Levi did way way better than I thought.

I’m thinking about his 3rd period more so than his 1st.

He is better than UPL, Anderson and Comrie. He is so technically sound, reflexes are amazing, reads the play. He is just gonna get better. His agility is tops too.

They tweak that Defense a bit. Adams needs to do a little work the next 7 months.

Levi is the Sabres best goalie right now… pretty impressed with how calm he is in goal.
Quick glove really quick lateral movement…

Nice!

He thinks the game very well, saw on the Panarin save, he was already thinking it before Panarin even shot.

Was he one of the stars of the game?

Biggest game of the entire year is tonight


Adams has put all his eggs in once basket …. Hoping and praying Levi is the starting goalie for the 10-15 years.

My personal opinion is that no way in hell is Levi nhl ready. It would take a miracle. I’m not saying he’s bad.

Going from college to the NHL right away is no easy task.

Again not saying he is a bust or going to suck. People here will take my comment the wrong way

The other thing is you never saw him bobble the puck once. Can you say that about UPL or Comrie? UPL's glove is horrendous

It will be interesting to see how nhl coaching helps refine his game… or maybe, he regresses because all 4 of our goalies don’t look good. Does goalie coach take the 5th and make him look like the others?

Go. Get. Irbe.

I aged just fine. He’s a goalie coming from college to the nhl

Yes he played a good game and better than other 3 goalies

Doesn’t mean he won’t struggle

Yep just one game but he played a great game not a good game. Allowed 1.6 goals less than expected.

My guess (and I know it's just one game) but I don't think he plays a game in Rochester ever. I was a goalie in HS and in College (club, we didn't have a Div 1 team) and to see the quickness and positioning he has is rare, very rare.

Granato will play UPL tomorrow and we'll lose 6-4

Should be at like 46 points after today. Was centering the top line tonight and looked decent. If he takes another step, I'm pretty excited. Would love for him to be a good 3C that can move up when needed.

Also, listen to Levi's interview if you get a chance. Dude is pretty composed as a speaker especially for a hockey player. Feel like he actually has a personality.

This game definitely made me feel pretty good, I'm going to enjoy the feeling while it's here

Savoie with 2+1 as Winnipeg leads 4-1 in Game 1 of their playoff series versus Medicine Hat.

He’s taken his game up another notch since Benson has been out of the lineup the last month.

Well after watching a 21 year old make save after save color me totally optimistic that we have a fooking goalie.

No AHL for Levi

I will now eat the crow. Sounds like he had a better game than anticipated and looked better than the other 4. It’s one game. Keep stringing them together.
