Eleven

I like the move up and the pick. It really didn't cost much and the Bills have plenty of depth--they don't have plenty of starters. Hoping for a WR or TE next. Gotta give Allen some targets.

A Nylander for a Nylander.

KBC is never half full of visiting team fans unless it's the Habs or the Leaves, and it's been that way, rain or shine, forever.

How are you and I going to carry on our relationship if we don't look back to the simpler, more loving times, before little Liger was born? There's the rub. The game wasn't close and wasn't likely to get close (without the penalty), so it would have been open season for the Sharks.

Aren't they (the Bruins) already? In any event, I'm out after regular time. I have too much going on tomorrow. Goodnight all!

I'll note that the arena is silent, SILENT, @PASabreFan in a game 7 with the home team up. It's DC, which I've explained before is not a hockey city, but it is SILENT.

Good point.

Everything I saw early mentioned the Sabres and the Sens in the same sentence, so I'm going with an educated guess that it was Martin or his agent, since neither team would report on what the other is doing.

Well, Botterill isn't the one who floated it. I'll blame him if he hires the guy, but I'm not going to blame him for the news of the day.

So going back to "the call" for a minute--I've read a couple of things elsewhere that have expanded my view. What happens if the refs don't give 5 + game to Eakin? You have a situation where a team is down 3-0, with ten minutes left, their captain is out and bleeding from his helmet, in a series where there had been plenty of nastiness on both sides. The refs would have completely lost control. I think you're looking at a Buffalo vs. Ottawa situation there. Since everything I've read indicates that 2 + 10 would not have been allowed, the refs might have saved a few players some headaches (not metaphorically) with that call.

What the players will be doing during video sessions if Martin is hired.

It's not proven, true, but if it were the Sabres in that situation, I'd be screaming for a timeout.

Do you still coach soccer? If there were a sudden and overwhelming momentum shift and you had the ability to take a timeout (I know there are no timeouts in soccer), wouldn't you? You see it in college basketball all the time in that situation.

***** Carolina.

That and a lack of professional distance from Botterill.

Dammit.

If he hires Jacques Martin, he shouldn't last a day longer on the job. Last coaching hire indeed.

Bye, Canada.

Ooh you're right. It's ruined. It's all ruined.

I'm still alive for the 0-for-8.

I don't think it's going to be 12 years, but your great-grandchildren are not going to have a good time. Also, feel free to start an AOC thread if you'd like.

You're a little out of your spot with this. Biden hugged. He didn't "grab 'em by the *****." He didn't cheat on his wives, and he didn't bang porn stars. And he doesn't belong to the party that claims to be the Christian voice in America (by the way, you never addressed that). Benghazi is a non-issue, and I have no idea why you're still on it, and what child rapist? Is this more pizzagate stuff? BUT: AND I MEAN, READ THIS: "Window licker," or any other metaphor/symbol/slang/whatever for the mentally challenged is not acceptable here. Even when referring to Trumpers. I'll shut it down for 48 hours the next time I see it. The next time I see it from YOU, you're done. Are we clear?

Norwich is 6 points clear of Leeds with 2 games to play and a +10 goal differential. Fingers crossed that my Canaries will be back on TV next season!

No, I don't think we would. A twice-divorced serial cheater who "grabs 'em by the *****." And the GOP told me it was the party of Christian morality. This is peak "people don't care anymore." Maybe he's using the "takes one to know one" method of identifying criminals.
