Hank Balling: Tracking the Sabres: Devon Levi

Our defense is ass magoo.

Defense sucks donkey balls.

Levi is legit

the play by Boosh on Detroit's 5th goal might be the worst D play I've seen in a long time. Up by 2 goals and you make that crap pass??

That was funn-ish

He has been good for a while now and him and stillman have been rock solid.

But yea that was a really boneheaded play.

I would actually like them as a bottom pairing next year. But where does that put johnson if he signs?

Ideally johnson plays rochester for a year ( first call up for Samuelson injury ).

Find power a real partner. Obviously get rid of jokihauru.

Draft 2 defenseman in first 4 picks

At that point im a pretty happy camper for the defnese

Wow! 4 games in 5 days to end the season?!?!

F U NHL!

That’s seems like it’s gonna be taxing on the players but it’s fun for me as a fan.

Adams is stuck trying to find a solution here:

Ostlund will score 25 goals in 27’ so can’t trade him

Rosen was a wasted high 1st round pick with 0 value

No free agents want to live in Buffalo

It’s not bad defense it’s learning on the job


The Sabres gave away:

McNabb
Borgen
Montour (turned into Sardarian, who the f is that guy?)

All 3 are pivotal players on their teams, imagine D corps with them:

Dahlin McNabb
Power Montour
Samuelson Borgen (shutdown pair)

isnt there a game or two that are make ups because they got canceled due to snowstorms though?

Levi let in 6. UPL is now garbage and Levi is the real deal. The goalies a few years back were garbage for letting in 2 or 3 and sometimes 1. Stop jerking off on a guy that has played 3 NHL games. Let's wait until mid next year.

He is a worse version of Krebs, it was a horrible pick.

5’11” 170lbs a perimeter player with no outstanding skills. You picked 6th rounder at 14. The Risto trade was almost great.

The score sheet didn't tell the whole story how the goals happened.

Just saying

You have to give players time to develop its not Going to happen instantly

Last night was very important. It shows we are not ready. If we put the weight of the world
On this Kid in net without a realistic upgrade on defense, we will completely ruin him.

I'd say at least 3 of those goals weren't his fault at all.

One things that sticks out from hearing him is that he doesn't sound the least bit fragile. Hope they start him again Saturday.

That statement makes Rosen worthless for the Sabres who have major voids in the roster now, which Rosen will not be able to fill due to his style of play, even in a few years when he is ready.

Poor asset management, over valuing prospects is going to hurt Adams and co. attempt to build a winning NHL roster.

I’m all for playing him out this year. We just can’t be delusional and think he will be the answer without an upgrade on defense

The Sabres play scared when the pressure is applied, lack of leadership, muscle and a player friendly coach will do that.

Have to think they have a good idea of what their strength and weaknesses are at this point. Let's see how well they are able to address them and if Donnie is willing sacrifice a little offense to tighten up defensively. We've seen a few times recently that they do have that in them.

He had a meeting with some players, captain's last night Not blaming anybody Just finding out what he can do to position himself better in those type of situations ( Teammates deflecting pucks in)

He's already asked the management for film of every single player on the team So he can anticipate what they do next before it happens. So hes ready .

Nice write up baller...

Levi made some big saves, had some adversity and some bad luck goals.

Keep starting him Sabres. Keep starting him (at home especially)
