... and I still don't care.

Labcorp.

I like watching sports way more than I like talking about them. I ***** hate summer.

It's the world in general. Self absorbed douchebags. Everybody is so wrapped up in their own stupid little world that they don't pay attention to anything that is happening outside of their own heads. Here in Jersey, and I'm not making this up, people will just stop their car, no blinker, no flashers, nothing, right in the middle of the street or intersection. It happens almost every single day. Blows my mind. If you are lost , pull over.

You can go pretty far on a tank of gas these days. Finger Lakes. Georgian Bay. Long Beach. Allegheny. Delaware River. Lake Simcoe. 1000 Islands. That’s just the start of the list. So much to do.

Confusing times these are.

Balls

Me too. Still think that not re-signing Jamie McGinn was a mistake.

These are truly confusing times.

Am I correct in thinking that there is no change from last year in how to watch the NHL? I haven't really been paying attention.

K Has nothing to do with the point being made. The Sabres have tricked this fanbase into believing that the future is more important than the present. And it’s been going on for almost 2 decades.

These are confusing times.

It’s not new. There”s just no place for a 40 goal scorer on the Buffalo Sabres. Remember when people didn’t want to “mortgage the future” for Ilya Kovalchuk. You know, the future that had him taking the Devils to the SCF, and the Sabres to,… well… JFC… And just like with the Bruins, I’ll enjoy the demise of the Penguins when it actually happens.

I’m pretty sure that both sides of thing can agree that this is the make or break year. No playoffs, you gotta go.

What good would getting a goalie have done with the roster we had before last season? I mean, unless you wanted to ruin his love for the game, as well.

Jerk.

While I do agree with this, I will say that before KA took over, I hated this team. I was only watching out of habit and pretty much didn’t like a single player on the team (with exceptions, of course.) I couldn’t stand anything about them, coach, GM, owner, to say nothing of the bafflingly awful hockey they were playing. I was kinda hoping that they would move, so I could just watch hockey for hockey’s sake. I like this team now. I want them to win. I like KA and he is the reason. (I know, the last line should probably be in the other thread,… maybe the entire post. We live in a confusing time.)

Yep. This is my last visit to this thread. We get it. Goaltending. Even though he has drafted/picked up/traded for several, including one of the best prospects in the league at the position. All to no avail, yet. But because he didn't go to the magical, mythical land where all the spare starting veteran goalies grow and pluck one off the branch, he is a failure.

Why would anyone go see it in the first place? Oppenheimer was fantastic.

Just because you keep saying this doesn’t make it true.

I honestly can’t believe that after 15 years,… sorry, I had to swallow down some vomit,… we are still basically saying we just have to wait for our core to develop.

Pedestrian.

Wow. This harkens back to the "Multiple Stanley Cups" speech. I think you need to slow your roll with the whole "sustained success" stuff. Can we at least wait until we get some,… any success, before we start anointing them? I only need for them to make it to A playoff appearance (yes, that's how low my threshold is) in order for me to be excited. We'll all just have to wait to find out if a single thing you wrote is actually true. At least we all, seemingly, have a reason to be optimistic.

My first weekend of the summer with zero plans,… and it’s not a thousand degrees outside! I may actually get out on the kayak tomorrow. I even hope it rains so there are fewer people out there.
