Aren't all men of that age conscripted to enter military service? (ie, grab the nearest weapon and go)

But you like SOME people, and I feel honored to be one of them. Literally wrong? Yes. I'm sure it was louder when Skinner won that 10th game in a row in OT. But clearly Jack has had that comment squirreled away for a long time. He's bitter that the crowd in Buffalo is so lame. He's not wrong. It's not (necessarily) an insult. Passively sitting and watching is in the DNA. ("Traditional and knowledgeable.") So is the negativity.

Hate is never the answer. Only love is. Hate cannot lead to love. It's all we need.

Like fer sher.

Also the first. As someone who was cool on Eichel from the drunk video and childish chirping of teammates in some summer scrimmage, I'll just sit back and enjoy.

"It only took seven years for them to get in the game." He's not wrong.

Perfect response. General quiet with mix of boos and claps for the hockey highlights then a nice ovation for the Roswell bit.

If one wanted to watch one John Jacob Jingleheimerschmidt tonight without ESPN+, would one do that by watching a stream on one youtube.com? And if so where would one find out the link a dink?

I shaved my lower back.

But, for me anyway, it's not about punishing Don Granato (hometown: Downers Grove, IL, which still bears the scar marks of the Martian invasion, but I digress

Or as director of player development in Buffalo, if he's that good at it, instead of a former player who needs a job.

Hirschsprung's disease

You wrote, "I don’t know how anyone can form a firm opinion of Donny G as a coach when we’ve never seen him operate in an expectation of winning environment." You're admitting Don has not coached an NHL team whose mission is to win. So he's a huge question mark when the time comes. I would hope everyone would agree. It's an objective statement. (As is every first-time coach until they prove themselves, Cooper, Boudreau, Trotz, Scotty Bowman.) The question is whether you want such a coach at this time in the franchise's history (stench of losing, fan base about gone, image around the league etc.). I'd make the change this fall. I fully understand that's not going to happen. Nothing I want ever happens, except that time I got Lindy fired. Some clarity at least would be nice. I think we'll have clarity on Dahlin this fall. If the roster is dramatically improved, we'll have clarity on MFHCTG. Why take the chance that that clarity won't be pretty? I also look beside TG and see a big dude and Adam Mair or Matt Ellis or some such fella. Could we at least agree Tony should have someone with NHL chops on his staff?

So traditional and knowledgeable!

You're admitting that an NHL head coach is a huge unknown in terms of whether he can coach. Kinda says it all. I think he's good in his current role. That role can't last forever. It's wishful thinking on my part that his job is done here. Everyone can't be good at everything. Put another way would Cooper or Trotz have done as good a job as Granato? I have my doubts.

Not hard. Blue and yellow.

So the guys you're targeting were in elementary school when Tony broke in?

Are all opinions agendas? I haven't said much about TG. I was skeptical of the hire, warmed up to it, then didn't like his response to his team getting shafted by the league twice in short order, which again looks to me like a franchise that doesn't act like it cares about losing. Let's say Adams tries to what virtually everyone wants over the summer: put a lot more talent around the kids. Free agents are targeted. Can you not imagine a potential free agent seriously asking his agent, "Wait, who's the coach up there now?"

More to the point, the population of the city itself also went up. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/buffalocitynewyork

FWIW, the population of Erie County apparently grew almost 4% between 2010 and 2020. I say apparently because I'm not sure the 2020 data point in Wikipedia is the official census figure.

I have no agenda against Tony. He's done his job, and done it pretty well. I doubt many fans think he's the one who will be behind the bench if/when the team is contending. I think the bolded above shows you agree with me. FTR my only agenda is against the rich scumbug earth rapist with the obscene mega yacht — and the Mrs.

It's not about this game.

I can expand on it. The biggest move the team could make to signal to the fans/players and hockey world that there's a commitment to winning next season would be to get an NHL coach in here.

I'd appreciate it if no one mentioned that I revamped the song two and a half years ago and posted it in another thread and apparently forgot I did so. It's my obsession. I'll be fine. Early senility is something, though.
