Ok, here is the thing about UPL, especially tonight.

He is facing tougher shots than he should be due to defensive breakdowns.

BUT, that doesn't mean EVERY goal is excusable.

If your D-man has a blatant giveaway, or a guy gets by your defense and a cross ice pass hits him in the stick. the goaltender CAN on occasion get over quick enough to make a save.

For numbers sake, lets say the last 20 times the Sabres in front of him has basically 'hung UPL out to dry'...that doesn't mean that 10 goals are expected or excusable.  A good goalie might stop 60-70% of those PRIME shots. It seems like UPL is allowing more than that.

I can't blame UPL as the reason most of the goals scored on the team tonight.  However, I can say if he was better (not below average) he would have one or two more saves on those tough shots than he does.

You got me. One bad goal. So they are all bad goals now. That's how it works here.

We were raised on Dom. What do you expect?

 Trade/cut UPl and Lyon and go with Levi and Ellis - what’s there to lose by doing this?? Can we cut Ruff and Adams too?

Levi has been less than stellar lately.

I will add the entire front office, the entire scouting staff and even the strength and conditioning staff

Lyon

He better come out in the 3rd. UPL is toast.

If we can tie it, he can’t protect it tonight.

Give the team a chance, Ruff.

Is there a universe where 4 goals on 19 shots is good?

Yes, it was discovered by Rocketship 7 in 1968.
