I don't think they are done, but they have to win both of the next two games in STL. Tough task, St. Louis is a very good hockey team.

PerreaultForever Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 One of the hardest things about being a Sabres fan lately is watching players who bailed on us or we bailed on them do well for other teams. Lehner and ROR were both great tonight. Maybe it is the water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) ROR quit on our team akin to his older brother did with the Amerks. I will never forgive him for that. You don’t tell the media that you didn’t give a full effort all 82 games and then claim to want to stay. He’s a snake and needs to burn in Hell. Lehner I’m less angry with only because I feel bad for his previous problems and we were nice enough to keep that private while giving him a fresh start. WPG and TBL wake the hell up! Im starting to worry about the worst possible scenario of a Leafs vs Blues final which I wish it could end inconclusively due to a Spanish Flu outbreak like the one in the early part of the 1900’s Edited April 13, 2019 by thewookie1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thwomp! Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Columbus won the first two on the road against Washington last year in the playoffs. We know how that turned out for both teams. Columbus has never won a playoff series. They've never even won 3 games in a series before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a lot of people saying Tampa would win four straight a few days ago. I think so. People are burying them right now, and they may lose Kucherov for a game.

He literally stated he fell out of love with the game and had difficulty motivating himself. If I were his teammate I would suddenly begin to wonder if he wasn’t working his hardest. Minor inconsistencies suddenly become reason to not trust him, regardless of the truth. Combine that with his brother’s infamous quitting on the Amerks and you can easily conclude he wanted out and had quit on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 ROR didn't quit. However, many give lehner a pass for demons, when it's been highly speculated, and known to many locals that ROR had a major drinking problem, take with a grain of salt, but I believe this to be true. Sadly, I'm becoming a bit sour on our core, but that is not a convo for this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and Blue can continue to think ROR was scapegoated but I honestly will always believe there was far more to it than that. Thus I will always despise him for that and for seemingly re-finding his love in St. Louis. So I pray the Blues lose by round 2 not only because of him but for their draft pick which if one of CBJ, VGK, DAL, or COL make it out of the 2nd round we'd get the 19th pick.

Look at all the discouraged fans on this forum. Lots of people have lost their love of hockey during the Sabres tank years. Can't say I blame him at all. Yes there may be more to it, but it's clear that the Sabres traded away one of their best players for a bag of beans. It certainly hurt them this season; the long-term effect is TBD but it's hard to image the return will be worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
