All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

He overchallenges, he overslides in the net, loses track of the puck constantly, and he gives up fat juicy rebounds left and right.
He has no business being in the NHL right now.
Your criticisms are not unwarranted. At the same time, our other goalies suck. Anderson is past his prime. UPL is a tweener between an NHL backup and an AHL starter.
Levi makes mistakes but he also does things that are way beyond what most goalies with that limited experience can do.
At this point, what makes more sense? Playoff hopes are just a thread. Neither Anderson nor UPL will get us there. Levi most likely won’t either, but at least he’s getting NHL experience while the team is still fighting.

The jump from NCAA to AHL is huge. And this guy skipped that step (so far) Hate it or love it, he's a green goalie and is absorbing the NHL experience like a sponge. Anything hes doing can be and will be corrected. I trust the Sabres FO enough to know what's best for his development
People saying he should go back to minors next season for more polish imo dont get it. He doesn't need it and right now he's basically the starting goaltender for a playoff push, late in the year, and has a 90% save percentage as a raw rookie. Just cut the cord, this is all the experience he needs. He can develop in the offseason with the team, no need to send him down then back up again. Just move forward with him
Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions

I don't agree with this entirely. We've seen goalies come in and play lights out before fading away. I don't want him to be the next Carter hart or Spencer knight
Levi looks like the real deal. I haven't felt this good about a goalie since Marty Biron. (no, Miller never made me feel that confident, he let in way too many goals that seemed to go through him)
he needs to get better with directing the rebounds into the corners, but that will come, the kid looks legit. He reminds me a bit of Félix Potvin. Similar Style.

I think he's more of a saros style. But I won't stand for the miller slander!

He'll be in Buffalo. I'm not saying he won't struggle and may end up being sent down but he'll start the season in Buffalo. He's the best goalie in their system.

I don't know what makes more sense.
The worry has to be that he gets completely rattled and his confidence completely shot from having to play in these high pressure type of games where let's face it, he isn't exactly playing well.
I'm not saying he can't be the guy one day but he needs a lot of seasoning at this point and he's been put into a spot that he's not ready for right now.
Another half of a game and the goals he's allowed again are because of big juicy rebounds and/or completely losing track of where the puck is. The third goal the Devils scored, Levi was looking back in the net before the puck even got back there.
