But pretty sure their TV Network partners want as many friggin' "playoff" games as they can humanly get. Quote

Eastern Conference? I guess it’s Buffalo South and the Carolina Hurricanes. Quote

I guess it’s Buffalo South and the Carolina Hurricanes. Vancouver and Tampa Bay for me. As Vancouver is my second team of course. I don't mind Colorado. I will never root for Carolina. Ugh. Sorry! I put Carolina right up there with Toronto, and Montreal as my least favorite teams. ? I can respect Carolina, but I won't root for them to win anything. First round exit please!

Stoner Posted July 15, 2020 Report Posted July 15, 2020 And thus it is written, that Grigorenko will tally in overtime of the penultimate game thrice removed to eliminate the Sabres, officially, from the playoffs. 1 1 Quote

Well, aside from the fact that Pilut was an RFA whom we still had the NHL rights to, who we were actively trying to sign, who was an AHL All-Star, as opposed to an AHL depth player who wasn’t even property of the Buffalo Sabres, yes.

His best season is 30 in 61 games but he was getting 19 minutes a night when he did that. He will never get enough ice time or pp time to get up to 40 points. Quote

I found that completely enjoyable. Two things. Duff is a consummate pro, and Josh Allen is a true star. I think Eichel is, too, but it’s different, somehow. I find that I really like both of those guys for different reasons. 3 Quote
