Bwaaahaahahahahahaa!!

Pssst. Don’t tell anyone. They are.

Finally!,!!!

Oh brother. He ain’t here and part of it is Terry’s fault. I don’t ***** care about Jack ***** Eichel. Let it go.

We just gat to watch tuch’s attemp 3 more times. So ***** lame. He completely gives up on the play after his shot, stands up straight. Just awful.

I’m sure I don’t. Tuchy,... just so lame.

I don’t think Dahlin is even hurt. He just doesn’t want to sacrifice his body for this crap.

Bull. If he stopped he wouldn’t have had to only swipe at it. He would have had like three whacks at it. It was bad and low effort.

Do a hockey stop right in front of the goalie and be there for the rebound. It was a Charmin soft attempt.

I’m sorry, that was a half assed attempt by Tuch.

Just what we need. Our power play will get us one.

Or that after shooting he can skate to the front of the net and doesn’t have to skate around it.

Still no shot.

Tage sucks.

Still waiting for a shot on goal.

Oh thank god.

Not really.

No! No no no no NO!!! Keep Josh as far away as possible from the losing filth of the Sabres.

I still want them to win.

Gotta start somewhere. Would you rather lose tonight?

Right now, I would absolutely do a one for one swap of each and we would be better. But it’s a blush!t straw man because we have no idea what other moves would have been different and how the team would look. I can’t say with any certainty that the Sabres would be any better or worse had they both not been traded. And you can’t either.

I’m hoping tonight!

There is a HUGE difference between selling at the trade deadline to improve draft position (Matthew’s) and going on a multi year campaign of intentionally trying to lose. Lemieux was 40 years ago. Your list shows that success through tanking does not have a very high hit rate. IMO, it is and was a stupid plan and we are still paying for it, IMO.

And I misspoke before, the Oilers didn’t tank, they were just really really bad for a long time. They didn’t sell off all of their players for picks in order to be bad like the Sabres. And there is no way of being sure that we would be better with them, especially because we weren’t. Playing the hypothetical game is a waste of time. We should have never tanked, period. It was a stupid plan, imo.

Nice straw man, but if I have to answer a dumb question, I’ll say, I don’t know,… maybe? The Oilers were terrible for a very long time before their tank actually worked.
