The TV ratings for the Stanley Cup this year will be the same as they are every other year...

1. The team that is favored to win

2. Buffalo

3. The other team in the finals

Where would you want to play? I am all in on Eichel and am not even thinking about trading up for McDavid.

The Sabres won this year.

Not happy. huge bad day.
In the history of hockey who is the best American player.
If Eichel is that good.
McDavids comparables are off the charts better
- hafgod

But you can win a cup with either...and isn't that the point?

Why ? Screw the Leafs. At least McD is in the West.
- Pairo11

F Shanahan.... The Leafs have the most money, the most power, but suck every year. WHYYYYYY would anyone in Buffalo have wanted the Leafs to have won the Lottery?

Today is exactly why we had to finish last, We got the guy, time to start building now

We'll see how it all works out but Jack will be a great player for this team, just give it a couple more years...

Ridiculous you have won the lotto 4 times in 6 years but I am actually happy for you guys!!!!
I would much rather see him with you guys in the west then in Toronto or rotting in a desert!!!
Grats again!

It's crazy.

Not a lot of good days to be an oiler fan for a long time. But today sure is.

Thx

I watched a lot of the Oilers in the 2nd half of the season. They are going to score 5 goals a game with McDavid. Their D is young, but talented. They need an upgrade in net and they can compete for a spot.
- Pierceme69

Even with a mediocre D, If you score 6 goals a game, you probably will win more than lose. a solid upgrade at goalie makes that team playoff bound in 2 seasons, a D man that either comes via FA or a steal in the draft makes them dangerous

I wonder if losing the lottery kills our chances of getting Babcock

It's crazy.

Not a lot of good days to be an oiler fan for a long time. But today sure is

Hull
Modano
Roenik
Tkachuck
Mullen

Those are the forwards. All 500 goal scorers.

Yeah, I will take one of them

- Jerry1964

Yeah I do not get this at all.
Edmonton >>>>>>Toronto

- Sabresfan-365

I disagree. McDavid changes the face of the sabres.
Eichel is good but does not do that

I wonder if losing the lottery kills our chances of getting Babcock
- Pierceme69

If it hinged on that, I wouldn't want him coaching them anyways.

As a Sabre fan, you can't be angry they won. The NHL awards failure, and we made a direct effort to fail and reap the benefits.

It would be kind of hypocritical to be angry another bad team won

Hull
Modano
Roenik
Tkachuck
Mullen

Those are the forwards. All 500 goal scorers.

Yeah, I will take one of them
- rmiethaner

Stamkos Gretsky Lemeuix Crosby
I will take these

Funny that Calgary isn't on that list. Habs for their crazy success and Leafs for all the attention?
- stashu

The flames-oil rivalry hasn't been much for ages. Before this season, both teams been pretty irrelevant for awhile.

If the oilers can manage to turn it around, I'm sure my hate will be back..

Mostly habs because of a couple my buds. Diehard Frenchmen habs fans.
Not just them, but most of the fanbase. Incredibly irrational

Leafs just cause they're the leafs

I disagree. McDavid changes the face of the sabres.
Eichel is good but does not do that
- hafgod

Draft lotteries are stupid. Always have been.

How can you say that at this point?

Oh totally.

I'm actually enjoying the hate

Welcome to Buffalo Jack. Pull up a chair.

Bolded should apply to the Leafs too though, no?

Most of them have cups.

We're fine

If Eichel is as good as Modano. Hell thats (frank)ign amazing

I disagree. McDavid changes the face of the sabres.
Eichel is good but does not do that
- hafgod

I think eichel can definitely be that good.
If u mean from day 1, u might have a point.
But eichel is a phenomenal talent.

- Pierceme69

you know what someone says this every year and never happens they're always sucking ass hell would not shock me if they're in the top 3 again

How can you say that at this point?
- Jerry1964

Scouts. GMS. You never know.
When McDavid is compared to greats odds are he will be.
Not picking on Eichel but McDavid is just better
