Islanders probably could probably make it this far without Barzal - now think of what we've been asking Jack to do, the roster he's had around him. Now Barzal is a "better leader".... Can u imagine the beating Jack is going to take in the playoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you do have to be healthy to play in the playoffs. And he most likely won't see the playoffs in a Sabres uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could lead to an issue. Being up a game they might play looser and throw some hits around. The home ice thing don't mean much to two teams that play all games like road games.

Indeed, though if they keep finding guys like McAvoy they'll be in good shape. Some good young talent there still. Maybe not enough to compete if they keep losing meaningful vets, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Hall got us a 2nd-rounder we will put to good use soon, helped the Bruins get kicked in the teeth in the playoffs and worked his magic to give us 1st overall. All in all, the most successful acquisition of an overpaid, lazy failure in Sabres' history. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few games in this series that I thought Barzal carried them, and he is cool about it too. He is going to get better.

I'm pulling for Vegas first, Colorado second. I know people don't like how Vegas was built as an expansion team, but I love how they've been very competitive since then. The Pegula's should take notice. What Vegas has done just magnifies how stupid the Pegula's are as hockey people. But at least they realise how clueless they are. Oh….

Why not talk about the team and be excited for the improved play of the young guys under Granato and talk about spring boarding that next year? Instead it was all about Jack and the “disconnect”. I get it, the team around him sucks but he really comes off poorly. The interview at the end of the season was a candid expression of his frustration due to his injury situation. And also although not explicitly expressed but maybe more important is his obvious frustration being stuck on a team that has a way to go to compare to the better teams in the league. There is no doubt that the young players played better under Granato. But what is also starkly true is that the Sabres had the worst record in the league and have been shut out of the playoffs for a decade. I agree with you that Jack wasn't very diplomatic and didn't exhibit much grace. But instead of playing the insincere public relations game he told you exactly what he felt. What we learned is that there is a lot of going on between the parties involved. This wasn't your typical buuulllshiitt pro forma exit interview. It was the truth as he saw it. And for that I am not going to criticize him for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the Pegulas. But I would expect a pro scouting department <rimshot> and hockey GM to be able to do and pay/contract him accordingly. If he's a 1-year deal as a Skinner-play-with-Eichel cash grab, then you don't give him a NMC. If he doesn't want to be a team leader, then you don't give him a team leader salary. The hockey people should know he's had one great year and otherwise is just a good playmaking winger who has never elevated his team in any great capacity. 7 hours ago, Kristian said: He didn’t fade for us, as he only ever clocked-in to collect his paycheck. Bye bye Hall, you worthless hack. Congratulations on that signing Kim and Terry - Thank god “you know stuff”, you’d have me worried otherwise 😳😱🤯 Please please god, let them sign him. He did fade. He had a fantastic opening night. Inserting some icons so you know I'm partially tongue-in-cheek. 😇🍺 And screw exHCRK for starting Hutton over Ullmark in the opener. Back to Hall, he was pretty decent in zone entries and PPA early on until Eichel's continuing/lingering/new injuries dismantled that top line. And then Hall played with Staal and it was over. And then he completely checked out once they were back from COVID. (This is all in the first couple weeks of the season.) Again, it goes back to pro scouting/league information, everyone knew Hall wasn't a leader, he's a really talented JAG, and when Eichel/Ullmark/McCabe got hurt... Hall disappeared. 9 hours ago, PerreaultForever said: Bruins aren't going to sign him to more than the members of the so called perfection line.

Boston takes Rask's cash and Krejci's cash and pulls a JBott-Skinner-level deal with Hall. That'd be sweet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
