Goaltender Devon Levi has been the long awaited prospect for the Buffalo Sabres. With a 3-2 OT win against the New York Rangers.. Devon Levi was brilliant.. but what stood out was his mental approach to the game. fighting for their NHL playoff lives.. we break down what this means for the Sabres & how Devon Levi can help them go on a run.

Talking about how HE WANTS one timers, WANTS TO be tested. Gave me goosebumps. Reminds me of Carey Price in his younger days, he's got the same look in his eye

[rossmaurer]

I haven’t been this excited for the future of my team in a very long time UPL and Levi will be a great tandem I’m ready

[flatmoontheory]

Wow he has an actual personality. I love him already.

[uncledamfee]

After seeing him play I'm stunned how a guy that looks this solid in his movements, and poise with incredible flexibility was taken all the way in the 7th round...He has a very promising toolkit to be successful, and tracks the puck really well. That attitude...you can't teach that. I'd take him any day!

[pradapistol]

Cant believe he is rocking my number I used in junior b. Born on the 27th just became a fan of this dude. For ever goalie life.

[PuckADV]

Saw this guy in college, certified weird guy but really good. Besides what goalie ain’t weird

[SabresGuy]

Slow down at the 1:15 mark with the point blank shot and watch his head movements tracking the puck and then ATTACKING the shooter, he went from the red line in the crease to outside of it in a blink of an eye! Insane! If you really watch closely, he doesn't even look at the shooter, he looks only at the puck and the shooter's stick. Make all the cute leg kicks, head takes and it won't matter cause the puck is all that matters, he doesnt stop the shooter, he stops the shot, Kuznetzov couldn't pull that BS move and score on Levi the way he watches the puck!

His post-game interviews and subsequent starts have been equally as great. We weren't able to sneak into the WC spot, but the vibes this kid and the team have right now and will have heading into next season are scary and optimistic.

Dude was awesome. I'm a hardcore Avs Fan since the Quebec Nordiques days and our rival was Buffalo in the Adams. I am secretly a Sabres Fan because they are so f'n exciting to watch right now. Would love to see them make it🙏🏻

I remember watching Levi play for Team Canada in the U-18 world championship. He started as back up and took over as top goal tender and brought an under dog Team Canada to the final in overtime. He was absolutely lights out in that tournament and I knew he would make the show one day. Confident in him to be a starter in the NHL as soon as next year.

As a sabres fan. When I saw he was in the Reinhart deal I was stoked. But when it comes to today and making the playoffs. It's not over until we make it or don't. And I sure hope we do but we won't know until then. GO SABRES.

[samuelgingras]

My best friend played Midget AAA with him, and I know other guys on that lions team. They all unanimously were saying back in 2018-2019 that he was super talented and was something special if people just knew more about him.

[FidgetSpinner]

Fantastic coverage. Very exciting time for this team and I hope they make the push

[landontaylor]

He’s going to speak his success into existence mind is your greatest strength or weakness

[coyote]

I would love to see the Sabres sneak into the playoffs this year.

[yuhmum]

As a Rangers fan who wanted the Rangers to obviously win, I'm more happy that buffalo won and gave the rookie his first NHL win, dude looked really good for his first game, can't wait to see more of him in the future.

[Revealingstorm.]

Regardless of what this guy does for the rest of the season, man do I love the confidence

[johnshields]

Patience in hockey is such a great asset, but it's hard to do when the play is moving quickly, especially for a goalie, it's hard to stay calm when things are flying around you, the timing is everything, anticipation is key.

[nataliepyn]

Love my Sabres, the future is so so bright!

[megamrsoftee]

lol looks like his meditation between the hash marks is a ploy to keep extra snow in front of the net 2:37.

I'm a goalie, so I'm well aware of the advantage of snowy ice
