Flashsabre

He is also 6 feet tall which makes him kryptonite to most scouts. Hopefully the Levi’s and Wolf’s of the world are opening up the scouts eyes that it is not about size but ability to stop the puck.

Lindholm and Backlund were two of them

I’m confused. Is Bob Essensa only a genius goaltending coach in the regular season and a terrible one in the playoffs?

Boston fans are fine because they know the NFL will be back and Brady, Gronk And Belicheck will lead them to another..........oh wait

Who had Colorado,Boston and TB all out in the first round?

All my buddies are diehard Leafs fans except one who is a diehard Panthers fan. This will be a fun series.😀

One of the biggest upsets ever. Over 40 point difference in the teams. Boston’s goaltending let them down this series. Bergeron definitely looked like a guy who is done at the end there. Probably Krejci too. It will be a new reality for Boston next year.

This is a great point. That group was not capable of being leaders. Breaking them up and putting them on teams with established leadership has allowed them to play their games and be successful. The young leadership here will lead to success in the near future.

That is the biggest part of the story. Krueger neutered so many offensive players. The sad part is I think we would see this Montour on Buffalo now with Granato and his system. He would be the perfect piece back there. Montour is a guy having a career year. No playoff goals before this year. 5 in the series.

They just broke it down on HNIC. Tkachuk played Swayman like a fiddle. Got in his face all game. Goes to the net and Swayman punches him in the back. Loses where the puck is and next thing it is past him.

The Leafs will be a totally different team. The weight of the world is off their shoulders now.

Did you drop the Bruins the day the Sabres debuted or did you cheer for both for a while?

Anytime I see someone mention a player they like for this draft on any Sabres site the automatic response is “he will be long gone by the Sabres selection” By my calculations 27 players will be selected in the first 12 picks of the draft.😀 They will have their choice of about half a dozen very talented forwards at their pick. Whether ASP or Reinbacher will be there is unknown. I have a feeling one of them will be but will the Sabres see them as the best player available will be the key. There seem to be a good group of dmen that will go late first into the second round.

Maybe the comment want directed at you.

Go back and read this board when Montour was here. You all wanted to drive him to the airport. Let’s not pretend this was the way he was playing for Buffalo.

Wolf Blitzer and the “Breaking News Arena”🤣

Novikov has 3rd pairing big physical defensive dman traits. Neuchev is very young but the kid has star traits to him. If he develops properly he could turn out to be an impact player 3 years from now.

Savoie with 1g,2a as Winnipeg win 6-2 to go up 2 games to none against Saskatoon.

Canadian Tire Centre is in Kanata which is outside of downtown. The idea was to build it out there and then everything would be built up around it. That never happened. There is really nothing wrong with the arena other then being in the middle of nowhere. It is not easy for everyone to get to. Lebreton Flats is prime downtown real estate that was put up for bid. The Sens won the bid to develop the land into an arena and entertainment district. That was when Melynyk was still alive. I don’t know if they ever bought the land or just won the bid.

Read the edit I just added to my post

It’s not just the Sens team. It is the land in downtown Ottawa, Lebreton Flats, that will be transformed into an arena and entertainment district. Edit: After reading the article it states: - they would buy the team and arena. They would bulldoze the arena and develop the area in Kanata. The mayor doesn’t want that area left with nothing. - they would then build a new arena and entertainment district downtown, Lebreton Flats or other area

New GM might have to make a lot of moves there.

A lot of rumours out there that your contract demands are ridiculous. Board might have no choice but to move on if you insist on pricing yourself out of our salary structure.😜

https://www.forbes.com/sites/danschlossberg/2022/10/14/hall-of-fame-closer-bruce-sutter-made-the-most-of-free-agent-pact/amp/ It actually ended at the end of 2022 when he passed. The bottom of the article explains it. Just crazy. “That convinced the Braves to sign him to a six-year, $9.1 million deal with much of the money deferred. Although he gave Atlanta just 40 saves over three injury-riddled seasons, Sutter wound up a big winner. His pact provided $4.8 million in deferred money that would pay 13 per cent interest over a 36-year period. Once it expired in 1990, Sutter started receiving an annual stipend of $1.3 million per year, pushing its total value to almost $50 million, making it one of the biggest in baseball at the time.”
