He has definitely looked awkward once he's down. Teams will eventually pick up on this and attack it.

Only that once he's down and out, he does very unconventional and unpredictable stuff to try and make the save.I agree with you Jame but at the same time, I have much less fear of initial shots getting through him or rebounds coming out. He does seem very awkward once he's down and I'm sure the more he plays, the more teams will have a chance to put a book together on his exploits.

Eichel jumping on top of him didn't help him recover during the scramble that led to the goal against vs the Isles.
And watching some video of his play in Sweden in 13/14, I don't know that recovering from the hip surgery is leading to the falling on his butt after making a BF save.
He seems to be a flopper when it comes to secondary saves as a general rule.
Given that he is so good at rebound control and that changing that part of a goalie's game can be tough, it will be interesting to see if that is something that changes with his game over time, or not.
Right now, Ullmark isn't what I like to call a calm, quiet goalie. And I don't know if he ever will be.
Funny, Bylsma said the exact opposite in Vogl's piece
Quote: "Calm, cool, collected demeanor in net. He came up big. He had three or four really big saves in the third that he made look easy."
Eh looks to me that he's just a bit jittery. Over plays the puck a bit on the 2nd shot so, if there's a third, he's out of position or resetting. His puck handling isn't great either, seemingly for the same reason. He just doesn't make great decisions when he comes out to play it. Typically, safe decisions but not great or as productive as possible.

FWIW, listening to Paul Hamilton, I don't believe the sabres coaching staff or management was as down on Johnson's play as the fan base. If that's true, I'm not going to be surprised to see getting half the games going forward.It's clear he is THE choice and the right option right now at this time.

Listening to Hamilton the last couple weeks talking about the goaltending was like being in an alternate universe. He would argue with the WGR guys (any show) that Johnson wasn't at fault. Then he would challenge them to point out what saves he should have had? That it was almost all on the defense. If the coaching staff and Murray share that position. That would be troubling.
