Thread: We Won But At What Cost
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yikes</b></div><div>“ Jared Bednar on his team's response to the MacKinnon hit: "I liked it. ... I don't think his intent was to hit Nate high, but he catches him high."

"The power play goes out right away and pots a big goal." “

I just think your hot on the play.

Wasn’t a good hit but wasn’t a dumb player/ being an idiot like you allude to him being a piece of sh**. Both coaches have very similar opinions on the hit and there was no huge uproar.

Wasn’t a good hit but definitely wasn’t an idiotic play like some players make/ you’re making it out to be.

He gets a game or so; about right, and we move on. Don’t think bad blood is needed or warranted lol</div></div>

im not alluding hes a piece of poop, its a low hockey IQ hit by player who has 4 game sin the NHL at what 4 mins a night, he hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt of hes not a smart player at the NHL level...that was pretty dumb by him.

He had multiple opportunities to address that hit different, change his angles etc, and played it in the worst possible way.

No one was saying he intended to hit Nates head, but he did it bc he didnt address the play properly, It can be a dumb low hockey IQ hit without intent

and with how the sharks broadcast tried to pin the blame of that hit on Nate...nah man avs fan are not taking any of that nonsense

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SJS2212</b></div><div>See more contact in a soccer game than on that "hit" where the head was about the 3rd point of contact with the slightest of glancing blows. If he is concussed from that, he probably lives half of his life with a concussion because better odds of getting one hitting your head in a bevy of other ways than with that play. Hope he's fine, but in reality he should be more than fine because there was minimal of anything that really happened.</div></div>

It was a dumb hit by a dumb player who was at mid ice, saw the whole play develop, picked up his stride towards Nate, did not attempt to play the puck, principle contact with the head, lowered his shoulder and lead with his elbow. It was a garbage play, just everything he did was the worst possible decision made

He could. have just put a stick on him or lined him up on the body or hip and he would have made an actual hockey play. He hit him square on the chin, dont downplay it

He will be suspended bc he had multiple opportunities to avoid the play or play it differently and he did not. Low IQ play so he will get what he deserves

Thread: Helping the Fly Guys
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabres_Insider</b></div><div>he lost his dad during the year and sabres fans donated alot of money to a foundation for him. IDK i just cant see him leaving imo</div></div>

that is nice that the sabres fans supported him, but I dont think that is what keeps a guy. A lot of fan bases support guys charities while they are witht the team, but guys move on.
Hes a pro athlete, so what does he want....to win? to be paid what he believes he deserves? A fresh start bc he doesnt like the management group and this is his first chance as a UFA to dictate his career.

Could still be in buffalo but he will do whats best for his career. And from an outsider whatever is going on in buffalo as an org is toxic, probably due to the ownership group bc they are the only thing constant there over all these years. If they rebuild why would the invest heavily into a 27 year old goalie if they are going to be 3-5 years until they are competitive again post Eichel?

Thread: Fix the Oilers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eclipze</b></div><div>I just really wanted Toews lol was hoping the Oilers were in on him when the rumours were he was available.</div></div>

well there was no actual rumours he was available, Sakic came to the islanders with an offer they liked before they got into deeper cap crunch

Islanders moved him bc he already filed his arbitration at the time of the deal and were scared of the number that he was going to be rewards, avs took the chance to trade for him and get a deal done before his Arb case was heard

the price of 2 2nds is peanuts with the level of player he is, the guy is a stud next to either Makar or Girard. So a 3rd and a bottom pairing pending UFA doesnt even get the convo started. You are going to have to over pay well beyond what Avs gave up for him
