And both goals were of the relatively fluky variety. One on a shot that popped over him and was batted into the net and the other was where he lost track of the puck under him and it was poked in. The future is now. Let the kid play, he can grow with the team. He definitely did not look out of place. Very solid debut.

Levi is going to be a stud. No doubt he will have some bumps in the road and some ups and downs, but he is going to be a stud.

It's crazy they had under a 3.00 GAA with under .900 save percentage...they must have been exceptional at blocking shots and preventing shots.

Nothing I watch offensively suggests any luck to me...they make other teams look silly quite a bit on defense and at times look like the Globetrotters on Ice.

When does one of them say "maybe this isn't going to work" and try something else? Most unstoppable move is the forehand backhand roof job like Kotalik used to do and not one of them tried it. WTF?

Why did nobody try the forehand backhand roof move? It was obvious going low wasn't working...

Young Guns just didn't get it done in the shootout...that's on them. Comrie gave them every chance

Ugh....I thought Comrie had it.

How are our shooters so bad at this?

Do you wanna dance with somebody?

Fair result for both teams to get a point...was a pretty even game.

This has been a fun game...both teams skating and competing hard. Sabres playing some decent team D blocking shots and getting sticks in the lanes...

Another nice play by Rousek to start the play at the blueline...

Stillman?? What the hell was that?? He looked like Dahlin on that!!

OK...that might have been an even worse goal Montreal's goalie just allowed so we are even.

I mean the goals we give up are not even ECHL quality half the time. It's gotta be so frustrating for the team. Work so hard to win games and then have your goalie unable to stop anything...literally the only answer for the Sabres is to not let teams get any shots on goal...no shots are safe.

Well it's all downhill from here kid! One NHL shift, one NHL goal...hard pace to keep up hahaha

Lyubushkin opting out of Pride Night... https://sports.yahoo.com/nhl-sabres-lyubushkin-pride-night-jersey-citing-anti-gay-russian-kremlin-law-195253812.html Many Russian NHL players, including Pens star Evgeni Malkin and Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, have donned Pride-themed jerseys this season.

Honestly starting to wonder if the pressure of knowing you have to score 5 goals every game to have a realistic chance of winning ended up wearing the team down. After seeing the D and goaltenders falter so many times it has to be mentally frustrating and probably exhausting over a long season when the same thing happens over and over again... Sabres make these amazing, Harlem Globetrotter like plays to score goals, the other team basically just shoot from anywhere and there is a good chance it's going to go in at least once or twice a game.

I am assuming Canisius got blasted in the first round?

The first thing I thought of was War of The Worlds wearing tinfoil hats when I saw these helmets...

Bandits seem to be playing a lot of close games this year and some lower scoring ones too...seem to be less explosive offensively than in years past.

Yup and he almost blew it in the last 5 minutes turning a 3-0 lead into a 3-2 lead they had to hold on to finish...

That's what is so frustrating. They can...just like they did in the game against Winnipeg when they made them look like a high school team that couldn't even get in over our blue line for 55 minutes and had like 14 shots on goal, but too often they simply don't.

They played a very solid road game. Defensively they gave up not a lot and Comrie was good when he needed to be. Easily could have won 3 or 4-0 today. I was waiting on the normal unmarked guy in front of the net or the typical odd man rushes but it never materialized. Now they need to work on playing that way consistently night in and night out not just once in a while.
