Sabres Acquire Center Eric Staal from Wild for Marcus Johansson
PASabreFan replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Not true, but so what? What's it to ya? And if I need some kind of intervention, it's hilarious that you're the one always trying to lead the way. (Obvious example: I was an early and maybe the first adopter of Krueger, while most others were Debbie Downers. I still think he's the best hope for a turnaround. I tried to have a little fun with a nickname, and the board management chose to auto correct it to his full title and name.) -
The expected fall wave appears to have started based on seven day averages. This time instead of starting from a baseline of 0 average daily cases or a little over 20,000 average daily cases, we started at about 35,000 daily cases. There's no telling where this wave tops out.

Punch like Cossack hat more than beaver, no?

In summary, the one thing people want to read less than me talking about Terry again is people talking about me talking about Terry again. -

I'm still waiting for the Sabres to win a Cup (or any title) under Terry so I can face this dreadful choice. I look forward to that day. AND... I remain, I think, the only SSer who ever sent the man a Christmas card. -

Finally I'm on record several times saying the Sabres had close to the perfect owner, if only he would squash his hockey ego, developed in Olean according to my sources when he was involved in youth hockey, an ego that lets him believe he can run an NHL team. And I hold the board record for positive assertions that this franchise is destined to win a Cup. The vast majority of my posts aren't about Terry. Come to a GDT thread. Go Leafs! -

Maybe I didn't want to piss is in anyone's Cheerios. I try to emulate your positivity and good cheer. The trade didn't do much for me. Kind of on the fence. I didn't post until I saw the video. Actually I DID, to generally give Adams the benefit of the doubt. But your weird, longstanding and intensely personal vendetta against me didn't allow you to see it. I'll wait for the apology. -

I'm not moving to Canada. Sorry, guys. -

The organization is not the franchise. A presidential administration is not the country. If you can't see the difference, I don't know what to tell you. Yes, I truly despise this organization (read: the owners and their people). -

Watch this video if you want to see the Sabres franchise in the eyes, face and voice of a player. "We'll see what happens." This is a guy who would rather retire but someone won't let him leave 3.25 on the table. -
Not studied in humans yet. Coming soon. But the article was written by Brian Dunleavy, so it's a fine combination of glib and dull. Too bad snark can't be used as an anti-viral!

With rubber hoses, at that.

He was a marginal player because that's how hockey people in Chicago and Buffalo treated him. I suppose you described him as a dominating presence in goal in 1992 and openly predicted his entrance into the Hall of Fame. This is dumb. Everyone knows when Dom became The Dominator. -

I am aware. The question is when he started to Dominate. -

I rise, feably and shakily, in defense of my friend from Nova Scotia. OK, imma sit back down. Was Dom marginal in 1992? As an NHL player, clearly. As a goaltender, no. But was he The Dominator? No. He wasn't The Dominator until 93-94. As in dominating statistically. He had 7 shutouts in 93-94 after having just one shutout in about as many games to that point in his NHL career. Dom was a sub .900 save%, plus 3.00 GAA, .500 record goalie in 92-93. It should be recalled the Sabres buttoned down their style with LaFontaine out in 93-94, and it was the advent of the dead puck era. -

It's what you always worry about. What does the other GM know you don't know? Staal was overheard saying he wants to backpack through Europe. Marcus hated Fargo. The key to the trade: what is Staal's character. I imagine it was a key part of the Sabres research. For now I'll assume he has gas left in the tank, wants to burn the needle below E, likes the idea of playing in Buffalo, accepts the challenge of digging us out of hopelessness, etc. (I assume because I don't see how the Sabres make the trade without confirming those things.) -
So no internal cap?

The bolded seems like an enormous straw man. Your suggested way of protecting the vulnerable is admirable but not realistic. The way to protect the vulnerable (which includes most Americans, I would think) is to drive Covid down as low as possible.

But if you ride recklessly, you could kill me. Drunk driving laws are good, but they restrict personal freedom. I don't have to breathe anyone's cigarette smoke in public. I shouldn't have to breathe anyone's Covid.

Is that because they've given bad information? Or because the agencies became politicized?

I noticed two odd plants back in July, maybe, in a spot where I had cherry tomatoes planted last year. They were only tomato-like. No flowers, no little tomatoes, and when you tore a leaf, it had only a bit of that distinctive tomato plant smell. I forgot about them until I spotted one of them today. It had grown quite tall and had fallen on some low, green ground cover. It has a stalk or two of small cherry tomatoes and more stalks that are flowering. All of a sudden it's not tomato-like, it's a tomato plant. The other one has no flowers or fruit and is still quite small. It's a lighter green than a normal tomato plant and more delicate. I've never heard of tomato plants coming back one year to the next. Although, of course, tomatoes always fall and decompose in the late summer and fall. So the seeds are there. I've never seen anything come of them. Climate change?

Sabres: disappointing rookie is seen at golf tournament all jacked up Bills: new head coach candidate is seen at airport all suited up Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things.
