Yes, that's why I still have hope for UPL. First year carrying the load in NHL isn't easy. Hopefully he learned how better to prepare, stay focused and move on from disappointment. 

Trying to stay positive about him, it can’t get much worse, can it?

So was UPL Lyon.  The key is to have "goalie whisperer" Mike Bales get their horrible stretches to offset and also to recognize when each is due to go to pot.

'Cause THAT'll happen.  No, really, it could.  AND even BETTER ...  it's a PLAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

Well, it's true of Lyon too.  😉

I think by Dec 1, Lyon with be getting the Lion's share of the starts.

Wouldn't bet against it.
