Would an Edmonton v. Florida final be the farthest distance btw final teams ever?

It could be. I do think Dallas is more banged up. They miss Hakanpaa on D and now Tanev has a bad wheel. Hintz hasn't been himself. They aren't getting nearly enough from Marchment, Duchene and Pavelski, who have 5 goals combined in the playoffs. The Oilers reported weaknesses (D, team D, forward depth, grit) are overrated though. They are better in those areas than they are largely credited for. Janmark, Henrique, Holloway have combined for more goals (7 ) than the 3 Dallas players I reference. I don't think they will be intimidated physically. Skinner is a wildcard from game to game, so there is always that risk. That said, Dallas could easily bounce back with something as simple as a great performance by Oettinger in game 6.

Toasty here. Which means we have about 3 weeks of summer left before it pisses down for the rest of the year.

Nice one. Nice pic too.

I wasn’t aware that Stevenson spent time trying to catch on in pro wrestling. While doing so, he issued a statement about the allegations of sexual assault that were made in 2019. https://wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/wwe-star-gable-steveson-issues-statement-on-2019-sexual-assault-investigation “One of the challenges for me personally especially over the past several months/years has been reading the criticisms and attacks on my character by people who don’t know me personally and my values. No charges were ever brought by anyone and the entire episode has been difficult for everyone involved … Going forward people who don’t know me will hopefully see that kindness, respect and empathy are virtues I take very seriously in my life."

And these places suck.... Because large groups of people suck 😜

Bonus points for what season or even part of a season the player represents. For example the all time Sabres team has December 1998 Dom in goal. Now you might consider half season Tage.

I work shifts varying from straight overnights, to straight days. I basically feel like I live in an Alice in wonderland haze 😂😂

I’ve enjoyed thumbing through these rosters. It’s fun to look at the possibilities. Gotta say, Hajt needs to be considered higher on some rosters.

Where would the Rangers be without Shesterkin, seriously. Similar to, where would those sabres teams have been without Hasek. It's the one position that can really make or break you. The Blues wouldn't have won without Binnington (even if he is dog doo doo now) Hopefully we have our duo set.

The Araiza situation is a weird one to cite. That thing wound up as a real shlamozzle — with Araiza being released from the civil lawsuit after he sued the accuser for defamation. Here’s hoping the Bills did their due diligence with the wrestler.

There’s some truth to this. Skinner has outplayed the Big O from Big D, which I didn’t think was possible. This is perhaps the biggest reason this series is where it is.

Also possible Dallas is more worn down by playing tougher opponents. Lot of old guys on that Dallas team and going through Vegas and Colorado was a lot harder than LA and Vancouver. We will see if they have anything left on Sunday.

Well I do feel my counter proposal is very fair still

And if we still fail; then what?

Czech out this one!

They’re finishing off the Stars Sunday. That doesn’t change my stance. Rangers, Panthers, Canes, Knights are my top 4. I still think Dallas is better and I would take Tampa if my money were on the line. I might go Avs also. My humble opinion.

Exactly. I’d imagine the winning has value in and of itself, probably great value. It’ll help the entire environment and it’s attractiveness to outside players

Proof meets pudding Least so far

He's 3rd in all of the AHL? Oh under 21 players got it.

I'm surprised, but I think you need more physicality to throw Edmonton off their game and the Stars aren't delivering that. Edmonton might be in the final now (maybe) but I still think the cup goes to the East, likely Florida.

They might, but if it got us in the playoffs, who the F cares.

See you're trying to win the trade, and I agree with @dudacek I think it would get us in the playoffs and imo finally breaking that 13 year non playoff run would be worth it, even if all 3 left the year after (although obviously you'd try to keep some of them). Gives all those Rochester kids one more year to mature as well. A real coach, finally in the playoffs, regardless of what happens after, the entire conversation changes and maybe then the NTCs for Buffalo start to stop and more players will also consider coming. We simply HAVE to break the loser label before we lose another round of young talent and rebuild yet again in a perpetual spiral.
