Well damn! Most likely game 7 OT! Such a beautiful thing. Especially if Florida pulls it out.

Did Hall play for the Sabres?
He wore their gear… rumor has it that it never got damp.

3 if you include Ullmark.
Ralphus...
How many players have gone on to great success after leaving Ralphus? Montour, Skinner, Thompson, Dahlin, Mitts.
Maybe we shouldn't judge players when the coach is so shitty? But then again, how can a coach be this shitty? It's almost as if Ralphus deliberately sabotaged this team
The only reason he signed was because his old fave coach was here, IIRC.
Well, that and a steamer trunk full of Terry's money.
Ullmark, Eichel, McCabe, Hall, Miller, and Borgen are still all alive in the playoffs right now and have been good where they landed - certainly better than in Buffalo. Ralph was a dufus. Botterill was a bigger dufus for following up the Housley hire with Krueger.

Sucks, because I swear I had that feeling Montour could do more. His meh defense led to a meh role, but he always had the wheels to contribute on offense. Ralph’s shit system limited that. Ah well, he’s one of the ones I root for. Hope he banks the winner off Hall, that’d be ideal.

Man, the decision to start Swayman might end the Bruins season. He has let in 2 downright awful goals tonight.
I read that as "breaks the wiener off Hall".
And my first thought was, "Yes. That's just fine."

Ya, hoping for a bank off the face felt like a bit much so I left it vague- your misread works, and would be absolutely hilarious.

Also, not for nothing but the two teams playing tonight have put together defenses built through a high draft pick (Ekblad), three waiver claims (Forsling, Mahura, Fitz), an RFA cap dump (Montour), and two retread UFAs (Gudas, MStaal) while the other is a moderately high draft pick (McAvoy), some mid-round guys from their own system (Grzelyck, Carlo), a UDFA (Clifton), a depth UFA (Forbort), a rental (Orlov) and a big trade (Lindholm).
Only one guy out of all of those was part of a big deal - Lindholm - and the rest are judicious personnel decisions that aren't always the sexiest.
