What's the story behind the "Sabres"

Hang on let me find the police report.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

This will never get old haha. But I think we may have motivated the Sabres.

The fact that the mods inadvertently spelled out "FU!" is the sweetest thing ever.

Why wouldn't Carolina pay the man?

I'm done *****ing about how much I hate the trade, but Sabers fans coming here to act like Eichel is god's gift to hockey are about as annoying as me *****ing about the trade. When they inevitably hit a losing streak and Eichel has gone cold, I think we should only go post on their board about how Eichel is no McDavid or Barzal.

I know you are responding to someone who could be said to be trolling but I have to point out that Eichel's shooting percentage is far below his career average so if a correction occurs it is likely to be a positive one. And if Jeff's percentage undergoes a correction back to normal it's reasonable to think they will both cancel each other out so the team probably won't go into a tailspin.

Do we know they didn't do it advertently? People game likes you know.

Why wouldn't Carolina pay the man?

It was either him or Stormy's girlfriend Caroline.

Wat?

Seriously, I know nothing about Carolina's cap situation but they were not even entertaining giving him a decent contract?

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Why wouldn't Carolina pay the man?

Because previous to his recent outburst in Buffalo, he'd given zero indication that he would be able to score that way consistently, and because the team around him hadn't gone to the playoffs in 9 years and changes were in order. You may not agree with that rationale, but it's not that hard to understand.

A Sabre background administrator is abusing his powers in the most Un-American way in reaction some people apparently intentionally using the Star Wars appropriate spelling out of mischief. I'm told.

No way, f***ing Sa-bers fans at it again

Who knows behinds the scenes, but Erik Cole and Brind’Amour said the same things about him.

The old boss of the site sensored the misspelling of Sabers.

That was part of the idea as it developed.

Awesome work fellas!

Thinking about this trade tonight. The 2nd was used on Kochetkov. The 3rd was used on Nikishin. Funny how these things go on occasion.

Every piece we got back has been a huge boon so far. The sixth was part of the Darling/Reimer swap, and Pu got 'traded' for Jurco, who went on to have a huge role in the Checkers Calder Cup championship. Pretty much a best case scenario for us, and definitely a win/win trade for both teams.

I’m glad Skinner found his game again. Turns out putting the 40-goal scorer on the 4th line was a poor idea.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Thanks for bumping this. I read the thread from start to finish having my coffee this morning. Boy, there were some great takes in this one.

You’re making me nervous now. I’m trying to remember what stupid things I might have said about this trade at the time.

I read the first few pages. @Vagrant looking pretty darn smart in hindsight...

 

[dogbazinho]

Still hate this trade. I get Skinner had to go but the return was Pu. I've probably made this reference already in this thread.
