The loss of Hyman does hurt Edmonton but that will now result in more playing time for Perry and Skinner. I’d make the Panthers a slight favorite but now the Oilers have the experience and know what it’ll take to beat Florida and win it all. I wouldn’t bet money on this final either way. Gonna be tight and could go either way.

If the Sabres were to trade all four to… Vancouver, let’s say… and then Vancouver won the Cup riding UPL… I’m out. I’m dropping hockey at that point.

Who will it be next year. UPL? Quinn? JJP? Byram? All of the above? 🤣

Edmonton wins the conference finals on the road. Impressive.

Rantanen went from a hero to a dud quickly

Jeff skinner to the cup hello crap

6-3 game one win with Boushh playing. 0-3 since.

Laval must have burned out vs the Amerks. Charlotte has won the first two games in Laval; 5-1 and 5-2.

The Oilers saw that and then decided to play Jeff Skinner to 2X the Sabre factor in their favor.

Seems to lack commitment.

This is what Dallas gets for benching Lybushkin. The ex Sabre bump is gone.

I read a story about Zito’s leadership style. He said he has surrounded himself with some smart hockey people who will challenge him. He wants a diversity of ideas and will hear them out before making a decision. The people he mentions as advisors are Rick Dudley, Paul Fenton, Roberto Luongo, Gregory Campbell, Les Jackson and a few others.

Just So talented that McDavid eh?

McDavid wasn’t even floating defensively looking for an easy outlet. He’s just faster to pivot and take off than anyone else.

And McJesus just puts a dagger in their heart. Even before that goal I was thinking the Stars are having to expend SO much energy just to make up the two goal deficit. Against a team like the Oilers that makes you very susceptible to odd man rushes against. And here we are.

McDavid is amazing.

Wow

If Skinner and the Oilers come through this year that will make it a well established pattern that other GMs will find impossible to ignore anymore. Lol

It’s a game again.

Watching Jeff Skinner drift around the D zone while his team was under assault looked familiar.

Rumours are dumb. Go back and look at the last 100 rumours affecting this team. How many came true?

I do like Rochester’s coach more than Appert.

Everyone should’ve been stocking up on as many ex-Sabres as possible.

Byram can walk for whatever we can get for him. His defensive metrics have been bad his entire career, including being a sub 50% expected goals against on COL which is almost impossible to do on a team that good. In his entire career, he's only had good numbers while playing with Dahlin... but everybody has good numbers with Dahlin. Addition by subtraction. We can pay Peterka. No reason not to. Even a bridge deal. Last year we were a defenseman and a goalie away from being playoff worthy. If we can trade Byram for a less flashy guy that's good at defense AND we somehow get a goalie, I think we're good. If I believe that (and I was one of the few that voted Sabres aren't making the playoffs on last year's preseason poll), then Tuch can too.

Dreger shot this down today on Sabres live. Says there is no legs to this rumor and left over from trade deadline fake rumor.
