What is it you want me to say? I'm not playing this game of semantics...........

Did we really need to bring racism against blacks into this?

And who kill us? The people or the terrorists? You're both putting words in my mouth..................

I'm sorry I'm annoying to you. It's annoying to me that some people just can't get the hint. How am I treating generations of different people as one entity?

Why do we need to come up with ways to make them better? Does that make any sense to you, finding ways to stop marginalizing them so they don't kill us?

So you sarcastically deny my assumption of what you said, and then follow it up with exactly what I thougt you said. I don't get it.

Age shouldn't matter. They're indoctrinating these kids as soon as they're old enough to speak.

You're right, we need to sit down and reason with them.

Not a big fan, he's very cookie-cutterish.

I said before the game, wouldn't it be great to see it come down to the last drive only to see Fitz get picked off........... for old times' sake? :D That was one of the most entertaining games I've seen all year. Why? Because the refs kept the flags in their pocket and let them play! They saved the penalties for only the most blatant offenses.

Just got finished watching the Bills game after going to the Sabres game. Somehow I managed to get home without hearing any updates of the football game. So without really reading this thread yet, here's my observations. -Yes it's important that kids get involved in hockey, attend games, etc...... but tonight it felt like I was at a damn elementary school. I really miss the days when hockey was somewhat of adult entertainment. -Panthers and Sabres fans alike were more concerned about their damn phones than they were the game. If the lights went out, the place could have been illuminated by all the phone screens. It looked like a halftime show where they hand out light sticks to all the spectators. -I really wish I knew why Panthers-Sabres games are always duller than a butter knife. -Sabres got away with one tonight. They were slow and sloppy with the puck. They were fortunate to play a team in a skid. The Panthers did what they always do, control the perimeter but never have somebody with enough balls to plant themselves in front of the net. -Sabres D did an excellent job clearing out the front, Leenus had a clear view on many shots from the outside. -O'Reilly continues to show us why he needs to be considered one of the best all-around players in the NHL. Even when he doesn't contribute offensively, he's always doing something else to help. -Franson had one of his better games. -Risto found a way to be around the puck the entire game, whether it was defensively or getting in on the offense. He doesn't look out of place at all with his newfound responsibilities. -Eichel...................meh. -Ullmark looked smooth, very few rebounds (despite the shots on goal) and he had to make a bunch of real quick saves that he made look easy. It's going to be interesting to see what happens when Lehner comes back. -I still don't understand where the Gionta criticism comes from, he was the best player on the ice tonight. This is the 2nd game I've seen him live and he was one of the better players on the ice last game. I think part of the reason people think he's slow and behind the play when they take the puck up ice is because he gets involved deep behind the net, helping out the defense when it's needed. I know it's popular to make him the whipping boy because he's the old man of the group, but he's doing more away from the camera than you might think. -I don't think goals should be called back for minor goaltender interference that didn't really affect the play. With that said, I've seen less contact made in goals that were disallowed after a challenge. -Panthers lost a typical game of a team in a skid, Sabres got two points when they shouldn't have. It makes up for the Pittsburgh game they should have won.

This was pretty funny from the other night.

I didn't understand the hype either. I was relieved when he took the Leaves job becuase I think Bylsma is a much better coach.

I hear ya. Sometimes things just get stale and it's time to move on. I think I've got a broken bone in my wrist from taking a dive on my bike a few weeks ago. Now I don't feel so bad. Hope you two get through it as painlessly as possible, that doesn't sound like fun.

24GP 15-6-0 .939 SV% Last seven: 7-0 .960 SV% Time to put an end to this!

Maybe Dan just isn't that good and he hasn't improved enough. Personally, I thnk he's pretty bad.

I don't think Stamkos is worth $8mil/yr much less $12mil/yr. Tampa is a soft, soft team. Last year's playoffs was on the soft side, very unphysical after 1st round compared to recent years. Who knows, that might be the trend. If not, and we get another physical playoffs, Tampa isn't going anywhere. Like Blue said, he is very one-dimensional. In his career his GPG average in the playoffs is almost half the regular season (.557 vs. .313) We just spent three years of hell building a team for the future, now we have a centerpiece. No way I'm even dishing out $8mil/yr for a complimentary piece that disappears in the playoffs. (Relatively speaking of course)

What the hell?

I think Craig Anderson is going to singlehandedly ruin my entire fantasy week in one night.

"Kucher, Kucherov........... whatever his name is"............................... I see what you did there.

On the ice too.

Brian Engblom............... shutup, SHUTUP, SHUTUP!!!! Just stop talking already!!@!@#!@#!@#!

Pretty cool, General Raymond Odierno gave the pre-game speech to the Panthers tonight.

Seems to be the "experienced" veterans taking the majority of stupid penalties this year.
