A healthy lee puts you guys over the top. He's one of my favorite players, a tank around the net.

That really sucks, either way I still think you guys have a strong chance at winning the cup.

Lee is a beast and having him instead of Leo Komarov on our first line would obviously be huge. Long way to go but like you said it’s great to have a chance. If we can play our game I like our chances but an elite team like Tampa can prevent that from happening. They can do it all.

Tampa can beat us tonight (which I think they may) and win the series and I would be happy with the ride. Nothing better then watching playoff hockey. Must be a real sad existence for you waiting for that ring and not challenging for it.

Everything you're saying in your posts is pretty much accurate. But you don't have to be a Richard about it. We know we suck. We don't need fans from other teams coming in here rubbing it in.

That wasn’t a stab at your team or even the fans nor was it boasting in any way. That was a shot at Pegullaville who said there’s no point in making the playoffs unless you win the cup. Like if you guys made the ECF next year it would be a waste of time. I disagree. If I were a Sabre fan I’d be ecstatic. I think most would agree considering getting to the cup usually takes years of playoff success. That is all.

Probably because it was one of the worst things a person has ever put to film?

He didn't though?

Man. I know Buffalo has had a bad run for going on... 100 years now, but the inferiority complex is getting really bad.

WE HAVE FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BUILDINGS TOO!!!!

Okay guys. Jeez. Not everyone is taking a crap on Buffalo just because they don't preface everything with "I like Buffalo and I don't think it's the worst place ever.".

If it wasn't for the Bills and their 4 straight failures and one (frank)ing snowstorm(Syracuse gets 50% more snow than Buffalo does FFS) we'd be Cleveland. No one really talks about Cleveland. Is it better to be mocked or (mostly)ignored?

I'm pulling hard for Donnie. Wish he would add some experience on that bench, but whatever works.

Me to, be interesting if he brings them all back. And just because all these interviews were done for the HC job doesn't mean some of these guys that don't get a the job won't consider taking a asst. job if asked. Not that we would want that, but obviously they were good at something to get HC gigs before.

Interesting that he botched Laine's situation. They have to protect him.

Yeah, they have some decisions to make, but I guess a trade or 2 could take care of there situation in some regards.

Also everyone I talk to in the Midwest thinks Buffalo is like a 1 hour drive from NYC.

But because of the situation they may have to take a little hit on all those trades

Gotta love the New York Saints getting another call for their d-man pushing Point into their goalie.

All that’s left is for Vasy to let in a softie.

Just like Trotz drew it up

Not only that, they think the entire state of New York is a giant megalopolis.

I honest to god had someone say to me "Yeah, I drove through New York State once when I went to New York City, I couldn't believe it how rural it was!".

And I was like uh. Yeah. Just like literally the entire rest of the country, there are some dense cities and towns and then land-land.

And Buffalo itself is pretty much the gateway to the Midwest, especially for a lot of Canadians.

Crooked Broadary, only you would consider losing a starting goalie good luck.
