In his case, it's not really an estimate, since he's hit both marks.
- Lunaion

Didn't think he hit games played, says he still needs 29.

Playoffs still on the line and you give the crease to a rookie with 1 game under his belt.

Kids good but doesn't change the fact he's unexperienced at this level.

Its gutsy but the right call

What better option do they really have aside from Levi?

I agree, its still a gutsy call though I would say.

UPL played great on Saturday, Comrie has been better as of late.

Its a shot in the dark no matter who you go with IMO.

Sam with the hatty, 2 apples, and a fight in which he knocks Gigglesons out on the first punch.

Sabres win 6 -5.
This board goes nuts, pushes for KA to trade for Vasi and Ilya

Look at the other options in goal.

It's the right call.

You're right, missed that they already included this year for games, but not as a season.

Still takes some guts to play a rookie with 1 NHL game and bench VO tonight, especially from a coach who has been excessively vet friendly until recently.

Dude isn't gonna get it. Perhaps is doesn't understand the situation to get it.

No point explaining it to him.

Seems like an easy decision with the options at hand in goal.

Noticed you mixed benching Olofsson in there 😆😂

Think he belongs in the conversation. He stuck with VO through some prolonged slumps. Big games change his decisions. Can't help but wonder why he waited so long. Levi over the guys who got him here is a similar move.

This should signal the transition to "Going For It" from Evaluate and Develop.

Sitting Olo IMO means he's gone. Okposo retiring is obvious to me as well.
That's two spots opening, along with Andy retiring opens a spot for a young Goalie, let's hope Levi wins the opportunity to be a serious candidate by not poopting the bed.
Getting rid of Sirfallsdownalot is the next obvious move.

The guys who got him here in goal is certainly one way to put it, and I would agree, if here means currently on the outside of the playoffs.

Olofsson and Bryson out at the same time has happened, and recently too?
