But they will ultimately lose the series. keyword … chance Price with support from Weber & Petry gives them a chance. If Armia can get a couple more shorties, it could be interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman0519 Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 The Vegas/Colorado series has been fun so far. Man are those two teams good. The Sabres are light years away from that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if Petry will be good to go by the time Vegas/Avs has decided an opponent. I love that the NHL rushed them into back-to-back games to help catch up to other series’ and that one wraps first.

It can't be done and shouldn't be done. Cassidy is a chump for complaining about it, if you really are the big bad Bruins of the past, go out and win the next two games and prove you are better.......but quit whining its unbecoming Lindy used to be a great whiner about refs. Did you say this back then? I'm going to guess no. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bruins do and always have gotten the benefit of the doubt. Because the Bruins PK got smoked tonight everyone is whining. Pitt gets away with more than the Bruins and I complain about them just as much. And believe it or not, Mario Lemiuex (Pens owner) is my favorite player of all time. But his team gets treated with kid gloves, just like Boston and Toronto. Could even add the Rangers. I'd agree on Pitt (especially Crosby) and Toronto (at home). Montreal at home in the past too. But not Boston. definitely they do not get better refereeing almost never. There was actually a study several years ago that found teams that wear black (this was all sports) got more penalties on average. Seen as the villains or something. I remember reading that. Sorry don't have a reference, it was quite a while ago but it was supposed to be a statistically significant conclusion. It's the Bruins though. I don't really care one way or the other. I just like the series and the physical hockey and want the refs to stay out of it as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the Bruins are good, but the Islanders are getting points from Barzal,and their depth players are contributing too. Varlamov is great. When that Islanders team is going, look out. Love this series so far. First non-Sabres playoff series I’ve watched every game in. Yup, that’s what the Pegulas have turned me into - A playoff-craved hockey addict, who is forced to root against the Leafs, Bruins and Flyers. 3 hours ago, PerreaultForever said: I'd agree on Pitt (especially Crosby) and Toronto (at home).

Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 GO HABS!! I really am beginning to think that this is their year. Reminds me of '93 when no one gave them a chance and Roy was just lights out, especially in all those OT games, 3 of which were in the sweep of the Sabres, if I recall correctly. That was the 'May Day' playoff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like they are one of the dastardly duo, eh. cause I grew up on this stuff......... Montreal was the hated 70s rival and when we beat them it was pure joy. Toronto sucked in those days so they weren't worth hating like they are today. Montreal fans would come into Buffalo for those games and it was true rivalry. It's an ingrained hate based on history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomper Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 How can you not love what Montreal is doing. They are built for the playoffs and it shows. Price has hit that elusive switch and the D and all 4 lines play with such great gap control. They'll be a pain for either LV or COL. The odds are long but I would put it past them to pull off another upset. Double-plus: they beat the Leafs in embarrassing fashion. What's not to like?

Eleven Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 I can't hate Montreal and never could. I don't have a second-favorite, but if the Sabres were to be suddenly vaporized or something (if that hasn't already happened), I'd be a Habs fan. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying their bad people, but I don't like the team from that. If I'm rooting for a Canadian team it's Vancouver or Calgary hands down.
