LastPommerFan Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 I'm excited that we managed to win this thing without getting any worse than last year (better in fact). Arizona drop more than 30 points. That's one hell of a tank. We improved, and finished with an honest effort. The hockey gods will smile on that.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 Sure, why not? Just 1 question: wtf is that raven picking at? A decomposing turtle? Cool. It's not a raven. It's a crow. We grow them extra big in NS. He is a member of our crow family that have nested in our yard for generations. This winter has been particularly harsh. They are trying to nest now and there is very little construction material, or food, around. He is eating a piece of raw lamb we had given them. Yes. We spoil our wildlife, but they are part of the family.

That's one hell of a tank. We improved, and finished with an honest effort. The hockey gods will smile on that. I agree - couldn't have ended better. The team played with integrity, improved at the end but still retained 30th place. The front office only made prudent moves for the future (assuming Kane grows up in Buffalo). Now we can move on. No matter what kind of fan you were this year I think it was understandable and we can all move on together!

Hahaha I'm glad you're owning up to it, good man Derrico :lol: :thumbsup: I too saw a ton of bets this season, anyone else care to tell us the results of them?

Assuming he didn't die along the way, Sicknfla owes the charity of my choosing $50, and as soon as Nolan is fired, D4rk owes $20. I tried to get Tank into an avatar bet during one of this (many :p ) breakdowns down the stretch, but he didn't bite. Shame really, I was very much looking forward to chicken little talking hockey :D

3putt Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 I nominate Dave Tippett for the Jack Hoff, Mezzaros for the Snorris,GMTM for executive and the MVP Jonathan Toews.
wjag Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 I nominate Dave Tippett for the Jack Hoff, Mezzaros for the Snorris,GMTM for executive and the MVP Jonathan Toews. Toews for MVP is a slam dunk, unanimous ballot
X. Benedict Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 Cody Hodgson has to win the Shart Ross. Led the team last year, and had a 31 pt drop in production while playing in 6 more games.
3putt Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 Most Vicious Punkslap.... I agree with Hodgson, but Weber's late game penalties were worthy as well. Has a d ever challenged for the Shart Ross?
