None of these guys won Cups in Buffalo...they all stink...

Come on Pach, you know facts have no place here!
- HonkFortheGoose

Right!!! facts.....

Eichel performed far worse than other guys that have ZERO cups in Buffalo and a history of unfulfilled promise

Malkin....MVPs....Cups.....Conn Smythe (the epitome of helping your team win).....scoring championships....

Eichel....none of the above.....and a rookie year that was so GREAT....he wasn't even NOMINATED for the Calder....

Yes

A few years back prior to the tank I went to a game at NU. The were playing Air Force and NU was giving away tickets. We loaded a whole bus of veterans at our VFW Post in Tonawanda and proceeded to the game. At some point in that game I made a comment to the person sitting next to me that a defensive player was not pressuring the winger in the corner after zone entries and this was allowing Airforce to retain possession of the puck after sloppy dump and chase zone entries.

The kid sitting on the other side of my friend immediately looked at me and said "You do not know anything about hockey". As I am only a fan, and there is a lot I do not know, I did not immediately smash a beer can over his head. However, I did ask him why? He then responded to me that he reads Hockey Buzz everyday.

As you can imagine everyone within ear shot laughed hysterically at this a** hat.

I believe based on everything that I hold dear that this person is Ripped Fuel.

Yes

If Jack wasn't injured and Sam had his linemate back. I see it too. I think we would be higher in the standings too. Jack would be in the convo of scoring leaders so far imo

There is a good chance I was lining that game. If its when I think it was, Air Force was one of the best teams in the Atlantic League and the thing that separated them that year was their speed. Burkie at NU kept pulling his wingers off of the defensemen because he wanted them being more defensive, it was a pretty boring game...

Already WAY behind Le Magnifique's pace...
