at this point if Levi becomes nothing more than an average NHL goalie... I'll take it. Thats how bad our goaltending has been.

But we used to take pride in having good goaltending. It was part of our identity & we just got away from it... I hope Levi brings that respectability back.

Some fear would be nice too! It'd be nice to have a goalie other teams feared playing against.

that would considered a failure

The Sabres have had two great PK's tonight. Unfortunately, the were on offense at the time...

Zone entry is horrible.

Can you refuse a PP?

If Levi wins, the calls to add a starting goalie this offseason with vanish immediately, right? Actually asking 

Not from me.  We need a starting goalie for next year and we need to develop him properly.

Levi summoned his inner Gumby on that save!

On a serious note, I've often wondered why they just don't play normal line and D combo's as if it was 5-on-5.  They're really struggling so forget the PP and play "normal"

Can't see the game (in Rangers home viewing area 😠 ).  Spine like a Slinky?

[Believer]

Levi… Kickout

[Scottysabres]

That was a nice kick save. This kid is going to gain confidence as the game moves along.

Yeah i'd agree. Its definitely not what we're hoping for. NHL average to me would be say top 15 in the league. But our goaltending has been so bad that if average is all we had, if thats what we had this year we'd probably have 10 more points in the standings & be in the playoffs. After 11-12 years it hurts that its really all it would've taken, just being average.

[GoPuckYourself]

Solid performance so far for Levi. The defense has been very sound also.

Sure he can be.    But we don’t know that.  And we don’t know when.  
 

He would be a freak of nature if he is the starter next year and leads us to the playoffs.
