PromoTheRobot Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 A come from behind OT loss is more acceptable than a blown lead OT loss.

Doc Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 I want to see Devon Levi get a few games in goal for the Sabres before the season is over. And see Owen Power as well. 1

That's 2 years of wear and tear at the college level, shortening the time in the NHL by that much and further removed from (likely 1st round pick) NHL money. The only allure to returning to school is to win a championship, and that's highly unlikely to happen. Not to mention Buffalo is (not that he would, but he could) within driving distance from where he grew up (Montreal).

I'd assume Lukkonnen is pegged as next year's starter with Levi in Rochester. 6 minutes ago, Doc said: Yeah, I would.

You don't want Portillo and Levi BOTH coming out this year or next year and Portillo was a 2019 draftee while Levi was a '20. Need to stagger them a little which creates a little worry about the one you put off deciding to walk.

Word is that Levi will decide to join the Sabres tomorrow.

Doc Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) It's a good move by the BU goalie. If Levi leaves, he cancels the transfer. If Levi stays, he transfers. And the window to apply for the portal doesn't stay open long. Beyond that, I have no idea if/clue why Levi would tell the BU goalie his plans before he publicly announces them.

T&C Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 Lackluster 1st period... maybe some redbulls would help.
T&C Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 What a change of events... guess they got their redbulls lol.
BillsFan4 Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Wow! What a game!! So glad I didn’t change the channel when they went down 4-0! 😂 Edited March 29, 2022 by BillsFan4 1 2 1
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 Amazing win by the Sabres erasing a 4 goal deficit to win 6-5. Tage Thompson’s game-winner with 11.3 seconds left was one of the craziest goals I’ve ever seen. Tage didn’t see it as he was headed back to the bench for a new stick after he broke his on the shot. Wild. Then the Chicago goalie went all Jack Nicholson with his stick against the goal post. 😂 3

Of course as soon as I turn it back Chicago scores to make it 5-4. Great win. 1

He has not shied from anything lately. 2 1
