Thorner Posted June 4, 2023 Author Report Posted June 4, 2023 Eichel forecheck, assist, HUGE goal. Undefeated when scoring 3 What a terrible time to take a penalty lol Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted June 4, 2023 Report Posted June 4, 2023 Good game. Still disgusted with the match up, and the liklehood that Eichel will win a cup. 3 Quote
Thorner Posted June 4, 2023 Author Report Posted June 4, 2023 That what looked like a for sure high stick but the ice level view it actually looked about even with the bar if not slightly lower. Crazy Quote

Taro T Posted June 4, 2023 Report Posted June 4, 2023 Way behind because watched the Bandits championship before switching to this. But how did Staal become quick enough to score on a wrap around after being the slowest guy on an entire bad Sabres team 2 or so years earlier? 1 2 Quote
Gatorman0519 Posted June 4, 2023 Report Posted June 4, 2023 Looks like Eichel is likely winning the Cup. Ugh. Quote
... Posted June 4, 2023 Report Posted June 4, 2023 An interesting plot twist in the third. Tkachuk completely wrecked the Panthers. Quote

They sold the strategy, they sold the product, they are the professionals getting paid to make the decisions. They literally said the plan was suffering, that the plan was losing. Fans who bought in then are acting with no different ultimate intent than those buying in now: we wanted the team to be right. But, truth laid bare....I regret rooting for losses. I regret the affect it had on my mindset. I feel it was harmful and disrespectful to my own psyche as a fan of the team I love. It wasn’t a betrayal of the team, it was a self betrayal and I take personal ownership for buying into a course of action that was a mistake. I feel bad for the fans. In many ways, it led to a path that still presents strains to my fandom, still tests its durability. Never again can that happen Expand The most amusing bit of evidence I encouter against the tank nowadays is how ridiculous guys like sneaky Joe or jeremy sound having to explicitly add to every discussion on the topic a disclaimer of how objectively correct they were to support it and how they definitely do not regret that part of the strategy, just every other possible facet of the rebuild that can in theory be judged And the fact that this insistence is increasing in its tone of quiet desperation and faux certainty over time. Because we all know that the nature of real Truth is that over time, it needs to be MORE forcefully asserted, and its opposition more isolated/mocked/expunged from reasonable debate, made into caricatures to be derided, lest it be lost forever. Definitely how truth works, rather than the exact opposite of the truth Truth definitely doesn't entrench with time, settle calmly into what is obvious to any good faith observer, it needs frantic and fervent zealots to police discourse on the topic to make sure we all know that the tank was good actually No this pattern definitely doesn't mirror to other contentious topics Edited June 4, 2023 by Randall Flagg 3 1 1 Quote

The league already fabricated different rules for the Sabres in 2007 for the Tim Connolly situation. So, like "No Goal" and "The Hole in the Goal," it is a case of situational ethics. Quote

Also, I'm a Sabres Fan and Eichel can eat ballsack Expand I was born in Buffalo and still love the Sabres but moved here at an early age because my parents wanted out of New York. I have never been to Detroit but Los Angeles a lot. Downtown LA is dirty and way too many homeless and mentally ill wandering the streets. Vegas blew up with all these California transplants ***** up our city. They drive like crazy and are like a cancer they want to change everything to be just like California. I get why everyone hates Eichel but the trade worked out great for both teams. I was a huge Tuch fan and the guy was awesome in the Vegas community. I can tell you the fans loved him when he played here. I also like Krebs as I met him after they drafted him and the kid seemed to be squared away. He’s a hard worker and a good young player. Jack came here and doesn’t have to be the guy as the core of Vegas is a solid leadership group. Plus the hiring of Cassidy has been huge for his game. 1 Quote

Expand If home ice advantage is a thing, the Panthers only have to win one game in Vegas to break it (assuming they hold serve in Sunrise). If they come back to Florida tied 1-1 in the series, they will have the momentum. In the first two games, if they visitors win one, it's a victory. Quote
