They did what they had to do. Probably trade Killorn for sure. Johnson if they can.

Has there been any hint of him waiving his NTC? It turns into a M-NTC next season so I'm not sure he'd put up much of a fight in being moved at this point but I'm just curious.

Howie went back at him, though I'm not sure that's actually Howie without a blue checkmark.

all the teams battled the same conditions, and the cream rose to the top.
and the cream was no where near Leafland. old Coxhead must be one really sore loser. or he's just a loser.

In his mind, if he doesn't count this year then it's been only 52 years since the Leafs won the Cup, not 53.

From what I've heard, a lot of the players woud have preferred to get out of the bubble, even just to travel.
More games, tighter schedule including back-to-back, and isolation: harder than usual, unless your team was eliminated early and you need an excuse.

I don't know if it was the same or harder, it was definitely different. To say it was easier is nutty.

What is it about the Toronto media/bloggers? Biggest bunch of douchebags out there.
So did we. And got screwed over for Game 1. Same as we did in the 1993 semi finals.

Agreed, it is very tough to quantify all of the changes since the format set up different obstacles to overcome.
If I had to speculate, the tournament was probably far more mentally draining (from constant safety precautions and confinement to being away from family for many) with a bit less physical hardship to deal with (without the travel and some extra downtime).
From there, the extra "rest" was probably beneficial to the older players and their ability to recuperate and play through nagging injuries, while the younger guys (especially those without families) probably handled the seclusion better and might have been more mentally sharp and focused.
The one constant though is that it was not easy by any means and, anyone who says that, is a moron.

The Bills Podcast thought it would be a good idea to send out a tweet asking for fans to submit questions for Kim Pegula to answer. It's gone about as well as you would expect:

Lol, that is awesome. Hopefully they don't let people hunt Sabretooth for sport or anything.
I am really worried about what the Sabres are going to do the next couple seasons. Of all of the teams out there, they seem like one of the top contenders to help the Raggies get to the next step.
They should produce a reality show of evil/checked-out-of-reality owners with Kim Pegula, Jeff "Fredo" Wilpon, James "Jazz" Dolan, Lil' Danny Snyder, Jerry Reisendorf, Jim Haslam, etc.
Put them all on an island and let them battle it out, Lord of the Flies style. It would probably draw more viewers than the Super Bowl.
