PerreaultForever Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Well that was fun. late season fun game, has meaning, what more can you want? Rangers kind of only showed up for one period but that doesn't really matter, a win's a win. Great to finally see Greenway do something positive. Maybe there's still hope for him after all. Cozen's line was our best aside from what happened in the OT. Thoughts on Levi: He's very quick, agile, positions himself well, and seems focused in. Lacks good rebound control as most young goalies do. No surprise there. He has real potential, but (and it's a big but) he really does look small in there for current NHL standards and when he goes down and spreads those pads, he covers a lot of the lower net, but there is an absolute ton of high open net. Once teams get the book on him I see them shooting high and that could end up being a serious weakness. idk if he will be able to cover/adapt to that or not. Time will tell. If he had UPL's size, with his quickness, he'd be absolutely perfect. Keep winning and playoffs aren't impossible. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you gave him 100 attempts he couldn’t repeat that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmel Corn Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Having Mule back was also a factor in tonight's win. Nothing flashy, but it helps Dahlin and Joki is better with Power IMHO. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His anticipation and positioning were superb. As far as size goes it is irrelevant because his other attributes such quickness, positioning and glove work compensate for his lack of standard size for the position. He may not be big but you can see that he stoutly plays, especially when there is traffic in front of him. He's an exciting prospect who is likely to contribute right away. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint was I thought he overreacted a little on a few shots... but he recovers so fast idk if that even matters. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stads Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Other Sabres' goalies while watching Levi's opener: "So you don't have to be beaten cleanly a few times a game. Interesting concept." The two goals he allows are on the flukey side of life 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctaeth Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) How can you not be excited after that game? Strong game from Levi. Pitt has Boston tomorrow in Pitt, that's a game that the Penguins have to lose if we want to have a chance. Keep winning Sabres.. give yourselves a shot edit: FYI: Pitt finishes the season vs Detroit, Chicago, and CBJ Edited April 1, 2023 by Ctaeth 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great observation. There were a number of plays where there was action on one side of him, and then he responded quickly/instinctly when the threat went to the other side of him. There was little scrambling to his game even when the action in front of him was chaotic. You can tell that he is a student of the position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the question of... what would we say if we watched Hasek and the '99 Sabres live with modern communication technology? There would always be some folks would certainly complain that Hasek let himself get out of position and that made him have to do the rolling save in the first place. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
