This team plays more apprehensive in front of upl. They know he's not going to be able bale them out if they make a mistake. It's disheartening to them and after years of this they just don't try as hard. If we as fans know upl let's in soft goals at the worst times. You know the players know it even more.

I don't ever want to see upl in net again. Great move kevi boy

ka is too heavily invested in upl

Sounds about right to me

Mucky Waders Hate to be a Debbie downer, but we are one point from being in last place in the Eastern conference 😀 Get after it boys. Get the two points GO SABRES

An orator I am not. You said this way better than I did. This is what I was trying to say. We take a step backward when upl plays. We can't afford any regression.

I am convinced that the team doesn't play the same in front of UPL. I think he has let them down too many times. The team is just starting to play the right way. I don't want to see them slip back into how they played last year. Which is what happens when UPL let's in a soft goal. I was surprised they even made it to OT. I really don't want UPL playing any games. Play Lyon, Ellis and Lev. It's all on ka that we are in this "hope our goalies keep us in it" crap. I am so tired of ka's too little too late mentality.

Upl said he was ready and ka made it happen

Yet another "normal" game for upl. Who coulda saw that coming. Send ka and upl to the moon.

I also hope Lyon continues his high level of play, but... Hopes and maybes are not a winning strategy

Agreed defense is important. How long has ka been gm? I haven't been asking for a top 1-3 goaltender. Anywhere in the top 15 would have been nice. I can't even count the number of games where our goalie would make a great save and the team would be flying and within five minutes let in a soft goal. Players loose faith in inconsistent goaltending. This has happened every year since Ullmark. That's on ka.

I've been preaching this for years. Your goalie loses or wins you more games than any other player on the ice. KA is a moron.

Two days from opening game of the season and here we are still no true number one goalie. YEESH... ka is brilliant

Ka has had 5-6 years to fix the goalie position. I'd say we're in as bad of or worse shape than when ka came here.

Yay, Bryson is back in the lineup. I know we're down two d men but still. And we have a silly goalie rotation yet again. How anyone can take ka seriously is beyond me
