So you’re saying Adams f*cked up by losing him? Please, I’m trying to enjoy the game

It’s sarDOrian. No “mister”, accent on the “O”. (I’d be completely shocked if someone got this reference.) and I mean ya I agree with you but there’s really no “with me” on this b/c I’m not anywhere on it. It was honestly a completely innocuous comment akin to “he’s good” but literally every comment has to be analyzed inspected and thoroughly patted-down for potential Kevyn Adams slander. It’s so tiring

And for the record not everyone was driving him to the airport So not the only guy who mentioned wanting Montour? Sure

You people are obsessed with reading into comments for things that aren’t there and jumping in to white knight for the Sabres. “You all wanted”. Just stop already. No one needs to go back and read shite. My comment said exactly what it meant: dude is good and I wish he as still here. That’s it. It wasn’t a comment on Kevyn Adams doing something wrong

I was referring to Weave

Thanks Kevyn

Montour is the one that got away

2019 but ya. I definitely think it’s high time for a rebuild, but I agree with you I don’t see it happening this summer. Cheveldayoff is on a lifetime contract as GM so I don’t think he feels much pressure in ever doing anything

4 games thing is a good point

Right call I think I doubt it. The bruins found success this year partly *because* of the fact Swayman spelled Ullmark so much and they battled together (48 starts for Ullmark, 33 for Swayman). If you think about it, starting Ullmark 6 straight games was what was messing with a winning formula. If they advance, I imagine both GTs see work going forward

I only wish someone had posted the research a double-digit amount of times that disproved this. /s Murray didn’t start “trading away all the assets”

The fact we have been rebuilding for 10 years when teams generally turn things around much faster suggests it’s a lesson they are already aware of. - - - On a related tangent: There are people talking about how Tampa’s “cupboard is bare” (what a terrible franchise, right lol) and that they are headed for a long stretch of bad hockey, now. Teams don’t even/haven’t operated by the same parameters the sabres have in the past, and won’t. They’ll turn it around significantly quicker than our bias would have us believe, because we only know what we are used to. The transition from evaluating your team with the lowest of expectations and by how highly rated your prospect pool is, to evaluating your team relative to the *league itself* is a long one. Sabres had a great year relative to Buffalo, and, fact remains, a poor year relative to the league. That’s what 20th place is.

Damn, wanted OT. Goalzzzz

Thanks for the reminder

Lolll that was hilarious Skinner what are you dooooing

Like seriously though. You don’t look cool, Draisaitl, you look like a dumbass. Power play, cake job fiend.

Why wear a mouth guard at all if you are just going to chew on it while it’s sitting outside of your mouth

Nah. Edmonton (especially their whiny coach) and the Leafs both suck. I’d prefer any American team in the final, for my part

Probably wouldn’t watch very much of it lol

This playoffs could be one of Canada’s better shots at a cup in a good while

Sky’s the limit for this team, now

“What did it cost?”

That they went there was one of the most telling symptoms

Exactly. You just never know how long your window will last, probably explains some of the hesitancy among some to get it started. Hockey News proclaimed: “Cup Champs 2019” for Jets. They were “ahead of schedule” in 2018. It turns out it was the only year this core managed to win a playoff round, save one early series win in “Canadian division”. Can even go back to whispers in 2015 that the Jets weren’t fixing their room, at all, when dealing Kane

I always laugh at how often the poor dude’s name gets butchered I really like their unis in general
