My hope is the Sabres can make a Devil's "lite" leap...they were awful last year and finished with 63 points so it's unrealistic to think the Sabres will make a 50 point leap while finishing 25ish points ahead of them last year but if they could make another 20-25 point leap that would do nicely...

Hoping for something similar to a New Jersey Devils like jump next year...obviously we will likely be about 25 points better by season's end than they were when they finished with 63 points so I doubt we will see a 50+ point jump like they will likely have, but I think a 20-25 point jump for next year might not be out of the question, especially if Levi proves to be as good as he looks like he will be on a regular basis next year. Some more development, a few key players acquired this off-season and maybe a new face or two from Rochester will hopefully lead to something similar.

Last year is last year. Florida has been a meh team all year. They couldn't even hit the net on the majority of their good chances

They are fast enough they should be able to exploit that. Why they haven't figured out how to when it's happened so many times is starting to worry me a little.

Maybe but what if this is who they are when pressure hits and it never gets any better?

Once again when the pressure is on, they come up small. At least they didn't get completely blown out like they have the other 4 or 5 times.

Agreed...he is tremendous already. Easily their best goalie after watching him for 2 games. He makes so many saves just look easy.

That goalie has played tremendously well and won 4 straight games, the Panthers longest winning streak of the year. Not going to lose many games with a .959 save percentage.

Thompson's fan on the one timer was appropriate. He was awful tonight.

That was a God awful shift to open the 3rd

Goalies are both playing very well. Levi is a revelation. Unless something REALLY goes wrong over these last few games, he is the number 1 goalie heading into next year unquestionably.

This has been a really good game so far...fighting for every inch of ice out there

Damn...offsides

A lot of people have died in Russia the last few years under "mysterious circumstances". That country is imploding.

Most ISPs don't really care. But VPNs are good to get around country restrictions for various things like watching hockey night in Canada broadcasts

Hell yes...he just looks different in the net...it's like someone hit the turbo button when he is moving in the crease...dude has next level movement speed.

Added that to the title, thanks!

Sabres fighting for their playoff lives...looking like Levi is getting the start.

Sabres have shown they play pretty well when they are chasing teams but puke all over themselves when they have a chance to pull away. Call it youth or maybe putting too much pressure on themselves mentally when they are in position to really pull away but they have played some of their worst hockey the games after they catch teams and can pass them with a win.

It all comes down to this... A win in regulation and we move within 2 points of Florida and 3 of the Pens.

2 straight games with goals...starting to find a groove. Adams and Granato are both in lock step that they are acquiring played with years on their contracts to help not only this year but in the future and typically younger players to fit in with the players already here.

The Bills has a pretty good one...put out an official Ranch Dressing of the Bills and Bills Mafia for dipping wings in.

Sabres are like Rasputin they just won't die Simply not losing to the Flyers twice, Blackhawks and Blue Jackets would have given them the points they needed

Mittelstadt is about to be a 50+ point player...don't think anyone would have predicted that before the season started.

Philly has destroyed us this year. The games haven't even been competitive. We have played better against the Bruins.
