St. Louis waived Colten Ellis and are currently getting this for goaltending: Binnington .860 sv% and a -6.5 Goals Saved Above Average Hofer .793 sv% and -8.4 GSAA

Gophers at Badgers last night. Badgers won 5-2. Zelenov got his pocket picked for a breakaway goal, but he came right back and picked up a primary assist. Teammate Kukkonen (Ducks) did a great job delaying a dump-in and attracting attention. Zelenov sped to the corner and passed to the unmarked Badger in the slot. Osburn had 6 shots on goal. Ziemer scored a tap-in on a nice cross-crease feed. They'll complete the Madison set on 11/1.

Yes, he has skill and he looks like a smart player but he was not ready to physically engage in the game at this level yet. He minded his position and was responsible defensively but he really hesitates to possess the puck and that has to be part of his game at some point. He did manage to get a few shots on net though. Greenway is by far more valuable to the team right now. Östlund still has a chance to play in the NHL, but I would not be against packaging him if a good trade opportunity arises. Östlund is still young, will not be 22 until March, so more Rochester time for him is a good thing. I would prefer to see Helenius if there is another opportunity to call up a forward.

You spelled Fox “News” wrong.

Peters coaching 15 and under, what can go wrong? That is a tough age to handle, and Peters is a child himself. I am shocked that Peters ever got that job. I would be concerned about both his hockey chops and his leadership influence on that age group. Then I saw who was running the club.

I listen to the pod only because of Rivet. I think I mentioned before Rivet plays the buffoon but is actually personable and has real passion for hockey and the team. Peters thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, and that's the real joke. Lost all respect for him after this...

So Ellis is the decoy?

UPL was the back up.

And Karmanos came to keep him company ?

Does anyone know who the backup goalie was in the Boston game? I missed the very start. I was thinking Boston would be a good game for Ellis to play. Is the Ellis back problem gone?

Fake news …… CNN? .. He’ll be up by mid season. Probably sooner

Yes, after the first Boston goal and after the 3rd Boston goal. The Bruins 1st and 4th line played good, he rest of that team is dreadful, but the Sabres refused to step on the gas peddle.

The coaches are not top quality.

who is playing better this year than they did at the end of last season? Benson, and Kozak, and ...

Judging by the length of this thread I think he hit something.

Here is the quote from the Athletic. (sorry, paywall.) This story came out before Ellis being claimed. Was that the straw? Levi doesn’t mind the added competition. In fact, competition, he says, is his favorite part of his position. “I want the challenge,” Levi said. “This is all you can ask for. It’s great to be able to find a way through adversity. It makes me excited. I’m excited to come to the rink and prove to myself and to everyone what I’m capable of.” https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6645240/2025/09/19/sabres-training-camp-levi-ruff-samuelsson/?source=emp_shared_article

He has an audience. Enough of one where he can sell ads. Seneca Casino is a big one, which is ironic since they are one of the Sabres big sponsors too. He's also pretty abusive toward Craig Rivet. I don't get why he puts up with it.

Peter’s is a literal idiot and he has great animosity toward the Sabres because they canned his show. There is no reason to take anything he says about the Sabres seriously.

How you saw it is how I saw it. I'm not saying that anyone who takes the opposite view is wrong because one's perception is one's perception. What I found disturbing is the play of Dahlin and Tage. As I previously stated, it's obvious that both players are pressing and trying to force the issue instead of letting the game come to them. And it's becoming a pattern of play that's becoming noticeable.

One of Levi's first interviews was that he loves competition in net for the goalie position, Peters is just full of BS.

If Levi was a better goalie he would be playing, sadly he is only good at the lower level.

I just listened to the ATW pod that talks about Levi. First thing Peters says is "I don't care if is accurate." Okay. People who throw Molotov cocktails usually aren't worried about accuracy either. As long as something catches fire.

I think he’d look great in a Sharks jersey, the sound of the ocean gently rolling on to the beach would go a long way in soothing his mind.
