You only like it when it's in one direction though don't you? Tough to look in the mirror sometimes isn't it? 3 hours ago, spndnchz said: You don’t need to be a big body to make a difference. Definitely not, but it's also kind of useful to block a goalie's vision as much as possible and in general it takes a bigger body in front, or at least a tough and unafraid one, but bigger is better. It's still a really funny image to look at Skinner trying to screen a goalie who is simply looking over his head. That was the comment that started this, and it's a funny image and always will be. 1 Quote

And most of the time (in my opinion) when the racist card is crapped out, it’s because they don’t have the ability to debate or don’t have a logical leg to stand on regarding a topic. Look no further than politicians and “journalists” who throw it around so easily without wanting to debate a topic logically. It’s shallow. At least that’s how I see it. 🤷♂️ Quote

So, to direct things back to Devon Levi, he's going to be great. Really hope he gets to shine at the Olympics. Not long to wait now. Quote

The original post you replied to said nothing about point shots. I imagine this is a tactic we eventually see opposing teams try to utilize a lot when it comes to the smaller Levi Quote

He's listed as the exact same height as Hasek was (but if you want to be pessimistic also Carter Hutton 🙂 ) Quote

He's listed as the exact same height as Hasek was (but if you want to be pessimistic also Carter Hutton 🙂 ) I haven’t seen him play really but I’ve been working under the assumption his raw ability/athleticism is frankly off the charts. It has to be, will need to be, to succeed at his size at the NHL level. He needs to buck a very significant trend, even more prominent nowadays. That’s the path to being the next Saros. Levi’s numbers are *ridiculous* right now. Historically so. We can ask ourselves how he could possibly be ranked as low as 5th on even the SABRES individual prospect list, never mind the league’s, with numbers that insanely good. The only answer is it’s a mark of how much of a statical trend he needs to overcome due to his size. If he was a few inches taller, he’d be the A prospect in all of hockey IMO Edited February 9, 2022 by Thorny Quote

LGR4GM Posted February 9, 2022 Report Posted February 9, 2022 You don't have to always look over a player, there are other avenues to see Quote
PerreaultForever Posted February 10, 2022 Report Posted February 10, 2022 Goalie size isn't everything either. UPL's biggest weak spot seems to be high on the glove side. Size not helping him there at all. Quote
Flashsabre Posted February 10, 2022 Report Posted February 10, 2022 I have no worries about Levi’s size. He has dominated at the WJCs and College hockey. It won’t hinder him in the NHL and he isn’t even small. We aren’t talking about Darren Pang in 1980s Goalie equipment here. Quote
woods-racer Posted February 10, 2022 Report Posted February 10, 2022 There have been some really good big goalies Bishop, Luongo (?) Price . The best have been the most athletic and determined. Hasek, Roy, Lunqvist My two sense on how much 10 pounds and an 1 inch of height matter. Quote
