Who Is Our Best Goalie?

Who?

Tough question to answer because IMHO UPL is adequate, even kinda good, at home but isn't close to good enough on the road.  

At home, especially if the team can be limiiting chances early like they often do, would go off the board and say it's UPL.

On the road, one of the other 2.  Expect most will say Ellis, but personally expect it's likely Lyon.  They're different, but the results there are fairly similar.  Just believe that Ellis playing a more controlled game gives him an edge; though can see wanting Ellis' reflexes to try to steal you a save.  And, should he continue to get regular action, expect he could pass Lyon (if he hasn't already) with more experience at the NHL level.

I have no idea, and sadly, neither does the coaching staff.  Ellis is the guy we know the least about, as he's only played a handful of NHL games.  Outside of getting shelled in one or two games (which all of them have) Ellis seems to be demonstrating the most upside.  He seems to have quicker reflexes and is more capable of making a clutch save.  Lyon appears to be the most technically sound, but has the least upside and the least physical ability.  UPL - very hard to get my head around his game.  All I can say is that he rarely make the save that he isn't supposed to.  If it's a breakaway, 2 on 1, guy alone in the slot, etc., the puck is as good as in the back of the net.  These goals are not really the goalie's fault, as the defense allowed a bad situation, but he never rises above it and steals one.
