Stuff like this never happens any more and it’s not going to happen here.

But I don’t trust the Amerks goaltending and there’s nothing I’d love to see more than UPL on a Cinderella run.

Quite true. I believe UPL would get buried in the playoffs. 

As shaky as the goaltending is ... go with the goalies who helped get you in the playoffs. They are used to this level of hockey. Live and die with them.

IF IF IF Taylor actually plays UPL for a game, he has two games after tonight to see him against AHL talent.

What if UPL is the next Barrasso and takes the NHL by storm next year with Calder AND Vezina wins?

[Derrico]

He had a heck of a year in the OHL.  Goalies usually take forever to develop but he has to be a top 5 goalie prospect right now I would think.

From everything I’ve read, he is the consensus top goalie prospect in the world.

Would it be fair to say that he's....

[Derrico]

I think he's got to be on the big club next year. He finds a way to contribute.

[Brawndo]

Amerks lose and clinch second place in the North Division and a first round match up with Toronto.

Should Taylor give UPL a period or two tomorrow in Belleville?

Amerks clinched. Why not ...

Might impress.

[Brawndo]

Matiej Pekar is no longer practicing with the Amerks per Lets Go Amerks Twitter. Anyone have any idea what’s going on with him? 

 

Also Wedgewood did not make the trip to Belleville and quite a few Players from the Cyclones including Glotov were called up, hopefully UPL gets some playing time today

[pastajoe]

Belleville still fighting for playoffs. Tied with Cleveland for 4th. Both play today.

Nice, great confidence builder. They know he can go in if needed.

[Huckleberry]

I still say if he outshines Hutton and Ullmark in camp he will get his shot.
