Achilles Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 Guys, could someone explain why did BS do this last-minute move? To prove someone that we can do that, too? Quote

Ralph takes us to four finals in a row and loses all four. Like I said, buckle up. Quote

A reasonable answer would have been, "Are you crazy? Marv, even with some flaws, was a Hall of Fame coach who took the Bills to four straight conference championships. Ralph ain't that." Quote

Not just saying the ripe old vet made for TV/radio responses. What I like is that he sounds realistic about the future after this season, which, to me, indicates his head is screwed on right and that maybe his comments about the Sabres are a little more thoughtful than just the usual platitudes. 1 Quote

But the idea that Ralph could be as good as Marv isn't that outlandish to me since I was raised viewing Marv as not that great of a coach, if a great leader of men Quote

Scottysabres Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 I love Simmonds on the Sabres. Wish he would have brought Woods with him. Quote

dudacek Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Perception is an odd thing. The Oilers and Canucks are going places and are smart to add. The Flames and Leafs are in desperate trouble and have to add. The Sabres and Canadiens are dead in the water and need to push the reset button. Essentially, three wins is the difference between the first group and the last over the course of this season. Three bounces of the puck. Edited February 25, 2020 by dudacek 3 Quote
Randall Flagg Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 I will never be convinced that the Oilers don't s u c k this year Quote
WildCard Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 Simmonds gets 17 5 minutes ago, Randall Flagg said: I will never be convinced that the Oilers don't s u c k this year Checked on their roster today. Neal is outperforming himself, Kassian is too, Drasaitl is having an MVP year better than McDavid, and RNH is a free agent next year. TBH I hate the Oilers and want them to fail at every turn Quote

TBH I hate the Oilers and want them to fail at every turn I love me Sam Reinhart but it sure looks like Drasaitl should have been that second overall pick in 2014. Can I blame EXGMTM for that too?

Can I blame EXGMTM for that too? Murray pretty much had to take the guy who was more likely to turn out as a center, and that's Reinhart. As Reinhart is *hardly* a bust, I don't think we can fault Murray for taking him over Drasaitl. 3 Quote
Randall Flagg Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 I don't like the Oilers either. I really like McDavid though Quote
