He left AHL rebounds in an NHL world. And at other times, his defenders blocked the shot, but being a small goalie he was far out to cut off the angle, and the blocked rebound went to an angle he couldn't cover and that his defenders couldn't get to quickly enough. He made a few very good reflex saves.

In an April 2023 Athletic Article (I’m not good with links), Adams addressed the topic of whether Levi would benefit from time in the minors (this was at the end of 22-23, after Levi signed and played well down the stretch). Adams said every player is different. He doesn’t want to put a player in a box. That he planned to be fearless with roster decisions. And that in Levi he saw a special person with a special work ethic and special talent. 

This is not a shot against Levi. I think he is a good young goalie with NHL potential who is always brought up to the Sabres in saviour moments. Like all of our young players, he has repeatedly been placed in a position to fail. 

Adams could not have been more wrong on his evaluation(s). He can’t continue as GM. If he does, there is simply no reason to think he has the ability to fix this.

This team has zero clue. They deserve the ***** outcomes as this is the team they built. 2 year olds are more aggressive than our team. You notice that everytime we tried to get into the offensive zone our player with the puck was getting hit and followed??? When they come to our zone we run from contact and seem to have no idea where they should be. Either the coaching and system sucks or the players we thought were going to take us to the promise land are inept.

Adam’s seems desperate for Levi to be great, because Reinhart is.

Tage has a hell of a release in person. 

Now. Don’t give up a goal in the next minute. 

You knew...it was inevitable.

Is it too late to ask for the origin story of Kevyn Adams Star Wars nickname? 
 

On a related note, is it also too late to ask the same of Schnow 

Please see the new Sabre Wars thread.

Is Schnow ... Snoke? I don't have a Snoke yet. We're still only in the early stages of the Rebellion.
