To the bolded, it probably is better for Levi to get extra work in Ra-cha-cha rather than to be a part of this tire fire that's gone to another level since he was spared from it.  But, still not convinced that Comrie coming off injury is better than Levi is right now, and IF playoffs truly is a goal, they have to have their best options for the net available.  

Still don't see why they chose when they did to send Levi down.  Again, IF playoffs is the goal.  If they aren't, well, there's a lot of sense to what was done and the timing of it.  But after 12 years in the desert, playoffs need to be a primary goal and they need to go w/ the best possible permutation of players for winning now; development be darned.

UPL has outplayed the other 2, but he still hasn't had consecutive starts of Sabres games (NOT referring to consecutive starts of his own) that he's won both games for a very long time.  He's playing like a poor man's starter or a very good #2, but until he starts showing an ability to get the Sabres consecutive wins, still believe he should be getting only every other start unless there is a significant layoff for the team.  Until Comrie plays well post injury, would have UPL getting 1/2 the games, Levi 1/3, and Comrie the odd extra game.  If UPL elevates further, cool (great, actually); if Comrie finally pulls it together, cool; or if Adams finally does what he should've done in the off-season and bring in a vet to pair with somebody, then awesome.  But until then, don't see an issue with having Levi up for another couple of weeks.  They aren't going to ruin him regardless of where they play him or don't play him.

Realize that goes against board dogma, but them's this kid's 2 cents.  YMM (and likely will) V.

(And that's with expecting Levi to get lit up tonight.  Why does he keep drawing Boston?  St. Louis would've been a good start for him.)

The fact the Levi is better than Comrie has little to do with the fact that Levi needs, and will benefit, from games in Rochester. 
 

60 miles ways and look here he is.  All this bantering about Levi is not necessary.  

[HumanSlinky39]

Gross. Our power play is hard broken.

[Indabuff]

Trash PP

[Pimlach]

Olofsson behind the goal line.  We needed someone on front of Linus. 

[JohninMinn.]

We missed Dahlin on that power play.

[Kr632]

Anyone else have the bruins announcers? Is something wrong with their play by play guy? 

[PromoTheRobot]

WTF that was in the net 5 minutes before the ref waved it off.

[Brawndo]

That’s a goal

He has a nerve thing. Sad.

[Carmel Corn]

That's in....did the whistle blow?

[bob_sauve28]

Whistle blew? 

[Sidc3000]

Oh that’s a goal

[JohninMinn.]

Looked like a goal to me. Was there a whistle?

[K-9]

Did the whistle blow because that puck is clearly in the net.

[Porous Five Hole]

I think that goal will count. 

[Pimlach]

Eric Robinson does not know how to play.  Why does he keep going to their net and standing in front of their goalie?   Hmmm. 🤔 

[Marvin]

I bet the ruling will be that the whistle blew.

Yes.  He is apparently ill.  They won’t replace him.

I hope Pegula, or at least someone prominent in the FO, sees this.  

Last 20 against Boston, 1-18-1.
