OK here's the in-between period guy again. And there is either a medical condition or he is on his tenth drink.

This is not necessarily incorrect (neither of us know what the leagues recognized), but it does not point to the Stanley Cup being the most famous trophy in the world, either.

Ah ok!

Is the commenter guy wasted already? (My apologies if he has a disability.)

I understand. But it's not about you, personally. It's about whether the Stanley Cup is the most recognized trophy world-wide, or, in your words, "the most famous trophy in the sporting world" and it isn't. It isn't even close. You can google the others and see why.

Good call. My post was definitely "for starters." The Jules Verne is known worldwide; the Ashes urn is known in every cricketing country (which includes the most populous or second most populous country in the world, depending on whether India surpassed China last month) and etc. etc.

Omigosh Steve Levy looks like a young Rex Ryan with this haircut. Than the Stanley Cup? I'd bet on it. They watch the Super Bowl in lots of countries that don't have hockey. And regardless, the Cup is hardly the most famous trophy in the world, which was the point. I know you like nuance over point, but come on.

Umm...no. Umm...also no. Not even close. You've got the Jules Verne trophy, the Ashes urn, and the Olympic Gold to contend with, just for starters. I also would venture that the Lombardi Trophy is more famous.

Folks who follow this team consistently: Whose spot is Savoie taking and is it a good move for the Amerks right now?

IIRC they said they would turn to that after ground breaks on the stadium.

How reliable is a survey that says the closest public transport to the arena is a 4 minute walk and the closest restaurant is a 2 minute walk?

Sammy's gonna beat the jack out of Jack.

Your last sentence exposes your real intent. Look, I like, maybe even love, the guy, but the team isn't about KO. And it has other vets who can contribute more. This doesn't exactly rank among the Sabres' worst moves in team history, to be sure, but it's not one of the best, either.

This was a bad move. It's not even about the money. It's about the roster spot.

I have so much going on today that I forgot to check in to the game. I always loved Samson. Rooting for him.

Larry Brooks would quote a scientist and then write that the formula for water is H3O. He destroyed his own reputation; his sources didn't.

Invoking Larry Brooks is a good way to ensure that no one reads the rest of the post. He's a quarter-millimeter above Bruce Garrioch on the credibility scale.

Tina Turner is dead. Yet Trea Turner lives. Life can be unfair.

IF that's the case, and it's an if, and IF they can't get a 2023 second (or even third) for his rights by working through his agent, and that's another one, then the right course is to just let August happen.

It was just fine 15 years ago. I can still enjoy hockey in "reg-def."

Not my thing. Caffeine isn't either. Or beer. None of them are lame.

It has NOT been a great playoffs, that's for sure. Probably we need to change up who starts the thread for each round here. OTOH there's a pretty good Law & Order on WE right now.

This is why we love you @inkman. Well, one of the many reasons.

For the love of all good in this world THIS THREAD IS ABOUT JOHNSON. TALK ABOUT MY JOHNSON.
