[Lance] Don Granato said the decision on starting goalie each game is different now that the Sabres are back into a rhythm and competing for a playoff spot. Instead of a rotation, the Sabres will go with the hot hand. All signs in practice point to UPL starting vs. Leafs.

Makes the most sense to me
I expect we’ll see UPL starting most games with a sprinkling of Anderson when UPL is feeling cold. I feel a little bad for Comrie, as he seems good-hearted, but IMO he’s pretty clearly the weakest of the three.
The man put in the work to improve, and now he should get the ice time to show it. Makes sense to me
Good, best foot forward. Every advantage we can give ourselves.
Sad that’s it’s a god damn ESPN+ game
Yeah, this carousel of goalies needs to stop, pick two and ride them.
I think thats what killed us going into February, UPL was on a heater and the team looked good around him, comrie came back and threw everything out of whack. Not his fault, ofc, but you cant swap guys in and out like that on such a young team and expect the same results. Let the guys build a rhythm and adjust as needed. Big reason why the LA game went the way it did
This is genius. All three goaltenders are in constant competition with each other for starter time. This will only make Comrie and UPL better.(Anderson is already a beast at this stage of career) I love it.
