Just watching the highlights, after Gudas screamed in that young goalies face against the Leafs, after they had basically clinched the series, and seeing all his cheap shots through this playoffs… I am so glad we crushed his head in the ice. Their whole deserves that!

Its funny that Eichel vs McDavid was even a conversation. It may as well have been Leaf v Manning. McJesus is perhaps the most singularly talented player to ever put on skates. I am not declaring McDavid the greatest player, but I don't think anyone compares to his blend of speed, skill, vision, and agility. The stuff he pulls off is unreal.
I think 10th is generous for Eichel as it stands. There are many centers more productive than Eichel and his defensive game has never been anything noteworthy.
I was going to give this a thumbs up except for your last sentence… Eichel has been phenomenal on D for us! Like literally outstanding. That was a weird add in, unless you haven’t watched him this post season

Best part was the cheapest cheap shotter Gudas getting wrecked! Good night sweet prince!

All Florida has right now is cheap shots

Had his head down. He deserved to be blown up. My God I love Tkachuk!
And Eichel with the assist… I love that Ktachuk is out for another 8 minutes

Damn... jack got hammered there. Like to the casino next door hammered. Can't stand the mofo but I hope he is alright.
That’s true… almost as hammered as all the pocket books of anyone who bet against Vegas these 1st 2 games…

Because it doesn’t seem like you watched much sabers hockey if you thought we were perennially close to being in the playoffs for the last 10 years
If you’re just starting to get in the game of hockey great have fun
But the Sabres before this decade of impotence… Was a team that made the playoffs 28 out of 39 years
They know how to build hockey teams
We just went over a decade with no playoffs for an extremely proud and great franchise
But the Sabres before this decade of impotence… Was a team that made the playoffs 28 out of 39 years???
wasn’t this exactly what you said the Sabres didn’t do?! I’m confused now, which is easily done

We’re not perennial contenders that barely missed the playoffs
We’ve had top five or 10 draft picks for a decade
We’ve been out of the playoff race by January usually
Last year was our closest year to making the playoffs in probably a decade
It sounds like there are a lot of promising youngsters and added free agents on Buffalo… including a couple previous Knights. Maybe root for the knights and then repeat what we do! I’m a Sabres fan too, but Knights fan first. Just like I’m a Bills fan first and Raiders fan second

Hockey has more perennial losing franchises that any sport because it’s tough to write the losing in hockey
But it still happens every year, and with Buffalo being perennial contenders that barely miss the playoffs, it should have been a lot easier for them

You can’t trade for anybody When you don’t have any assets worth trading
And free agents don’t wanna play on a ***** team with high taxes
Vegas got Marc-André Fleury out of the get go
The Sabres would kill for a goalie of that quality… We’ve had nothing since Ryan Miller left
Ullmark was solid but he can’t do it alone…
Again The Sabres are bad because they were good for so long and traded away pieces to remain relevant… Once those guys were gone there was never a group to come back
And that starts the futility in hockey of you can’t develop and win at the same time
Vegas got 26 year old man who had NHL experience… Sprinkled in with some young guys
The Sabres have been playing 21 year olds and 22 year olds for a long time… With some washed up veterans and no goaltender sprinkled in
The Sabres don’t need an expansion draft to be good now because we’ve been drafting at the bottom for a decade.. 10 years to right the ship!
But if they got the chance to do an expansion draft tomorrow… Any competent hockey guy could build an extremely great team within the parameters
Literally after year 3 of the knights, we were flush with assets and the rest of the league.

Not your words, the previous guy. But as a bills fan for the last 30 years, I understand making excuses why other teams have success and we can’t

this is as informed a take on this subject that I've read. Interesting really thanks.
I googled Jack Eichel after reading of how much beef he has from Sabres fans. I learned his GF is from Buffalo . Yeah okay. Otherwise Eichel he is Old news as far as Im concerned. But I understand the chagrin. Plus I heard he is a total douche ma**hole. There is that.
🙂
Meh, that’s well worded ‘word salad’ for saying the Knights are why the Sabres can’t make a playoff. Which is bogus

Who are the bullies? The ones cheap shotting and taunting like bullies? Hells yeah they are, let’s send them a fist sandwich for their hard work!!! Go Knights!
What did the experts say Vegas would finish that year after we got all our players? Last? Second to last? And when the playoffs started, we had no Star players, so the kings should have swept us…. But it’s maybe not that easy. Sounds like you are drinking from the hindsight cup now

These expansion franchises which Go from brand new to Stanley Cup contenders instantly is terrible
The Sabres are one of the proudest franchise in the NHL… 1970… And we’ve Had to go through ***** while expansion teams turn into the contenders overnight
Every five years why not take the lowest standing team and let them do expansion… Because Any GM can build a competent team that wayIt’s not hard what Vegas did… Any real hockey guy could’ve built that team
What’s hard is rebuilding the Sabres… Who we’re good for 15 years straight… Had no people in the pipeline because they’re always playing for now
Then when the core leaves… The pipeline is bare because they were always playing for playoff contention… They buy at the deadline
Then when we got bad… It was 13 years of futility… Because We had to play 20 year old kids who weren’t ready to play … And by the time they were 25 and ready…. They didn’t re sign with us and we start back at scratch
Being a bottom feeder in the NHL… Is almost a continuous cycle… It’s not like football where you could break out in a year or two
These expansion teams are on a unfair playing field
and **** eichel
I have to quote this again… do you realize how much of our roster has been flipped, including GMs and coaches?! It’s tougher to rebuild after a championship series than anything else, because those players want to get paid. We only have 6 players from that first year and on our 5th goalie this year… give me a flipping break. That’s just showing ineptitude on the Sabres part.
who is the Star player carrying our team? Who is our all star goalie?! We obviously kept half our team from that championship team 6 years ago… or maybe give a little credit to a team with a completely new identity making it back to the finals.
4 minutes ago, Buffalo716 said:Absolutely not
One of my best friends is a coach in the OHL and he called it with both Seattle and Las Vegas
He said both will be playoff contending teams within a season or two… Because they get to pick from a pool of 200 grown man NHL players
Not 19-year-old kids who aren’t physically ready… Get forced into playing on bad teams… And by the time they’re physically mature there on a different team
Real hockey guys saw this from miles away
Those expert you’re talking about Are called pundits and they get paid to take positions… pundits
I doubt you talked to real one hockey scout… Because every guy in the game of hockey I know was been drooling to be the GM of Las Vegas
So the Sabres don’t know how free agency or trade work?

Game 2 upcoming NHL Stanley Cup Finals. T-minus an hour give or take.
Yeah all Florida teams can go pound sand. GO GOLDEN KNIGHTS
Hopefully some comments post game.
to the bolded black this to me is just smart at this juncture of the season. But bullies will eventually get smacked in the mouth. It's gonna happen mark my words.

The Panthers were cheap shotting the entire game trying to get Vegas to react… but Vegas is big and strong on all 4 lines, and they laughed it off. The Panthers acted like punk little brothers who knew they couldn’t win a real hockey game. They were embarrassing in my opinion
