That's a creepy photoshop, or as Gerbe would say "filter".

There is NOTHING I want to re-live more than the days when both the Sabres and Leafs are actually good at the same time .....

So yes .. you can win the next two

Honestly, even though I'm obligated to hate the Sabres (being a Leafs fan), looking at the current standings, Buffalo is one of the teams I'd rather win the lottery.

It's funny that a lot of Canadian hockey fans seem to hate the other Canadian teams most of all.

I really don't want Ottawa, Montreal, or Edmonton to win. Vancouver...meh, I guess they are far enough away I don't hate them too much. And considering how (frank)ed up Arizona is, I really don't want them to get Dahlin either. (frank) Bettman and his little pet project.

You guys have suffered enough recently, kinda like T.O. You can say the same about the Oilers, but with Chia at the helm they're beyond saving imo.

Was i an expert? Not even close

Did I have a vast sports knowledge about players that played in all the leagues (4 major sports) past and present? Yep. Collecting sports cards back in the 80's and 90's influenced me to learn about the players that came before. Loved reading record books or price guides and seeing who was in the old sets.

That’s cool...
but i still don’t think it matters if Gerbe knows who Mamula was or not

I bet off the top of your head u couldn’t tell us who was the biggest bust on 1973 or whatever
Get my point?
Kid wasn’t even born yet

That'd be up to the team.

Off hand is there any recapture penalty associated with his deal?
- dadeadhead

im not sure tbh

No your point is lost in the joke that flew right over your head initially.

Right.

He’s setting the record for Face off wins, and we score the least amount of goals in the league.

What value is that? None
- sbroads24

Just bc there’s not a direct correlation doesn’t mean there’s no value

McDavid is scoring points,
but Edmonton is still losing
Thus, his points don’t matter

That’s EXACTLY what you’re doing with ROR & his faceoff wins

It’s not A —> B

It’s more like A —> Z, with all those letter in between as contributing factors

This isn’t remotely the same thing.

Goals = wins
Faceoffs do not = goals

One is measurable
The other is not

It's 15.

11 is signing bonus which was spread out.

Also wouldn't doubt that his contract is one of the 4 each team is allowed to insure.

Thus meaning he'd get most if not all of his money if he Savard retired.

He would be walking away from $15M.
Id rather enjoy my life than be a vegetable with deeper pockets imo.

No proof that he will “end up a vegetable”
Supposedly,
He’s already feeling pretty good

Maybe he shouldn’t risk it anymore?
It’s also gonna be hard for him to walk away if he’s feeling good & gets a clean bill of health

I’m just looking at it from both sides

Agreed but it's gotta be something in the back of his mind.

Like fvck! Again?

McDavid’s goals aren’t trailing in wins...
so they don’t matter

Yeah, that’s another good point

For sure
I’m just thinking it’s not as automatic as some on here are making it seem

Yeah ok Posluszny was never on steroids

The other night a few friends of mine put me to the test.

Starting from the 2014 NHL draft

They'd give me the team and I had to name the draft picks in order as far as I could go and was allowed one wrong answer.

We made it all the was to 1993.

It made my head hurt.

UB looking pretty good!

ALL the picks from the 1st round?
That’s impressive
