No bias at all from the New York Saints fan

you shouldn't worry so much...the odds of the bolts winning are pretty high, but i do understand the need to start lining up the excuses...just in case

Maroon couldn't catch him..even on the dot.

Honestly, I don't subscribe to premeditated intent to injure scenarios, so I reject even my post saying to do so. I would however target him every chance I get for some open ice hits and crunching blows along the board...clean, legal punishing hits.

Problem is, nobody can catch Barzall lol.

Eventually he’ll zig when he should’ve zagged.

says who?...you don't think other teams clog up the neutral zone?...tb is exceptional at it

I don’t have a problem with Trotz’ system.

I have a problem with the way their games are officiated and how they always seek to come out on the right end of calls.

Tampa had to beat the Isles and the Refs last night down to 10 forwards for the most part.

probably...but the lanche can't make it past the second round...

and people shouldn't dismiss any of these four teams for getting to the conference finals...just because the habs and isles don't fit an ideal, doesn't mean they're not playing great hockey

All credit to them for making it, but like Mannfred Mann said, it "aint my cup of meat"

I would keep Theodore and Tuch if we acquired them. They are still young. I would only want to be bad again next year. I think we would have the horses to be a fringe playoff team that could make noise in 2023 if our 2022 pick hits

I'm with you as you don't trade for those 2 players without having them as part of your core moving forward.

c'mon...tampa has had their share of calls too and i'd bet if you polled isles fans they'd say the same while pointing out many instances...

as for kuch, how many times have we seen cross-checks in that unprotected area?...also, as someone pointed out, he was cross-checked on the right but favoring his left side when he left the ice...

let's wait and see what the diagnosis is (other than upper body, of course)

His value is Skyrocketing due to him playing center teams are seeing him as a center some winger or a Dual threat .

Turcotte, kaliyev and their 2nd for him and Risto. I would do that. Replaces him in lineup and gets a young center we will need when jack leaves. We use the second to take a RHD for our prospect pool

oh my...kinda surprising, but not too surprising...skunk played his best hockey after rlph was dumped...that stretch made this admitted skunk-cynic believe that he'd finally reached a level worthy of all the pre-draft scouting reports

The interesting part teams like that he's a RFA so they have the ability to decide on his number

Could be one of those deals where he signs in 3 days like ROR did with us

You mean you don’t like cheap shots and watching super skilled Cal Clutterbuck and Matt Martin try and run guys 4 seconds after the puck is gone?

Why is this surprising?

Reinhart may be one of the most underrated Sabres players I have ever seen.

Guy consistently puts up 60 points seasons on awful teams and goes about his business and takes a beating.

Oh he is also good at driving play with whomever he plays with.

Cant wait for the day this team is needing a guy like Reinhart in 3 years.
