GDT: Oilers vs Panthers - Game 7 - Stanley Cup

[Steddy33]

Skinner when he goes somewhere after the buyout.

This will never happen

 

[Chainshot]

New NHL tradition: don’t reference the Buffalo Bills.

Bills Mafia out there putting the hex on the Oilers, clearly.

 

[Chainshot]

This will never happen

It would be the funniest.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Probably as close I will get (Before taking the old dirt nap.....)to seeing a Sabre's fed team win the Cup.

Oh yeah, not a single person alive even just born into Sabres fandom is ever seeing a Sabres team win a cup.

I'm pretty much resigned to it already.

 

[Havok89]

ROR wins the Conn Smythe, Eichel probably should have won the Conn Smythe, now Reinart scores the game 7 GWG. What's next, Ristolainen's march to the cup?

You better believe Rasmus Dahlin is next.

 

[Zman5778]

Pretty sure Zito just bit right through his tounge when saying the draft is in 3 days.

 

[GellMann]

I firmly believe the only difference between us and the Edmonton Oilers is that they got lucky in 2015 and we didn't. They have garbage ownership and have done a garbage job building around McDavid and Draisaitl, and got to the finals despite themselves, only because those guys are who they are. I am glad they did not win, and I'm happy for Florida, an elite franchise who worked their asses off building an insanely good team the right way.

Well, Florida has a player who's name is basically an anagram of Ristolainen. This might be as close as he gets.

Although, as a right-shot defenseman, Risto can have a long career if he wants it, corsis be damned. Jack Johnson's got a cup.

If we're being real about it, the most likely outcome for Risto getting a Cup is that it actually happens against the Sabres. Just when we thought it was safe. Boom. Risto wins it in OT like Uwe Krupp in '96.

[Sabre the Win]

I feel like this is a back handed compliment, Tkachuk went out like Eichel, asking to be traded. Not sure he has many fans there.

 

[Kublakhan]

So glad..

 

[Fjordy]

I'm happy for the former Sabres and I think Bill Zito did a great job building the team.

Kevyn do it.

Amazing in an era of the salary cap and outrageous multi-year contracts.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Nice but embarrassing....... Sorta confirms that the Sabres are indeed the NHL's farm team.

And that this has been one ef'd up incompetent organization for quite a while....

Terry....? Uh..... Terry!..... Please answer your page......

 

[Jage]

I would of gave it to Barkov

I wouldnt and I'm finnish

 

[Sabre Dance]

We shipped out O’Reilly, Eichel, and Reinhart to teams close to winning a cup. It’s not surprising that adding them took those teams to a Cup championship.

Here they were building a winning culture, there they just had to fit in and play.

 

[Gabrielor]

When does the punishment for buffalo fans end for whatever we did?

 

[Beerz]

I wouldnt and I'm finnish

I'm not in the business of giving trophies to losers.

I think Florida got lucky they got to poach a heap of talent from another garbage ownership and badly built team.

Heavy amount of copium going on. There’s absolutely no reason why Buffalo couldn’t try to build a team that allowed any of them to fit in and play. Buffalo couldn’t and they are showing they can’t.

Let’s call a spade a spade, the Blues, Knoghts, Panthers knew what to do with the players, Buffalo didn’t. That’s on coaching and management. They showed themselves capable of playing playoff caliber hockey. There’s no need to try and your convince yourself in diluting those players’ impacts on their teams just to make oneself feel better.

I think you are underestimating just how inept our management has been.

Edmonton managed not to chase all of their high draft picks and other talent out of town and watch them go on to win cup after cup with other teams.

The difference is ownership, management and coaching. Our players clearly haven't been the problem with the # of them that have gone on to win cups.

The top 4 scorers, the #1 goalie, and multiple depth players on the 2017-18 Sabres have gone on to win Cups elsewhere in the six seasons since then.

Much needed context that most people gratuitously wallowing in the Buffawoe™© seem to leave out.

Here they were immature party boys who wasted their and our time. Lessons most of us have to learn the hard way, but I hate that they did it on our dime only to find adult success elsewhere.

The beatings will continue until morale improves
