He tries to do too much for me. He looks unsettled in the cease at times. He loses his blue paint too easily. Like a playful friggin puppy chasing a ball. STAY IN YOUR CREASE AND HAVE SOME REBOUND CONTROL.
The JV goalie needs to be released. I'm done with him. Dahlin doesn't deserve the C with his atrocious play so far this season, I actually believe he's overrated
The Flyers looked really good last night, and the Sabres had key injuries, but still.....we seem to lose to all of the bottom feeder teams in the conference. This team is too young, too undisciplined, too inconsistent. I thought that Levi should have been in ROC to start the season.
Nah... at least divisions MATTER in the NHL. Not even close to being the sh** show that the NBA is. Teams actually TRY and care to win regular season games in the NHL.
This team needs a healthy Tage and UPL. Those 2 simple things are 50% of the issue now. Levi doesn't have it right now. 1st line when healthy is playoff caliber. 3rd line is playoff caliber. 4th line doesn't matter much. 2nd line is a huge black hole sucking ice time and wins into it.
When Levi came straight out of college into the Sabres lineup at the end of the season that year he was incredible! Since then he’s kind of regressed. What is it with the Sabres that if you come to the team you don’t play so hot, if you leave the team you become a top tier player.
I think that even the diehard fans have given up. When an owner hires a coach they fired over a decade ago and expects a different outcome, then that says it all. Insanity....or should I say POOOOGOOOOLA.
@jahimjauh-hey5653 nobody cares what he did almost 20 years ago with a fat better team. There's a reason NJ played better after he was fired. Yes, some of this is definitely on Ruff.
Lindy can only do so much. He's a great coach, he can't skate with them. There is just no fire in this team... these players. When our Captain say's after the loss "we just didn't play hard enough" there is a problem. 13 year's of not making the playoffs and we aren't playing hard enough?! What kind of incentive do these guys need? This team has a culture problem. There is a reason guys like Eichel, Reinhart... and PLENTY others ALL can't play up to their full potential and absolutely flourish as players until they LEAVE Buffalo. At this point the issues are too deep. The Bill's were able to turn things around and completely turn it back into a winning culture, hopefully one day the Sabres can do the same but these are very dark days and before this season began I TRULY believed this was their year to make it back into the postseason but as time goes on I have no reason to believe this won't be year number 14.
@@scottmccombs2257 ohhh come on the Devils retooled their roster with high caliber players. Everyone knows that Lindy got screwed with the players he lost last year and their GM threw him under the bus for his screw up by not giving him a full roster. Same thing is happening in Buffalo with Kevyn Adams relying too much on youth.
Eichel and Reinhardt trades not looking so good…in retrospect…..they have a bunch of 3rd and 4th line forwards….their #1 center would be playing wing on most teams….starting to hear “I need to be better” too much…..shades of Ryan O’Reilly….
That last step up to the NHL and to be able to play at that level has always been the toughest. Maybe Levi like many young goalies will just take longer to mature. I would not give up on him yet.
This all goes all to the top. To the ever-expanding league. The more teams they add, the more watered down it becomes. Millionaires who never would have made it back in the days of real hockey...
Joe, this Game can't fairly blamed on Devon Levi. 1stGoal-He is freezing the puck while no Sabres picking up sticks. 3rd Goal-Redirect. 4th Goal-Flyers2-0 with Michkov.
The worst part about this season is there is just no development happening. At least last year Peterka and UPL took big steps. Aside from Tage, who’s improving? Greenway, but he’s a UFA at the end of the year. Maybe Byram. Anyone else?
I think benson gets penalties due to the fact he back checks/ forechecks much harder than most players on this team (besides him, greenway and tuch) he’s really the only one who looks like he’s trying so the officials are just shell shocked watching it so they’re gonna notice it more

For real. Acting like if you throw ANY kind of criticism their way that obviously means you "aren't a real diehard!". Gtfo of here with that. Nothing will ever change if it was only guys like him that refuse to tell it like it is just because he's "too loyal". Not gonna lie, when I saw that video of his I seriously lost some respect for him. Bashing the fans that are tired of getting beat day in and day out, gatekeeping the "real" diehards as if THEY aren't sick of the losing culture as well is crazy to me.
@@Remmy0930thank you! I liked his channel in the beginning, but unsubscribed because of his attitude like “ if you don’t trust in Kevin Adams, then you’re not a real Sabres fan” or the “ I’ve been a Sabres fan since 1970 so I’m more of a Sabres fan than you”.
Quinn is actually so bad this year he needs to be traded while he still has some value. Same with cozens even tho his contract is horrible. Peterka is horrible (Idc what you say) he forechecks lazily besides when it’s against the boards then sometimes he does good but he’s 95% offense and 5% defense unlike tuch who is 50/50. Power is probably the worst 1st overall possible im starting to think that scouts seeing “6’6” is the only reason he got drafted he seems like he was just blessed with a big frame and 0 skill all thought he is good at puck handling it proves to be useless and half the time he passes everything in front of our net.
What? HALF the league gets in. How many you want? You wanna just go to 3/4 the league to help out awful teams like ours and completely negate the regular season? Reward bad teams anyway? There are 16 playoff spots... 32 teams total. 😂
Reinhardt a ring, eichel a ring, what did we get in return, maybe one good player. Levi isnt NHL player ready if EVER. Krebs? Cozens, Quinn, both disappointments. Powers.Byryum soft. Need Jerry Korab.Jim Schony type.
With the 9th Overall Pick in the 2025 draft, the Buffalo Sabres choose.........
no team identity, no heart
How many times can we have a chance to go above 500 and squander it.
Levi needs more time in Rochester, where he should start. Don't ruin his development.
Around 20 games in you know what team you are. I think we are just a .500 team again like last year
Say that to the 2019 St Louis blues and the 2023 Edmonton Oilers. Not entirely disagreeing with you but it's possible that the make the playoffs
I see a 500. team as well.
Levi needs more seasoning. He let in a few soft goals the past 2 games. Maybe in all his starts. He swims to much for my liking
Maybe Levi isn't the guy. There's a reason he was drafted in the 7th round and then traded by the team that drafted him.
@@scottmccombs2257lol panthers got a elite 80 plus point player that helped them win a Stanley cup for basically nothing
He tries to do too much for me. He looks unsettled in the cease at times. He loses his blue paint too easily. Like a playful friggin puppy chasing a ball. STAY IN YOUR CREASE AND HAVE SOME REBOUND CONTROL.
Really disappointed in Levi
Sabres playing down to teams for the 3rd year in a row
Need a hockey trade to happen. Shake it up a bit.
Adams won't trade any of the players other teams want.
Something has to give. In order to get an asset, WELL GMKA. You have to give one or a few .....
The JV goalie needs to be released. I'm done with him. Dahlin doesn't deserve the C with his atrocious play so far this season, I actually believe he's overrated
Dahlin is definitely part of the problem. Accruing awful penalties resulting in goals.
I agree about Dahlin, but you want Levi “released”? What?
Even worse is that there should not be 4 alternate captains on the team. Especially when Samuelsson & Cozens are wearing 2 of the 4, wtf.
The Flyers looked really good last night, and the Sabres had key injuries, but still.....we seem to lose to all of the bottom feeder teams in the conference. This team is too young, too undisciplined, too inconsistent. I thought that Levi should have been in ROC to start the season.
8 to 16 seeds in the east all similar. Nhl slowly becoming like nba.

Teams didn't have anything to go by in his first couple starts. Now they have film on him to study.
Because it's a culture issue in Buffalo.
@@scottmccombs2257 That has nothing to do with it. He's letting in soft goals, that has nothing to do with teams "figuring him out".

The same coach that got them to the Stanley cup finals and two eastern finals with two completely different rosters..... this isn't on Lindy.

You have to make some trades here.

Garbage dumpsters fire poor defence poor puck management undisciplined penalties too much pinching not enough shots on goal mediocre goaltending
22% of the cap goes towards 2 defencemen
That last step up to the NHL and to be able to play at that level has always been the toughest. Maybe Levi like many young goalies will just take longer to mature. I would not give up on him yet.
Not having tage in the lineup feels the same as when eichel was injured and out. Just a huge hole in our team without him
This all goes all to the top. To the ever-expanding league. The more teams they add, the more watered down it becomes. Millionaires who never would have made it back in the days of real hockey...
Bingo !
Taylor Swift 😂😂😂😢
What people need to understand, especially with goalies, progression isn’t linear.

Yea levi really needs something different or idk. He mqde some good saves in this one bht still allowing lots of pucks to slip thru
I think benson gets penalties due to the fact he back checks/ forechecks much harder than most players on this team (besides him, greenway and tuch) he’s really the only one who looks like he’s trying so the officials are just shell shocked watching it so they’re gonna notice it more
Levi looks to small in the net and he doesn’t have the quickness to get to the puck on rebounds.

@ that’s my favorite, followed by this show. I agree.
Same old sabres. bring back drury pommenville etc lol
You're making it sound like the Sabres are supposed to be world beaters,they're on the same level with the rest of them.
Gut wrenching
STTT!

once again. a video immediately after a loss. but still takes days for one following a win. like why
Too many teams in the league, too hard to make the playoffs

@ yeah too many teams obviously. Bettman wants even more expansion.
The chances of the Sabres not making the playoffs sicne the drought is 2 percent (or 0.2) I forget but that’s not the playoff layout fault
Reinhardt a ring, eichel a ring, what did we get in return, maybe one good player. Levi isnt NHL player ready if EVER. Krebs? Cozens, Quinn, both disappointments. Powers.Byryum soft. Need Jerry Korab.Jim Schony type.
Disgusting
