French Collection 425 Report post Posted July 28 I just need Columbus to win their series so Leafs nation can just shut up. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjd1001 104 Report post Posted July 28 11 minutes ago, French Collection said: I just need Columbus to win their series so Leafs nation can just shut up. I'd rather see the Leafs beat the Jackets in a long, back and forth 5 game angst filled series...only to have their head handed to them in the next series. Just as enjoyable for me...but it ensure no chance they get that top pick. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I think of “cool” NHL players, Ovi and Malkin and Subban come to mind. Aostan seems pretentious to me. Like his parents could be Chet and Muffy, and he overvalues some unknown indie band that thinks they’re ironic And misunderstood but in reality their music just sucks. Also the mooning incident doesn’t sound “cool” to me either. Maybe when I was 12ish. Edited July 29 by Andrew Amerk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That can't even be dismissed with "just someone being a young kid" either, it was straight ridiculous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thorny 2,396 Report post Posted July 29 Fantastic short handed effort from Kapanen and Kerfoot to combine for a goal. A few boxes ticked for the Sabres, there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol I'd rather some newbie fans get a title and hooked on the game than some long standing fans of other teams who have been beaking me about the Sabres for years. Shh.

Even if he's pretty good he probably won't live up to what Montreal fans will expect/want. Personally I think Byfield might turn out to be the better player.

carpandean 336 Report post Posted July 30 (edited) Why isn't this the 'Stanley Cup Qualifiers 2020 Thread'? 🤨 This is like watching the end of the season, after the Sabres have been officially eliminated, to see who makes the playoffs. Wake me when the actual playoffs start ... 😴 (In all seriousness, I forgot that they had started.) Edit: apparently, that's because they haven't really started.

Randall Flagg 4,265 Report post Posted August 1 (edited) The Canes are incredible at creating offense with the puck. They started building toward this in 2015. Jason and Ralph talking about how important it is that our guys are so close was/is nice, but it takes a long time to get this good at hockey, and it still feels like we haven't started down a road that will develop into something like this on the ice yet given that we are still the worst chance-generation team in the league three years running Edited August 1 by Randall Flagg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
