Fleezoid Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Just what the Sabres needed.....a 2 goal lead and the top line getting chances and a goal. Defense looks good too. A couple of chances, but they're disrupting play in front of their net. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I'm not much of a hype guy but I'll say it now: Devon Levi is the Truth. The next great Sabres goaltender, and I think he'll end up being better than Ryan Miller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't do the splits and cover the posts skate to skate. I watched goals scored between his skate and post in that very scenario twice. I'm in on Levi. He moves so smoothly and has a great, (I'll hold "spectacular" until I have more evidence) glove hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 well I wish the Sabres offense had woken up sooner.It was a different team in OT. They dominated the OT. Glad they overcame that last second tying goal. First win Yay!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said it ticket agencies bought up all the tickets when the team was really bad, and sold them for like $20 in the 100s. Now that the team is on the verge of being a yearly playoff contender, those agencies are selling them for 10x or more what they were and the fans are refusing to pay those prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T&C Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 When the Buffalo Sabres entered the NHL in 1970 they were awarded the first pick in the draft. Shortly before the team made their selection of Gilbert Perreault #1 general manager Punch Imlach picked up goaltender Joe Daley off waivers. He was the first member of the Buffalo Sabres organization and the only Sabres goaltender to play without a mask. 🥅🏒🦬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Meatballs better rest Levi or this could burn out before he establishes himself.

I sure hope they aren’t planning to try and get 50(+) games out of him because that seems like a disaster waiting to happen. At most he should get 50% of the games, if that. He’s a 21yr old rookie stepping into the NHL straight from college (which is almost unheard of). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was actually a little surprised to see him starting. I guess they were worried about sacrificing too many points early in the season so they pushed him a little too hard? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 The Sabres will get the Isles coming of a B2B. Isles play at home tonight against the Devils before visiting the Sabres tomorrow.

ChevyVanMiller Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 One of the most frustrating things about the Sabres, dating back a few years now, is that so few of their losses are after regulation. That loser point can go a long way in determining what teams sneak into the playoffs and which ones are left on the outside looking in. Last night was a great example of them being unable to lock up at least a point in the 3rd period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like he’s going to be a good influence for the younger players (as long as they listen to him). I love listening to his interviews. He definitely has a future in coaching and/or development if he wants it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
