The same as many young players - consistency.

how utterly bizarre for the Sporting News to refer to him as the Sam Reinhart trade return in the title. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nhl/news/buffalo-sabres-devon-levi-ukko-pekka-luukkonen-sign-deal/ed8d1871031295536fba0fc1

So what does he need improvement on. I do remember Biron getting thrown into a game at 18 where he didnt react and move his glove until after the puck was in the net.

Oh no, Sabres are genius marketers. They are on the cusp of winning the Stanley Cup. It's all coming together. They know more than we do. It's all sooooooooooooo close you can taste it right? Right there. Right in front of you. So close, Like a foot in a crease.

Cheapskate failchildren sportsball owners who are looking to sell the team blow up 40% of (an admittedly somewhat poorly-constructed, and definitely underperforming) roster in order to save even more money.

A young goalie with limited scouting. After a little, the other teams now have their book on him. It’s growing pains.

You don't know much history of the league, do you? Yes, it is the longest running cluster #### in league history, but honestly not sure it even makes the top 10 in league history of horribleness and definitely not the top 5. And if current ownership had owned the team back pre-90s, the playoff drought wouldn't be a thing. A ten year streak of getting past the 1st round might've been eclipsable for this crew, but they wouldn't have come close to 14 years of missing the playoffs in those eras.

This press conference or whatever it was, how much time did it actually take?

No, that doesn't. But even if it did, that came out in 2022. The EPA has been regulating it as a pollutant since 2009. Again what STATUTE declares CO2 (NOT CO) a pollutant?

In other words, nothing. And the "fireworks" are for the sponsor who is giving you lots of money. Are you that offended by a corporate PR event? Have you never worked in a field that sold sponsorships? Obviously Key Bank, the 22nd largest bank in the USA, had no qualms over signing up for another ten years tied to the Sabres.

Goaltenders should not be rushed. Levi is very much on a Ryan Miller trajectory and he spent 3 years, I think, with the Amerks. This will be year 3 for Levi.

You are welcome to rewind the clock 30 years and come up with a super stable organization whose having fireworks over a naminf deal on a place nobody wants. And what makes it unstable? Well the owner has been bottom of the league in spending the last 5 years. Our entire staff is a bunch of yes men that ownership keeps doubling down on. It's the worst run of ownership in the history of the league. The owner keeps divesting from other sports ventures not named the Buffalo Bills.

Oh, I'm not writing him off. Lyons.

Well, no other NHL team has an expiring lease coming up. Dallas is next in 2030. But what exactly makes this situation unstable? Yes there is a question of who will end up owning the arena, but the arena is not going away. The Sabres have made no threats to leave, not overtly or covertly. So they will keep playing at KBC. Crisis averted.

The world is changing. All that once was is now lost, for none now live who remember.

Wait, after Levi was acquired, they threw him in there at the end of that season, including several consecutive starts, and he looked very good. What has happened since then that has him stuck in Rochester? Two years ago, it looked like UPL had blossomed so Levi was kept down to get more action. What is Levi lacking now that is keeping him in Rochester despite looking so good in Rochester?

You know the drill. Everything is stupid. Everything is a joke. Everything is a crisis. Blah, blah, blah.

From Wiki because I don't feel like summarizing the Supreme Court ruling and/or the further clarification contained in the Inflation Reduction Act.

Purely out of curiosity, which statute defines CO2 as a pollutant?

Heaven forbid anyone ever has any fun.

Found out my local watering hole that was closed for about 4 months for kitchen renovations ain't reopening. Which stinks. But went to the original establishment tonight for the 1st time and found out they'll extend my mug club membership an extra year; which is nice but would rather have the one less than 3 miles from our house reopening. And @Eleven if you ever do come in for trivia, it's now on Tuesday night. (Wtf wants to do trivia on a Tuesday. Wednesday's the day.)

Grow. Eat a sandwich. and score a bit..

Happy. I have serious doubts concerning UPL.

Didn't say it was planned. Said it looked stupid.

I saw one of his bumper stickers on a car back around 2012. It blew my mind. I know there’s a retro t-shirt thing going on right now with Reagan 84, but it sure as hell wasn’t happening back in 2012 for Dukakis.
