Matt Ress
Don't sleep on me
Thought never occurred, " it's an NHL game, the intensity goes up..."
Up until Saturday afternoon UPL was an extra that went on the ice after the main part of practice was over. Saturday was the first time he was out for the entire thing. He didn't take part in any drills or line rushes.
>> Fact: the Amerks have a .651 win% with Cornel in the line-up this season and a .000 win% without.
Using that one!!

Me neither.Gonna get swept again.
I don’t want to hear Taylor’s name again in Sabres coaching consideration
Yikes
Redmond hasn't said he's 100%, just isn't the same.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.

Pilut hasn't looked the same since his time in Buffalo.
At least the Tennyson era is almost over.

If one possible loss tanks someones confidence there are bigger things to worry about.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.

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.
