Tons better off. Tons. Saying, “oh well they only have 1 more series win than the Sabres” is a drastic over simplification. Our seasons have been *OVER IN JANUARY* for basically a decade. We aren’t the same It’s about the journey. They’ve had seasons full of great moments and clunker endings. We’ve had nothing. No moments. Wasted years.

Nope

They are in the final 8. That’s “working” - - - On a separate note: I hope once the Sabres make the playoffs, I never let myself forget how much I wanted merely that, and the long road we all took in waiting for it. If I sound like Leafs fans do, today, even after finally getting the series win they’ve been craving for so long: just fecking shoot me

Leon the professional. Have to give him props.

Ya. Enough rationalizing for why this was actually good and questioning of our own bias. Dahlin was robbed of a nomination. Makar missed a quarter season. He wasn’t Lemieux.

Morrissey’s defensive metrics were as bad as Karlssons

Rock bottom lol

Oh so THAT’s what bot is short for

Wasn’t it’s 5-1 at the time?

5 to 1, penalty calls

I have to leave Twitter. The most common argument for why Makar deserved it was because even despite missing games he was *still* able to achieve point per game. I mean..people understand it’s easier to maintain ppg the smaller the sample size, right? That certainly doesn’t make it more impressive and it actually makes it less. Like when you play through injury instead and your ppg goes down

The people (like Paul Hamilton) arguing for Morrissey are the WORST. His defensive metrics were terrible lol. Do even one ounce or research beyond “oh the guy they are calling NORRISSEY has pointz” I beg you.

Forward positions have much more to do with D zone coverage . I’ve been talking about this forever re: Cozens being best at C (guess where he always lines up?) They aren’t playing “positionless hockey” in the D zone

Lol Makar making it over Dahlin with 60 gp is horse *****

Good stuff here

Ah ok so no more line configs got it

Mitts - Savoie - Greenway or Greenway - Mitts - Savoie ? who plays C?

Lots of speculation he’s hurt

For me, I’ll go Dahlin Power Cozens Thompson Quinn ..probably in order

Beautiful play. Ever since 18-19 and beyond his D has improved immensely. Great 2-way player I suppose Connor’s offense is so extremely good he never bothered to develop the rest haha

Laurel Gourde with the winner

One of the top playoff scorers of the last 10 years Tied for 3rd in the last 10 years, in fact

Goalz. Blown leads. 2023 playoffs
