Tipped in by Timmins.

FWIW Flames broadcast crew / Kelly Hr said it was a weak attempt by UPL to see the shot.  Even with the tip.

Everyone should remember that the Flames were a consensus bottom-5 finisher in preseason predictions. They are currently bottom 3 in the league, right on course.

They're skating circles around the Sabres, whose GM has had 6 seasons and tons of capital (and Eichel/Reinhart/etc.) as assets to rebuild his new core.

That was a vintage UPL softie. First GA, not his fault at all. That one? Ehhhhh

We do remember. Unfortunately we have 0 say in it.

I have the Sabres broadcast on ESPN +.  
 

Is the Calgary one better?   They are usually dull.

JFC, UPL over pursuit almost causes another goal...

Canadian broadcast is always better.  Kelly Hrudey >> Ray.  And do you need a comparison for Dan?

Hey Sabres, tomorrow you've got Edmonton. Edmonton who has scored 28 goals in their last 6 games. And one of those games they lost 1-0 to the uberhot Wild Wallstedt. So really, that's 28 goals in 5 games. You're going to want to start skating a little harder.

I listen to the opponents feed often.  I’m too aggravated to hear the truth to night.

There's a lotta "not sure why" with this team.

Ruff and Adams should both be gone before the Christmas hiatus. I’d do it the minute they get back from this road trip that will surely secure yet another lost season in cement.  Bring in Jarmo with Torts as HC. Would brighten a pretty dark and dull holiday time in Sabreland and at least give possible hope for 2026 and beyond.
