Looks like hockey is the only sport being played now

That must be the thinking

Desperate to find help for their aging superstars for one last run at cup, I guess. I'd be screaming if Sabres traded away young talent like that. Assuming its good talent Yup. Toroto obviously has good forawrds, they need cap space for defenseman. Adding young players to their organization is smart

Yes !!!

Hurrah!!!

Did anyone hear the Doc Emeric comment about kicking the door along the boards at the Aud in Buffalo? Never heard that before

Bogo!

Goal called back for offsides by Tampa. Cooper freaked out, fight followed

Oh man, poor Tampa here

I’ll put it here. Henry Jones once caused a little commentary saying blacks are faster than whites or something. I want to add some context as I know it. It’s such a horrible thing the way slaves were treated, just like farm animals, in many instances. While slavery was in place, up to the civil war, a revolution in husbandry was taking place with experiments in horse, cattle, hog and most likely slave breeding. It’s undoubtedly true this happened. Now does it explain black success in sports? Who knows, but it’s a theory that some of the facts fit. It’s been a few years since I looked at this but found almost no historical reasearch on it. Maybe that changed lately. But there should be evidence in slave handling manuals, which do exist. Its a a touchy subject to say the least. To African Americans it would be akin to a rape victim discussing her attack. Many whites just want the history of slavery to be “the past” let’s move on. That movie Django came out and the cruelty and degradation it showed, which seems pretty accurate to me, was denounced as racist by Spike Lee. There is a lot of resistance. I just wish that a comment like the one J the G said could be looked at dispassionately. I don’t think it was hateful, he just had a theory that might or might not be true. White Men Can’t Jump! <—-That’s a real movie title “The black is a better athlete to begin with, because he's been bred to be that way. Because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back. And they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs. And he's bred to be the better athlete because this goes back all the way to the Civil War, when, during the slave trading, the big, the owner, the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have uh big black kid, see. That's where it all started!”

I like them. They remind me of ‘99 Sabres. Not sure they can beat Bruins if they meet, but I’m hoping.

That’s Ray Emery on Hart’s mask https://www.nhl.com/news/philadelphia-flyers-goalie-carter-hart-unveils-ray-emery-tribute-mask/c-314883656

Islanders and Flyers will be another good series. I’m guessing low scoring

They need to pressure that Boston PP more, ya, easy for me to say. Boston looks awesome

Tampa looks nervous as hell

Bruins v Lightning !! Go Bolts!!

Who knew what and when is a really interesting question. If Botts knew, would he want that news getting out? Could he trust anyone knowing? I have a feeling they tried keeping it a secret (for obvious reasons) and when the news later broke the Pagulas fired him.

I remember RJ making me laugh once, said Krupp was all over the other player, “Like an octopus!”

This team was really good until Hutton’s eyes went dead.

Wow. I’ve loved these playoffs.

Those were great seasons. Almost overlapped with Dom!

Was the LaFontain Turgeon good long term value for the Sabres? Turgeon played for many more years

Tampa has a stranglehold on series now

I turned it off after the no goal, surprised Dallas came back, wow

Maybe Bruins get made and want to trade him
