Excited for the West ! Go Sabres!
This could be the trip that breaks this team. I know that's not positive, but if they can't get it together they're in trouble.
I just don't have faith in UPL. Sure he plays well when the defense is structured but there is no way he'll be successful in the playoffs. I'm watching Levi in Rochester tonight and I can't quite put my finger on it but he's changed something. I do know a goalie that goes down on every shot and/or overplays the puck is a sign they lost their confidence. But if I hear that Seamus Kotyk or Mike Bales has been trying to change the way Levi plays I'm going to have kittens.
Let's Go!
Tage's recent comments on why this team loses speaks volumes about this roster. He basically said they think they're better than they are. They win a few games and stop doing the basics and think they can win on talent alone.
I blame half of Levi's struggles on Ruff's poor handling of him, having him sit for 2 weeks twice without playing. Also the Sabres shit the bed in about 4 of Levi's appearances, total team collapse.
Who's leading this team? It seems being named captain has put added pressure on Dahls.
Go Sabres!
3-0 Sabres
In my opinion you kind of know who you are after 20 games and I think we are a .500 team. We could change though who knows
Goaltending has been one of the weakest points for this team since we lost Ryan Miller. Ullmark was starting to show promise, then he left and his game blew up under Bostons coaching.
UPL has shown he’s capable of being a Top 10-15 goalie in this league one minute, then looks Beer League the next.
As far as Levi goes, the longer he’s with the Sabres, the more his game has declined. You can see little fundamental and positioning changes and his games suffering for it.
Now, Confidence could be a contributing factor, but I’m going to blame the Coaching Sabres goaltending coaching staff if that’s the case. UPL has struggled to be consistent and Levi’s game is deteriorating under them and I’m sure these goalies can see it too.
If the Sabres don’t replace them and/or go BIG in a Trade or Free Agency with the Cap going WAY up, this drought will hit 15-20 years if we lose these two young goalies to bad coaching!!
I would rather them get hot second half of the season and squeak it to the playoffs playing really strong then them start hot and then sizzle out halfway through
I hope you watched the Amerks game vs Laval, Levi had a good game and they beat a good Rocket team. He didn't get a lot of shots but he made a few stops on odd man rushes that were excellent chances for Laval. Let's get him some work to get back his swagger. Go Sabres!
Optimistic, I heard Tuch is out 2 night ,Rossen is in ,he should try the fun line tonight why not,we need #1 to play like a #1 we all know what a good goalie brings to the team ,we were so lucky to have Hasek,if I had a wish it be for him to come back what a treat it was watching that pretzel
Levi cant score
Thanks for doing the pre game Wayne .
Man something about this game is so hard to watch. Maybe its cuz im up late lol
McLeod is an incredibly well-rounded hockey player. Always in good position, great stick, elite speed
Was able to catch the last 6 minutes! Excellent – maybe Tage will play Saturday.
