Pimlach Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 I participate in this thread because the Sabres benefit from Vegas not making the playoffs. Not because I hate Jack, I don't hate anyone. I blame the poorly executed Tank on Pegula and the people he hired, trusted, and listened to. Not at all on Jack. I blame the last 11 years on Pegula for hiring such poor GMs and interfering in hockey business when he should have known better. I am a Truman fan, the buck stops with Terry and Kim. I had nothing against Jack as a person, even though I heard things about him directly from credible sources, things describing what a jerky guy he can be. Jacks interview after the loss to Buffalo in Buffalo sealed the deal for me. I don't want Vegas to have any success with Jack and Lehner there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Vegas, if healthy and if they had legit goaltending (not Lehner), could make a run but even if they do I don't see them going all they way. In 3 years I see them being old and in need of a rebuild. Jack to Boston is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBD Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Every Sabres fan should want Jacky Boy to play poorly so he doesn't help them and the pick the Sabres get from Vegas is the highest possible. How is this even a discussion? The biggest regret is they didn't trade him before he got injured, which lowered his compensation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsabre Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 To be fair, we are all ripping on Jack’s play helping our draft position but our former goalie is doing his part too.😳 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect to Jack, I see him in Boston in 2026/2027 no matter what, as he will be a UFA and still in his 20's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they should be able to get up for asshats like Marchand but I guess if you have never played against him or only a couple times you don’t get “curmudgeon standing in line at the grocery store behind a woman counting pennies for the cashier or worse yet, writing a check” energy.

I think right about now Boston would evaluate that he is not a Bruin type player. Like Joe Thornton. Maybe that changes by the time his contract is up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he had no clue that the puck went by him and in the net is especially hilarious. I wonder if Lehner will try to blame that on the Sabres . . . .

Marvin Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Just heard that Lehner had a death in the family. No wonder the funky goals happened -- his head is not in the right place. But Lehner should not have played last night. My condolences to him and his family. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the funky goals happened -- his head is not in the right place. But Lehner should not have played last night. My condolences to him and his family. I'd read that he left a recent road trip to attend to a family emergency. Is there more news? FWIW, stories of pro athletes playing lights out in the face of a family member's death are legion -- the one that comes to mind is a game where Chris Paul dropped 61 and intentionally missed a free throw at the end in order to honour his deceased loved one. Of course, YMMV. Everyone is different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
