Until they broke through in '94, fans razzed the Rangers with "nineteen-forty". How on earth have fans refrained from "twenty-o'four-ing" these Leafs?

Re: 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs
This BOS-NYI OT is firewagon hockey. Both teams with tons of chances. You never see this sort of play during post-season free hockey.

As a forlorn Sabres fan, I approve.

Re: 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs
I gave up watching hockey 20 years ago. As a resident of Toronto I obviously made the right choice.
I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg

Re: 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs
Now we have 4 games for Scheifele for last night's charging hit on Evans. Big hit, def deserved a suspension IMO, but this does seem like dart-throwing. This was at least during play, wasn't an extended minute-long assault on a defenseless player's neck and head like Reaves on Graves was, and Scheifele has no prior record. So let's give double the games that Reaves got and half what Kadri got.
Okedoke then.

Must have pulled one more ball out of the draft lottery machine.

Re: 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs
I wanted Jets and Hurricanes. At least I get Islanders and, hopefully, Golden Knights.

Re: 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs
I'll root for Colorado on almost any day of the week. But not when they're playing Buffalo (they don't need it), Dallas, or Las Vegas.

Re: 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs
I had an amazing run of picking winners in the bubble last year. This year I was lukewarm in the first round (I did pick the Jets over the Oilers), but ice cold here in the second round. I had the Isles and have the Avs, but missed the other two series.
Here's to a great finish in the Knights/Avs series. The close games in that series have been unlike anything else we've been watching this post-season. An Avs/Lightning finals could be just the thing for bringing new viewers into the game, and would be a ton of fun for already-fans of the league.

I'm sure that everyone is sad that a Boston team has been knocked out of the playoffs.

Re: 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs
I had no idea people had a distaste for the Bruins. For a long time, they'd have been my second team. Unlike, say, the Celts, Pats, or RSox.

Re: 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs
Chara's not on the team anymore! So we're good?
I also suspect that the Bruins wind up getting some splash damage from people being fed up with the Patriots and Red Sox.

They are a Sabres division opponent. I'm good.

Or losing a draft lottery with your ton of chances year after year after year.

Re: 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs
Vegas joined the league in 2017-18; Buffalo finished 31st.
...
2019-20 was the bubble year, top 24 teams went to the expanded playoffs; Buffalo finished 25th.
2020-21, Buffalo finished 31st.

Re: 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs
It seems pretty well established at this point that Buffalo's problem is front office (simply because there are really not many other options left). You can't even blame it on coaching, seeing as they've gone through more coaches in the last few years than the rest of their division combined. Their dysfunction is almost intractable.
As for the Avs...I'm just pissed that they are blowing it to VGK, a team that I absolutely despise.

When I was young, the Sabres were the team that the Bruins would always beat in the 1st round before getting demolished by the Penguins in the 2nd.

Always happy to the see the Isles do well. Was a massive fan growing up during the Dynasty years.

Re: 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs
The sad thing about Boston being out is it eliminates the chance of the Golden Knight defeating a live bear as the pregame show to a Stanley Cup final game.

Yup. So frustrating. They have the talent. But they always seem to end up choking. No idea why.

Re: 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs
Last year the whole goalie corps was steamrolled. This year, they ran into the other best team in the league in round 2. The frustrating part for me is that next year the cap situation starts getting a lot more difficult.
