One Boston Team down....


Recommended Posts

I gotta say, I love the Celtics...but I hate all the other Boston teams...nice to see the Bruins lose on their home ice.  That said, where has this popular narrative come up that "no team is more deserving of a championship" than the Blues?  Really?

Yeah, but disregard the fact that RoR had to leave Buffalo to do it, though...

 

Plus he gets Finals MVP.   I can’t disparage him winning a title.  I just didn’t like his comments at the end of last season from a supposed team leader and I suspect management didn’t like them either.  He may have wanted to leave but he didn’t demand a trade.  He also had nothing to do with the poor return the Sabres ended up with.

Good for them. I just visited St. Louis on a business trip and thought the city was very ... average. But they clearly care about their teams. Congrats to the Blues!

So we dump Ryan O'Reilly and 8 months later he hoisting the cup.

How nice...

 

ROR couldn't handle the responsibility of being a leader on a team that needed to grow.  It caused him to lose his love for the game at times during the season.  He was also insanely jealous of Eichel and didn't want to sit in the back seat.  

 

ROR is a petulant child that showed his true character in Buffalo.  He's soft and quits when the going gets tough.   He needed a place like St. Louis where his faults weren't needed.

ROR pee'd on his teammates in Buffalo. He's a self serving crying urinator.

 

 

No, he's a Stanley Cup winning hero who was emancipated from the perennial shart show that is the Sabres.

ROR had 25 points in the post season. He had a 4 game goal streak in the finals (Last player since Gretzky to do that) and reports are now that he was playing since round 2 with a cracked rib. Oh yeah and he just won the Conn Smythe trophy. So I probably wouldn't agree with you that hes soft and quits when the going gets tough. 

 

I heard the Eichel interview on Chiclets and he straight up denied any friction with ROR and went on to talk about how tight they were.

One of my favorite players, David Perron, did a very nice job all through the playoffs... I’m glad he’s got his name on the cup, just wish it was with my Knights

What helped him get his name on the cup was the lecture from the coach, a few games into the series, about not taking dumb penalties.

Thank you doctor.  However, it sounds personal.

We are having a party this weekend celebrating Boston loosing the cup on home ice. Going out on the pontoon boat on Fox lake and getting totally messed up. An occasion like Boston losing game 7 on home ice NEEDS to be celebrated this weekend.

 

Make sure there’s plenty of life preservers to go around.

Its always someone else's fault when the team sucks... never the ineptitude of PSE. The hockey franchise is a tire fire. 

 

I never said that it was his fault.  Go back and read my post again.  He played excellent for us but the hard times proved to be too hard for him to handle.  He needed to leave because the leadership role wore him down to the point he lost his love of the game during the season.

LOL, didn't mention a drought, but I get your point... there does seem to be a bit of animosity on these boards towards my Knights. Is it because we have a far louder/better/superior arena experience on a weekday game than the Sabres can muster on their best weekend? I was on the BBMB for years saying how Vegas was starved for a professional team, and whichever sport gets here first will have a ravenous fan base. You can't go anywhere around Vegas without seeing Golden Knights gear (literally everywhere). I am a lifelong Bills fan, born and raised in Vegas. I get the passion that comes with being loyal with a team through thick and thin, especially through 17 years of a playoff drought. But this city's passion for the golden knights is not for show... At the school I teach at, every other room has Golden Knights decor all over.

 

They are my Knights, just as the Bills are My Bills. My passion for both teams is unwavering. Though, It is quite fun to see a little jealousy in the snarky remarks from others, when I wasn't being snarky to them. So again, Yes, My Knights, and don't let your Sabre inferiority complex make you a turd... It is unbecoming.
