I'm happy they're riding Levi to start the season, the pucks getting past him have largely not being his fault. I think he's only been beat clean by Panarin who was in the slot and put a really nice shot on net. When they announced they were rolling with 3 goalies I expected them to have more of a rotation, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Whichever goalie is "3rd" on our depth chart would be served so much better racking up starts in Rochester opposed to sitting on a cold bench here. If we continue to have 3 goalies, I wonder how many games into the season before all 3 have at least 1 game. Yep.  UPL might get a start next week after not playing for a month, have a rough start before settling in and everybody will say he sucks.  Totally fair to him lol.  Trade him or send him to Roch, if he gets claimed, oh well... time to move on, they have their guy in Levi.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by how they deployed Dahlin last year when they weren’t thrilled with their depth D, they likely run Levi into the ice if they can Edited October 19, 2023 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive fully expected them to treat Levi as a number one and that means if he’s rested he starts. Get used to it Curious if they will share the backup duties or not. As in are we going to see one guy every 4 games so, or will they each play once every 8.

Very good Q. Hope it goes 1 every 4 or so, but expecting it's they each play once every 6-8. Which one sat on the bench on the Island? Comrie was the designated ball cap wearer in the 2 home games. If Comrie got the Aisles game too, expecting they've got their pecking order laid out.

That's the issue. The backup(s) will underperform if only playing once a month... they'd improve their playoff chances with a single backup tendy playing once every 5-7 games. I'd also suggest sitting Levi every 5 games or so, maybe even give him a week off here and there to stay fresh.  He's never playes more than 20-30 games in a season, he'll need more frequent mental breaks while he adjusts.  Edited October 19, 2023 by pi2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
