That's obviously overstating things...

But when ppl on here were saying they were happy Matthews went to the Leafs, bc they were looking forward to the "rivalry"
I thought they were nuts

This is why
I'd much rather have him gone to Arizona or Vancouver or pretty much anywhere out west besides Edmonton

How is it overstating things?

Losing your all star player for who knows how long and watching the most over hyped team of all time luck into the next best player in the league then score four goals in his debut the same day your star goes down.. I'd say its fully stated...

nope, it is what it is, we need to move on and focus and the Sabres.

Good for you. Me it makes me sick

lol snow in Edmonton already.

Thhis is my 3rd time, stacked div last year and missed the playoffs, 1st time i finished top 16 in the playoffs and should have advanced until hedman forgot how to hockey for a week. Guy had tons of pts week before and after, I only lost by about 5 pts. Still would have won if kucherov didn't get the guy a 5min major and misconduct for 15 pts when he had had like 26 PIM the whole year. And that is why my location is (frank) Victor Hedman. Took stash and nf over a year to realize it said (frank).

The filter doesn't work on locations? Very interesting...

Life goes on who cares, we got hosed for McDavid but got Eichel and Reinhart. We have a good team just have some bad luck.

4 goals for Matthews now.
- SABRES 89

He can score 14 for all I care, to say he's better than Jack after 1 game is silly.

Bad luck so hard it's deflating. To have those A holes up north get the 1st overall pick after tanking then this tonight is the (frank)ing cherry on top

going to be along year with everyone already crying about Matthews.

Only like 58 for the high tomorrow. This weather is spoiling us.

Maybe he'll suffer an ankle injury in practice tomorrow.

I didn't say that what I did say was, Eichel will not score like McDavid and Matthews and what i mean by that is, not score as many goals. That's my opinion. We still have a great player in Eichel and i'm not the one that's standing ready to jump off the bridge because of Eichel getting hurt and the Leafs getting Matthews.

Seriously.

Yep.

So is Vegas burning or something? Do cacti burn? I keep seeing fire weather watches for Vegas.

Its a regular suck-fest in the lafs thread

We did that for a year with Eichel, stop being jealous

Any coach or GM who says they don't want 8 goal games is just trolling. This is immensely entertaining.

OK...as long as you understand the sample size.

I think you've forgotten about how many bad days we had inbetween Drury/Briere and finally drafting Eichel

Eichel got hurt, obviously sucks
Matthews doing so well is annoying, but hardly horrible for "Buffalo hockey"
He'd have been great wherever he went
We'll just hear more about it bc he's in Toronto
Doesn't really have anything to do with our team though

Apparently he'll score 4 a night from what I'm reading.

Don't know what that means but ok

- RhinoFan

Even on the nights he's not playing.......and especially during the Stanley Cup playoffs...even though the rest of the leafs won't be attending

Yep.

not that I know of but it's been 90 or so the last 2 days.

4 goals for Matthews now.
- SABRES 89

And zero for the rest of the team. Leafs fans won't pay attention to that though. They'll think Matthews will score four every game.
