I forgot how bad UPL was on break aways 

Lehner level awful.  He has to save al least one of those two breakaways.  The skaters screwed up, but that is when the goalie needs to step up.

Krebs can pass but he doesn’t get to loose pucks quick enough. 
 

Glad Bryson was there to provide “a veteran play” on that last Leaf goal.  He is too small, no reach, no length, no weight

I don't ever need to see Bryson play for the Sabres again.  He was literally the worst defenseman in the league last year.  Undersized, provides no offsense and can't play defense.  Goal 4, he gives away the puck then decides to cover nobody in front of his own net

Literally?

Awful night for UPL… Needs a good showing his next opportunity… 

Not ready to quit on him.

I've watched more baseball than this Leafs Amerks game, but from what little I've seen, Johnson hasn't looked anywhere near NHL ready. 

Johnson the defenseman?  He was the best Sabre on the ice tonight.  Power was rusty.

I am not watching this one. It feels like defense and goaltending are still a major issue with an emphasis on goaltending but not in a good way. 
 

I was thinking that maybe KA has held out on moving VO to get through the Quinn injury. At that point he may be prepared to package him for a goaltender.

 

Im high on Levi and this roster but if this defense still blows without any systemic adjustments, and UPL/Comrie are still miserable options I’m gonna be pissssed!

nah, I dont like UPL at all, I don't think he's a viable NHL goalie, but he wasn't awful tonight.  He is what he is, a guy who can't stop a breakaway who's going to give up close to 4 goals a game. I'm begging Adams to trade either him or Comrie.  Carrying 3 goalies is idiotic.  I honestly think Cooley may be our 2nd best goalie anwyay

Only 2 of our starting 6 d played tonight and Power wasn't good.

That was the weakest group that we iced thus far, especially the goaltending. 
 

Ryan Johnson was good, one of the few that was tonight.   None of the veteran AHL guys showed anything (such as Murray and Rousek) to make me think they can play in the NHL. 

VO was a snooze.  Jost was too.  Bryson has dropped below Stillman and Clague IMO.  UPL was beat easily by several nobodies.

Cozens, Krebs and Joker had to play alone tonight.  Even Power appeared uninterested.  
 

So far Benson, Biro, Kulich and Rosen deserve a longer look. So does Ryan Johnson and Novikov. The rest will be heading home  soon.
