@Joe_McCoy12 @EricMacramalla That's quite a leap... the Stanley Cup is not a participation trophy.

@EricMacramalla So you’re against participation trophies too Eric?
English
Putting your kids' names on the Stanley Cup teaches them that recognition doesn't have to be earned. That's entitlement.
English
@TheWarningTake Lance Lysowski covered the Sabres for years, so this is not out of his 'lane'.
English
Another pencil neck no muscle mass “journalist” chimes in on a sport he doesn’t even cover as part of his “profession”.
I love how people who have zero investment in hockey or the Canes are suddenly dog piling on this for whatever disingenuous, selfish morality policing reasons they came up with.
Stay in your lane. We can care less about your opinion.
Lance Lysowski@LLysowski
Joel Nystrom, who played 38 games for the Hurricanes, is not engraved on the Cup, but the owner put the names of his five children. Other support staff are also deserving. Tacky. And not at all surprising.
English
@ByMHarrington I agree with you, this is a disgrace. What's next, the commish handing the Cup to the owner on the ice instead of the winning captain, just like the other major sports?
English
This is a disgrace. The Hurricanes’ owner has put the names of his wife and kids on the Stanley Cup, above all the team officials, coaches and players.
Rich people doing whatever they want is a massive problem in this society. How could the NHL let this happen?
Carolina Hurricanes@Canes
Forever etched in history
English
@ByMHarrington Having your name engraved on the Stanley Cup is supposed to mean you contributed to winning it; not that you have the same last name as the owner.
English
The most ridiculous take on the Carolina situation is “he’s the owner and he can do whatever he wants.”
No, he can’t. He has a franchise in a league. There are rules. I don’t need to say where I’m sure this take is coming from but we all know. Stop it.
English
@andystrickland It's disgraceful. A name engraved on the Stanley Cup should mean that you DIRECTLY contributed to winning it.
English
Thoughts on Tom Dunden, Carolina Hurricanes owner, having his entire family engraved on the cup while leaving off important PR people and a long time equipment trainer? Should NHL step in? He isn’t the first owner to do this.
English
@Carolina_2463 IMO, getting a name engraved on the Stanley Cup should be reserved for those who DIRECTLY contributed to winning it. Players, coaches, GM, plus training and equipment staff. Things like this - rich people doing rich people things - is stolen valor
English
@ClownPunchers @NHL You're really stretching the interpretation of the rule
English
@BluesProspects1 You're essentially asking for four 1sts from Buffalo. No thanks.
English
Rank the four packages in order you would want for Robert Thomas if he were to get traded #stlblues
Utah: Desynoyers, But, Lamoureux, 19th
Buffalo: Helenius, Mrtka, Quinn, 27th
Anaheim: Mctavish, McQueen, Mintyukov, 2027 first
Montreal: Hage, Reignbacher, Kapanen, 29th
English
@SabresBuzz @AmerksHockey I agree. They'll try to move him for an asset, or include him in a package deal for a Tuch replacement.
English
Linus Ullmark played 130 for @AmerksHockey UPL played 60 games in the The A
Devon Levi has played 136 games and counting in The 585 and it sounds like he’s ear marked to play there again next season.
I’m willing to bet that Levi will be gone this Summe
English
@amato_mike Check who the Sabres traded to get Dominik Hasek.
English
Wouldn't say it was the biggest steal of all time, but the Canadiens getting Nick Suzuki for 30-year-old Max Pacioretty has to at least be near the top of the list.
English
@trainofangels00 I respect him for his hockey ability, not his choice of friends or his political views.
English
Canada....do you still have any respect for Wayne Gretzky?
English
@ByMHarrington I think HNIC and the Habs have a lot of pull. With the Celtics at 1PM, I bet we get the Sabres at 4PM and then the Habs at 7:30.
English
The Celtics are playing at 1. That trends to Sabres being at night. And HNIC doesn't get that kind of priority. US TV is going to mostly rule.
Mike McGrath 🇨🇦@mcgmedia
@ByMHarrington My guess is HNIC wants the Habs game in the evening, forcing the Sabres/Bruins to the afternoon

Name a movie you've seen more than 7 times with just a GIF
English
@PeteKadar That doesn't seem right. Last night, the Sabres had Kesselring, Schenn, Metsa, Pearson, etc as healthy scratches
English
I think a team can only have so many healthy scratches per game.
Mike McGrath 🇨🇦@mcgmedia
@ByMHarrington Why not just say they are a healthy scratch?
English
This is really pathetic. League should not be allowing this.

@NoPainNoLane48 @MitchyGallo Dahlin already had a fight earlier in the game.
English
@MitchyGallo Why is Dahlin so unwillinging in such an emotionally charged game.
I’m conflicted because it’s a fine line between stoicism and lack of situational awareness. Taking a beating to goad somebody into a penalty only works for so long before your body breaks down.
English
$5,000 for jumping an unwilling fighter and repeatedly punching him in the back of the head... Cool
NHL Player Safety@NHLPlayerSafety
Tampa Bay’s Brandon Hagel has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for serving as the aggressor in an altercation with Buffalo’s Rasmus Dahlin.
English
@PK_716 @AfterLeWhistle I don't really think of Kesselring as a fringe NHLer...
English
@mcgmedia @AfterLeWhistle One injury to your top 4 defenders and you have to play 3 fringe NHLers rather than 2
English
Re Colton Parayko:
Can’t blame him. He’s already won a cup. He’s a Western Canada boy, who’s earned his right to dictate his future and destination.
Sucks because he’s exactly what they need.
Sabres maybe shouldn’t have slept on Mackenzie Weegar.
English
@PK_716 @AfterLeWhistle Why? They've been the best team in the NHL for 3 months. They don't NEED to make a move.
English
@AfterLeWhistle Sabres coming out of the deadline with nothing will be comical
