DarthEbriate Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 Doc needs to quit babbling and just let the scene play out for the viewers. The guy never shuts up. Did it ricochet as well? I do love watching the Cup skate. I feel bad that they get cordoned off to just half the ice. Let them skate a full lap! There are people on the other side waiting for their photo op... and apparently flashes as well.
WildCard Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 The Cup is around once a year. How often are there boobs on the glass? Hey man, boobs are boobs
Randall Flagg Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 Did it ricochet as well? I do love watching the Cup skate. I feel bad that they get cordoned off to just half the ice. Let them skate a full lap! There are people on the other side waiting for their photo op... and apparently flashes as well. I was wondering why the skates were so short, why do they do that?
Thorner Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 I was kinda hoping Ovi would be our Ray Bourque. Oh well, still quite happy for him. Also, I think the East is a fair bit better than the West.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 Sabres should go after Grubauer. He can play, but rarely does and will be a restricted free agent.
Randall Flagg Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) I can just see it now. Eichel picks up the cup, skates it around KBC. Grown men and women all over WNY bawling their eyes out. PA sipping tea, a smile on his face, noting the slight breeze coming in through the window and the gorgeous chirps of crickets coming from his backyard, cat curled at his feet. dark's booming voice heard over the din of the delirious fans. Josie rapidly sorting through art ideas to celebrate the occurrences. A new thread appears as Jack hands off to ROR. GASabresfan has written 7 paragraphs outlining our projected cap space, free agents, and prospects, pontificating over which free agents we might keep and which we might try and add, soberly stating his concern for the third line going into next year. Flagg and Liger start arguing about Carolina Hurricanes players in said thread. All is well. Edited June 8, 2018 by Randall Flagg
Doohicksie Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 I teared up a little for Ovi. I haven't been as happy with a Cup outcome since the 1997 finals when we were living in Detroit. I've always like Ovi as a player. Hard to play against because he's rough and tumble, but also very talented. He's what a hockey player should be. I'm glad he got off the list of "Best Players to Not Win the Cup."
SabresBillsFan Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 Smith-Pelly would look good in a Sabres jersey Pelly just played his best hockey ever. This guy was pretty much on his way out of the league. I haven't been as happy with a Cup outcome since the 1997 finals when we were living in Detroit. I've always like Ovi as a player. Hard to play against because he's rough and tumble, but also very talented. He's what a hockey player should be. I'm glad he got off the list of "Best Players to Not Win the Cup." What’s not to like about Ovi the guy is a great player. This year he put it all together.
That Aud Smell Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a team as happy for one player — the captain to boot — as the Capitals were for Ovechkin.
Huckleberry Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a team as happy for one player — the captain to boot — as the Capitals were for Ovechkin. Got goosebumps seeing him lift the cup and how happy he is.

Eleven Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 I bet this team goes to White House Smith-Pelly already has implied that he won't.

bunomatic Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 ###### Pelly just played his best hockey ever. This guy was pretty much on his way out of the league. What’s not to like about Ovi the guy is a great player. This year he put it all together. Whats that say about this Sabres roster when a guy like Smith-Pelly looks better than 80% of the team. He had a good finals and showed a never say die attitude we could only wish to have. I guess what I meant to say is we need players with his will to win.
Sabre Dance Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 Yeah, yeah - Ovie won his Cup. Now he can go sit down somewhere and shut up. I never liked him or his style of play. And for whatever reason, I've always thought that the Caps were one of the most boring franchises in NHL history, and that includes this season. Vegas winning the Cup would've been a good story, but I only cheered for them because they weren't Washington. The season is (finally!) over - let's get to the draft and the awards and then concentrate on enjoying the summer. B-)
GoPre Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 This is pretty awesome: https://screengrabber.deadspin.com/the-2018-hockey-night-in-canada-season-ending-montage-i-1826658208 Soon enough the Sabres will be in a season ending montage. Soon enough.... :unsure:
LTS Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 That was classic... Man, you can see how much this means to Ovechkin The whole series you could see it too. Him winning the Conn Smythe has as much to do with him laying his body on the line to block shots as it does his scoring. He provided the foundation for his team to win. Every time I saw him he was like a kid, pure emotion, his expressions constantly mirroring what was happening on the ice. I'm glad they won. I'm happy for Ovechkin. I'm glad we can now get onto the business that is the Buffalo Sabres 2018-2019 season.
North Buffalo Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 Got goosebumps seeing him lift the cup and how happy he is.Making Russia great again :( PS I liked Ovie till he became an announce Totalitarian stooge.
bob_sauve28 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 Making Russia great again :( PS I liked Ovie till he became an announce Totalitarian stooge. In his defense, he probably had no choice but to support Putin. Doesn't want to take a fall from five stories of a Moscow apartment building
North Buffalo Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 In his defense, he probably had no choice but to support Putin. Doesn't want to take a fall from five stories of a Moscow apartment building Yeh probably true and better Caps than Vegas.. outta principle didnt want an expansion team winning it all.
miles Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Back in february there was a thread of who would win the cup. I figured it would really be a tossup between nashville and the caps. i picked the caps to win it back based off of how badly they beat the sabres and the wild. (i follow the wild too).I felt this way because the wild was a good team, and they could go head to head with nashville and it was honestly pretty evenly matched, but they were beaten easily by washington on the multiple times they played each other. Washington looked head and shoulders better. With that being said, between washington and vegas, i wanted vegas to win just for the sake of an expansion team winning in their first season. I just wish i put money on the caps in february when i picked them. i would be a happy fellow today Edited June 8, 2018 by rekim

He had a good finals and showed a never say die attitude we could only wish to have. I guess what I meant to say is we need players with his will to win. True.

LGR4GM Posted June 8, 2018 Author Report Posted June 8, 2018 Whats that say about this Sabres roster when a guy like Smith-Pelly looks better than 80% of the team.

Though he's not the most talented player around, what he does better than many is "finish." He truly showed that proclivity in the playoffs. This is called recency bias. Smith-Pelly is not good and we should not expect him to be so on the Sabres. He had a good couple playoffs games and they came in the final. That's great in all but we can't even make the playoffs let alone the finals and a guy with a career sh% like Pelly, doesn't move the needle on a team that is desperate for depth scoring like the Sabres.
Trettioåtta Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 This is a good montage https://streamable.com/y9g4g It would be nice if the Sabres produced stuff like it
