No. He flat out refused to play for them.  He backed up 1 only because the Sabres didn't have anyone else healthy to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Anybody who still thinks Levi needs to spend some time in Roch needs to get their head examined. Wether they make the playoffs or not, this past week feels like a turning point for the franchise.  Boy what a difference a goalie makes.  6 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. That's why I said "if the other teams keep winning." But I will say that playing Levi B2B is a very bold move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanSlinky39 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Admittedly, when Power went out for the shootout, I audibly said "WTF, Meatballs?" Then I mumbled, "shut up, idiot." 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think playing this past season in college has helped his game? Maybe he wouldn't be this effective had he not played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Balls Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Devon Levi....."I've always had the fire, ever since I was a kid". Dude....you're still a kid and you're making some noise against men. He is such a humble kid. I think I have a new man, well... young man crush. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just that his approach seemed so casual that made it a little unique. It appeared that the puck moved backwards when he pulled it from his backhand to his forehand. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 I am staunchly opposed to playing goalies back-to-back nights, or at least I think I am. Not sure what I'd do tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 4 minutes ago, Scottysabres said: Mitts has come a long way from the middle of last season for sure. 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. The key appears to have been getting him on a line without VO. Before he filled in for Tage at center on the top line I would have said playing him at wing was another key, but he is proving me wrong about being able to be an effective centerman. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just that his approach seemed so casual that made it a little unique. The puck has to continually move toward the goalline and Power, as he cut across, moved it backwards. This happens often in tight as guys deke to shoot but his was pretty long and exaggerated and the puck definitely moved pretty distinctly the wrong way and with the way his feet were it was REALLY close as to whether Owen himself was moving away from the goalline as well. Like I said, I've never seen it called so push that limit all day long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Power Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 11 minutes ago, matter2003 said: 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) If the Sabres win out they will have the tie breaker against PIT if the Pens finish with 93 points. They'd both finish with 32 RW wins, and the Sabs would take it on total wins.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I thought he played for the Sabres for one game. I just remember he was traded a few times and ended up in Boston for a few years and played pretty ***** good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
