[CaliSabresfan24]

Soooo... does this mean he's coming to Buffalo?

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Wait… I thought Pegula was cheap. I heard that Adams sucks. How can our future be bright if upper management is so inept? It must just be dumb luck.

lets not sound like Leafs fans and make the plays for the first time in 11 years first

 

[Dubi Doo]

As the kids say…Let’s go!!!!!

Pretty sure the kids would say...that's lit!

Or is there a new slang word to describe 'this is freaking awesome!'?

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Soooo... does this mean he's coming to Buffalo?

I guess so...

 

[Sabre the Win]

Should boot UPL and give Levi #1.. no one should buy a #27 jersey, it's like buying a #15 Eichel jersey.

Speaking of mask- i wonder what his will look like. I've always been a bit enamored with goalie masks since i was a kid.

 

[oldgoalie]

Great article. I’m already in awe.

 

[DapperCam]

Maybe if we play him, the Sabres players will actually care about team defense. I mean nobody wants to see a rookie goalie get shelled, right?

 

[old kummelweck]

I guess so...

"I'm told". You mean that's what Adams said at the podium? It's weird how these guys like to boost their bonifides.

 

[old kummelweck]

So.. some of you may know my wife is a professor at NEU for 20+ years, so I've watched the emergence of this school as a top-ranked private university in the US. I did not realize Levi is a CS major - that is an incredibly difficult school and program. Aside from the coop requirements, they don't just let anyone into that program, not even D1 athletes.

So this kid must be what we like to call 'wicked smaht' in the Boston area.

Condon used to provide skills coaching for my town's youth league. Interesting to see how he is a 'volunteer goalie coach' for NEU. Gionta had to do the same thing for Niagra until they gave him a part time position. It certainly is a passion for these former players that was to stay in the game.

He posted that before Adams gave his press conference.

Rolston was volunteering at Providence before they started paying him too.

Wish I had the bankroll to go volunteer somewhere until they could pay me.

Are we talking about Sabres here? They even didn't care about old man

The interview he did along side McDonough he went into his major a little bit and talked about trying to balance his school work and hockey. I guess he had to drop a couple classes because the workload was becoming too much for him with practice almost daily also. He said he'd do summer courses to make them up so I wouldn't be too surprised to see this kid finish his degree in a couple years doing it in the off-season.

Not sure that will happen at northeastern, unless he changes to their college of professional studies. BS degrees require coop to graduate. Not sure he'll be interning at any software companies during his summers, I guess I should say, hopefully he wont.

I'm not sure how he'd manage that. I believe his father started some sort of Robotics company though, so perhaps if he trains at home during an offseason it would be possible?

To be fair Bill twitted this before Adams spoke to the media

I hope he keeps 27.

Just when you thought two goalies was enough...

Most goalie coaches in the NCAA are volunteers because the NCAA limits men’s hockey to three full time paid coaches, I believe. That’s why the most you see is a Mike Bales situation where a goalie coach transitions to a full time assistant coaching role.

Former RIT goalie Jared DeMichiel went that route, was an assistant at UMass and is now at Michigan State.
