GDT: Rangers at Sabres-03-31 7:00PM Levi debuts

[CallawaySabres]

At least we don't have to dread OT and shootouts anymore....I think

[Indabuff]

Could you imagine a shootout?

[LGR4GM]

These are really slooooooooooow whistles when pucks get covered 

[Nitro60]

Like to see some aggression on the PK.  Pressure the puck handler into a turn over.  

[HumanSlinky39]

My wishlist for next year is no more Bryson or Olofsson. Jokiharju is almost there, too.

Clustering like that is not smart.

Our guys never turn to face the opposition and take the man, but rather turn their backs to find the puck....pet peeve of mine.

Just in general we seem to have a tendency to swarm in both ends of the ice. Sometimes it feels like I’m watching kids play soccer.
 

I know we need to play better defense but we also seem to collapse in the defensive zone as the game goes on. It’s when that happens things start to go south quickly.

The Sabres need to grow up at home.  Kill this and score two quickies to put them away.  
 

Who is go8ng to step up?  

Never seen a team that hated it's home ice as much as this one. Good Lord...

[Kr632]

Refs trying to make NFL refs look good

[Stads]

Dahlin tried to clear the puck earlier. It went off Panarin and went out of play. Why does the face-off stay in the defensive zone?

Fatigue.

[Thorner]

Not a penalty, Jeff 

[Sabres73]

I thought it was a penalty, but after the replay I think it was good defence

[Pimlach]

That was stick to stick.  Called right for a change.  Against us. 

[LGR4GM]

Why the *****! Is the jost line out there after an icing!!!!

[Thorner]

Fun game 

Big save 

[Pimlach]

Too much passing.  Put shots on this goalie.  Challenge him.  We are giving him a break by not shooting.   

[LGR4GM]

18-7 shots against in the 3rd right now. Wake up!

[Thorner]

Big game, fun save 

[Nitro60]

Levi is playing like a vet instead of a green kid.  His future is bright.  Hope Adams gets two rock solid defensemen in the off season 

[HumanSlinky39]

Come on, guys...Devon deserves this W. Score.

Hopes are extremely high.  I would prefer he played a few games in Rochester first, but the circumstances are what they are.  

These games will help Levi gain experience & an understanding of the league. He is centered & mature enough to develop at appropriate levels. He has stayed back a few times for his development. 
 

Looking forward to seeing him & team in front of him. 
 

Greenway, TNT, & Muel are all progressing - game time decisions…..

[Thorner]

Nah, I wanna see Levi in OT and the SO. Win it there 

[Spoonman]

Team needs to learn how to find that next gear in games like this.

[ExWNYer]

They'd better wake up or they're going to hang an undeserved 'L' on the kid in his debut.
