2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Rnd 3

[clink]

Oh boy, if Edm loses TWO Stanley Cup Finals in a row 🙏 

I'll NEVER forgive their D bag HC for the shade he threw at the Bills during last year's cup finals 

May they lose 4 straight!!!!

So, after DeBoer’s comments about Ottenger….. is he likely to want moved?

[Thorny]

Looking forward to the final. You know McMouthguard will be kicking himself if another chance to cement his legacy slips away. Should be a close one.

Mc Mouthguard? Idk man, Tkachuck is the king of chomping down on those bad boys lol. It's like he's at an old country buffet with that thing half out of his mouth.

No I call him McMouthgaurd because he quite literally doesn’t skate without it dangling out. He literally must remove it from his locker stall thinking, “and now I will grab the item I hold between my teeth as I play”. Not using literally figuratively either: he does not skate with it in. He’s well past Tkachuk! Haha

I don't think Ottenger is the one leaving town...

Evan Rodrigues gets the puck. Good for him.

Trade UPL straight up for Ottenger.  
 

GET IT DONE JARMO!!

If that happens, the Dallas GM would be committed for insanity. And Jarmo would be charged for a felonious theft. However, I do see Jarmo working to bring in a veteran goalie to our questionable mix at that position. You may be right that UPL could be dealt in the offseason. He had a big-time opportunity to secure the position for himself. He didn't live up to the task.

Whenever someone mentions chewing of the mouthguard, the first image that pops into my head is Tkachuk.

I can’t believe yet another ex-Sabre is going to win the cup immediately upon leaving.

The hockey gods can ***** off.

Meh, he's played 2 games in the playoffs and wasn't traded. Not the same as the Eichel/Samson/ROR.

Exactly, I don’t view it the same as those others. He’s a black ace who is only in due to injuries.

Besides, they haven’t won anything yet, one of his defensive lapses may cost them a game.

I agree with you that It's not the same situation as it was with Eichel and Reinhart who are instrumental players on their respective teams. But Skinner's former teammates do have to have some feelings that it takes being on another team to make the playoffs and vie for the cup. I'm sure many of this Sabre buddies are saying to themselves: I wonder how it feels because I haven't come close to having that experience where I am?
