When it comes to interviews, Levi is the anti-Eichel.

Thats because he smiles, is engaging, and is interesting. .

The Leafs game would be must-see tv if we can go in at nhl 500

Well go figure. 

I guess the million dollar question is how do they get these guys to play hard EVERY NIGHT and not just after they get yelled at for a stinker. 

 

^ This, plus getting Tuch and Thompson to step it up more. Buffalo definitely has a great young goalie in Levi. They still need some sandpaper on defense 

[steveoath]

Eh, just woken up this morning. Wtf?!?!?

 Go sabres.

Get good goaltending to start the game.  Get them believing they'll get the chance to get into a groove.  Levi and UPL CAN do that for them.  The 83rd game question is will they?

You know this kid believes in Levi.  Hoping UPL can continue to do his part as well.

Good goaltending is always the key - which is why this plan has been so............. (fill in whatever expletive you prefer).

your 2023-2024 season 😛

They don’t win this game without Levi.  They were dominated for at least the first 10 minutes.  They played better as the game went on, every period was progressively better, but Levi really held them in it.  

 

 

I get to watch a lot oof hockey up here in Ontario as Sportsnet brings a ton of games and when I watch other teams like the Leafs they too get amazing goaltending night after night (which we have not got to yet...hopefully soon our goaltending will become consistent). I have seen the Leafs be down 10-1 in shots but up 1-0. I really do not care whatsoever what the shots are at the end of the game...we outshot many teams this year and lost. So what! We are just not use to gettting NHL caliber goaltending. Looks like Levi is going to be real good fo rsure!

  On another note, it seems like Sportsnet loves the Bruins and have them on lots, and I have to say their announcers are by far the most obnoxious and annoying by far! I often watch just to hope the B's lose so I can hear them whine and make excuses...

I'm confident Benson can handle 1LW and 3C simultaneously.

If he was loaned to Canada’s WJ team all of the Euro’s would forfeit the games.

Let the legend of Bennie grow!

[Demoted]

Good to see them crush the Eichel team. This team is so up and down and the ups seem to come against good teams so they have what they need to beat good teams.  They need to find that consistency, this team needs a win streak.

He really should have been a top 5 pick. The skating speed is perfectly fine for the NHL and he's an absolute dog.

As my son tells me… Devon Levi is Him.

He may not win them all but the kid is playing very well especially his last 4 games.

Me watching this team.

Credit DG where credit is due. Line combos were great, and decision to start Levi vs. LV finally shows some good decision making. Hopefully not the broken clock phenomenon.

They just need to keep stacking points, win streak or not.

They have 7 out of 10 points now in their last 5 games even tho we may not think so after the Colorado debacle.

Just keep stacking points. Win streak would be nice but does winning then tying then winning really make a difference that much? It's still 5 out of 6 points

Well Murray obviously.  But then... Jost?  Olofsson?  Okie?  I'm not that worried about that.

Or whoever gets injured next 😞

[Believer]

Great to see big smiles and listen to upbeat postgame interviews… DG was relaxed after a big win… Nice.

Levi led the Charging Buffalo for sure. He had a co-pilot......

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you the other Charging TaTonka who led The Herd this game.....

BigBallsBenson. 

A player so fearless for his age and stature he knows no fear for going to the net.

Well that was satisfying. If only they could do that consistently. Benson, Cozens and Mitts came through. Levi was good.  

Can't help thinking " Here we go " when Eichel stuffs in that gift to make it 2-1 Vegas. And then...

Jekll & Hyde. Now which do we get tonight ??  

[FrenchConnection44]

The enigma strikes again.
 

Big time wins at the Rangers, Bruins, and Knights. 
 

One has to wonder if those teams are underestimating us in these games and expect to win? Although Vegas didn’t play poorly. 
 

Levi for the win for sure, but those goals were crucial. 

Levi can be great. I think UPL has shown he is capable of being good enough. It’s just whether he can be mentally strong enough to play consistently when we need him in order to rest Levi. Goalie psychology is such a big factor and it’s hard to know how that will play out. 

[WhenWillItEnd66]

Damn!! This team is so jekyll and Hyde.  I do not get why they cannot string the wins.  Beat the best them look like total dog water. Glad the boys won and hope they can bring it tonight.  Another baking day for me followed by a work day for me tomorrow. Another game I am not watching. Hoping Good Sabres show up tonight.

End of a three game road trip… after an all out effort to beat LV last night… and the humiliating loss to AZ two nights ago… tonight is a character-defining revenge game for us…

Go Sabres!… Beat AZ!

Tell ‘em, Granato… Dig deep… Get the win… Return home triumphant.

I have a strange feeling in my gut.

It's telling me that the Sabres will come out on fire.

 - Levi with the Miller shutout ... 7 - 1 !!

Book it ..

Missed it by that much, Chief.

[zow2]

Assuming they start UPL for Arizona.  I’m gonna give the big guy the benefit of the doubt that he was a bit sluggish coming off his 10 day illness.  He should be better as a backup to Levi.  For now Levi is the man though.
