After 120 minutes, my expectations go down. It's so great that the game started at 3, though--who among us could have watched a 2am seventh period?

darksabre Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 MFT Bruins just got a real weird one in their favor. Mrazek had the puck covered on the ice with his glove and then has it hacked out from under his glove right to a Bruins player who puts it in for the goal. Guess it's open season on goalies in 2020. Carolina comes back with a shortie breakaway goal for vengeance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Canes are being outshot 21-9 at the start of the 3rd. Don't see that often from Carolina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see that often from Carolina Bruins putting it together. They might have started slow but being an older team they might benefit from the long rest before the playoffs Hope not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 NHL doing their best to rig this for Boston. Idk who my announcer is but he's railing the refs and it's great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I think a lot about what might have been if the Sabres had picked Bergeron in the same draft as Vanek. So many bad players picked before Bergeron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many bad players picked before Bergeron. Bergeron went in the mid 2nd (#45); the Sabres first two picks were #5 and #65; we had traded away #35 to Nashville in a slew of trades that got us Jochen Hecht and Dan Paille. More to the point was missing out on Joe Pavelski (7th) and Dustin Byfuglien (8th). This kind of ex post facto wishing might look great now, but in 2005-6, we had the up-side.

I’d rather have Vanek than Byfuglien by a non negligible amount, personally. Edited August 12, 2020 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarification: We could have had both Vanek and Byfuglien (8th round) / Pavelski (7th tound) if we had valued them a bit differently. I would not trade Vanek for Byfuglien either.

SHAAAUGHT!!! Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 7 hours ago, nfreeman said: Not me. The 2001-2002 Sabres needed offensive, not defense. We had puck movement and ruggedness from the back-end already and a good crop of young dmen in Soupy, Kalinin, McKee, and Tallinder. The Sabres needed a scoring forward (Vanek) and ended up getting their own two-way scoring center and captain when they traded for Chris Drury in 2003. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
