    Sabres lost a Cup with a series winning goal that was illegal at the time. As painful as our losses have been, that has to be worse.  Wish @SabreFan1 still posted here for his input.

    While I agree that was an illegal goal, it happened in game 6. Even if the goal was disallowed, the Sabres would have still had to win in OT to force a game 7. It's not like the Sabres had the cup in their hands at that point.

    I mean, the anti-Benning crowd was pretty quiet during the playoffs too.  That’s kind of how it goes.  
     

    If I’m ownership I don’t dare fire Benning until after the season.  This market just wants to make every win or loss a debate about his job security despite this being much more of an on ice issue than personnel one.  People were calling for a plateau or a slight regression, not this implosion.  Removing Benning shifts the focus back on to the players and that’s the last thing this locker room needs right now. 

    But if you wait until the offseason, you would be risking Benning making panic moves to save his own ass. See Chiarelli before getting canned in Edmonton.

    I think if Markstrom leaves Vancouver and signs somewhere else, it will be with another contender. He's waited a LONG time to make it to the playoffs, I can't see him going anywhere that doesn't give him a legitimate shot at getting back to them and a shot at the cup.

     

    I don't doubt that Marky wants to win and he probably won't get that in Detroit. But this is likely his last chance at a big contract, it would be hard to walk away from money and term when it's you're last shot to set yourself and your family up for life.

    This is what I don’t get

     

     Petey took beatings in the corners all night.  Foligno tried to Railroad EP through the boards at least once.

     

     Why don’t our guys do the same to their good players like Fiala.  Tit for tat.   Fiala should need an ice machine and a box car full of Advil after that game.  
     

    you don’t need to make your knuckles bleed on Folignos fat head.  Go after their good players 

    Canucks also need to give Suter, Dumba and Spurgeon a tougher time. I'd argue that their D are more important than Fiala.
