The team with the 18th best regular season record. 🙄 We can only hope Tampa wins and repeats as the Cup winner. I am pulling for NYI to beat Tampa. I’m in the anyone but Tampa camp. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though they've been in our division for every year except this one. (The only one left is Boston.) I just can't. They are classic, they aren't dirty, there's nothing there to hate. I'm happy that they're in instead of "we bought a team" Vegas. 1 minute ago, Pimlach said: I am pulling for NYI to beat Tampa. I’m in the anyone but Tampa camp.

Gatorman0519 Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Being a Sabresfan I just enjoy good playoff hockey and pull for whomever…we will probably never see what MTL is experiencing again. At least not anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC Scouts Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Much like the Bills of the early ‘90’s…How many times will Vegas “go to the well” and come up empty? When will the wheels really start to come off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not a young man, and yet you forget 1980. I can't be mad about Vegas, the league wants over half a billion for a franchise that the rest of the leagues owners are going to benefit financially from when they get their piece of that fee and then teams willingly gave them assetts to make them take certain players. Vegas did a great job of working within the rules given and did even better then the 'experts' thought they would. Is it Vegas's fault the Pens wanted them to take Fleury, and Florida gave up assetts so they would take Marchessault? They have FA's wanting to sign there and have also made some good trades. Problem this year is that they seem to be wanting to push Fleury out the door, I can't remember a time when a playoff team was having success and the coach decides to give his starter time off to rest during a series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not a young man, and yet you forget 1980. I don’t forget 1980, but it’s in the past. The Islanders have built a team that plays a game I like. I pull for Montreal because of the tradition. Prior to the Sabres I was watching a 6 and 12 team NHL and the Habs were the best. I also loved Bobby Orr but that didn’t make me a Bruins fan. I’ll take the Islanders over Tampa because I just don’t like a Florida team repeating, especially one that is way over the salary cap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool that they handed it out. 1. I really didn't know that! Thanks. 2. You're probably right. There also were multiple articles, essays, and probably books about how no international series would be played in Canada this year, too, but that ended as soon as it was clear that Montreal was in the semis. (It would have been the same for Toronto, also, but not for the Prairie teams. Not enough votes in Manitoba or Alberta.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I performed at my job the way Staal did at his for 3 months, I'd be fired on day 2. He gets rewarded with this. If he had showed up and merely been bad, then whatever. But he was mentally checked out before he ever got here, and instead of leading kids, he helped create a festering situation that lost people their jobs. He never bothered trying here, and it was evident from period 1 of game 1 Edited June 25, 2021 by Randall Flagg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more concise version would be Glass, Krebs, Tuch, Smith/Fleury, 2021 & 2022 1sts But then I still felt it was a tad light so I added Hague. From there it slowly spiraled into a 10 player deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even Fleury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
