Weave

Like I said elsewhere, this ***** goalie situation was manufactured by KA to kiss Levi’s ass. Im not sure how I feel about that to be honest.

They did for one game. It it was sustainable we would have seen it at others times during the season.

The main evidence against Levi is, there is very little evidence at the NHL level. As long as the coach is picking based on a performance evaluation and not a dont block the kid evaluation I am good.

You did it wrong.

This is game changing info for me. However, shots in anger during in game situations tend to be a different animal. Based on him being a wall in practice, Id give him the benefit of the doubt, but if there is any sign of cracking in game, I’d be quick with the hook.

Speeling are hard.

Was there a dispute?

He has. He’s shown he belongs at this level. Im still not convinced that he’s on our roster when we are in the conversation about the Stanley Cup. I think we’ll need to move him because he’ll require more salary to keep, Especially when some of the kids on the cusp show they can replace his offense. Maybe he’s the Patrick Sharpe that Sam didn’t quite end up. He’s a better center than Sam IMO, although Sam is a better wing. Ive said in the past that I get a Derrick Brassard/ Kyle Turris type vibe out of Mitts. Seems more and more to me that this might be about right.

We won. And thats all that matters. But they won’t get away with all the unforced turnovers against FL. Way, way too many intercepted passes and pucks sent to nowhere. That was living dangerously. Good thing Philly is a bad hockey team. I thought Looby and Stillman were pleasantly invisible for the most part. I also though Power and Joki struggled much of the game. Power needs to learn to use his body to separate pucks from skaters. He rarely makes contact and its gotten more noticeable as the games have gotten more intense.

It is April 1

I’m assuming we will run a 3 headed monster next season. Regardless of how good Levi turns out to be, I am reluctant to believe he’d be ready for 40ish games next season. It will be Comrie, UPL, Levi in a rotation of some sort

To the first part, yeah. A lot of declarations and determinations for a sample size of one behind a team that played uncharacteristically in front of him. There is nowhere but down from here LOL. To the second part, let’s hope we don’t reach a point where Levi is commenting on the fragile little kids when the games are meaningful again. We’ve seen that ending before…..

Meh. Comrie would have had the shutout.

Here we go. Hope this kid is ready to face alot of shots. Rags gonna put a lot of pucks on the net.

Assume Stillman is a healthy scratch.

So, what was clueless about Hamilton’s take?

(e5)

Gatekeeper!

Fixed. And correct. Mmmmm…… rum.

Maybe half.

I don’t understand why Twitter blew up today. 😂

It was hyperbole. Don’t be too honored.

Ugh. Internet. Lets dial it back here. We have one poster that feels starting Levi is a sign that playoffs are second fiddle to the GM. We have a second poster who said “I’m not there yet “ but I can see where it is out of character for a GM that much more calculating than gambler, and it was prefaced by stating that this is said with no idea how Levi looked in practice. So, you’ve got one and maybe a half a poster that thinks this is a do not block the kid move. And pointing out that it is high risk- high reward in terms of winning the game falls way short of the terrified of Levi losing “because playoffs” threshold. So lets dial back the hyperbole, eh?

Regarding the part you quoted me to reply, I conditioned every response with some version of “no data regarding how Levi has looked in practice”, so your “why can’t this be” was covered.

And thats fine, obviously. But it is high risk. And if KA is judging a 2.8% chance as not worth pursuing, PA is absolutely correct.
