Around the NHL: Part V – Nice Try, Sabres (or, Playoffs?!)

[trilobyte]

We all loved McDonagh but I don't see how you can argue with trading him. He would be 31/32 when the Rangers are really ready to competer. With all those miles and injuries no thank you. Plus you would have no Hajek, Nils or Howden plus

That was a good trade. I did, and still do, appreciate the smarts by Gorton in making that trade.

The more I see our ex players come up short in the playoffs for their new teams the happier I get that we cleaned out the lockeroom.

Imagine how Sabres fans feel seeing ROR and Lehner both having MVP seasons for their teams and leading them to the playoffs

 

[Fitzy]

Good grief.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Sergachev with an untouchable in any trade like penalty there.

 

[RangerBoy]

TB needs to wake up. WTF is going on.

Wow 2-0 Columbus now. Didn’t Columbus win the first 2 games against Washington last year too?

 

[JT Kreider]

I know we are supposed to be pulling for Tampa so we can get their 1st round pick, but it would be pretty satisfying to see one of the biggest chokes in NHL history

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

lmao this is awesome

f*** 31 hope they get swept

I have a very difficult time rooting for Tampa. 2015 left a bad taste in my mouth.

CBJ gonna do exactly what they did last year and go up 2-0 in the series and then collapse epicly.

 

[Harbour Dog]

If Winnipeg doesn't make the WCF, and Columbus somehow makes the ECF, then our Jets pick will be one slot higher for it.... so, that's enough reason for me to turn on Tampa. It was kind of hard to cheer for them anyway.

 

[nyrage]

It's bad karma rooting for this team. I hate a lot of their arrogant fans. Even if we don't get their first round pick, I will enjoy them losing.

TB looks like an AV team again.

They don’t have it

They may, but this team is not Washington.

 

[Black Aces]

CBJ gonna do exactly what they did last year and go up 2-0 in the series and then collapse epicly.

I think that is extremely possible.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

damn point held his own despite being like 5 inches shorter

 

[bl02]

Man Point sacrificing to wake up his team

 

[Black Aces]

TB looks like an AV team again.

They don’t have it

How/If they respond will show us what kind of leadership they have.

 

[Fitzy]

I think that is extremely possible.

Would be the last straw for Torts' heart.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Tampa does not want to play this type of game with CBJ.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

TB looks like an AV team again.

They don’t have it

Cooper is AV

Does Pierre ever take a breather?

 

[trilobyte]

What the heck?
The Lightning have to reinvigorate themselves with a fight?
Funny
