The BN has a story implying that UPL could overcome the numerous errors the Sabres made, especially once they tied it up and took a lead. I missed the second period but the Sabres looked bad in the game re-cap (highlights).
UPL is not making nearly enough big saves, no doubt about it. His positioning is poor, rebound control bad, his confidence looks shot. But the entire team defense is terrible too. One game without Dahlin and you see the weaknesses in Bryson, Samuelsson, and Byram. Let’s not leave out the forwards who are slow getting back and who constantly lose puck battles.
They can’t trade and fire all the players, but it’s far past the time to look at the coaches and the guy that built this roster.
