Around the NHL - Playoffs? We're Talkin' 'bout Playoffs?

The situations are not comparable when the players in question are vastly different... The difference between 0.85ppg vs 0.5ppg players in the NHL is ginormous.

Assuming scoring was the key factor

I watched it again and PK is an amazing human being.

Uh. It's not like Reinhart is some Selke candidate...its not like Reinhart is physical and fights, it's not like Reinhart is fast..its not like Reinhart is racking up assists with his pin point passing skills...If it's not all about scoring....what the hell is Reinhart contributing?

Edit: Anyways...you can't compare the players or the situation. When Hall was traded he was an all star and Team Canada regular... multiple levels above Reinhart

Using a former high 1st round pick to address a position of weakness(defense)....glad we don’t think like Chiarelli on these boards...

Reinhart was widely considered one of the biggest draft busts ever when Chiarelli acquired him. There is no defending him here in any way. He got clowned in a trade by Garth Snow. Think about that for a minute.

How many said to themselves, "Rinaldo's still in the league?!"

Slight variant. "How is Rinaldo still in the league?"

He had the high hit on Risto that put him on the shelf. The dude has no redeeming qualities.

I found a video on YouTube on the Whalers 1986 playoff run. I had tears coming down my eyes watching Kevin Dineen score the game 4 OT winner vs the Habs, and then the legendary game 6 where Mike Liut shut them out 1-0. Those were the two most magical moments in the history of hockey in Hartford. I turned it off when it got to the game 7 because the pain of watching it knowing what happened was just too much for me to bear. If the Whalers won that game there is no doubt in my mind they beat the Rangers and Flames and win the cup. History would've forever changed and my Whalers would still be alive. f*** you Claude Lemieux you dirty filthy sack of crap, may you burn in hell along with Ed Johnson, Rich Gordon, Lowel Weicker, John Rowland, Gary Bettman and the biggest rat bastard of all Peter Karmanos for the past 20 years of pure pain and agony I've suffered every day of my life since.

I'll just add this: because of Terry Pegulia I will never have my heart crushed and broken like that ever again. The Sabres will be here long after I am gone and no matter how many mistakes Terry makes I will always be eternally grateful to him (same goes for Gollisano for literally stepping up and saving us in our darkest hour).

Reinhart is
1) one of the best defensive forwards on this team
2) back-to-back 5on5 assists leader on this team

Have you tried any voodoo dolls in the likeness of those people you listed? Some people think that they work just to sooth your emotions, kinda like a placebo effect, but I prefer the real ones...

2) back-to-back 5on5 assists leader on this team

1) He's not bad defensively but he's not particularly good either. He's just competent. Calling him one of the best defensive forwards on this team is like saying Nathan Gerbe is one of the tallest people in the room filled with 3rd graders.

2) He has 6 assists this year.

Reinhart+Kane for D help pleaseeee.

I first read about Johnny Bower in one of Stan Fischler’s books in the mid 1970’s. Good book, even better writer, and a great story.

Fischler has the best presentation of the most senile takes.

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

He's basically the only person still in media old enough to be wrong about Orr and Gretzky.

Kane for Milano and a pick.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Kane for Milano and a pick.

Kane+Reinhart for Milano+Carlsson+2nd (1st would be better if we can get it) is what Im thinking

Both teams face off against each other again tonight in Denver.....

Erik Johnson just pounded the s**t out of Rinaldo after he sucker punched Girard.

Should be an enjoyable rematch....

Remember when a couple of guys actually entertained the possibility that Tocchet might be the next Sabres head coach??????

Love Johnson, a shame he always seems hurt.
