Sabres Fan in NS Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 They're not even good. I have no idea what is going on right now. The whole team is just very focused right now. Seems that they are on a mission ... win one for Uncle Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Dump Nash, Hank and Staal. That's $22mil being wrapped up in places that are easily replaceable. Raanta was the better goaltender this year. Will have to do something if they want shattenkirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 They're not even good. I have no idea what is going on right now. Good fortune. Everyone on the same page, embracing their roles. Getting hot at the right time. Chris Neil. Sports are a funny thing sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) But when coming from behind do enough of their shots hit the Corsi Cornhole? That's funny. Was just talking with someone at the office about how the relevance of #fancystats (btw, more and more, Corsi/Fenwick are essentially ridiculed by people who actually use advanced stats (no better than +/- apparently (hi, pi!))) tends to diminish when you're down to something like a Game 7. Sure, advanced analytics will help a team ice a team that has the best chance of taking 100 points over an 80-game stretch. But in a single Game 7? Puck luck. Score effects. All those #fancystat hedges start getting thrown around. SPORTS! Edited May 10, 2017 by That Aud Smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre fan Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 I guess we should look at Ottawa's success as a good thing as they really do not have a lot of talent but they sure work hard and have, of course, that guy on defence. Having said that, I think our forwards stack up well and are probably better top 9 then the senators. If we can just get a coach to get the same work ethic and commitment to winning and giving their all, we should be fine moving forward. Risto can become a beast (he's close now) with proper coaching and our young guys should only get better. I still cannot believe that Booby Ryan is signed for another $7,250,000 five friggin' years! That is is just crazy. and we think we got guys with bad contracts! In the end, Ottawa should be the team we look at and say, hey we can do that too...sure gives me hope for next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Playing seeds 9 and 13 as a 12 seed while seeds 1, 2, and 4 kick the crap out of each other helps too, let's not forget that here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 This little guy is awesome ... http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/liam-hirsch-oilers-1.4107205 I hope he brings home a big win from California. GO OIL!! GO SENS!! I think an Oiler and Senator final would give Bettman and crew fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFIVEOH Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Look at that impeccable timing. I guess Sullivan is preparing for the eventual meltdown everybody expects out of Flower. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1298319-murray-to-back-up-fleury-in-game-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustache of God Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Meh, disagree, agree. Lundqvist did not have a good season, but given his track record of excellence, I have a hard time throwing him overboard for it. He may have finally gotten old--he is 35, after all. But he still posted a .930 in the playoffs, which is above his career average in both the playoffs and regular season. The Rangers probably don't even get to the second round without him. Declaring him finished is premature. Even if the Rangers wanted to dump Lundquist, I don't see who would trade for him at this point in his career. He's locked up through the 20-21 season making 8.5 per year. I can't see any team trading to take on that contract. I don't think any goalie warrants that kind of money.

I can think of a team stupid enough to do it and he won't even have to leave the five boroughs. Yes, even though they have Greiss. They are that stupid.

Thorny Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 That was not offside. Malkin is engaged. Good things for Pittsburgh. The Pens just aren't the team we saw this year, being this banged up. It looks like it's catching up to them finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pens just aren't the team we saw this year, being this banged up. It looks like it's catching up to them finally. I'm still mildly surprised they got to this point without Letang. And Crosby is a shell. I don't care what he or the team say, he's not the same as he was before the concussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
