Buffalophil1948 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 UPL was pretty solid. Didn't look like he was overwhelmed and was in good position all night. Hard to win when you don't score. Puck handling was the worst that I've seen outta this group. Passing was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that, and besides, it was one of the greatest goals I've ever seen. I don't hold it against UPL; I thought he played a pretty solid game overall and looked comfortable in the crease.

BillsFan4 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 UPL played a pretty strong game. Figures, Buffalo finally gets good goaltending and they can’t score a goal. lol 5 hours ago, Buffalophil1948 said: UPL was pretty solid.

Passing was terrible. yeah his positioning and ability to track pucks looked light years better than Dell. Better than Tokarski too IMO. If he continues to play like that the Sabres may be forced to keep him up. But it was only 1 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 And now Mittelstadt is going on IR and "seeing a specialist." Another Eichel situation developing?! LOL He's out at least 7 days, but I bet it will be weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mittelstadt, a 23-year-old center, underwent "successful" surgery on an undisclosed, upper-body injury Friday morning and faces an uncertain timeline to return, coach Don Granato told reporters. Granato added that he expects Mittelstadt will play again sometime this season. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/mittelstadt-undergoes-successful-surgery-december-10-2021/c-328861000 Shoulder surgery per NHL.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Solid road win in Winnipeg. UPL continues to impress. 2 goals from Dahlin; Skinner scores; solid night all the way around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Looks like UPL is a starting goalie, that should raise the confidence of the whole team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Am I the only one who thinks Dahlin should be moved to offense? Kind of like how Edmunds is out of position at MLB? 6 hours ago, ALF said: Looks like UPL is a starting goalie, that should raise the confidence of the whole team. He's looked the best of them since Anderson's fast start. However he's just a placeholder for Devon Levi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're not the only one who has suggested converting Dahlin. He had a good offensive night last night, but his defensive hockey IQ remains pathetically low. He's been around long enough now, too. He has zero chance to ever be anything close to a Norris Trophy candidate. Not that kind of player at all. He's a bust, considering he was the No. 1 overall pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can obviously tell from my pic.. HELL YES! All of a sudden the Sabres are beginning to show some chemistry. Jankowski played a good game and setup the second goal perfectly. Cozens is a scoring threat and Luuk is showing that he has potential in net. The team is fun to watch right now! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spun Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I love winning! Nice burst out of the blocks tonight vs the Wild! TT with the winner and UPL standing tall! Solid team win! Keep it going! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
