Agreed. Want teams to stop playing for a loser point? Stop offering it. But no parity is everything for the league, and as long as they can fool fanbases into thinking their teams are still in it they'll make a lot of $$. All it will cost them is some exciting hockey.

3-2-1 point system. Fixed

I'm ashamed to say i didn't pay attention to the game... my ESPN app said Moulson scored so i thought it was broken.

Someone wearing a #26 Sabres jersey was in fact credited with a goal. I don't believe it was scientifically confirmed as Matt Moulson underneath the pads. To be honest, I have my doubts...

89 you need to let it go.
No one I heard ever said Stamkos sucks, stinks or whatever.
The issue was the impact the $11m would have on the roster, especially in the out years 5,6,7.
I happen to be one who raised the issue, never stating he sucks. I did mention his production I'd down however (facts have no place here)...especially when some professed he would get to 50 on the Sabres.
So please, let it go. Go get us more rumors!

I don't need to let it go, people that think we don't need him or his contract will hurt us need to let it go. Every year they say the Hawks are screwed and every year they come away winning yet again, when you have a chance to get an elite player in Stamkos you go and get him no questions asked.

perhaps a doppelganger from a different dimension?

SO in a "down" year Scores 40 goals. Sounds awful to have.

that is a lot of goals . Can't imagine a Sabres player doing that. It's been a while . I don't know how or if I could handle that emotionally .

Right? Scoring 40 goals in 2016 isn't easy. How many guys will hit that this year?

In addition to the 40 goals, you also create matchup nightmares and change the perception of choosing Buffalo in free agency. I will be stoked if we land him.

As of right now... only Ovechkin because stamkos is at 36


Apologies you said WILL... Stamkos might Kane and Benn prolly will

But we don't need a player like Stamkos

Hard to believe the Oilers are in last place, what an embarrassment.

I'm rooting for them to win the lottery. I would franking love it.

I want to watch Gary walk up to the podium with a look of disgust on his face as he announces Edmonton wins. And then subsequently the hockey world melts down.

I honestly believe that if they did win another top pick... the collective oh poop look that will drop out of Bettman's face MIGHT almost be worth it... We've kinda all accepted that our chances of top pick are slim to none, let some other teams get pissed and they'll do something about it

I don't think it will matter, the Oilers won't care. Bettman is a joke

In our house no less, that's what pisses me off the most. We lost 2 times I know we have Eichel but we should have got McDavid.

The sport could really flourish with better leadership. He's been in that role too long. We need fresh thinking.

I think all the big four should have term limits for commissioners... the NFL is thinking about voting to limit Goodell's power on things... why not just move for a new commish

I'm shocked that they haven't pushed Goodell of a cliff by now.
