"Thank-you Sabres!" era. Ottawa series, '06. Drury's clutch goal vs. Rangers. GO SABRES!!!

It would have been more costly to lose picks this year in what is arguably the deepest draft in 20 years. We KNOW which players at what positions are there THIS year. The 2015 draft is still just a hazy ball of nothing at this point. GO BILLS!!!

I detect a strong disregard for Watkin's credentials coming out of college. I can't think of one other WR prospect in recent years that matches those credentials coming out. He's a generational talent at the position. The reaction to this trade reminds me a lot of the reaction to the Bennett trade. Of course 27 years after the fact and with the knowledge of how it all turned out will cause people to deny they were against it at the time, but half the city wanted to run Polian out of town for mortgaging the future of a team coming off a 4-12 season and half-way through a strike-shortened season when he made the deal. Fortune favors the bold. I am not the least bit worried about giving up a TOTALLY unknown value at this point in time for the best offensive talent in the draft. Just like I loved getting the best defensive talent in the draft in '87. GO BILLS!!!

It's a mistake to judge history through the prism of modern day societal norms. On the face of things, they were hypocritical. They also constructed a system that has withstood the test of time because, as Jefferson said, ..."it's like a jacket that needs to be let out and taken in at times, depending..." Less and less voices are being heard because of campaign finance issues and a fat cat shouldn't have the right to vote for his reps where he lives, and then buy others where he doesn't.

Can't agree more. When billionaires living in one place, represented by the congressmen and senators of their districts and states, respectively, can contribute to and influence the outcomes of campaigns run by candidates thousands of miles away in places they'll never visit, let alone live in, something is wrong. The Founders must be spinning on spits.

Simply not true. Racism is a learned behavior. Not everyone gets those lessons. Human nature is a lot of things. GO BILLS!!!

Robert Moses should be hung in effigy, even though he's been deceased for a long time, because of the travesty known at the 190. Billions of dollars in prime waterfront property wasted. Wasn't the original plan for the Humboldt Parkway stretch of the Kensington to be underground? They should have done that. Screw it, let's bury it now!

Agree totally. The Skyway gives eyesores a bad name.

Nice to see the term "consistent" used in reference to Grigorenko. Another full year in the A will do him good. Of course, he should have been there all along. GO SABRES!!!

As a world traveler at the time, I was very interested in foreign viewpoints on US policy. Indeed, my job was keenly influenced by these views at times. When you get a chance and if you are so inclined, I'd be interested in your ideas on what the US could/should have done in the former Yugoslavia and the surrounding region.

Just to be clear, I don't know enough about any of these prospects to know one way or the other, so I don't have a preference. I just thought TM's previous comments about LD were telling. It's my understanding that Draisaitl is a puck possession type of centerman with good vision, which seems like just what this team is lacking more than anything. In Murray I trust. Don't have any other choice. GO SABRES!!!

2 down, 6 to go. GO SABRES!!!

Good point. I think he really likes Draisaitl for some reason. Big, strong C, hard to knock off the puck with superior vision and playmaking skills. And at our most critical position of need to boot. GO BILLS!!!

You may breath a little easier as he only has to get them to the WC finals (and play 50% of the first two rounds). So it's 1 down, 7 to go. GO SABRES!!!

You sucked me in once regarding this topic and, while I'm glad I could amuse you last time, I'm not gonna be the organ grinder's monkey on this one. That's cool. I'm out.

Just assumed people would know I was being totally sarcastic. Sorry that wasn't clear. Thanks for getting my back here, Shrader. Much appreciated. It's easy get your tit in a ringer around here sometimes. GO SABRES!!!

I didn't say that it wasn't. Just wondering why GoDD felt the need to interject personal moral feelings on a subject that is NOT related to the gun control issue. Seems like another conflation. Morality cannot be legislated, anyway.

According to the law in the United States, abortion hasn't killed a single person since it was legalized. Why are you seemingly seeking to inject your personal moral feelings on that issue in a discussion about gun control?

The reason we invaded Iraq was because of Saddam Hussein's insistence on tying oil sales to the Euro. Petrodollar warfare is a very real thing. Simply put, the United States and Great Britain will NEVER let petroleum be tagged to ANY other currency. It's been like that for over a hundred years. Pretty much since BP made their first big discoveries in Persia and shifted their energy strategies from coal to oil.

Another homesick Euro-pu$$y. I wonder how much Leino's experience influenced his feelings about the organization. Compare this to Girgs, a European that embraces the challenge. Sure, he's been in the States longer and has had more of a chance to get acclimated, but still. Maybe Teppo can calm his Finnish-a$$ down before he has a full-blown panic attack. Would suck to lose that high a pick before he had a chance. GO BILLS!!!

No, we got rid of the jocular, levity filled Weber and got back the suddenly serious Weber. GO SABRES!!!

Sorry X, but Weber's statement rings hollow to me. I agree with everything you said, though. GO SABRES!!!

That is a loser's comment if I ever heard one. Oh, NOW you're gonna get serious? Really? Ooooh, watch out Mike Weber is gonna get serious about being a hockey player now. Laughable. I doubt Weber even makes the squad. GO SABRES!!!

See, now that, right there, is funny stuff. Can't get this comedy anywhere else. GO SABRES!!!

can someone tell me what's up with back to back to back games? What other pro league has teams play on three consecutive nights? GO SABRES!!!
