GBU The Good. The Bad. The Ugly - Welcome Levi! The Beast Unleashed! OT Win 3-2

[littletonhockeycoach]

I remember thinking like that when I played. the more shots, the happier I was.

yeah, we're f***ing weird. deal with it.

Exactly what my goaltending son has been telling since he was a squirt! (That's along time ago....)

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Levi and Comrie look to be about the same size.

 

[Cirris]

Levi looked great. Those 2 goals were pretty fluke, 2nd one could have had whistle blown

both goals have been the Sabres weakness all year. They don't box out the opposing players hardly at all. They leave the goalie swimming to find it and they're caught puck watching instead of playing the man, boding them off the crease.

This made me laugh way harder than it should LOL

 

[Howie Hodge]

The Good;

Nice OT win.

The Gooder:

Levi

The Goodest:

Rochester bounces back and wins v Utica tonight!

 

[Moncton man]

Didn’t we already do that?

Yeah I was trying to be excited about it but also the last what two college goalies fled for other teams?

Can he channel his inner Ken Dryden and steal the playoffs and come back next year and win rookie of the year? Let's aim high with Levi

 

[Matt Ress]

I think the Tuch hump caught him off guard

 

[VaporTrail]

It's April and the Sabres have a non-zero % chance of making the playoffs.

No fooling.

Safe to say this game was our Stanley Cup

and they constantly allow d-men (Fox on that 2nd goal) to pinch in from the point (maddening). Must fix this off season and in camp.

Levi was the first star and the fans let him know it all night, there were ‘Levi’ chants after a couple different quality saves

Even just fix part of it and it will help. The amount of time their entire 5-some spends puck watching and never look around to see where their checks are behind them is maddening.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Will watch highlights twice .Thank you team.

Didn’t we already do that?

That was a joke me thinks.

 

[Ralonzo]

plot twist Levi/Comrie in BUF nxt year, UPL gets the ROC crease for 50+ he shouldve had this year.

TBH UPL's game looks less NHL ready than Levi. He's really exploitable moving laterally, awfully slow recovering from butterfly, and needs lots of work on skating. I don't know that his glove will ever be as good as Levi's is right now.

 

[Jim Bob]

Some of the Levi inspired ones are awesome.

 

[Bendium]

Jeff Skinner was absolute fire from the opening face to his OT winner.

Skinner is underappreciated and having a career year under the radar. What could have been if Kruger hadn't crushed and sucked the life out of him.

[Terrier]

I'm a frequent college hockey spectator in Boston, including Northeastern games. I see Devon is still meditating. Om!!!

 

[Der Jaeger]

I liked a lot of what Levi did. Rebound control wasn’t great, and the Rangers really didn’t challenge him with a ton of tough shots. He got shot into quite a bit, which indicates good positioning, but also poor shot placement by the Rangers.

Overall a really good performance but he’ll have some bumps as he learns.

wonder if the new pads had anything to do with that. Rangers were shooting into him; I wonder if they were trying to take advantage of some big rebounds off the new pillows.

 

[Matt Ress]

Sick pass by DC but JJ beasted that first goal. Greeny beasted the second. Physically out willed the rags.

 

[debaser66]

The good news is that the Sabres actually have the hardest positions to fill already on the roster:
- #1 C - Thompson will probably get some Hart votes
- #2 C - Cozens is on a 70 point pace
- #1 D - Dahlin will definitely get some Norris votes
- #2/#3D - Power and Sameulsson fill in fine here.

What we really need to do is upgrade the bottom half of the D and fill in the forwards with some defensively responsible vets. These are the most affordable positions to fill! Adams should have an easy job this offseason. We will probably need an upgrade in net, assuming Levi plays in the AHL, which is a little bit tougher...

top4 D in age group is not easy to aquire, unless Johnson can step in right away

 

[DapperCam]

I don’t think the #4 D has to be in age group (Adams may feel differently). Power and Dahlin are going to soak up most of the money in that group anyway, so the bottom 3 will probably not be the same every year.

 

[SabrePL]

Man of the match in his debiut. 1st star. What a debiut. Goals who he lost were very lucky for Rangers.
I don't know prospects, and I was complaining Reinhart for Levi? What is it? But I was wrong. Great match by Levi
G: Levi, Skinner's goal in OT, Cozens' assist
B: Unlucky lost goals
U: nothing

Give Levi more chances.

Let's go Buffalo!

I believe the ages of every Sabre on the ice for that goal were:

20 - Power
21 - Peterka
21 - Quinn
21 - Levi
22 - Cozens
23 - Jokiharju

Which is completely insane
