   We need a Big Hitter to free up Tage & keep Zack Benson getting creamed.

   I would reverse what you are saying about Thompson and Tuch. Tuch seems to hit a post or a crossbar at least once per game. He seems to be involved. Thompson just seems frustrated, but both players are engaged. I'm not worried about either of them. I'm worried about the lack of a #1 center.

   Lyon on FRI, Ellis on SAT. Squires: Keep Bringing the Lord of the ever loving 💕 high energy chaos. They hung with NYR (Shisterken .950+), BOS, MTL, COL (NHLs Top team), all close games… And they beat the defending champs and smoked OTT and now defeated the current top team in the Metro in DET… Toronto is slipping, they are vulnerable. The Lord 🙏 ( minus Lord K-Ring) needs to strike with full force… Come Sunday be sitting at 5-4 👍 🏒

   You’ll see an uptick from Tuch if the Sabres are eliminated and the games no longer matter.

   I live in Toronto, and wear my Sabres gear to every Toronto event in protest of them flooding buffalo's arena. Stand strong 😂

   UPL: The problem here and now is that, IMO, UPL is a different kind of goalie than Lyon or Ellis. Ellis, we don't have any data on as it pertains to the NHL beyond ONE game. But Ellis is extremely intriguing, and at the very least an asset that you would want to protect and further nurture and develop. Lyon is the opposite from UPL. I don't even know what the ceiling is on Lyon but I see his production staying relatively 'even-keeled' whether he plays big Minutes or not. Lyon is kind of like Frank Reich in the Oilers comeback game… you look at his production save perc. and ask yourself: 'why is he not a starter'? You have to also consider that Lyon is in his early 30s age-wise while Ellis is a baby and UPL is barely in his prime. My theory on UPL (based on the data) is that: if you create the right conditions for him (commit to him as the #1, provide decent defense) he heats up the more you play him and eventually gets into a zone… A zone like last year 24/25 when, early in the season before Dahlin went down injured (and thus the 13 game losing streak) saw him win 8 out of 10 games, (saw the Sabres 3 points out of first) But if you pull him while he's in the zone (or if the defense suffers some kind of catastrophic loss like it did last year with Dahlin) he'll cool off and take some time to get back to where he was. If you give UPL even a moderately decent defense (which they didn't have last year, it was 29th ranked 4th worst in the league) and play him for long stretches, he will produce enough wins to get you into the playoffs, and possibly go on incredibly hot win streaks that span across many games. There is just something about last year, when the Sabres were 3 points out first place in Lindys 1st year back when Dahlin got injured and the entire team collapsed to the tune of 13 games in a row. The glimmer in that team has haunted me ever since, because you could see the potential on display right before the fall. That's why I'm not ready to pull the plug on UPL, it wasn't just ONE year that he played well, last year he was getting hot, and even into the 13 game losing streak the games were extremely tight for UPL… Heartbreaking one goal losses. But the wound sustained from 13 losses was enough to bury the entire season. Morally devastating, but UPL still had some of those flashes and glimmers if you watch the 2nd half of the season. So UPL theory is that: you have to start him and play him all of the time. Hes your Jim Kelly, Lyon is your Frank Reich, good, serviceable, ready to go whenever called upon. Ellis is an intriguing asset that you want to protect. I say UPL losses the job for now due to his injury, but if and when he does come back you have to start him, fully commit and play him most games. Unless the relationship he develops with Lyon, Ellis and the rest of the team changes that. Because remember also in 24/25 all UPL had backing up was Levi. Levi was given a lot of games early on, lost almost all of them and put UPL in a serious hole to start the season 👍 🏒

   Here’s the way I’m looking at the Goalie situation, and UPL in particular. The Buyout for him (if we include this season) is $1.5M for 6 seasons. That’s NOT a lot of money. That’s the exact amount that Lyon signed for. The way that Lyon is playing right now, you could look at it as if we’re paying him $3M and not be upset about it. That’s only if we can’t move UPL. And the most we should retain is that $1.5M, but that depends on the player we get in return. The better the player, the more we retain.

   Then by the time Lyons contract is up at the end of next season, hopefully Levi and Ellis would be ready to handle a Full Time NHL Split!

   Sabres might not win that game if Tuch isn't providing a good screen on 2 of the goals. Just saying.

    Tuch: I wouldn't worry too much he's averaging 2 pipes a game, hit at least 2 against DET and set up the key screen on the Quinn goal. Tuch just needs to recalibrate a few millimeters 👍 🏒 ⚔️ ⚔️
