In The Buff

Anyone who needs to can watch the AHL playoffs on 1 of the hockey stream sites i use. If anyone needs a link, dm me & i'll check back before gametime. GO AMERKS!

Levi's height or lack-thereof doesn't seem to be an issue because he's so quick & agile & technically sound, he can make up for it or diminish its negative impact. The real test will be when players start scouting him for weaknesses & they start going up high on him. Will he be able to adapt & take it away? So far in his career it hasn't been an issue. It makes sense why teams would love a 6'7" guy in net, but truth is most of those guys can't bend their bodies like a Devon Levi can. This game is fast & you need to react fast. UPL sleeps thru a goal once a night, wrist shot past his glove hand, every single game it seems. Yet he'll make the difficult save when u need it. If he could clean up the soft goals, he might be a decent NHL goalie. Anyways Levi it is in a landslide!

yeah he did: https://www.yahoo.com/now/nhll-sabres-craig-anderson-41-years-old-53-save-win-vs-former-team-panthers-053449056.html I've been leaning Levi or Comrie but you've given a compelling reason for Craig.

i wasnt sure where to post this so i made this thread, but who does Meatballs start vs Florida? Levi or Comrie? UPL hasnt been terrible vs Florida with a GAA of 3.04 and a save percentage of .909 versus the Panthers last time out, but he just played so if you're DG who do you start?

Joki just got tossed aside

great win!

Quinn's season has been a nice surprise. His hockey IQ has stood out, his vision & his speed. Not only skate speed & hand speed but his play recognition. He can change direction & counter in a blink of an eye. He's shifty & smooth & will only get better

If Levi were 6"3' does that go in? 👀 i'm just joking but now that i think of it

Yeah i'd agree. Its definitely not what we're hoping for. NHL average to me would be say top 15 in the league. But our goaltending has been so bad that if average is all we had, if thats what we had this year we'd probably have 10 more points in the standings & be in the playoffs. After 11-12 years it hurts that its really all it would've taken, just being average.

at this point if Levi becomes nothing more than an average NHL goalie... I'll take it. Thats how bad our goaltending has been. But we used to take pride in having good goaltending. It was part of our identity & we just got away from it... I hope Levi brings that respectability back. Some fear would be nice too! It'd be nice to have a goalie other teams feared playing against.

best defense is no defense i guess... maximum offense!

Had hoped it might've been the Goat but this makes sense too

if you or anyone else needs a link to watch it, send me a dm & i can send you the best website i've ever used. Its been my go to for all things hockey, NHL, AHL, QHL, NCAA, SHL etc Anyways i'm excited for Levi's start tonight. It should inspire the boys around him to play defense... you'd think at least! I hope its a good competitive game & Devon's debut is a good one. With this team it could be 4 goals against in the 1st period, u just never know. But i'm thinking good thoughts.. good thoughts, it'll be good haha.

besides from the visa, i know they were waiting on some of his equipment to arrive. His official team gear, and then Levi will need time to break in the new pads & chest gear before playing in it. Probably 2-3 days alone just to do that i would think? Wondering when is the soonest we might expect to see him

they should be allowed to get their money back. We want a refund!

the lesson these youngsters are learning will be invaluable to their future development. Trust the process, its all going to plan ps: rock 'em Sabres!

it definitely feels wrong because when I was a kid & first became a fan, good goaltending was part of our identity. It was part of who we were. And then like so many other things... it just wasn't anymore. Barrasso thru Miller to these lost years that just. wont. end. 10 years since Miller. 10 freakin years & we finally found one (Ullmark)... only to let him go... for nothing. yeah it definitely feels wrong

exactly. You're surely not going to buy him out & take a loss. You limit his ice time & work out whats wrong with the intent he improves. Or you send him to the Roch. We only do something wit Comrie if we bring in another goalie. Until that day happens he will be in our organization.
