Florida potential disadvantage intensified. VERY interesting. Particularly when it was obvious the layoff would hurt Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimlach Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 17 hours ago, Marvin said: Honestly, if the officiating keeps up like this, I expect Florida to decide that if they are going to get over-penalised anyway, then they will make sure to "earn" the penalties. This is what happened a lot during the goon era. What happened in the goon era was the goonier teams (Flyers, Islanders) did not get enough penalties, hindering the skilled teams in a playoff series. In fact, the skilled teams would often retaliate and then get the penalties. It was like officiating you saw on TV watching professional wrestling. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m picturing Tkachuk pointing up in the crowd, referee looking for what he’s pointing at. Tkachuk then spears Eichel in the groin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What *also* happened, and still happens, is that the goonier teams get away with stuff because "it's not that bad for a Bruin" or something. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the playoff thread. I said it 5/15. I know, I know, I need a better PR agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you've brought it up again, I'll give my answer. I don't care. He can win that and whatever. I don't have to wish hatred and dwell on or in negativity over Jack Eichel. He just doesn't matter much to me anymore. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I want them to. Make it hurt It drives home the point that you should never try to lose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted June 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 This somehow makes the Sabres playoff drought worse. 17 of these teams have made the *final* since the Sabres last played a playoff game, more than half the league absurd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t realize NYI and Tor were the only two “made it befores” with a longer drought than us. Every other team that has made a final was there in the 2xxx’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even including all teams only Coyotes get added as a team that’s waited longer. Jets arguable but certainly not a continuous drought as you aren’t “waiting” if you don’t have a team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to explain this to my less enthusiastic hockey fan friends. They simply cannot comprehend how a league can operate this way.
