Not sure of your age. I think you're transitioning from young adulthood to very early middle age. You're a certain kind of fan at 20 and a different kind of fan at 40.

37. I mean I’d say 40 is middle middle age so I’d be early middle age currently transitioning to that. But I know what you mean because people don’t consider middle age till at least 40 so early 40s would be “early stages of being middle aged” 

I dunno if that’s specifically relevant though. Maybe? That’s part of why I need the sabres to be good. You do raise a thoughtful point, I was 19 when the Sabres beat Ottawa 7-6 in OT. I’ll be at least double that when they do it again. More of my life will have been lived since 

it’s..I don’t even know what it will be like. I told you, I’m worried about how all this shakes out

Ruff needs to turn Tage into a guy who plays with an edge a la Evander Kane?

Expand  

In 2024 you really want to talk about Evander Kane and put up a meme of a monkey suit? Really? REALLY? 

Think it over.

Jeebus Christmas, man. This post ⬆  ranks among the worst I've ever responded to on this board.

I'd suggest you think about things a little less.

And not for nothing: That meme depicts an animatronic orangutan (so, a great ape - not a monkey) that is malfunctioning in such a way as to amusingly suggest questions to the viewer like "bro, you serious?" It is a modern classic. One of my favourites.

In a neat irony, the prior post suggesting that Ruff could unlock Tage's inner Evander Kane qualifies as a whopper of a bad take as well.

Yes it is. and it's not always appropriate. But whatever. Stand on the ground you want to.

Teams up 3-1  I wonder. I think we’re going to a game 7 here with Ranger and bruins series I  thought the rangers and panthers were in control 

Expand  

They're both up 3-2. That's not control? I'm not saying it can't happen though. But the only way each lose control at this point is if they lose the series. 

[Night Train]

Dallas draws first blood again. Outscored Colorado 7-0 in the first period this series. 

[...]

Finally a little energy in a later second round game.

[...]

Wow, what a period of hockey. Dallas had turned the entire Avs bench into a pretzel. 

[Pimlach]

Maker ties it up. 

[TheAud]

Casey with the go-ahead. 

I am really rooting for an Avs win. If there is a game 6 on Friday, I'll be there.

Looks like the PhenomenOtter is more of a MediOtter tonight.

Yep. I’ve been happy for all the guys that escape this organization and actually get to play meaningful hockey. Except maybe Okposo this year.

Where was this Colorado team the past 3 games?

[OverPowerYou]

Any of these 8 teams could make it to the finals. I have no idea what to expect

They dug down, but keep in mind Dallas was not as good. Different type of play but it was a lot like Boston Florida in that Boston dug down but Florida wasn't as good. Both series could still be over in 6. 

But all 4 series into game 7s would be excellent entertainment.

Yeah I thought this myself. A real strong final 8 teams. 

[Wyldnwoody44]

Big night tonight, can Carolina hang on and force a game 7? 

Will Edmonton show up without needing the PP to get them through?

Vancouver playing wayyyy more physical than I expected them to, gives me a little glimmer of hope for the sabres to one day wake up and play that way. 

I have FLA vs EDM in my bracket for the finals, not sure that's gonna be what happens. NYR vs DAL seems like it would be a great final based on how those 2 teams look. Really don't like either team very much, but I think it would be good hockey and I would be pretty unbiased watching that series.

I know most of you guys hate Marchand, but maybe you can respect this:
