LETSTUCHINGO

If Levi is going to be "The Man" he has to get used to stretches of consecutive starts as he is being given. That to me is the "see what you have" going on right now. I think you see Comrie or UPL in Ottawa. I do though like the idea of resting Levi against Montreal and having him play against a tougher Senator team!

Love that Mule is on the ice and Levi is in net again!! LETS TUCHIN GO!!

What would you like to call him oh great "God of Nicknames"?

I think we see Levi again and for the rest of the homestand. I hope they call up RJ as well, not a fan of Bryson.

What about this: Skinner-Mitts-Tage JJ-Cous-Tuch Grenny-Jost-Bens Girgs-Kreb-Ok

Thank you. I've been here since last year. I just read more than post. I appreciate all the insight.

I was in attendance last night, Benson stood out. Granted neither roster was filled with NHL players as it will be in the regular season, but he looked as comfortable out there as any on his line (our top line). He meshed well with TT and Skinner. His assist to Skinner was timely and spot on, although being slight of frame, he fought hard in the boards and wasn't physically taken off the puck. He has superior hands and displayed it throughout the game. He was an absolute pest and often extended plays with his puck handling ability. With Quinn out, I can see him making the team. Although I am a huge Kulich fan, Benson looked like the superior player hands down last night. If you didn't know he was a rookie or 18, you certainly wouldn't have known it by his play!

Unreal, has to have a problem with Dorsey. He one of the highest paid WRs in the league who just had his deal restructured this spring which included a 20 plus million dollar bonus on top of his 20 plus million dollar annual salary! Disgusted.

I do. Why does it matter who brought them in? Bryson is horrible, granted. Bush and Still are fine as the bottom D pair. Do I wish we would of made the playoffs, as a STH, absolutely! It didn't happen and honestly I didn't expect it to. With that said, if you can't see the drastic improvement this organization has made this year you're trying not to.

So Dahlin, Power, Mule and Levi don't count. Do we need another top 4 D, yep. Do we need a 1A goalie, maybe. Come on though, give credit where credit is do. 91 pts. out of the youngest team in the league is pretty damn good. Lets not look for things to complain about it.

Dahls!!

Sabres need to come out strong here, matching physicality. Guard the front of the net, skate fast and pepper then with shots! Let Go Sabres!!

Levi in Net!

I was at the game last night and it was the most electric the fans have been all year! Standing up for every save, drowning out any and all attempts at a Rangers chant, and then ERUPTING on the Skinner game winning goal! They way Skinner turned around immediately to point at Levi gave me chills! They played inspired/confident hockey with Levi in net, for me, it was the best game of the season! Levi has the “it” factor. The goal over the shoulder was fluky and the second goal was on the team. He stopped and had it, his teammates allowed the Rangers to gather around the net and poke at it instead of clearly them out. Levi should play today and if he wins they should ride him! KA and DG talk about giving the kids experience and time to grow, what a chance to do it now with Levi! It’s our best chance at the playoffs as well. Win, win!!!

I will be at the game tonight, can't wait to see Levi do his thing! I agree, STH need to defend their home ice and be in attendance. It is very disheartening when we barely have enough fans in the arena to "boo" out the visiting teams chants!

To me, they get cute at times. Especially when they are pressing. They can hold the puck in the zone very well because of their passing talent (vision), but don't shoot because they're constantly looking for the perfect shot! They NEED to put the puck on net as much as possible and work to rebound. Rousek was in front of the net consistently against the Habs and was rewarded for it!

Tomorrow!

Channel 2 News reporting Levi to start!! Let’s GO!!!

As stated on another thread, was there myself. Your notes are spot on, well done! My 12 ounce curls prohibited my note taking!

Thank you. I’ve been reading you guys all year. Really enjoy this forum.

KA also addressed the management of emotion in regards to our young, passionate players. Specifically in regards to a question about the home ice record. Said they want it so bad for the fan base that they are putting undo pressure on themselves and it been a process learning how to handle that added pressure to perform and produce wins. He also mentioned how having fans from other teams fill the stadium was disheartening for them. I can understand and appreciate that! They’re young and as I’m sure they know our history, they didn’t live it. Understanding how people are hesitant still to buy in again I’m sure is difficult for them at times.

I was in attendance last night and I am a first time STH, who believes the writing is on the wall that the Sabres are making the same type of turnaround that the Bills have done recently. In listening to KA, I found him to be genuine, vested, and especially knowledgeable as to the strengths and weaknesses of his team. He answered every question as honest as a GM could publicly. When the topic of Bryson came up, he supported his current player, while also subtly acknowledging the deficiencies of our current defensive roster. I left there confident that he will be looking to add a top 4 defensemen. What didn't get talked about was goaltending, except for the promising future that Devin Levi has.
