Awesome debut. I hope he gets a good chunk of the remaining games. This is great for his development

Levi's mental game already seems ahead of UPL's.
* Knowing when to come out and attack vs staying back in the net
* When to stay calm and still vs when to step on the accelerator
* When to rise to the occasion vs fold under pressure (OK, that last one was a cheap shot--I think...)

Taking it game by game trying to help the Sabres win out here, I would probably give Levi the start in Florida on Tuesday.

you have to be careful, Swayman (14), Hart (18), Knight (13), Oettinger (54), Hellebuyck (88) just as examples with good-mixed results

Ok, this shit is just wild. I've never seen that before.
Any chance he hunkered down because he wanted to keep some snow right there in the slot? Interesting strategy
ah nevermind, I see they got the snow before he got there. Still, what an odd routine if this is his norm 
I love it

Good lord no, let's not. Let's let him recover. Comrie gets tomorrow.
The big question is....if we win against Philly, that game in Miami is stupid huge. Would Donnie have the balls to start Levi in our biggest game of the year? Or would he go with Comrie or Upie or Hometown Craig.

You gotta go with Anderson in that scenario in that position.

Meditation is not really odd, good for him if it keeps his mind in a good place. If everyone practiced 15 mins of meditation a day the world might be a better place.Any chance he hunkered down because he wanted to keep some snow right there in the slot? Interesting strategy
we should most certainly be playing Levi. He played a must win game, got shelled in the 3rd and actually provided NHL goaltending. May have stole 2 points tonight
He may very well be our best goalie. We probably need to ride him the rest of the year

The only way I’d keep Levi off the ice in Florida is if Craig is healthy. Comrie tomorrow. One of Levi/Anderson Tuesday.

I wouldn't even if Craig is healthy. Play the best goalie, not the hometown goalie

we've looked better than a lot of teams except Carolina including Boston.. They played VERY WELL AGAINST rags and it was luck and good goaltending that kept rangers close as goals against Levi were flukey .

Honestly like all of you I'm very happy the kid got his first career win in his debut. Missed the game (family funeral) so I caught the highlights earlier. Give him some reps to finish off the season, start him in the A. & Then I think he's got a legit shot at being a starter.
I for one, had thoughts coming into this game he wouldn't fare against a powerhouse of a team like New York. But I loved what I saw in limited highlights.

Swayman is the only one of the three sub-50 AHL games guys that seems like he was handled well as he was not asked to be an NHL #1 right away. Hart and Knight were rushed and it has hurt their development IMO.
I cracked up at the end when the guys started with the BEEEAAAST.

I just hope he has integrated knee cups, I see that white sock above the pad and cringe thinking about it being uncovered. Pucks hurt, man.

Every NHL goalie wears some version of knee pads. A lot of them wear them under their hockey socks.
