UPL blows another game for the Sabres. Lets in his 4 goals and everything in the shootout, again. Capitals made a fool out of him on two shots in overtime. Just the worst goaltending I've ever seen. PLEASE send him away.

Get a goalie!
This is what they have been doing all year.
They still cannot close out games in the 3rd with a lead.
That's what has me a little worried going forward. They haven't gotten any better playing with a 3rd period lead. There's been no improvement in the stupid amount of odd man rushes they give up game after game. An NHL quality goalie will help a lot but it won't solve everything. Is what Granato coaching not working or the players just not executing? Or are they just not good enough on D? I already know the answer to that but they still should not be giving up so many 2 and 3 on 1's. I hope this is just a talent problem and not a coaching problem.
I swear to Allah. If they run it back because "they're close!" I'm gonna be very disappointed.
Get some solid D. Get some better bottom 6 forwards.
And for the love of God, upgrade the inevitable UPL/ Comrie tandem
An upgrade from Comrie, who I had high hopes for, shouldn't be hard. The question is is the upgrade enough.
I would target someone like Semyon Varlamov, who is older but still a good goalie. That way, he doesn't block Levi. Because expecting Levi to play next year and have a major role is a recipe for disaster.
But I totally expect the Sabres to expect UPL to take another step and lean into him.
G Levi signs his entry level 3 year deal.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
It was the only way, or he would have walked.
Such is the danger with drafting college athletes now. Unless they come out right away, they earn leverage.
It's a loophole that should be closed. But I don't blame athletes like Levi for exploiting it
The Sabres also had to max out bonuses and such to get him as well

Does he have to play 10 games like a skater to get a season under his belt?
Throw him in there. Lets see what they've got.

Cool. Laying an egg against a bad team in a must win.
Cool cool cool cool
