Granato trusts an injured Levi over the other 2 clowns?

Interesting that he bought in Victor. Clearly we can infer that he is being sent down to the Amerks.

I doubt that he bought it. My guess is that they gave him a "free lease" to post about it on social media.

 

[TageGod]

inconceivable that you can obtain a vehicle outside of the city you work/live.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Not sure why anyone would be against Levi getting sent down to the A to get the lion share workload. It's not like he has been knocking down doors with a career 3.05GAA and a .901 SV%

This year he has won 1 game out of 4 and sits with a .892 SV%

That's not exactly a ringing endorsement to become starter.
The Sabres trajectory this year are for playoffs, they shouldn't be developing in net on the main squad.

I bet they keep Levi out long enough to send him to Roch for a 'conditioning' stint.

 

[TageGod]

They did fix their D since he's been hurt. He will get another chance

They don't need any excuse or loophole to send him down, unless you're implying its a way to "save face"

Call it 'talent management.'

The Sabres aren't a playoff calibre team. If the other players are still developing up here, why not him .

 

[Sabre the Win]

You tell that to the players, see how they feel about it. Their goal is to make the playoffs and management should recognize that and support that.

As to your second point, the players are developing yes but they are at a further point in their development than Levi. They have actually been thru the full rigors of a season and know what it takes to win. Now they need to enact it.

What are you smoking? We're better than last year at a point out, it's just taking a bit for some to get in the groove. Even Joki & Oloffson are better.

Levi incorporating the Sith with the Goathead jersey has to be one of the more badass mask designs. That quote is awesome, btw!

Pretty cool breakdowns. Levi is very good one-on-one and it's clearly no accident.

Not what you're smoking if you think these losers are a playoff team.

I still have faith in em to maybe sneak in this year but I'm not going to have a cow if they don't. They're the youngest team in the league, with vets probably too long in the tooth. More to sort out.

 

[Chainshot]

He made some good stops tonight and didn't look particularly rusty.

 

[Ace]

I thought he was exactly what you need tonight. Play well enough to keep you in it and give your offense a chance. He’s not going to be perfect at 21. Woll is a rookie putting up great numbers at 25. Just give your team a chance. That’s a quality start.

 

[sabremike]

Tonight was a good example of why the expected goals stat is really flawed: It had Toronto at 2xg but if you watched the goals they scored they were ones you really couldn't fault Levi on.

 

[Aladyyn]

And he made a couple of "extra" saves too, not just saving what he needs to save.
