SinceThe70s Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 So apparently having a player score 4 goals in a game is the kiss of death in a Stanley Cup playoff game. First Pavelski and now Draisaitl. Go figure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 well I watched the Canes literally outskate outhustle and outscore the Lindy Ruff led Devils last night. Pulling Schmid was a way to hopefully change momentum but in my novice opinion it was his defense that allowed the Canes to have those scoring chances more so ...not His entire fault. Carolina smacked em in the mouth and beat them handily. I really hope the series ends up being competitive. Upon reflection I am torn by wanting Lindy Ruff to have won a championship vs my buddy the diehard Canes fan wanting one too I hope one of those teams goes all the way. PS: I missed out on that entire Jack Eichel debacle Thank goodness. He is clearly persona non grata in BFLO. m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Quote The NHL Draft Lottery is tonight! We possess the 13th-best odds to win the first lottery draw at 2.0 percent. We can jump a maximum of 10 spots - meaning we could win the No. 3 overall pick with the lottery win.

The 30-year-old forward is expected to miss the entire 2023-24 season. https://t.co/bM466EpL3G" / Twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leafs got really lucky yesterday on the 1st goal where the puck deflects of the ref's knee and goes right in front of the net for a tap in goal. I hope the Cats close them out in game 5 but if not, they better do it in game 6. If this goes 7 then they are in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot of bandwagon fans for sure, but honestly every city will have those during deep playoff runs. What the Canes have in abundance among their fan base are team swappers. They show up in their canes gear all season until the team from the city they moved from comes to town, then it's time to put on that jersey. And yes I know more than a few Sabres "fans" here who do this. At a sabres game here about ten years ago I saw a guy wearing a canes jersey and sabres hat.

I have a friend I went to college with who does this. Isn't even a hockey fan. During the playoffs though he continually spams social media about the Rangers. During Carolina runs its the same way with Carolina. I just think you cant do that. I had to endure his 4 Yankees world series wins when in college. He is also a big Lakers "fan".

Prospector Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 For the VGK, we only have 5 players from our original Stanley Cup Final team that all the experts said was a bottom 5 team before the season... we made multiple coaching, GM and players changes since then. Heck, what are we on, our 11th Goalie by now since Fleury [A. Hill (who is our 3rd, maybe 4th, back up for the season?!)]. After our missed playoffs last year, our team still sold out all season tickets. You can't go into any store/business/meeting area and not see Golden knights gear all year round. Vegas is a VGK town, like Buffalo is a Bills Town... and we say go Knights in other cities just like we say Go Bills in other cities. And it is kinda cool that 3 of our 5 remaining expansion players scored every goal last game. I just wished Carrier and Eichel would have made a goal, so my Bills fandom could puff its chest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I will be pulling for Dallas to represent the west in the cup finals which is conflicting. I can't stomach the idea of either expansion team hoisting the cup. And in the east, go Panthers I guess. 🤮 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
