And we won't unless something leaks (and can be trusted). Like someone said upthread, it's not like there are going to be documents in some (most?) cases for what was offered. I'd think this all happens as phone calls or maybe text messages.

But has never been used on a pro hockey player or something, isn't that the rub?

He's the first person in the (checks math) 14 years I've been a member here I've ignored. That says a lot with the trolls of the past like Fire Lindy Ruff Now. This thread was unreadable with every other post being garbage.

I do the ever graceful walk like an Egyptian pose so they hit my arm. I'm relatively tall, so getting webs in my face is a year-round activity for me in the woods.

Speaking of spiders, I finally re-home a spider that had been living in the right-side mirror in my car for the last year or two. Could never catch it "out" so I'd knock down the web regularly and it'd always be back the next day. Got home around dusk in the other car, and see it just getting started on its building project. Maybe an inch diameter with the legs, odd grey color. Pretty sure this is it: https://www.cirrusimage.com/spider-furrow-orbweaver/

My condolences, truly. Being obese is (other than financial via insurance rates) a personal decision. Smoking cigarettes, drinking bleach, or dangerous sports, all individual; knock yourself out. Vax can also be an individual decision, but you have to take responsibility for it. Stay away from everyone else, and if you *have*, and I mean *have* to go out, distance and mask. There are too many that are too selfish to do that, and that's why we're where we are. It comes from the top, with the hypocrites at the top encouraging people to believe nonsense.

Heh, I suspect the intersection of Bills fans and anti-vax is higher than the general population. It will be interesting.

Sabrespace (we) will be top-3 in Sabres-related forums for the season. The Sabres (they) will be bottom-10 at best.

Commas, help... tremendously-here!

RE: Cam Newton: this clearly screws up all those Trubisky trade plans Beane has been working!

Frankly, no idea. But he's shown that he'll report things to fit his agenda, and something along the lines of "Jack doesn't bleed blue and gold enough" seems like something that he'd start reporting anything that makes Jack look bad. And that's easy pickings with Jack's behavior.

Interesting. Of course, I don't believe a word Hamilton says as he seems to hold grudges against players. On the flip side, I can totally see that scenario being true and even likely.

Yeah, easily could have deleted Triumph's last tantrum and moved on with the useful discussion. I don't believe this belongs in Politics, there was useful discussion here and I didn't see much, if any, straight up Politics. Other than Triumph calling everyone that disagrees with his conspiracy theories a leftist, of course.

Based on that other info that Fish was still Eichel's agent at that meeting with NHL, NHLPA, etc. last week, so it's easy to make a leap that something happened there that caused Fish to be canned. There are a lot of things that could be, Eichel wants to dig in on surgery but Fish told him it's not going to happen, Eichel is tired and wants to heal up and play and Fish is still trying to force a trade, Fish was a giant jerk of something and Eichel wants someone more seasoned, etc.

Skimmed the article: sure, Sweden a ton more people died, but they didn't risk "Freedom and liberty", so essentially it's OK if people die as long as I can shop and not wear a mask. I don't think there's a lot of people buying that BS. Nice that's it's .AU, showing that there are callous people outside the USA. Link? The only CDC link I saw posted here said the opposite.

Indeed: https://www.newyorker.com/news/dispatch/swedens-pandemic-experiment

I think you're talking past each other. The CDC link above says two-dose (Pfizer and Moderna), and those links all appear to be talking about single-dose, right?

I feel like it'll never end. Trade, no trade, it'll be going for years; maybe until he's retired.

While I hate driving my Sienna, it just feels ponderous, if you set up your lines really well it'll hustle OK. Fast enough to be annoyed by slow-pokes on Harleys on a twisty road (AMHIK). Chevy had an SUV-looking van for awhile, but I don't think it sold well. Never really did dream cars. While I spend a decade or two loving cars and reading things, dreaming, it's still a tool in the end. So I've owned my two dream cars, 2002 WRX and 2011 WRX. Four doors (although if I bought another it'd be a hatch), practical, good in snow. And I riot to drive on just about any road. Next car will likely be an Outback to eventually replace the van, or an electric for non-trip driving.

I think so! Also: this thread would have been even more awesome if Ink hadn't included a picture in the original post for the ultimate creepiness.

Do I still count if the only interaction I have with the Sabres Universe is reading the occasional thread or two in here? I have zero plan to watch games this year (like the last two).

They lost me 1-2 years ago. I don't think I've watched a whole game in at least that long. EDIT: now that I think about it, I'm not sure I could watch the games. We moved Pietowne to Ithaca in June, and I may be in the market; I'm sure not getting cable. In Philly I did NHL.tv for awhile.

If I remember right, he actually waited for Domi; the penalty had expired for a second or three before he stepped out.

I picked the first AHL team that came to mind, the Phantoms, and found this (granted, 2000-2010 era): EDIT: looked, it appears that every Phantoms head coach since 2000, other than Scott Gordon and Greg Gilbert, played for the Flyers at some point.

Damn, now I'm all confused.
