00:00Do you feel like the right attitude to take on Levi is, you know, don't, if you're a Sabre fan more so I think than an Amerx fan for this,
00:07that don't worry about what he has kind of struggled with in the NHL for the last couple years because he's still only 23
00:15and a lot of goalies have not made the NHL by that age, most haven't.
00:20So, I don't see a ton of this, but you do see a little of, I'm not really worried about what he's doing in the NHL, he's already showed me he's not that good in the NHL.
00:30I would want to take what he's doing down there as meaningful and almost, like whenever he shows back up, almost like Bulldog had this take on Twitter,
00:37like clean slate whenever he shows back up and what's happening down there is meaningful.
00:42No question about it. And it's the idea of playing, and that's why I love the playoff series for these guys, because it is going, maybe an overtime game,
00:52and then having to come back and to play well and a team sees you over and over again.
00:57I think it tests a player and look, yes, he got those opportunities early in Buffalo, like it's not exactly like he walked into this great team
01:09and he wasn't, you know, he probably wasn't ready for the moment. All of this stuff helps him.
01:13Age is not a factor here, and if you're him, you are proving to the Sabres and you're proving to all of hockey that you can play and he'll get opportunities at some point.
01:23I think he'll be a different player the next time he's with Buffalo in a long-term situation.
