Players still in Buffalo after the trade deadline

So, being rational adults, we could just emphasize that. Pretty sure, based on the response, he thought you were saying the eventual call benefitted him.

Really?

Sorry the ref's obvious mistake worked out in MY favour? Explain how exactly. The Sabres goal was taken away and they ended up on the PK. How exactly is that in MY favour?

He is either implying that the correct call that eventually was made is THE mistake or is terrible at reading comprehension. But I guess white-knighting for no real reason is the "rational adult" MO.

 

[BB79]

And Cousins plays for the Sens

"Plays" is debatable. Then I agree, that bum doesn't belong in the league

I mean just given the context it was pretty clear what he was trying to say.

But not everyone was acting rational in that interaction

 

[Edgelord]

Straight up didn't know there were two.

the s at the end should have given it away, Nick used to go by Cousin till Cozen came to the NHL then they became Cozens and Cousins

Yes, really. Pretty sure that's how he read it. No reason for a stupid semantic argument. But, that might be me. I prefer these main board threads to be more a place for less silly arguing.

That Lindgren save wouldn't have happened if he'd been wearing his gloves on the proper hands.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

So..you agree, he doesn't belong in the NHL. I'd rather Cozens than him

Reaves had basically retired after Vegas did not re-sign him and was content to run his new bar in Vegas, and it only when Gallant thought the Rangers needed senior leadership that he was brought out of the dustbin. That was three years ago and he was fully cooked then.

He's dirty but I'll always love him for that goal to send the Leafs home 2 years ago. Sad that Gudas outshined him on that one.

I'm amazed that he's still here. What's his contract? Must be bad if they haven't bought him out yet

Can't agree. Don't want that dude on my team. Reaves at least is honorable will square up and answer

It's a million or two more than most of us make a year.

Yeah Tre did the same here. He wanted someone who was “loud” and good in the room so he signed him for too much and too long even though it was clear to anyone that has seen him play he was done.

Like if we wanted someone who was a shadow of their former self, can’t skate but can still punch faces we should have just resigned Simmonds. At least we wouldn’t have had to give him term. And he might actually fight once in a while.

Players still in Buffalo after the trade deadline

That looks a bit like the kid who's always flexing on the Cat's jumbotron. Same peckerwood haircut. To be fair, I have a peckerwood haircut.

 

[cyris]

He hasn’t actually fought anyone in almost a year

 

[BB79]

Not that I like Toronto but I think they could be doing a lot better with his roster spot. Guy is useless at this point in his career so hopefully they keep him

 

[HockeyVirus]

That's because he hasn't done anything to have to answer to in a long time aside from his suspension. Laid 1 big hit all season and lost 5 games

Not disagreeing, but proud the kid still is prepping for retirement. In one year of work, he brings in more than most of us do in 20. Despite Toronto taxes.

Him getting suspended was a net benefit to us.

Here I thought we were playing prison rules now the refs are calling stuff in the Blues Cats game.

Whatever it takes for you guys to lose. Need to solely hold #1 in the Atlantic again

So the Panthers are shut out by Canucks and Flames, then score six against Edmonton and Wild each, and then struggle to score more than 1 goal at home against tired Blues. Interesting team that one.

It's an 82 game season. The Cats have scored 6 goals in about a third of their games this season. But this is the regular season. In sum, goalies can have good and bad games. And that's not counting the shots the Blues have blocked. They're playing well.

When you're the defending Cup champs, everybody brings their "A" game against you when you're on the road (and too often at home). It's a big deal for their fans and so the players give it their best.

For the defending Cup champs, not so much. It's a struggle to play at such a high level on a long road trip and basically you end up getting up for some games and sleepwalking through some others.

Know this all too well from how Vegas went through last season as the defending Cup champs. Some nights you play like Tarzan, and some nights you play like Jane.

Laine with another total cheat code.
