Buffalo is also able to make massive trades without getting robbed and actually ending up the winner (see Jeff Skinner). Sabres have been the worst team in the NHL for the last 2,3,5,6,7,and 8 years they're just as inept at building a team as Edmonton is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be considered a significant step forward, by any metric. Glad you & Marchand posted that trolling network-prediction. I was trying to remember who posted that(reflecting a few wks back in March). Wish the employment of some of them *ssholes depended upon the integrity of their forecasting. It was SOOOO EZ to throw stones at us(uncertainty with youth & no Sedins), as the season was getting underway..horrendous preseason, & all that...

EP40 and Hughes made the season exciting. Kaapo Kakko at the draft and it'll be a great summer. Kaapo Kakko at the draft and it'll be a great next 12 years....

Perfect linemate f9r Horvat. They need Baertchi to stay healthy next season (unlikely) or get them a winger with skill who can pass the puck. Pearson gets 30+ goals next season. Why the typ9's mister? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They built a contender and were never gifted top draft picks. They worked hard to get where they are now. Go Flames go Jets that is all. Not a Flames fan, but this I can relate to... After all the discussions about how to build a contender, the flames team breaks the mould, and shows it is possible to build a team with out winning the lottery,,, Reminds me somewhat of our situation....

spook007 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 4 hours ago, *Buzzsaw* said: Good competitive game from the team. Would have been nice to see them win, but taking it to OT was good. (points didn't matter, their draft position was already settled) Demko had an overall good game, some really good saves, although he was very lucky on occasions, and did let in one bad goal. (Tarasenko) As I have said before, he is not as technically sound as Marky, but that is something you can learn... you can't teach reaction, competitiveness and fire in the belly. Which he has. By the way, I don't think Marky and Demko like each other... there is not the same friendly interactions I saw with Marky and Nilsson and Marky and Miller. But hey, competition is good. Nice to see Petey get off the schneid... he needed to get that goal so he won't be thinking too much at the start of next year. Lets hope that Tanner Pearson picks up his play next year on the same level as he ended this season... cause he is RED HOT. He definitely seems to have found a place with Bo on the #2 Checking Line. If Baertschi can come back and play with them, the Canucks will have a dual threat with their top two lines. Good game by Quinn Hughes... although what I find frustrating is that with Green's coaching system the other players are not taking advantage of his up ice rushes... several times he gained the zone and was ready to dish off to an uncovered Canuck... except there was no one there... they weren't anticipating what he could do. Although Edler did take two penalties and ended up -1... he made a lot of good plays in the D Zone and was physical... I love it when big guys like Maroon or Tarasenko, who outweigh Eddie by 10-15 lbs get tossed around by our deceptively strong Swede. And that Tarasenko line is a really good one... O'Reilly is a star although he doesn't get as much attention as he deserves. Also liked Rafferty's game. In my opinion he was not that impressive in his first start, but he improved this game. On to next season! Trending UP Sorry, but how do you get to this conclusion Buzz? I think Marky has always look very happy for Demko, when he's done well...

spook007 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Thats it folks, curtains.... But what a change in outlook from same time last year.... I was really concerned that Bo's talent could end up being wasted in Vancouver, as the future at this time last season seemed fairly far away...But man have they young guns changed that View point. EP exploding on to the scene with the best rookie record ever in Vancouver. Quinn showing he is ready, Marky turning in to a solid no.1 and Demko showing up big... Boeser improving Pearson....wow what a trade he's been for Guddy. He brought all the tools used in LA with him to Vancouver... Roussel... lifting the Burrows/Dorsett mantra Edler rolling back the years, Stecher coming of age And talk about veteran mentoring... a special mention to one of the biggest surprises, which has been Luke Schenn... Damn has he been a welcome addition to this team. Enjoy summer folks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleThorn Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 9 hours ago, Hutton Wink said: Sabres are hot garbage, all that young talent but tanking shamelessly again this year. Rebuilding for how many years? Changed management, changed coaches, picked #1, #2 twice, #8 three times, all in the last 6 years and yet still behind us. Like Edmonton, there's something wrong there. Buffalo have been on managerial tanks several times recently. Three by my count. It's deliberate and should be stomped on by the league. Oilers are just inept, but I feel their poor record is sadly just the best they can do. Bettman has to take Buffalo to task ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleThorn Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 4 hours ago, *Buzzsaw* said: Getting the extra point tonight made no difference to the Canucks draft position. In fact, winning would have made no difference. It was all settled by Anaheim not getting any points. Yes it did ! If the 'nucks had lost, they would have been tied with Ducks for points plus the first tie breaker 'wins'. The 2nd tie breaker 'ROW' had Ducks with the higher number, pushing us to pick #8 pre lotto ! One point or a win meant #9 allocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a general comment..but when a GM is nonchalant about cap space(plenty to spare) the offers likely will start getting sweeter. It's usually the counterpart who HAS to sweeten the pot. Prob another reason JB spent some extra picks, early-on. We were the ones then who had too little cap, & an excess of NTC's, unappealing vets, etc...

Torres was looking to put him on a stretcher. I'm all for playing hard and physical hockey but Torres had no interest in hockey there. From the angle I don’t see direct hit to the head. He may have hit the head but he went through the chest to get there the way I see it. You will also notice that Torres isn’t taking skating strides leading to the hit - he is gliding. If anything the hit could have been far worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Vey just scored off his thigh pad for CSKA playoffs to tie the game but was called back. High sticking penalty called back with video review, the stick that hit his face was a team mates stick.. They pulled the SKA player out of the penalty box on review.

And um Tkachuk was 6th and rumoured to go as high as third. Joking aside, they had some good picks. Even baertschit was sort of high at 13 I believe. Flames are nothing special. They got plenty of good picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
