Serious question---I thought Levi was going to be a stud into this season. The few times I've seen him he's looked good. I thought he looked great at the end of last season
What am I missing in terms of why he wasn't the #1 option all year
After a decent start to the season, he kinda showed why he was a rookie. Had some shaky outings, poor rebound control, etc. Then late December and early January hit and UPL turned into a madman. Up until he got curb-stomped by Edmonton and then chased by Ottawa, UPL had the best numbers of any goalie in the league since Jan 1. So we sent Levi to Rochester to get playing time while UPL was whiter-than-white-hot.
But with a few back-to-backs here, we've turned to Levi as UPL's backup........and apparently it's Levi's turn to be hot, as he's been fantastic his last few.
