Maybe not as much as Lehner has, but Leino did describe the feeling of being in jail in Buffalo as the influence for his clothing line.

A special kind of jail where your are paid millions not to do anything.

He didn't want to play hockey.  He wanted to make music and clothing. Which is FINE.  But he had to ***** on Buffalo after signing that contract.  What an *****.

This why I dislike many former Sabres players. No respect for the team, fans or city. Oh but they'll take the money, thank you. Taylor Hall was the latest.

There is this one guy after Hall...I think his name is John or something.  But yes.  Agreed.

Lehner is and will forever be my least favorite Sabre

I ***** can’t stand that mental patient. Their I said it. He’s just an oversized goalie that once he’s down it takes forever for him to get back up.

Preds and Kings both win. Knights playoff hopes fading fast.

Canucks are also now tied in points, even in games played as well.

NHL will rig the lottery for them. *****

Saw part of the LA game. Quick was in vintage form. He keeps that going and they might stay ahead after all. 

Need Dallas to win their game in hand and then Vegas is 6 out of a wild card and 5 out of the division.

Nope.  They had their run which was very respectable.  The new darlings are the Kraken and they need help.

Or Montreal

Of course all these scenarios assume there is some way to fix the lottery and that it's actually being done.  I'm not sure I believe that.  (I mean geez, there's no way we would have had #1 OA twice in such a short period if that was the case!)

I agree… There’s too many checks and balances and eyes on the situation now… 

Was the Crosby draft fixed? Was the year after that? And how about the year after that? At some point there were too many checks and balances and eyes put in place where fixing a draft was absolutely impossible.

Yeah, those lottery ball generators are hard to rig (I think anyways) and the numbers fall where they will. It's a pretty fair system based on overall percentages.

Them winning the lottery doesn’t push them above 10th pick. We want them to win it.

I think it does. The max jump a team can make is ten positions.  So if they finish 13th worst, winning the lottery can vault them to third overall.  
 

So my understanding is we absolutely do not want them to win either round of the lottery.

There is a 2.1% chance that they could move into 6 or 7if the season ended today:  https://www.tankathon.com/nhl/pick_odds

Thank you. The point still stands that we don’t want them winning either round of the lottery 🤞

Agreed.  But with those odds, I want them in the lottery.

Washington scores first over Vegas.

Edmonton is beating Dallas 4-2 after 2.

[Broken Ankles]

Lehner pulled after the first period.  His replacement Logan Thompson let in one in the second, on 8 shots against.  Vegas down 2-1 to start the third.  Seems desperate in Sin City.
