Called it last summer, Bowman is not a good GM. There was a great article on it too

 

BTW, Ken Holland? Also, not a great GM

You are missing all sorts of context on that one.

 

Anyway, not bothering to watch the Sabres tonight upon my return home. Sad to say. Instead, watching St. Louis - Colorado. It’s like a game seven to get into the playoffs. Mind blown.

Seems about on par for the poster that wrote it

For everything about jeffismagic, at least he made the offseason bearable

Eichel should take a long look at MacKinnon and realize what he needs to be

[Randall Flagg]

Barzal finished with 85 points. He tied Malkin in rookie scoring (albeit 1 year older) in a league that scores quite a bit less than that one.

This year was comparable to those old years now. It's been a great offensive year

As long as Marchand doesn't score 14 goals tomorrow Ovie wins his 7th Rocket.

Digging this one game playoff between the Blues and Aves.

First time since 1966 that a coach wasn't fired in the NHL during the season

The NHL,just screwed St. Louis 1/3 as violently as they did theSabres in 1999. this league.

Twice in a row, the last place team has made the playoffs the following year. 

Next year we make it 3.

McDavid is the first player since Gretzky to win 2 Art Rosses before the age of 22.

And we tanked for a pouty wannabe.

 

 

I do like Jack... Most of the time

The offside challenge? Was there an angle that showed it clearly over the line?

The St. Louis feed had one. It was out. Seven minutes for the review and the league just shrugged.

 

I think the offside review is dumb. Much like the toe in the crease rule was dumb. But if you're going to have it...

The penalty for losing an offside challenge worked well in my opinion. It almost eliminated the close reviews like that one. I did see angle from the blue line camera. It's so close and it's probably over, but probably isn't the standard when the call on the ice was that the puck stayed in.

The fact that we're even discussing this really grinds my gears. I don't disagree with your take in a sane reality, but that's not what we're dealing with. If we're going to have the stupid rule the stupid rule should applied accordingly. The ret-con here is a problem.

Can we get a ruling on a technicality? Though the Rags' season is done (some would say it was over the day the letter was sent out ;)), the league regular season is still on going today & teams still play today.

[Randall Flagg]

I thought that puck definitely stayed in.

 

Blues choked their whole season away anyway. It shouldn't have come down to that.
