[Three On Zero]

I would like somebody to explain to me why somebody who seriously thinks that the reffing is fixed would continue to follow that sport?

I know not just a few folks whose team in whatever sport never ever loses, but is always robbed by the crooked refs. Yet, they wouldn't even think about missing a second of watching that sport the next game. There's no shortage of posters here who have this same mentality and any game where there team is behind or loses they start whining that it is all fixed. So strange.

Even stranger when the reffing really isn’t that bad

Tampa is one of best franchises in the league. When they don't want to sign a guy like Stamkos buyer beware

I bet they bring him back at half his cap hit currently. 8m per was buyer beware for everyone.

 

[jackjohnson]

Go NJ, make it 6-0

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Cant blame the coach when there is no cohesion and lots of change and turnover. Stamkos and Marchy have not been good at all

I think Bruno is lost.

 

[Czechboy]

I'm starting think we aren't winning tonight

 

[Three On Zero]

Paging Draisaitl, I repeat, paging Draisaitl

Didnt work out when they traded Miller

I don't know, they got 2 cups after he left, so...

Didnt work out when they traded Miller

They went on to win 2 Stanley Cups, I'd say it worked out just fine.

My Draisaitl voodoo no worky tonight

They went on to win 2 Stanley Cups, I'd say it worked out just fine.

Miller was also a cap casualty, it’s not like they down right wanted to trade him. They needed to

Stanley cup finals say you are wrong.

Marchy played on basically the same line for seven years, but then folks cannot figure out why he is not performing at the same pace when suddenly he has new teammates. Hmmmm. Imagine that.

Back to back, without McDavid, playing Pickard. Honestly it was probably an uphill battle even with Connor against a good Devils team. Not even mad with a loss tonight.

Probably...But what I like they didn't get sentimental and pay him for past performance

Miller was quickly forgotten when the hardware started rolling in.

Stanley cups say you are wrong

They were a deep team but they traded Miller due to cap instead of someone else. Miller is now a 1st line center and a great leader for Canucks. He is also rumoured to be named for team USA. So i dont see how them winning the cup is relevant when it comes to trading Miller for peanuts. This was regarding buyer beware if Tampa doesnt want a player. Miller proves that theory wrong.

 

[Breakers]

Recorded the preds game and watching it now

Stamkos just doesn’t have it anymore for what he gets paid

Two VERY different situations.

Sure but am replying to the poster that said buyer beware if Tampa doesnt want a player or gets rid of them. And its not just Miller, Verheage is another one.

Most teams will happily lose a trade if it means a Cup or two.

I miss Paul Cotter. Good to see him having continued success with the Devils.

Empty net is giving the Oilers their best goaltending of the night.

Just break the shutout Oilers.

It's a chasm between the Stamkos situation and Miller
They chose cup runs over keeping a developing players. Good franchises do this.


They chose not to sign the face of their franchise knowing he was not the same player anymore. They are a smart well run franchise. And if they are moving on from a guy like Stamkos buyer beware. Cuz he wanted to stay.

I think people have reading comprehension problems. I never said anything bad regarding Tampa not signing or keeping those players. I was responding to the poster who said "buyers beware" if Tampa doesnt sign their player or trades them. How is that relevant to Tampa being successful? Tampa can have success while the other team can also get a great player for cheap which proves the buyer beware theory wrong. Preds overpaying Stamkos and Stamkos underperforming doesnt make that theory a rule.

Time for this year's coaching change

Most teams will happily lose a trade if it means a Cup or two.

All day every day!!
