Wow. Bad Fenwick means Levi was actually playing fantastic, not just winning because Northeastern was good.

Not just that Northeastern had a bad Fenwick, the other teams have gaudy Fenwick scores. They were making other teams look like the tank-for-Eichel 2014-15 Sabres.

That's what I'm saying -- they were winning not because they were good (they were bad), but because of Levi.

A modern day Hasek vs. [that guy on NJ that I can't believe I can't remember his name] story.

Levi is by far the biggest difference maker on any team in the NCAA and it isn’t even close.  

I also think Portillo is Michigan’s MVP and that is saying something.  Their in zone D play isn’t stellar and they are so O minded that he often hung out to dry.  He is sort of the college version of Grant Fuhr.

Northeastern has some good players: McDonough, Gunnerwulfe Fontaine, Struble, Colangelo, Jack Hughes But they don’t have great depth and don’t play a real defensive system. 

Levi is full marks for his numbers and his record.

He is more valuable to his team then the other two goalies Put Levi on Minnesota St. and he might have a sub 1.00 gaa. It is better for Buffalo that he is developing on a team that gives up more chances. Patrick Roy got shelled every night in juniors and he said it helped him develop quickly. Not saying Levi is getting shelled but he is getting more work then those top team’s goalies.

He is getting shelled. He stopped 59 or 60 against UConn recently in a 3-1 win.  In his last 6 games he has only given up 7 goals on 243 shots (1.17 gaa with a .971 save % on over 40 shots a game.).

I didn’t think it was that bad but the math checks out.😁 I don’t know if he will win the Hobey but he is the most important player to his team regardless. The future is bright in net we just need a bridge until the kids are ready.

Ryan was also was with Rochester for 3 years before we could consider him a starter. The Sabres have a couple years before Levi will be ready.

Miller played 47/60/63 games in 02/03, 03/04, 04/05, respectively  for Rochester. Levi needs his time to develop. He looks very promising.

Training in 2001 versus training in 2022 is worlds different.

We don't know this.  He could make the team (Carey Price) or he could go to Rochester.

Unlike UPL, Miller had a 920 or better save % all 3 full AHL seasons.  He probably would have been up a year earlier had it not been for the lockout.
