I'm stunned 😂 Yeah, he glided the last 20', after he'd spent 120'+ getting up to max speed. The glide didn't mitigate the momentum he already had. Was absolutely livid when Gilmour blew up Varada in '01 after running from the boards near the penalty box to the benches with only 2 minutes & no supplemental discipline. Was the wrong call then. Cool that they got it right this time. God only knows if they'll get it right again the next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 McAvoy sure has become the complete package hasn't he? That guy is dominant. Oh man, that draft still bugs me so bad. He was the guy I wanted. Bruins definitely have their star D man that they always seem to have. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember liking McAvoy a ton before that draft and thinking the Sabres were picking too high for him, but I would be happy if they “reached.” Only other guy I recall feeling that way about pre-draft was Quinn. Hope I am just as right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd remind ppl McAvoy is 3 years Dahlin's senior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, he is fully formed now so to speak. Dahlin can still get better, but at this point I'd say it's unlikely he turns out to be more complete than McAvoy. Better offensively possibly, but his D game has a long way to go and McAvoy is strong too. Much better all around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I processed out and returned my badge, laptop, iPhone and credit card this afternoon after 39 years and 10 months. I performed that last day service to many others. The real Punch could only dream of the longevity and autonomy I had. What fun. I am pleased with my career. I guess I’m starting the 3rd period? Looking forward to it. Tip that hat back and enjoy.

Kong Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 After getting suspended for the fraction of a second late hit on Evans, Schiefele not only has to suffer a four game suspension, but his parents and family are now being bullied. Brutal! Dale Hawerchuk mentored this guy. He's a great player. He's no goon and this is first offense. I think he just missed the timing of the hit and it was unintentional. He should have been suspended maybe two games tops. https://www.tmz.com/2021/06/04/mark-scheifele-family-harassed-cheap-shot-hit-jake-evans-nhl-winnipeg-jets/ On the other hand, wishing all the best to Evans for a speedy recovery. I've had six concussions. It's not fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watched the way he played most of the third period, you would not be of this opinion. He was unhinged. None of it justifies dragging his family into it, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about throwing your hat into the Sabres coaching ring? I'm sure you could do a lot better than half the guys they've hired in the past and who they seem to be looking at now.

Randall Flagg Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Vegas play some of the best playoff hockey I've ever seen honestly.
