Their Jets history.
celest zephyr
This makes no sense

About as much sense as two teams being called the hornets
I meant winning a series lol

Since 2011

It is so weird that Winnipeg is the home of a hockey team and not exclusively the most stabbings in a city Canada wide lol
celest zephyr
89-2011
dim kettle
The Yotes made it to the WCF in the 2011-12 season.
celest zephyr
So that’s what like 23 years

The Jets were the punching bag of the NHL for the longest time.
celest zephyr
But the Yotes are the OG Winnipeg Jets.
Sports history is confusing
short flame
The Jets were the punching bag of the NHL for the longest time.
we hold the title now

In short. The OG Jets are the Coyotes now, And the Atlanta Thrashers are the new Winnipeg Jets

No, the Panthers were just the forgotten lolcow.

we haven't made the playoffs since 2011

This stretch has been the best I've seen from the Panthers as a fan of the NHL.

7-0 Leafs. Ducks are such a joke. lol

Clean sheet nice

You know the Ducks haven't scored a goal in 2 straight games?
And the fact that the Ducks lost to the Sharks 6-1 the last time they did.
short flame
You know the Ducks haven't scored a goal in 2 straight games?
Nice contribution
Thanks ducks for giving us clean sheets
celest zephyr

No kidding, the Ducks have multiple games in December alone where they lost by 4 goals or more.
I thought the pandemic year was rock bottom for the Ducks. But holy crap this year so far.

No way the Sabres come anywhere close to the Ducks levels of ineptitude rn

The Sharks at least look like a hockey team most nights.

Sabres are 13-14-2

At least we’re better than Ottawa

dim kettle
Gordie Howe and Wayne Gretzky.
short flame
oh didn't know gordie had 800
How many would he have to score to be first? is it possible?
dim kettle
He's gonna pass Howe. He has only more goal than Ovi rn. But Gretzky has 894 goals overall.
rustic ore
Ovi's 37, depends on how much longer he wants to keep playing but I would lean no
dim kettle
Yeah, I don't think he's gonna be the one to break it. Gretzky was a scoring machine. Ovi is most effective on the PP.
short flame
I think it's unlikely but I think it would be a good way to end his career
rustic ore
Of course it would, who wouldn't love to retire as the all time leading scorer in NHL history?
dim kettle
Let's put it this way. Gretzky broke Howe's record at age 33.
short flame
kind of funny that the greatest nhl brothers are wayne and brent yet brent only has 4 points. that's how good wayne was

Caps really wanted to get that extra point before the game was over. Another 7 goal game today.

You wanna know how cruel the hockey gods can be to me? The only time I can get to see Price play for the Finals I can't even root for him because he had to play against my Lightning.

NHL is a young league. There’s a lot of teams like Buffalo where a roster feels like 2 teams in 1 sometimes. Old and young. Rangers have that vibe sometimes so I understand
short flame
they have to do it while jeff is still there
robust grotto
Honestly I have faith someone like Cozens can fill in easy for skinner
dim kettle
Rangers have to figure their shit out too.
short flame
You also have to remember that Kyle Okposo on the Sabres has not been a nice rid...
Remember when we lost 8 in a row, okpokun was out and we were horrendous, someone has to be there for the kids, they can't do it alone, at least not yet and when okpokun will leave it'll take some time to recover

Honestly I have faith someone like Cozens can fill in easy for skinner
I don't want that though
skinner was one of the reasons I started watching buffalo
I want him to have a little moment of hapiness with the club

Their HC could also provide that leadership.
short flame
thing is the head coach can't do it alone, the captain is the link between the coach and the players. You can't have the psychologic effect as a coach compared to someone who's on the ice with the players
dim kettle
Either way, like I said, the young players will have to figure it out. Because you know Kyle will be hurt again.
short flame
We can handle a couple of days with him out
But I don’t see this team finishing anywhere else than last when he retires
dim kettle
Also here some info to pass by. When the Bolts got Stammer and Hedman they still had Bolts legends St Louis and Lecavalier. When Yzerman took over he knew he'd have to phase those guys out slowly. So he traded Lecavalier away in 2013 and St Louis in 2014.
Stamkos was 24 and Hedman was also 24 by the time those trades happened. So yeah. Another few years for those the young guys.
dim kettle
Still remember feeling empty inside when St Louis was traded. That dude was the Lightning for me.
short flame
I know the young guys will get there some day
But I don’t want to put the pressure of a team that’s been out of the competition for 11 years on the kids
When stamkos took over he was in a good squad
dim kettle
Eventually they have to. Can't bubble wrap them forever.
short flame
When Dahlin takes over he’ll have 15 years of hurt on his shoulders
dim kettle
When stamkos took over he was in a good squad
Dude, dude. The Bolts got the number one pick to get Stammer for a reason.
The Bolts were total shit from 2007 to 2010.
dim kettle
Yes. Doesn't matter if it's 4 years or 15 years. A shit team is a shit team.
short flame
It matters to the player
The pressure you put on his shoulders
We’re a dead team at the moment

Well, you'll know if they can be the guys are not when the pressure is put on them.

They’ve been tested and look what happened
dim kettle
That's why they're still in a rebuild. Those guys if they really are the guys will figure it out.
short flame
Except that this was the best team we’ll have in years
dim kettle
Stammer had to, Heddy had to, They had more pressure in fact because those were the guys replacing the OG Bolt players that won the cup in 04.
short flame
Wait any longer and we’ll have to rebuild again
short flame
Stammer had to, Heddy had to, They had more pressure in fact because those were ...
They were coming in a successful team
It’s positive pressure
The pressure in buffalo is don’t be as bad as the last guy
dim kettle
When the team is picking in the top 2, 2 years in a row, with unstable ownership, and attendance down big. I don't think they were in a good situation.
dim kettle
The Bolts won a cup and some playoff success, but the Bolts were considered a mickey mouse team until Jeff Vinik and Yzerman came in
short flame
Most Buffalo fans have just seen a shit team all their life
If you were a Mickey Mouse club what are we
Remember that the current buffalo team is the worst in nhl history
dim kettle
I mean, you are now. But I know this because I was there. The Bolts looked to have no future and were trading fan favorites to save money, and were considered a joke to many hockey fans.
short flame
And that brand will just continue growing
I just don’t think it’s fair to put 15 years of pressure on the kids
dim kettle
Then you shouldn't have a draft. Unfortunately, you get picked number one overall, you're seen as a franchise changer.
short flame
Never been a fan of draft system. I think it’s unnecessary pressure on a teenager to come save the worst club in the league
I’d change whatever player we get first round to go get a veteran from another side

A lot of judgment on Qbs as well
Quick to pounce on them if they don’t succeed quickly like Mahomes, Herbert, or Burrow
It’s skewed how people watch them
dim kettle
I really do miss the days when you actually had to be patient with a young QB. Now everyone just expects the team picking high has a sliver of the talent KC has.
