If Jay Bouwmeester had been vaccinated against Covid, we would never have heard the end of it.

You're more likely to develop it as a result of infection rather than inoculation but have at it. You lit the fuse of this conversation and I'm leaving it

yes let's blame the vaccine for a narrative's sake instead of knowing the exact reason.

To me, the vaccine was silly, the dagger that has continued to plague society started with the absolute garbage rules imposed in the name of prevention.

Could you ever seriously consider showing your shot status as an ID to go drink a bottle of bottom shelf vodka and piss yourself before this thing?



Social pressure as the driving factor should be enough to make everyone just ask a few more questions.

no doubt the process was a joke. I'm simply staying within this line of thinking, that every bad thing that happens to someone is "probably the vaccine" and it's (frank)ing low IQ.

Buffalo Sabres: Devon Levi’s 3 most mind-boggling stats from 2023
by Sion Fawkes2 days ago
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Devon Levi only played in seven NHL games last season, but he put up quite a few mind-boggling numbers in that frame.

While Buffalo Sabres goaltender Devon Levi will without a doubt suffer through some growing pains this season as he continues to acclimate to the NHL, he also gives fans a lot of hope. Last season, Levi finished with a 0.905 save percentage, a 2.94 GAA, and a 5-2-0 record, pretty good stats for a kid who played in college just a few weeks before his NHL debut.


But you may not have realized just how good Levi was in those seven games. Below, you will find three mind-numbing statistics that actually show how effective Levi was in the net, and that it foreshadows some of what you can expect in 2023-24.

Buffalo Sabres goaltender’s most mind-boggling stats in 2023
1 – Team-Best GSAx
JP Gambatese of The Hockey Writers shared a statistic in a recent piece that jumped out at me, and it was Levi’s team-leading 3.1 goals saved above expected (GSAx). To put things into perspective, Craig Anderson had the second-best number of the team, which sat at 0.4, so Levi took a commanding lead in the category.


Okay, but Anderson played in 26 games while Levi played in seven, isn’t that a huge difference? It is, but let’s look at someone closer to Levi’s seven-game stint. Eric Comrie played in just 19 games, but his GSAx sat at an ugly (-6.9), tied for 15th-worst in the league, per Money Puck.

Levi, on the other hand, ranked 32nd in the category, and 14th on a per 60 basis. Not bad at all for the presumed 1A or even outright starting goaltender this season.


2 – 0.714 QS%
If you thought Levi’s GSA% was good, his 0.714 quality starts percentage (QS%) was one of the league’s best among goaltenders who started or played in seven games. In fact, he finished in fifth place in the category, per Hockey-Reference.

And remember, Levi did this with no previous professional hockey experience, a mere two weeks between signing his entry-level contract and his debut, and in the middle of a playoff race. Oh, and the teams he faced were no jokes, as the Buffalo Sabres played contenders like the New Jersey Devils, Florida Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes, and New York Rangers in that span.


3 – GAA Better Than Expected
Levi finished the season with an expected GAA (xGAA) of 3.37, but as you know, he finished with a 2.94 GAA. This sat at 0.44 per Money Puck, tying him for 13th in the NHL with Ilya Samsonov among goaltenders who started seven games.



PHENOM ALERT

While I am excited that he may be the Sabres next franchise goalie. But let’s see what happens when scouts start getting a book on him. I am so annoyed by the lack of a real back up plan if he struggles

Get busy livin', or get busy dyin'. That's god-damn right. For the second time in my life, I am guilty of committing a crime. Parole violation. Of course, I doubt they'll toss up any roadblocks for that. Not for an old crook like me...

I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

That’s not even close to what I suggested. This is why I came out of the pandemic saying Liberals were/are just as bad as Conservatives… no one looks at the grey area, no one questions both rhetorics and no one comes to rational conclusions that are apolitical.

What I notice most is our leaders failed us miserably from all sides and weaponized misinformation.

I see a lot of athletes who were mandated to get the vaccine having heart issues now. You can’t deny there might be a correlation.

It’s honestly insane how black and white all of this still is. I waited to get the vaccine. I got 2 shots and a booster but I was pressured into it and my employer even gave me a $500 bonus.

Then I got diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder and pulmonary hypertension. I want answers, and I am not finding any or getting any. I was having legitimate heart palpitations only after receiving the vaccine.

I never once got COVID the year prior to getting the vaccine nor did I get in the year after getting the vaccine.

Reading up on it, it literally is a nano-machine. It’s a new technology that was being developed for a decade and was rushed to market backed by scare mongering.

I still haven’t gotten any answers and there’s still so much misinformation and smoke and mirrors and now suddenly no one wants to question or talk about it because everything seems fine.

But a few whack-jobs who worked for the government mention UFOs and everyone blows their loads.

It’s insane. Fauchi disappeared. They finally admitted it was a lab leak. Dozens of countries were out in the streets and civil unrest was at an all-time high. Virus shows up and everyone had to get inside. Mental health plummeted. The poor got poorer.

I’m not allowed to question any of this bullocks? Yeah low intelligence lol

Good post.

I'm kinda from the camp that plays levi good or bad. He's the future. If he struggles, you play him.

They have to develop levi, cant think of another way then playing him. Possibly in the ahl if hes super stinky.

He may struggle but he's not going to flop, he already proved it last season to some degree. He beat good teams and played a lot of games late.
