Contempt Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 1 minute ago, Billznut said: Usually the case, but they are in desperation mode now. If Granato plays another goalie and they get shelled, he will be second guessed all off season, including from inside the locker room. He has to ride with Levi I believe. College hockey plays back to back nights all the time. If anything it's the cadence he's used to and he's not going to be tired, he's only played 39 games since October. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashsabre Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Watched the Rangers feed. Announcers were really complimentary of the Sabres. Really good things to say about Dahlin And Power. They were fawning over Levi by the end. Great to see Mitts on this run. No way they move him. Dahlin, Power And Mitts get extensions this summer. Both goalies were lights out tonight. I don’t know if Buffalo trusts anyone but Levi in net until they are eliminated. 7 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the tiebreaker on the Isles...Isles have 35 regulation wins, Sabres only have 29. Even if they were to win all 3 games left in regulation they could only get to a max of 32. Sabres will need to have one more point than the 2nd wildcard team currently does because they are going to lose our on tiebreakers to all of the possible teams(FLO, NYI, PIT) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said we are a team that is coming on strong and next year is likely going to make some noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say a little prayer for you... Sabres will need at least 5 out of 6 points to get in even if the Isles and Pens both lose out. They lose all tie breakers so the only way they get in is to have at least 1 more point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnC Posted April 11, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Some quick thoughts on this game: Shesterkin was the best player in this game. Levi was not far behind with his play in net. Levi is the real deal. Not only was he terrific in the game but he was tremendous in the shootout. I thought Tuch was our best player. I would give him our first star and Levi the second star. For the game I would have given Shesterkin the first star. NYR's offense in their zone is East/West. Far different scheme than ours.  I thought Joki had an excellent game. And so did Power. His shootout goal was done in such a way that he looked casual in his approach to beat one of the best goalies in the game. My response to anyone who continues to be a critic of Mitts is simple: You will be ignored. He looks really comfortable on the first line. The Rangers are a good team with a world class goalie. We matched them. Levi elevates the roster. Great win. One game at a time. How can one not be proud of this team?   10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been several posts about what’s gonna happen when they get a book on Levi. Well, it’s a two way street where goalies compile their own books on shooters as well. Especially smart goalies like Levi. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed in the 3rd when the puck was bounced of a Ranger player at their blueline back in to their own zone, he immediately transitioned from backwards to forwards and the speed burst was incredible. His board play is very good, great on ice vision....ya, He's going to be just fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On what basis was it illegal? It looked well within the rules to me. It was just that his approach seemed so casual that made it a little unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
