If you don’t win a championship…… you aren’t an all time great player.

Congrats on being the regular season championship.

It also helps that the panthers have an all star team in front of him. They are by far the best top 9 team in the league. Their 4th line sucks but they barely play.

Other goalies like Tampa have had this same luxury.

Insert any bruins goalie into that system and they are elite.

Put any of those goalies on the Sabres, and they play takes a dump

See Ullmark from the Sabres to the bruins jump in stats. Same goalie different system / roster in front of him

Why we a ting like Bobrovsky hasn’t always been awesome?

So Dan Marino isn't an all time great?
If Hasek didn't go to Detroit...he wasn't an all time great?
How about Marcel Dionne?
Randy Moss?
Charles Barkley?

I mean the list goes on and on...

I don't know, how many years did it take these guys to win in a different environment?

Not long. So what is it about our enviornment that precludes us from getting positive results? Was it the coaching not the roster? Was it the captains? The lack of fans? What's the missing ingredient in your eyes? It seems the players weren't as awful as we thought based on these results...

Kevyn is a win away from recouping his 5th round pick he lost in the Greenway trade. Congratulations Kevyn, you can sleep soundly.

So it's all coaching/brass? If that's the case, I'd argue the players aren't very resilient if they're being held down by people who never touch the ice.

Personally, I think you're right, the coaching is a big missing piece...that being said it further cements my thoughts that guys like Eichel, RoR and Okposo weren't the leaders people think they are.

Well said and agreed they were/are not leaders.

Terrible ownership creates apathetic players.

In the end, it's a work atmosphere despite it being a sport.

How long can you be resilient before you can't fight anymore against inept and meddling management?

Buffalo in general has a toxic work culture. Sports don’t seem to be able to escape that, despite the prestige.

I really hope the latter doesn't hold true. Lindy isn't a guy to take poop from an owner without a fight, hopefully he can exhort some sort of resilience amongst these kids. If you are right, we're going to watch the team keep failing and eventually move.

Unfortunately, I'm the wrong person to ask as I'm just not in that type of situation. I've always worked for poopty companies and owners, until now, but I battled through and made my bones for the bad ones. It's what got me to where I am.

Sadly, I'm sure making that type of money as a kid changes perspective drastically and I'll never understand what that's like. I'd imagine their fuse is much shorter.

Bills have certainly come close recently. It gives me hope that the curse is just that, and not some sort of issue with the city.

Barkov and layers of defenders behind him. And then there’s Bob
- Ratsreign


The defense isn't out of this world(the goalie yeah), how many times does McDavid have the puck in the slot area/high cirlce and he franking passses off trying for a back door tap in. Shoot the damn thing.

Just last night he did like 3-4 times in the last 5-10 minutes when they almost tied it.
