Thank God it wasn't Matthews. Good lord, how awesome would a TO/EDM final be?

The only solace is that Tampa lost.

From where that ref was, I can see why he didn't call that high stick. If he calls that and it was one of those fakes where the stick didn't hit him, but he acts like it did, then they go on to win on an undeserved power play, that's way worse than just not calling anything.

Tampa's been getting away with some blatant, more than usual, interference all third as well. Whatever. I absolutely hate Tampa, but Matthews' face going to break just tells me TO is losing this game. He's kind of a drip.

When you can’t fire the entire team, it’s easier to just fire the coach. 😂

Bruins fans are ***** idiots. And I mean that in the best possible light that that could be meant. And WEEI are even bigger ***** idiots.

I like 'em. Sorry.

That was awesome.

That was awesome. I still like him and am glad it was him.

And Tampa…

Ullmark with no chance. That was a perfect shot.

Not sure that is true, but I will take your word for it.

Is that tripping? I genuinely don't know.

They too go south pretty quickly, unfortunately. Dude, we already know that you are from PA.

Dude,… I'm out until September. I miss DeLuca. … and Ghost.

I never thought he sucked because I'm not an over-reactive immature fan. Ya know what, you are right. He ***** sucked. Now he's great. Thank god they let a kid develop. Glad they determined he wasn't a bust like you and Buffanill. I miss the days of all those stretch pass dissertations. The only difference between now and then is they they often end up in the net now.

Who GAF? What are we talking about here? I could see he had skill. Granato could see he had skill. Adams could see he had skill. He was never garbage. And odds tell you how often they are wrong. And I'm not going to do your homework for you.

The average age of an NHL rookie is between 22 and 23 three years old. There are plenty of rookies that have performed the same and given the same leash. I'm not going to list them because your mind is made up and don't care to change it. I am very grateful that you are not responsible for the Sabres roster.

No. It's about timing. That's on you for have ridiculous expectations for a 22 year old on a crappy team. If you are even thinking the term bust about a guy in his early 20s, then you are just an uneducated hockey fan, or just being a dick.

Fine. I still think it's a crap way to talk hockey. Not unlike that sentence.

Not sure about that game misconduct.

I ***** hate statements like this. He was never garbage. He was a kid that hadn't developed yet who should have never been playing in the NHL yet if he wasn't on a garbage franchise (at the time).

Who?

Gaetano’s. I don’t know if there is an original location, but I went to a brand new one, in one of those dystopian apartment/business district/condo/fake town square things that are popping up everywhere, and my cheese steak was AWESOME.

Idle, wishful speculation by SabreSpacer: Buffanil "could" spontaneously combust and stop wasting our time. It "could" happen. But like this Rousek "story", it won't
