bunomatic Posted April 17, 2019 Report Posted April 17, 2019 Props to Lehner on his recovery. He's been good when he needed to be. This Islander team looks great. As to the Sabres. Not much to say as far as their mettle. Not sure they have what it takes to get through one of these playoff series even had they snuck in. So much is lacking. JBots has his work cutout. Quote

The only reason. yet, (safe assumption he’s no longer like that) tonight he showed his feistiness. So your original shot at Lehner for being fiesty (being connected only to his addiction/issues) was rather wrong and kinda immature. Don’t ya think? I don't. By Lehner's own admission this was the reason. Glad he and Berglund found their smiles. They can both pound sand. 2 1 Quote

And at the same time: I don't think it's unreasonable to think he might not be that good of a coach. I never thought he was. I thought he was in a fortunate situation to have a roster that made itself. 1 Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted April 17, 2019 Report Posted April 17, 2019 I'm beyond stunned that Tampa got swept. Hockey is flukey enough where a loss was always possible. But a sweep? Holy smokes. Congrats to Columbus. I still hate Torts, but it's cool to see them rewarded for going all-in. Now let's hope Tampa overreacts and overpays for Risto. 1 Quote

They can both pound sand. Huh? fact ... he was “feisty” in Buffalo. fact ... he is “feisty” in NY. his feistiness is him. That’s the kind of competitor he is. It’s not all alcohol induced. That’s what the convo was with inkman. Not about what Lehner has said or what Berglund is or isn’t doing. If you followed along from his first post, maybe you’ll see what I was getting at. I hope I made it clear now. Edited April 17, 2019 by Zamboni Quote

Not sure what nationality has anything to do about it. Edited April 17, 2019 by JJFIVEOH Quote
