I still don't see him starting, but maybe hed relieve Wedgewood if he gets off to a bad start.

UPL isn't even dressing for the game. If there was any chance of that he would've been taking part in the drills.

Gonna get swept again.
I don’t want to hear Taylor’s name again in Sabres coaching consideration

Sad. I enjoyed watching the Amerks this season. They've outshot and outplayed Toronto but have nothing to show for it. Hard to blame Taylor for players not burying their chances and the goalie not shutting the door.

Smith has what, three missed breakaways and a pipe? Olofsson has three or four iron clanks. The hopelessness of the Sabres season seems to have infected their stocks.
And Redmond hasn’t looked the same since coming back from injury.

Redmond hasn't said he's 100%, just isn't the same.
Pilut hasn't looked the same since his time in Buffalo.
At least the Tennyson era is almost over.
The parallels between Pilut’s early-season play and Guhle’s early-season play last season, their treatment in Buffalo, and their struggles upon returning to the farm club are too similar to ignore.
Maybe the Housley’s are looking for a butler, opening a door seems to be about the only thing that Tennyson is good at.

If I remember correctly, Redmond ripped one off the crossbar like 90 seconds into the game on Friday. I think the talk of putting UPL in is asinine. People talk about development reasons—is tanking his confidence by throwing him in the fire going to help him? Wedgewood isn’t standing on his head but he’s been good enough that they could have won. Point the finger at all the guys that can’t bury their many, many chances when they count the most.
But on the bright side, Gordon Bombay caught iron in the biggest moment of his playing career and ended up being a great coach. So 10-15 years from now we might finally have a viable coaching candidate (who will also check off the mandatory “former ties to the organization” box).

The big hope at this point is the fact that the Amerks had a better road record than a home record during the regular season.
Hopefully they can go to TO, win two games, and force game 5.
If that happens, we need people to stay away and not give the Amerks home ice performance anxiety.

If one possible loss tanks someones confidence there are bigger things to worry about.
Game 1 was partially on Wedgewood. He makes the saves when they're needed and maybe they score.
Save percentages in recent Amerks playoff history:
Craig Anderson '07: .909
Plante '10: .935
Leggio '12: .876
Leggio '13: .830
Makarov '14: .907
Ullmark '18: .800
Wedgewood '19: .848
Not all on the goaltending but for people who are invested on the team they all see goaltending issues in the post season year after year.
It's just annoying because Wedgewood was great earlier in the season, and now all the sudden when it matters most, can't stop anything.

I’m just of the mindset that if even half of the grade A scoring chances they’ve had go in, we’re not even talking about goaltending.
But that’s certainly a fair assessment and when you look at the numbers year after year it’s hard not to agree.
As for UPL, I don’t think it’s going to ruin him of course. (I like to accumulate steps on my Fitbit by immediately walking back on the things I say). But I do think it puts a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders, including carrying the weight of the guys up front who aren’t getting it done. I guess it’s just the conservative part of me thinking it’s more likely for that move to blow up in Taylor’s face rather than pan out.
I do agree that if he were to get lit up and it made him worse off rather than motivating him to get himself to the next level (i.e., pro hockey) then he didn’t have the mental toolkit to succeed regardless.
Tennyson is Tennyson. Just get that guy away from everything. Re-insert Dougherty. If you've lost faith in Gosselin, put in a steady vet like Paetsch - they're 7-0-1 in the last 8 games in which he's played. Malone had a couple points in last season's playoffs...maybe play him on the 4th line? I'd put Tage with Olofsson and Asplund to see how that goes and just change the look.
You can't go back to Wedgewood in Game 3...can you?

Just really disappointing the playoffs are going like this. Lost all faith in CT unless he reverse sweeps.
