Cups make Famers.

On another note. Marners wedding was 20 minutes north of me. My buddy works electrical, worked the wedding (Sat in the parking lot, Made sure a breaker didn't blow).

Mathews +1 was a 20/10, Willy Nyls smokes like a chimney

Was Mitch the bride or groom?

Not sure how you can say so.

1 lead his team to victory in the playoffs. 1 is still figuring out how to win a round.

Mathews, Marner, the rest of em are regular season players.

7 years straight. 6 first round exits. Under a ppg in the playoffs. Lead in how many series? Not a leader, not a fighter(not in the literal term) guys a prima-donna

- DirtyDan


As is pointed out here often, but always overlooked, it's a team sport. Matthews is a better player on a worse team. Vegas made the SCF without Jack already...if anything Jack just helped them get over the hump.

And Jack didn't lead them, he was simply part of it. No letter. No Conn Smythe. Just a championship the ownership bought through expansion and cap circumvention.

Yeah I saw it was at Peller Estates. My fiancé knew a few people in the wedding as well (from Mitch’s time in London).

Looked really nice in the pictures.

Leafs have been more stacked for the last 7 years than Vegas has over the same time.

They've had the goalies, they've always had the forwards, they've mixed the D up. Nothing works when your top players cant show up when the games mean the most. 26 shots against Florida, 0 goals.

March or Eichel could have won that Conn Smyth, they gave it to the guy with the goals. Not the guy who set him up for tap-ins. It is what it is.

I'd of taken Eichel before the neck, and after his dominant playoffs ill take him now as well.

Wow, a lot of butt hurt in the above, but especially the bolded.

I'd sign up for the Sabres to win a cup in the way you attempted to outline tomorrow, if it were possible.

Isn't this basically true of almost every non original six franchise that has won?

if you're not an original six team decent chance you're an expansion team. And almost every successful team in the cap era either won by finding ways to bend the upper limit, or by using other cap bending techniques to stave off talent attrition and extend their window so that they could win later.

After a season like the Sabres had last, where would you put your excitement for the upcoming season on a scale of 1-10, has the offseason affected that number?

To me, the payers shined and exposed managements weaknesses last season, and the minimal effort put in this offseason by Adams and co. has me at a 4 for next season as I have no clue how it will play out and don't trust them to dig themselves out of a hole if they find themselves in one.
