I mean it does feel good that the Islanders fans feel worse than us
We weren't good, it's just hard to find this level of goaltending in the nHLF this group. Where was all this when you needed it? Shit birds.
Then you watch a literal kid like celebrini and you wish laffy was half the player he is.Remember that day 5 years ago in January, Opening night. We were all so excited, we thought we were going to see Laffy burying those 2 on 1 regularly.
Brandon Prust and Brian Boyle. I had to look it up on Twitter. My internet died too.My internet died...what was the trivia answer?
Exactly what I guessed.Brandon Prust and Brian Boyle
Oh I was talking about the excitement of the season starting with a "stacked" team on paper with our fresh #2 and our #1OA about to make his debut. We thought we were going to witness a franchise player play his first game for us.Definitely wasn't opening day. Took Laffy about 10 games to finally pot one. Was an OT winner in Buffalo, I believe.
I think it's our development is what is lacking.Then you watch a literal kid like celebrini and you wish laffy was half the player he is.
Watching celebrini is just pure depression bc the sharks absolutely nailed it on their 1oa pick and nyr ended up with laffy. It wasn't nyr's fault they picked him since he was the consensus pick, but there are literally 3 players picked in the 4 picks after laffy that I would easily prefer over laffy. That is just sickening. No one's fault except laffy as far as I'm concerned.
He's really delivered & then some.Oh I was talking about the excitement of the season starting with a "stacked" team on paper with our fresh #2 and our #1OA about to make his debut. We thought we were going to witness a franchise player play his first game for us.
Yes I routinely am jealous of all the other #1s before and since Laffy. Even Slafkovsky and Power at times when I watch them skate.Then you watch a literal kid like celebrini and you wish laffy was half the player he is.

Agree, you can't miss on this many " can't miss" players without there being a development issueI think it's our development is what is lacking.
Kakko too!Agree, you can't miss on this many " can't miss" players without there being a development issue
Such a cop out. It's been 5 years and he just got 50 million dollarsI think it's our development is what is lacking.
It’s not, though.Such a cop out. It's been 5 years and he just got 50 million dollars
Realized that they probably dont feel worse - because our season was faaaar more devastating. Oh well.I mean it does feel good that the Islanders fans feel worse than us
