Great Road trip Ruff.... Good job buddy 

I can’t fault Ruff for this. These guys have repeatedly shown they can’t shoot. Literally, they fan on shots, accuracy is wretched.

Would hiring Tortorella help at all?

I stopped watching after the 1st just to check in now.

UPL with a .820 save percentage tonight....are we all close to being back off the UPL bandwagon?

Pionk really looked like he put his hand on the puck in the crease

UPL actually looked the other way as the puck went in. Got deked right out of his jock

Not sure he needs one.
Would need these.

Like many of us here, I unfortunately have unlimited quarters.

I'll bet they lose Tuch for nothing next summer.    Decision for a trade can't be made before the deadline.   They then try to re-sign him but he decides to go elsewhere.

You don't watch. You look at a stat. You decide this is all on UPL. 🙄

[Pimlach]

The Sabres had the better chances and outplayed them for much of the period.  But, give up a break away off of an offensive zone turnover, and then a final minute break down by our “top line” who are -2

Back to Sabres Classic mode.

I can't imagine anyone being on it.   I defend him as much as anyone but he ain't "it".  Get rid of UPL or Lyon and play Ellis predominantly.   See what he can give you

Not under Adam’s. He coddles.

If TP did ever made this move, players would ‘feel the burn’. 

[Scottysabres]

This is an organizational failure. I mean honestly, wtf do they do during shooting practice, hold ritual bloopers competitions? It’s mind boggling, simply mind boggling just how bad they are at accuracy, deciding when to shoot.

It’s not all UPL.  He stopped a penalty shot.  He was lost on some other plays, had help from two posts.  We are outplaying them but can’t bury it.  Sabres hitting posts too   

I would look at breaking up the  “top line”.   

[Mr Peabody]

Despite UPL’s .820 he’s outplaying our “top” line.  Our supposed “best” players seem to be vastly overrated.

At least he has a pulse.

[Crusader1969]

If Tuch didn't make that turnover, would you even realize he is playing tonight?

No.   More of them would pull a Peterka and ask to go.

This is a recurring theme for the last few years.   
in games they really need to win Tage and Tuch have been non existent

What difference would that make? Honest question. We aren’t getting results now, what difference would it make if Torts came in? These players need a kick in the arse.

Yeah, and the other 98% of the time UPL plays that I do. Watch means nothing I guess.

How about When he allows soft goals. When he gets beat cleanly on non-screened shots from 20 ft out that he should be ready for. When he gets beat to the outside of his pads because he can't get over quick enough. All those times over the past year and a half... Those mean something too.

He has been so bad that at some point he has to play exceptional to make up for all of his bad play in the past.

That sounds like recent games at Pittsburgh and vs New Jersey.
