EDM sucked with 2 pretty damn good ones
- jdfitz77

They were not last place, and were 11 wins better than us.

And I don’t think anyone calls RNH a #1 (Draisaitl played wing this year)

Also, (frank) you, now that song is stuck in my head.

I remember when that movie came out and going with my mom to drop my sister and her friend off to see Young Guns, and then Kuffs a few years later.

Draisaitl split time between Center & wing
All 3 were at Center for a bit
& RNH player wing for the last part of the season w McDavid

And no, they weren’t LAST,
but still pretty damn bad

Why the specific designation on “last” though?

Point is... TWO players don’t make a TEAM
No matter how good they are

Can he be forgiven for roughing up his gf?

Bc a puck moving, good skating, RIGHT SHOT defenseman who’s 28 would seem to fit here nicely

I’m on the fence
What he did was awful
I can separate off ice stuff from the player though
If he were to be traded here,
I’d be willing to give him a chance

But i completely understand those who wouldn’t

What his dad says: “You are the man, ROR, go in that dressing room and let them see who the boss is. I know my son is the champ!”

What everyone else thinks: “shut the duck up and play hockey.”

On the urgency to move O'reilly before his bonus was due:

"That was certainly a big part of it. If it went past midnight today, the asking price would've certainly been a lot different, you never want to say never but yeah it played a big role in making sure the deal was done today."



so much for money never being an issue with the sabres mr pegula

There's money and then there's money. $7.5M is a lot of cake to eat all at once for a guy not to play for you.
