I keep doubting Anaheim, because I keep forgetting that, more than seemingly any other team in these playoffs, they appear to have an "extra gear" they can go to, to elevate themselves, in needed moments.
-
I don't think anyone saw Cy Hgsn washing out of the league and Kassian turning into Raffi Torres
It's one of those trades that looks poor in retrospect, but the logic used at the time still for me seems completely sound.

I'm opening up to the idea of an Ottawa v Nashville final, should that come to pass.
Two Franchises that have never won the Stanley Cup, could lead to an exciting series.
Yes. So, there you go *tankers never prosper*.
Yikes.
I meant the management of the teams that did. Certainly not the fans here and elsewhere that supported the tank. I hold no grudge against them. Sorry.
Come on, dude. I completely understand the anti-tank sentiments, I really do. But it's just not fair to say they never prosper, when this has proven to not be the case.
For the sake of your argument, "often don't prosper" might do the job.
-
They're tankers too. But we all got the last laugh. They tanked for Yashin.
Damn that's right. Well, maybe the philosophy of their current regime, then.
Did they tank for Daigle too?
-
The contract number is also not a factor. His contract doesn't count until July and about 10 contract will fall off for the unsigned rfas and UFAs.
So it'll come down to whether or not Botterill thinks he's worth it. Can't see why he wouldn't get the contract, Estephan has been improving steadily each year. But it's May 18, so who knows.
-
I wouldnt say nobody. :p
F the tanks.
Agreed. F the tank and all tankers that there ever were.
I'd imagine this is the philosophy of Sens nation as well.
-
He won't play in Buffalo so our cap space isn't relevent as far as I know.
Yup, not for that signing, if it happens at all.

"Giorgio Estephan: Selected in the 6th round, 152nd overall by the Buffalo Sabres. Estephan plays for the Lethbridge Hurricanes, and the team advanced to the 3rd round of the WHL Playoffs this season. In his draft year, Giorgio registered 23 goals and 28 assists in 64 games. In 2016-17 he registered 25 goals to go along with 54 assists. Estephan also added 11 goals and 13 assists in 18 playoff games. Buffalo has five available contract spaces and about $1.3 million in salary cap space. Of the group, Estephan seems the most likely to get a last minute contract."

Eichel didn't score a single goal in the tournament. That's...kinda pathetic
Goals can be very streaky, and come in bunches, or disappear for stretches. Especially in quick tournaments like this. He still had a ton of shots, and he had 5 assists, so his playmaking game was largely on point. He was also engaged defensively, you can tell he's working on that aspect of his game.
Not a great tournament for Jack, but not a bad one, either.
-
No way man, the rhythm is gonna get him.
This represents a decent chunk of the upside of signing him.
-
I do like the proposed Daley addition.
-
It's hard to take an article seriously when there's a factual error in the first sentence.
-
I bet Bottz let's Estephan walk. Just a feeling.
-
Ottawa is proving to be quite the poster child for the "just get in" menatlity, particularly with the playoff format being what it currently is.
It's why I don't like hearing,"Hey, don't make such-and-such move, because we won't be contending for another few years." We can go deep into the playoffs as soon as this coming season.
I've watched 1 hockey game in the last week or so, so what's going on here? Is Pittsburgh's injured defense finally catching up with them?
Also if the Sens hang on, they've won more games this playoff than the 06-07 president's trophy team did O.o
Their overall team health is becoming a serious issue.
-
Nice to here, kudos to him, but he's the exception in Buffalo. Nashville has an arena full of wildcards.
It is a magical place.
-
I can't speak for others, but I called him a tool because there's something about profiting off this particular piece of art that irks me. As I've said, I'm all for his right to do so.
Again, from the admittedly little I've seen of him, he's just not my favourite chap. Nothing more to see here.
I called him a tool. I didn't advocate force-feeding him the experimental gum.
-
Nashville, uh, you can't keep doing that..
-
There's no rule against feeling trapped and depressed no matter how "good" your situation is.
Is anyone arguing this?
-
Maybe, but you and everyone else saying you would prefer that absolutely does not.
So now you know what I'm thinking? ;)
Maybe you are right and I'd feel the opposite if it was the other way around. I can't know for sure I suppose. I'm never going to meet him and my opinion on his personality in the end is irrelevant.
He just rubs me the wrong way, I guess.
Edit: Maybe it's because he never responded to the thousands of fan letters I sent him.
-
Why not ? Last I heard Finland embraces capitalism.
I'm not against his right to do this at all.
I just think he's probably a d-bag.
I don't, but apparently you do.
"I GOTS PAID!" has the ring of honest truth, amirite?
-
Thats kind of what I took away from it as well. Things didn't work out for him. He's allowed to express it. Doesn't hurt my feelings in any way.
But it's only truly an expression of inner-most angst if he's able to make a buck off it, right?
-
I would love to read this thread if Ville was snubbing his nose at us saying,"Ya know what, I worked my ass of to make it to the NHL, but sorry/not sorry it didn't work out Buffalo, cuz I GOTS PAID, B!TCHES!!!"
The guy actually feels bad about failing to bring a little more meaning to our miserable lives and ya'll roast him.
Do you actually know how he feels? Maybe he's just trying to squeeze a little extra profit out of a situation he found , while publicly crapping on an entire city through his art.
I'd rather a guy say "I GOTS PAID!", at least we'd know he's definitely not full of shite.
-
Surprised he was allowed to knock the net off like that...
Poll - Who has the better top 4: Nashville or Buffalo?
Ellis, Ekholm, Josi, Subban
OR
McCabe, Ristolainen, Gorges, Bogosian.
Close call.

If this game is representative of how the playoffs are going to be officiated, the Sabres best be signing Evander Kane. Seriously, Botterill needs to figure that out.
