I knew they looked familiar and uninspired.

I hate the Rags but cmon, clearly NYR has had that style longer than the PWHL smh

Kris Knoblauch is one game away from accomplishing in one week what he prodded at the Bills for doing.

Losing four in a row.

Everyone knows you don't make fun of the Buffalo Bills when the Stanley Cup is on the line.

Just wanted to note ESPN has a guy calling the SCF who was somehow unaware that a team who ices the puck can't call a time out.

McDonough is terrible, boring, disengaged, uninformed--take your pick of derogatory adjectives. Guy announces goals and big plays in the finals like it's a Sens/Blue Jackets matchup on a random Wednesday night in March. Too bad Wischusen is with TNT, IIRC, because he calls a way better game.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Florida is playing a lot like the Kings during their two Cups.

I’m not overly superstitious but it does feel like saying “Buffalo” while heading into a championship game or series is like saying “Macbeth” in a theater.

There are negative forces at play you should never invoke.

Unless it's an abridged version...

I’m talking about professional sports. Not semi-pro players making half of a low end desk job. The glorification of the Bandits is as big a part of our pro curse as anything else

Curse implies things beyond the control of individuals. Not being into that sort of mumbo jumbo is freeing.

Oh man, those Kings-Hawks series were some of the best series I can remember. So physical and skilled. Hockey at its best.

Of course, I'm from Rochester. Naturally a 'Hawks fan, so Im still waiting to see a Buffalo team I root for win a championship:*(

[oldgoalie]

What a cheap shot.
Only 2 minutes?

Never change, NHL. You assholes.

 

[Gras]

Lol only 2 minutes

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Should have been 5.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Will be a huge loss if Bennett can't return

 

[Beerz]

Another scummy Oiler play

Color me shocked

 

[Dingo44]

How is that not a major and a game?

 

[Gras]

How is that not a major and a game?

Panthers up 3-0

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Nurse being on the ice might be a worse punishment than him being out for the game?

 

[Dingo44]

Hey Nurse you have been our absolute worst player. Want to finally be useful? Take out Bennett.
