Filet o' fish. Of course.

Forslund just said the trainers, equipment managers and medical people are a big part of any team. I ask again — why shouldn't Donny Meatballs have his own peeps?

Not a good period for the Buffalo Sabres.

This is like when I used to play my dad at board hockey.

Do the Sabres lead the league in silly goals against?

Joint Pride Day?

Pierre's jacked up! Deploy lazer wand a nanosecond sooner, young Dylan!

It's 3:15.

The Cup one makes me nervous. Damned hockey gods. Oh, you stop, Esposito!

If Terry doesn't trade for Bjornfoot, he is a fool.

I recall that Robert had just been born and Mother and I went out and bought one of those newfangled Tele-Visions. I was on the roof adjusting the antenna when Mother let out a whoop-whoop and excitedly shouted that some skating exhibition was on the gizmo. At first I thought Bobby had bit her nipple again. We watched Ike instead warn us of the military-industrial complex, ate a frozen dinner and went up and started working on Elizabeth.

CNN is able to project that based on early voting and exit polling that all Canadian media talking heads should go to hell.

I was going to say that's a decent compromise, but then I learned it's been 20 years since he was named the top coach in the AHL. All around the organ-eye-zation, you see promise and possibility: Adams, Karmanos, Granato, Dahlin, Cozens, Mittelstadt, Ullmark (and UPL), Borgenbryson and so on. Hell, I'll throw a bone at the Pegulas and say they show promise, too. They could be excellent owners. What's missing in all this? Mentors. Get the right guy to mentor the front office (Rutherford?); this time, get the right vets to show the kids the way — these have to be the right personalities but they also have to be good hockey players who can ensure the young core doesn't continue to play on crummy teams; not sure who can straighten out the Pegs. Parts is parts, and we got parts. Someone has to find the recipe for the breading to make them a tasty nugget. I guess I'm back to Rutherford.

I'm being told that people are saying that all Canadian media talking heads should go to hell (passing go first was said to be an option). Well?

It's been many a moon since I took French (for six years lol), but the attached article from a Montreal newspaper in 1984 seems to confirm that a deal was on the table in 1982. Bowman seems to confirm it.

huh

My hazy memory says Perreault once said, probably after retiring, that it would have been better for him if he'd been traded to Montreal in the late 70s for Lafleur. It's been mentioned over the years that the trade was on the table, but the Nixes knoxed it.

Did you like Ronnie Tulip Bulb?

Is anyone really up for the ***** Leafs celebrating playoff wins on OUR ice? Think Boston would host the Yankees?

No wiggle room for it just being sports? Performance art? Was Bryan Cox on your Xmas card list?

Do you know how many crummy Sabre teams made heroic runs in March/April only to suck again in October? We're so desperate for success, we want to believe this is different. Maybe it is. I should let it go. Donny Meatballs (kinda diggin' that; slide into his DMs) is the next coach. The almost dying, the redemption angle, the fine young man, the first-timer who owes them: he's Pegula People to a tee. Well said. I just hope the decision is made dispassionately well after the glow of whatever this is wears off. And I hope it's made by hockey people and not The Fracker and Mary Anne.

There are areas where the owner/s have the right to be Deciders. Decide this, Pegulas. It shouldn't ever happen. But... they do love them some Leafs fans. Gibby said so.

Aboat that name change. @Brawndo

WHILE infected with Covid, he slipped past an elderly lady in the produce department at Wegman's and licked a bunch of grapes. He KNEW she was going to sample one (or seven) of them. If that's not pure evil, I don't know what is.
