UPL is a legit #1 goalie in my opinion and this is coming from someone who almost gave up on him two years ago. It used to be that every time I saw him named starter. I thought welp, the Sabres need to score 4 or 5 tonight to have a chance. Now it's literally the exact opposite. His development last season was no fluke. He has improved drastically in reading the play and getting to the right position and it seems like his lateral movement has improved significantly over the last couple years. Happy for the guy and wonder where the Sabres would be without him.
Great team effort, it felt like in the end the team realy fought for UPL SO! Not the most excited game but it showed we can shut down a game! A 1-0 victory against a “ better team’ is just a great achievment!
UPL’s career so far reminds me a bit of Ryan Miller’s early career. Big variations in performance/results but starting to get the improved performance in a more consistent manner.
Sabres Live with Marty and Duff on WGR550 (Buffalo radio, noon-1 weekdays you can listen free with the Audacy app) and MSG. Need a cable sub or MSG+ to watch the show and not just the occasional 10 min clips on the Sabres channel. Pretty dumb they don't just post the full eps on RUclips. Expected Buffalo After the Whistle with Peters and Rivet
Stop with the Levi in the future talk. He’s has proved nothing. Not even sure he’ll ever be a good nhl goalie. He’s under sized and needs a lot of work. UPL has shown to be the guy. I know goalies take time but I would even consider trading Levi in a package to get a Top 6 forward while the league still thinks Levi is worth anything… UPL is thee guy and unless he gets hurt he’ll be good in net for us for the next 10 years
It is nice to see a win, however, they better not lose to the shittttty Ducks and Sharks. They need to win three in a row to show us they are a team turning the page. End of discussion.
UPL has been solid the last 4-5 starts or so idk why they put him in against MTL when he was ill, and the powerplay is like 30% then last stretch of games or so it’s getting there for sure

There was a good stretch where he let in 3. No more, no less. So at least he was consistent.
Holy typos, my fault, think I edited them all.
A wins a win and onward we go. Great shutout. Zucker and
And don’t forget that block by Beck! He’s always working hard out there
Better than okposo and skinner ever where as on both sides of the puck
Nice win. Joe predicted that we'd need a low scoring, 2-1 game to pull this one out. 1-0 is close enough. Good call!
He picked the Kings to win by at least 2 goals. His predictions are always wrong. He's lost his last 30+ parlays.

East wild card wide open. Next quacks.
Well, that was unexpected. Nice win! Maybe they will get 5 of 6.... STTT!
Big fan from Wisconsin here. Does anyone have any suggestions for other daily sabres content besides this show?
Haven't found anything good, although THG (The Hockey Guy) does daily NHL stuff that covers all 32 teams.
Will check it out. Thank you for the recommendation
Try the channel Roam Hockey. It is specifically for the Sabres.

Let’s see if they “have it” enough to win two lousy games in a row, shall we?
UPL + Powerplay have figured it out. Dude it's one game, way too soon to say that SMH

They will win the entire west road trip. Then disappoint at home
