UPL costs the Buffalo Sabres another game in loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins



UPL costs the Buffalo Sabres another game in loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins

The Buffalo Sabres went into Sidney Crosby’s house and outplayed the Pittsburgh Penguins. However, thanks to another poor performance from Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, the Sabres lost the game. UPL getting himself out of control on a couple of different plays cost the Sabres two goals that they could not afford to give up. Sneaky Joe campaigns for this being the final straw for UPL’s Sabres career. However, there is a trade rumor that implies Kevyn Adams is not thinking the same way.

Plus, another great performance from the Jack Quinn – Ryan McLeod – Jason Zucker line, but a no show from the line of Josh Doan – Tage Thompson – Alex Tuch. And a quick look ahead to the New Jersey Devils, who lead the Metropolitan Division as they head to Buffalo for Friday night’s game.

    How did you not mention that phantom penalty they called on Timmons in the first?

    And as bad the penalty was, the fact that we never got a make up call or power play in general is disgusting

    Happy Turkey day to all… Frustrating game from sure. Minimal net front crash, one reasonable period and a very slow 1st and half of the 2nd. Owen NO POWER at it again…So soft and much the spectator last night!

    I hope Finland was watching last night. UPL is not the guy, he panics all the time. Unexpected turn over or breakaway he probably doesn't have it. Scramble in front of the net, he probably doesn't have it. Slow wrister from Dumba at distance, doesn't have it. But Owen Power would not be upstaged on that 3rd goal less than a min after we tie late. Always the same 2 guys sabotaging the team get them both out of here.

    WTF game were you watching? Byram deflected the first shot and WEAK ASS Owen Power didnt tie up or even better knock over Kevin Hayes on the third Pittsburgh goal!

  6. @robertlehning3691

    power gets a lot of flak (after that third goal he deserves it too) But Byram cant play defense when he isnt with Dahlin. I've been done with 1 great game 2 awful games UPL for a while now.
    at least the team showed a lot of fight in the second half… no points for only looking good for a half a game though.

    Stop blaming the goalies when 3 of 6 Dmen should be in minors and forwards play with no physicality without the puck

    UPL does have a big problem. Aside from his non-big save when needed most, and letting in a goal that typically should be save. To me, its his jumpiness. He is not calm in goal at all. What a difference in seeing Ellis compared to UPL and Ellis will not overcommit to a player but UPL does it routinely. The previous 2 games even though they won, he was caught out of position so many times. He will follow a guy right around the net to the point that he is facing his own goal. We just cannot trust this kinda of crazy nervousness in goal. The OP lack of awareness bugs the hell out of me. Makes me wonder if he can't make decisions in the moment. It felt like he went to the "coach told me to box guys out…so i'll box guys out", but he can't make the decision to take the guys stick for that particular play.

    go ahead tell me that third goal wasn't totally powerless his fault. He just stood there and waved his stick at the guy and let him get the shot.

    Enough is enough time to move on from UPL. If he does well somewhere else then obviously the problem is in Buffalo
