Good game

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Good piece here

I love the support Hutton gives him. Awesome teammates.

Is he better than hutton? Will he eventually take this job over?

That's the plan.

Wanted to bump this thread to acknowledge IceBearDude. Full marks for Ullmark yesterday who was simply stellar in net with several highlight reel saves including a few that were Hasek like. Between him and Hutton (AKA Sutton), the Sabres have gotten very good goaltending all season long.

This is such a win/win. Hutton at a steal of a contract for three years and having him mentor Ullmark who looks like the real deal. Unless Hutton falls off a cliff we're good for a while and then maybe JJ is ready for the backup role and UPL is the star in Rochester...

Should we expect UPL in Rochester next year?

Definitely

I say no. Too soon. Maybe Cincinnati. Or let him play professionally in Liiga.

When there was the UPL crisis, I reminded folks that goalies take a while to develop. No need to rush.

Ullmark still has a lot to prove, but he seems to be coming along nicely. Props to Botterill for turning around quickly what looked like an organizational weakness by closing Hutton and plugging holes up and down the farm.

I lean towards this as well...we're set at goalie for the next two seasons, and it would be a disaster to rush UPL and blow his confidence. We have a real shot at getting our own Lundqvist or Rinne out of the kid, and spoiling that would be horrible.

Any word on why he missed practice today? Just a maintenance day?

According to Vogl via Rotowire, he's sick but will still suit up as the backup.

Uh oh. this is how Berglund started.

The Swedes sure know how to party.

 

[oldgoalie]

he's still got an upset stomach from eating all that rubber in Boston.

 

[Doohickie]

They better tell Vinz to keep his goalie pads handy.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

He ate some funky chowder.

Which is also the name of my new prog-rock band.

That isn't close. Ullmark wins. Reinhart's chance was going to stop at the line anyway.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

It's still IceBearDude!

Ah, very nice.

It already *had* stopped at the line. That wasn't even a save. And it wouldn't have even happened if he'd have made a clean save to begin with.

Therefore: LINUS
