Mon Dieu, quelle performance dans les filets ce soir par UPL, je peux honnêtement dire que je suis toujours en effervescence pendant que j’écris ceci… Les Sabres sont dominés mais l’UPL est plus grand que grand dans celui-ci… merci d’avoir regardé 😎 ** Communauté Discord sur ce lien 🦬 : https://discord.gg/DcRqQFN5nV ** ‘Khatchaturian Saber Dance’ a été sous licence et acheté auprès d’Audio Micro (Licence #U269T3409)

I had a thought while I was watching, they are playing some relaxed games so by the end of the season they are not wracked with injuries and are ready to chase the cup. Thats what I felt. I may be wrong but thats what crossed my mind. UPL was the rock in the net (In a good way) UPL being 24 is about the time a goalies either show up or check out. Even if he remains the backup I am happy with him. And conflicted because I do like Comries mentality the dude won't be defeated. Positive to a fault.
Sabres have 5 wins ….UPL has 3 of them 😎🤙. We look like a different team when HCDG mixes up the line up. Boy did we capitalize on the few opportunities that we created.
If upl keeps playing like this I will take back all I said about him this off-season. Very impressive his last 2 wins
UPL wasn't given a fair shake since coming in last season tbh. He had to face unfair high danger chances every game last year because of the lack of defensive play. Mitts with the mitts. The second period was a disaster. I believe after the second period Buffalo had a terrible face off percentage with Philly winning over 70%. I don't see Krebs ever becoming any more than a 3rd line centre at best. He is still working to get his first point. UPL played outstanding again! Honestly only allowed 1 goal (I'm not counting Jokis goal against). Wish Dahlin could have extended his point streak. Great road win!
UPL makes me so happy. Go Sabres!
Keep UPL in the net. The team is playing hard for him. I have to say Eric Johnson is a different maker. EJ is so smart in his own zone. Bryson & Joker look decent as well.
We now may have a MASSIVELY awesome problem on our hands!
The Sabres have been wanting to give Biro a shot, but he’s always hurt right before a call up, then he has a game like this. They also want Savoie to make the team because he’s TOO good for Juniors and he can’t go to Rochester. Zach Benson is also showing he belongs in the NHL, but may be the odd man out, since he’s the youngest and the other two may be farther along in their development. Then there’s the “Quinn returning soon” added to the mix. Great problem to have, but which solution makes us better?
My answer would be, dump Olofsson for ANYTHING at this point. Although he’s better this year, move Bryson and use Ryan Johnson for a call up if there’s an injury on Defense.
Lastly, finally decide if Comrie or UPL are going to stay. We need that roster spot open, because Benson and Savoie don’t belong in Juniors and after tonight, there NO WAY that Biro clears waivers again!
So that's what it's like to have your goalie steal one…🤔
The Sabres need to play better, with more consistency and discipline. They have almost no chemistry in terms of passing and basic timing. It's very concerning organizationally and I do wish Granato would fire them up better from time to time more. With that said UPL is looking confident and playing well, let's keep it up and stay motivated.
If they get goaltending like this all season they will make the playoffs for sure
If power works on his tenacity and not being such a passive and soft cream puff in front of the net and in the corners, he will be a top dman for years.
First two goals were tip ins. Not on UPL at all. The saying goes “no one asks ‘how?’ They ask how many.” Incredible game. Go Sabre!
To be fair, it does take a bit of luck to get a shutout. The 2 goals tonight were off of deflections. The first went off Jokiharju (I think) trying to block the pass. UPL has had 3 very good games in a row. I'm glad we have a goalie that can steal games for us right now.
After 12 years of misery, how nice to see our goaler steal a win from an opponent!
UPL looked like Hasek tonight, I can’t believe how good he’s been, he’s 3-1 this season for us!
that 2nd period was their worst period this year by far lol. Brutal but they hung in there and got some Goals in 3rd. they need to win these games for us to have a chance and they did. Can't all be pretty. I will take it. By the way Biro man. I was big on this kid during preseason I'm glad he was able to show his skill set tonight! UPL is staking his claim to be a goalie here. Go Sabres
Two comments, both defense related. 1. Bryson should just be waived. If some team takes him, good riddance. We've seen him and know what he is and what he provides. He's so marginal that as the call up for the suspended Clifton, his TOI tonight was all of 8:23. There must be someone on the Amerks (Clague, Davies, Stillman) who can be recalled for a few games when needed who will hit someone in an opposing sweater and not get pushed all over the ice. Bryson has had his chance and he's failed. Time to move on from him. 2. Samuelsson…he was credited with 6 hits tonight but they must have been the most inconsequential hits on record. 6' 4" and 230 pounds and he plays like a wuss. All of his hits are typically along the boards and seldom are they made where it could really matter…clearing opponents from in front of the net. I know, the Sabres aren't a hitting team per se. But he's could be a beast if he started laying out some opposing players that camp out in front of the crease. Just a few checks from him in front of the net, where he just blows somebody up, would make opponents think twice before invading the crease area in front of our goalies. Word would get around the league quickly as well, that you might want to be careful when thinking about venturing in front of UPL or Levi, etc., when Samuelsson is on the ice. Right now, no one is afraid of him.
Mittelstadt and Peterka are each going to put up 60+ points……and I expect Quinn to improve just as Peterka is
We could have an even scarier offense by the end of the season along with a totally improved defense and PK.
Been saying for years we needed a goalie to steal us some games and upl stole us a game today. We had no business winning tonight but upl did it. I can never give up on a player again. Tage and middlestat proved that upl if he keeps it up will prove me wrong too
Win or no but 15 shots in a game with that roster is a crime, no matter how blue and gold are your glasses. They need to do something about that or it's going to be another year of misery. UPL or no one can't hold this form for the season, everybody knows that.
