Thankfully they’ll now be a team in the final I can root for.

I assume they would be sending 2-3 roster players to Buffalo, with a prospect and pick. Maybe even Fleury.

Will they now enter the Eichel sweepstakes to get a star player to put them over the top before their window closes? 🤔

What a craptacular Stanley Cup final. The team with the 18th best regular season record. 🙄 We can only hope Tampa wins and repeats as the Cup winner.

What a crap play, passing in front of the net in OT. Tampa had a chance to rest up and blew it.

If McNabb was so good the Kings wouldn’t have left him exposed in the expansion draft. This may be a situation where the players around him in Vegas make him look better.

The topic was Fasching not Deslauriers.

I don’t think it’s a whiff to acquire a prospect who shows skills to that point. McNabb wasn’t even a regular in the lineup. The Sabres had a need for a power forward.

To be fair Fasching looked like a great power forward prospect in college, a Vanek type of scorer. But he couldn’t make the transition to the pros.

So you equate an attempt to injure with an extra player skating to the bench. 🙄

The extra players were at center ice and had no impact on the play. Technically a penalty but practically they didn’t make a difference.

You could see he lost a skate edge when he got pushed. When that happens at that speed you can’t control your direction.

BS call on Tampa, he clearly got shoved into goalie.

Again, don’t hate a team for being smart enough to know the rules. I wish the Sabres were run as well as Tampa has been for the past decade. Many of their players were seasoned in Syracuse.

Tampa didn’t cheat, they used the rules available for maximum benefit. I’d be upset if the Sabres were in the same position and didn’t do it. Blame the owners and NHLPA who agreed to such rules. I’ll be rooting for Tampa to beat Vegas in the finals.

Frank’s Sunny Italy in Buffalo. Big portions and everything’s good. I like Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse, but it’s hard to get in to, and then your on top of each other inside, and service is sometimes slow. The Rochester location near the arena was more comfortable. For franchise restaurants it’s Texas Roadhouse. Best chili I’ve ever had.

Well 2 of the 3 teams I can’t stand lost; Edmonton and Toronto. Now we need Boston to lose.

It’s all because the North division had to play a week of regular season games after everyone else was done because Vancouver had so many games to make up due to Covid postponements. The league didn’t want to wait for them. So it’s continued into the playoffs.

Woohoo! Can’t believe I’m so excited about a Habs win. But anybody but Toronto. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I will say that once Granato took over they were at least entertaining, and I was interested in seeing the new kids play. But by then they already lost a lot of viewers who didn’t come back.

And in a year when due to Covid there wasn’t much else to do, that’s pretty bad.

Yeah baby! Jets comeback from 4-1 deficit to win in OT. Up 3-0 in games.

Woohoo! Winnipeg in OT goes up 2 games. McDavid no points so far.

They should use a middle round pick on the giant goalie son, Owen Parker.

That’s an example of why Crosby is the complete player that McDavid has yet to become. The kind of leader who gives his all to win Cups.
