades the more games I got to attend.

Funny I juat looked at the standings and I thought Boston and Ottawa were playing so good yet we are not far behond and have games in hand on everybody. Just hope that the team we saw against the Oilers and not the team that showed up againwt St. Louis (trying to forget that game).

UPL should not see the inside of a crease again unless one of the other two are injured

Nowadays it doesn't matter cause they can just turn in homework whenever and get full credit usually.

I already know the outcome. The Sabres never win 3 in a row. 

Put money on it. Lemons into lemonade.

[sabresouth]

I hope this is a good sign that upl is done here. If you were going to play him, I would think it would be this game.

I swear that the NHL points system was designed by the global elites to cause strife and division between those of the metric/imperial measurement systems grappling with new vs old math.

Ellis has definitely earned the starter's net to see if he can run with it.  Lyon's great start to the year should not be overlooked. UPL has not been consistent.

But, since the ot loss in Toronto:

Ellis: 3 GP, .907sv%, -1.03 GSAx

Lyon: 5 GP, .878sv%, -2.38 GSAx

UPL: 3 GP, .900sv%, -0.48 GSAx

 

[Thorny]

Won’t watch. Fire Adams. Go Sabres.
