You think anytime soon is going to be a great time for a 600-person convention, with dozens of additional staff, media members, league officials, looky loos etc.? Kramer says it'll alllll be supervised. Speaking of which, where will the NHL gets the hundreds of Covid-19 tests to make sure the whole party is clean?

It's embarrassing for them. You know the old saw that those with means say to those without? Save for a rainy day. The news told us a while back half the country didn't have anything saved for an emergency. Pull yerself up by yer bootstraps! Turns out a lot of businesses made it about 10 days before getting desperate. The airlines had a banner year in 2019. First ones with their hands out. The NHL is like your "successful" cousin who's trying to get a job at Amazon during the pandemic.

Was there some debate about whether the Sabres showed replays of the hit? It's pretty obvious they replayed it twice in a row (after Umberger left the ice).

Actually, I named it. I don't know if we had a contest or what, but it was my idea. Myspace wasn't the inspiration — cyberspace was.

You had it surrounded. It was the beginning of the 06-07 season. Here's what is probably the first banner SDS used.

It's not funny, but it is. It's a very Curb Your Enthusiasm kind of thing.

OK, "Donny."

Don't play coy with me. Do you know Donny or not!? Are involved in germ warfare????

Hey @New Scotland (NS) did you or do you know a Don Coates? This just occurred to me — SabreSpace was just a rebranding of The Sabres Report message board that launched circa 2002. Here's a list of posters with a copyright date of 2003 that I cropped off. But it's what you get if you look at the forum from late 2002. I used Wayback Machine to find this.

The whonow? Why does it seem like Woody is a more recent arrival and would have been in junior high in 2010? Woody must have changed his handle over the years, or didn't post much in those days.

I just Waybacked it, and that forum on LetsGoSabres.com had 1,600-some posters. A lot more than I remember.

Absolutely right--Miller won that game. Another "facet" worth mentioning: discipline. Two penalties--one for too many men (yet again)--was good in the "old" NHL; in the "new" NHL, it's nearly impossible. Sometimes the way to win is to not make mistakes, and the Sabres did that tonight. You were incredibly coherent back in the day.

To find your first post: Profile See my activity All activity — posts Enter page number (1/919, I entered 919) Eleven, at first I could only go back so far. Step 3 is key.

I was joking around in the How Are You Passing Your Time thread about going back and re-reading all of my posts. Surprisingly, you can do that (except for when the board crashed, I guess). My first post was on November 12, 2005.

Very well said. The major broadcast and cable networks have also aired hour after hour of those White House briefings, where anyone looking for good news can find plenty of inspiration.

I'm rereading all of my SabreSpace posts. Damn, I'm good. I'm almost up to StrabisMiller.

Good for you, Spock. I'm giving people a ton of the benefit of the doubt in their behavior during a pandemic; I am very hesitant to call anyone stupid. I myself am fearful. Wish I had more perspective. I have no doubt that's exactly what will happen, and it'll be a good thing. No offense to our veterans here, but the military salutes have become a bit much. I bet most of the vets will agree with that statement, or will say that salutes are not necessary or wanted in the first place. Especially the ones that are corporate in nature.

Can you put some meat on the bone here? Any details on how what you see as hype is creating problems in the hospitals? Are you talking about "worried well" people who show up in the ER thinking they have Covid-19?

I'm starting to believe that in hockey moreso than in other sports (any other spor?) it comes down to breaks/luck/randomness. It was Briere who mentioned how intimidated/afraid of the Flyers they were and how it took Forsberg banging the puck off Tallinder's outstretched stick, the only thing guarding an empty net in the early moments of Game 1, to make him believe they had a chance. That maybe it was fate. That ***** is real, IMHO. It's very plausibly a totally different series if the Flyers get an early goal and the Sabres get confirmation that they're "supposed" to lose.

When this is all over, when the coronavirus is defeated (post-mass vaccination?), how do y'all feel about a national holiday? VV Day? A day of remembrance, togetherness and celebration and a day to honor healthcare workers, first responders, researchers, anyone who worked in the community during the pandemic. Some combination of Memorial Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day... I see it mainly as a total blowout day.

Hmmm. Not liking your approach here. Where are the problem areas? How can you tell? Not sure what the guidance is where you live, but keep your distance from people, watch where your hands go and keep your hands clean! (Some of us know where your hands have been.) Relating this back to M*A*S*H, as always, the ventilator situation reminds me of the search for an incubator. Thar she blows!

I must have missed that day in Earth Science. I really had no idea that a popcorn kernel could sprout. I'm currently trying to get some lily seeds I gathered at the casino in Sally's Monkey to sprout. They've been in that paper towel for a while, and nothing so far. There hasn't been much sun — I assume you want to put the baggy in a sunny spot.
