K-9 Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 Out of respect for my Canadian brothers, I’m doing something I’ve never done before and that is root for the Oilers to win it all. 3 Quote

Thanks for the respect. I am a 50 year Sabres fan so my desire to bring the Cup “home” is on a back burner. I am not pulling for either team this year. Panthers have their Cup but I love their game and wouldn’t be upset with a repeat. I still have a soft spot for Sam as well. My only reason to cheer for the Oilers is for McDavid’s legacy. He has won everything but a Cup and it is his motivation at this time. Couldn’t care less about Draisaitl, I have a hard time seeing him as a superstar in his own right. He is more like Malkin in my eyes, excellent player who can take over a game but not generational. Kane and Skinner winning would be irritating. Quote
TheAud Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 Rooting for the Oilers so Jeff Skinner and Evander Kane can be added to the illustrious list. Maybe Matt Savoie too? 1 1 Quote

Hawerchuk Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 I really wish the NHL would drop 10-12 games from the regular season. Its too damn long. I don't like the Cup awarded in the third week of June. It should be done by end of May. Cut out some preseason games and start the season in September. I love hockey, but there are too many games and a late trophy. Obviously this won't happen because the owners heads would explode losing money, god forbid. Just my opinion. Will Canada's drought continue.... 1993? Stay tuned. Hope the series is a good one. 1 3 1 Quote

I get the fact they won't ( $$$$$ ). 1 Quote

And it becomes an 80% league. The playoffs are the only games where you see 100% effort for extended periods. 1 1 Quote

Jeff Skinner, the person does not bother me. I certainly don’t root against him or any team he plays on. Just glad he’s not wasting a roster spot on this team (I know how worse off would they be with him). I’m hoping McDavid gets his cup. Been a long time coming. 1 Quote
Rasmus_ Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 Here's hoping Skinner can win a cup. As well as McDavid/Draisaitl, who are deserving of their chance to hoist the cup. In addititon, it's long time a Canadian market that isn't Toronto wins a cup. I never want to see that happen. 47 minutes ago, inkman said: Jeff Skinner, the person does not bother me.

Been a long time coming. Our new Jeff Skinner is Josh Norris. Though he's more injury prone. 1 Quote
RangerDave Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 Arent't the Sabres still paying Skinner? So...we can say a current Sabre (employee) is playing for the cup?? Does that count?? 🤔 3 Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 Interesting goal, Driestal didn't rush to front of net, very patient, just stopped and watched and puck came to him. Quote
GoPuckYourself Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 What a terrible goal allowed, if that isn't goaltender interference than what is? Quote
