GBU The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - The Land of the Giants: SO Win in Detroit 7-6

[debaser66]

Levis postgame is hilarious

 

[BFLO]

G: Puck luck gifted Detroit 3 goals and we still beat them.

B: Power and deflecting goals into his own net

U: Early on Boosh tipped one five hole on Levi and then had that horrendous giveaway for GA5

I hope this rivalry between the Sabres and Wings becomes a deep rooted thing. Both teams clearly on the upswing looking to become contenders at the same time but there can only be one.

Me too but for different reasons. I think the wings are destined for a decade of mediocrity. Stevie Y isn't hitting home runs and hosing teams.

He's buying just enough wins to keep him from drafting top end talent. Hockey purgatory. That's why I love facing these guys. And they're named after our favorite food!!!

Man Jost has to haul in that pass

I really hope that the last 10 games or so of Tage is him being injured and not an actual representation of what kind of player he is.

Do you not know what Tage is? Have you forgotten the insanity on a nightly basis before he got injured?

absolutely.. this was a huge moment to see Devon Levi's maturity.. One, maybe two goals were his fault, the rest horrific luck as you said and rough giveaway boosh/jost .
The fact that he seemed calm and focused thru the shootout after all of that , the face off goal w net open at the end and also getting beat 5 hole was very impressive. This proves that he may be ready to play in this league without visiting Rochester.. Very impressive on a rough night.. Great response by the team after giving up some real gifts.

Srsly...he would be shut down for the season right now if we weren't mathematically still in it.

I think the lesson to all of our players that mitts certainly learned last year.. If the crap teams around the League are getting embarrassed by you, be prepared for cheap season crippling dirty hits if you want to succeed long term..

 

[Club]

I'd personally say there were 3 flukey goals against us.

I prefer my wings hot, not mediocre like Detroit..with extra blue cheese and sour cream too

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Marty made the point of the night........ Players cannot stop playing hockey because a clean hit gets made.... Esp. an open ice hit.

Today's players just go koo-koo when they receive a hard legal check. A Campbell/Umberger hit just isn't played through these days. Nor a Peca/Domi one for that matter.

Outrage immediately boils to the surface. Because......... the absence of enforcers means there's no real consequence to be paid if you lose your cool because you were cleanly checked.

Frankly both Raymond and Larkin should have been tossed. A 4 minute call was an absolute wimp out.

(Skinner never dropped his gloves. Casey got bushwhacked.)

that's on both..

 

[Jim Bob]

Amazing:

 

[WiHockeyGuy]

Flukey goals galore. Detroit looking like they needed some vapor distilled hydration to cool down, another win for Levi, Greenway looking real nice with Cozens.

Lots to like.

I think long term he is something in-between. Early in the year when team defenses are still porous and breakdowns are common, he will likely still light it up, and fade as the year progresses, until he learns how to play against the other team's top defensive line attacking him like a pack of lions. With his size and lankiness I will not be surprised if he battles injuries his whole career.

Naw he won the game...I think his jersey hanging ceremony in the rafters is still on for at the end of the season

B: Power and deflecting goals into his own net

I'd be curious how many goals have been scored that deflected off Power this season. Not sure if that's bad positioning or just really bad puck luck on his part but it seems like there have been a dozen of them this year.

I was thinking it's between 5 and 7. Which is still a lot.

he's a big f***ing target to bounce things off.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Ugly: Levi is now at .901 save percentage but what's worse is Comrie at .886 and UPL is at .889

Anderson has been our best goalie this season sitting at a .908 and he's 42

 

[truthbluth]

Levi looks ready to me. Of course, an 82 game season is a test, but he's the Sabres best goalie.

Couldn't watch the game, So I came here to see how people felt about Levi after he let in 6, and I'm relieved. Thanks.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

I was nervous even at watching highlights

If it was Comrie or UPL you would see some peoples heads exploding about it, but they are still enamored about the shiny new toy to get too upset.

I'd say 4 were not his fault, but my evaluation is subjective. Had UPL played the exact same game, I am not sure how I would have felt about his performance.

I guess I am just Team Levi.
