Levi on representing Canada at the World Championship, Buffalo's great finish to season and more
Buffalo Sabres and Team Canada goalie, Devon Levi, joins us on First Up to chat about representing Canada at the World Hockey Championship, the finish to the season he had with the Sabres, starting the season in college, having Sabres teammates on Team Canada, goalies being superstitious and more.

Funny when they ask him about things and it's clear they didn't do much of a dig on Levi's background to know he's played with a bunch of the WC guys including being WJC teammates with Krebs, Quinn (and Cozens who isn't there) or his teammates from the Olympics.

Peyton Krebs with Tennessee Whiskey makes me laugh, that's a choice. Not sure how that song gets you pumped up but sure.

Forget "puckhounds" or "shrimp forwards," Adams clearly has a type and it's "Canadian hayseed basic b****."

"I put the spider web on because spider man is a little bit of a goof which I am also" lol what a unique kid
Not all weird goalies are good, but all good goalies seem to be weird.

After taste of NHL, Sabres goalie Devon Levi returns to school, plays for Canada - Buffalo Hockey Beat
Goalie Devon Levi quickly became the Sabres’ most talked-about and perhaps popular player.

Depends on the guy but I think jumping from 40ish games to 65ish games isn't always the wall it's made out to be. Especially if you have 5 months to prepare and the S+C staff are guiding you. Levi seems to be a preparation guy and I'd bet he'll be ready. We'll probably find out next season.

I think the wall has much less to do with the games played and way more to do with moving from a school sport to being a professional. You can get pretty burned out both mentally and physically doing something all day everyday (e.g. practice, videos, workouts, etc) vs playing a college sport.
The nutrition and travel is also something that most kids in college or juniors just aren't used to. Dealing with the jet lag, changing sleep patterns, and having to worry about your own nutrition is a whole new world for most kids. Sometimes I think back to how many Ramen noodle packets, cereal bowls for dinner, and grilled cheese sandwiches I had through my early 20's and shudder (grilled cheese was considered 'cooking' back then)

The college schedule has much more of a routine to it. With most games being played as back to backs on the weekends and practices occurring during the week. The NHL schedule allows for much less routine as they can go from stretches of 5 games in 7 nights to 2 games in 7 with practices being sporadic as time allows while also getting off days intermixed. Travel as you also mentioned is a huge change for them, as most college travel involves shorter road trips.I think the wall has much less to do with the games played and way more to do with moving from a school sport to being a professional.

I agree there's a lot of moving parts involved. My hope is that Levi gets to spend the year in Rochester and the Sabres get a legit #1 but my point was that the experience and ability is different for each person and it's not quite the conversation ender that some think it is. Like the comment above yours. Folks can seem so confident in their opinion with so little information available to them. It amazes me. Lol
