[Vague Title] The Hope-ium Den

We wake up every morning.

I’m happy that the team MIGHT finally be doing it the right way. 

I’m also happy that I’ll most likely be able to score great seats for very cheap to bring my dad and daughter to a couple games.

Got a bunch of players with killer instinct and not the passive players who may be smart and skilled, but are boring to watch and don’t get Ws. Now they just need to grow

I’m excited about Levi, I think he looked even better than Knight in the WJC. To me the Sabres are supposed to have top notch goaltending, and we haven’t had that since Miller. Looking forward to watching him and UPL develop. I’ll be really excited if we get a 1a or 1b back in the Jack trade. 

I have never seen Levi play (did not see any of the WJC), but I also wonder where Portillo fits into this mix.  Also, did Levi have one hot tournament or is he legit?  I'm not suggesting this to bust anyone's chops - I really have no idea.  I had never heard of him before the trade and am interested to hear the opinions of those who know about him.  Same for Portillo.  I know we drafted him and he's in line to be the starting goalie for one of the top NCAA programs (playing with Owen Power in front of him), but I don't know much beyond that.

He was fantastic at the tournament, pretty much flawless actually. I can’t speak firsthand beyond that, but here’s some good articles:

He’s a very easy kid to root for.

And did it all with a broken rib I am hearing.

Best fans in the NHL.

Danny Gare, Terry Martin, Derek Smith, Jim Schoenfeld, Larry Playfair, and Don Luce were in town at a wedding together last week. 

It is now over 40 years after they played together.  That is because Buffalo is a great hockey town with great fans.  Young players will want to be part of making the Buffalo Sabres great once again, and it will be soon.

I've been eating healthier. One new thing I really enjoy is steaming Green beans for six minutes and then dipping them in Balsamic Vinaigrette. Yum!

Someone wants to be alive for the parade.
