That was 1983. The NHL is just vastly different now in terms of talent and player development. If I took the NHL 1983 all star team and I transported them to now and let them play the best NCAA team, the NCAA team would destroy them.

How else will they pay for the RB they plan to draft in the 1st round?

Well the 7th rounder thing is completely irrelevant at this stage. The industry is notoriously terrible at goalie evaluation so that doesn't phase me much either.

One of the things that is being taught and tracked at basically all levels now is pre-shot movement. How do you move the puck before the shot is released? That's why there are far more drops and seem passes that in the past. To beat a big goalie you get them to the top of the crease and then slide a puck far side (or even fake that). The other thing is shooting from a touch further out because you can actually spot corners from those angles. Shooters adjusted and now this big square up to the puck and let it hit you types are having issues. Dustin Wolf in the AHL is another example of the subtle change I think we see in goalies. Sure you can be big still but you have to move laterally and out to the top of the crease like you're Jonas Enroth. In the first clip, look how fast Levi goes from covering the post to being at the top of his crease and square to the shooter

Im not sure why they are using the Goonies music for the trailer but they did, from about 14seconds to 34 it is def the goonies.

I mean, if you can't beat the ducks we should probably start talking about who we plan to draft at 14.

Well you see America is an oligarchy of corporations so when one of them f's up the rest try to minimize the exposure.

You should listen to Biron more if you think that.

I didn't love the Rosen pick either. This team could have Wolf and Wallstedt right now in the pipeline with virtually no loss to their prospect pool. It's why I dislike the Leinonen pick so much.

The Sabres added a center and a goalie. If you hate this team and Adams so much why keep coming back? Also Detroit is trash and they added all those overpriced ufas you wanted.

Worth the watch

I think I am more in on this the more I think about it.

Power will be better next year but the truth is laid out right here. The defense simply is not talented enough.

Bold prediction, by the trade deadline of 2024, Devon Levi will be the starting goalie for the Buffalo Sabres.

Best part of your response is I called you out for it before you even said it. Josh Allen can be stopped, go cheer for the Packers.

I dont agree. Or at least I dont understand what you mean by keep it together. In the past the team literally came apart at the seems. There was no comradery or acknowledgement of issues and it all just bubbled under the surface until they scattered after locker clean out. This team is sticking together and they are trying to figure it out but you are right they are young. The leader of this team is Okposo and Dahlin. Idk what you mean by carry the team through rough stretches but I think the second half of last night showed this team finally kicked back on after what was 3 total dumpster fire games. Now if they don't beat Anaheim I might be more inclined to agree with what I think you are saying but I think this team has good leaders who are pushing through.

Are they better since Reynolds got involved?

Fully agree. They need to run the pp from below the goal line and not from the point.

He'll be in Buffalo sooner rather than later imo.

Lol this is just a truly ridiculous take imo. I'm over explaining why at this point, if you don't understand the process and don't understand they aren't losing because "veteran leadership" why waste my time convincing you otherwise. Team stormcloud seems pretty happy right now.

Bye. Seriously if you wanna bandwagon that's fine, I get it but I'm not going to sympathize with that.

Yup. All of this. Can I get a Comrie start now?

He was stopped in Miami in the red zone repeatedly. I'm sure we'll toss out the heat there. He was stopped the year before multiple times. I love Josh Allen but he's not unstoppable.
