Florida potential disadvantage intensified. VERY interesting. Expand Particularly when it was obvious the layoff would hurt Florida Quote

This is what happened a lot during the goon era. Expand What happened in the goon era was the goonier teams (Flyers, Islanders) did not get enough penalties, hindering the skilled teams in a playoff series. In fact, the skilled teams would often retaliate and then get the penalties. It was like officiating you saw on TV watching professional wrestling. 1 1 Quote

Expand Since you've brought it up again, I'll give my answer. I don't care. He can win that and whatever. I don't have to wish hatred and dwell on or in negativity over Jack Eichel. He just doesn't matter much to me anymore. 3 Quote

Thorner Posted June 7, 2023 Author Report Posted June 7, 2023 This somehow makes the Sabres playoff drought worse. 17 of these teams have made the *final* since the Sabres last played a playoff game, more than half the league absurd 2 Quote

Didn’t realize NYI and Tor were the only two “made it befores” with a longer drought than us. Every other team that has made a final was there in the 2xxx’s. 1 Quote

Even including all teams only Coyotes get added as a team that’s waited longer. Jets arguable but certainly not a continuous drought as you aren’t “waiting” if you don’t have a team Quote
