Sabres Fan in NS

More Bosnian coffee ..

Best pure goal scorer of his era. There may have been better, but the league was different in the 60s, 70s and early 80s. Mike Bossy probably would be at 1,000 if he played now and for 20 years like Ovi.

None. I will trot out the estimed @Eleven's mantra down the ages of the past 15 years - it's the roster.

And a happy 26th B-Day to our very own 6K. We hardly knew ya .. long time ago when you was fab.

No.

Time for my annual rant. I am not a fan of DST and the spring forward nonsense. Give me ST year-round or give me death.

This is a good deal for both, especially if he can stay healthy.

This is a fair deal for both. Has it been confirmed that he said that he wanted to stay?

Sorry, but I think I only recognize half of those names. Who are these guys?

Whatever ...

Maybe this insanity will work?

WOOF !!

Welcome back, my friend, to the show that never ends ... So glad you could attend, come inside, come inside ...

Well, that was fun.

Ruff does not coach that way. Never has. So, I don't think so. I think it's just happening. Perhaps the other teams are taking the Sabres too lightly in recent games?

I live in Halifax - the birthplace of Crosby, MacKinnon and Marchand (we don't brag too much about him .. 😉). I can assure you that no one here gives a fiddler's fart about 2010. 1972 was the height of the cold war, so that was a bit different, but similar to today in a way.

I think Mitch Marner should have been the pick instead of John in 2015. Our long lost friend Yuri was right all those years ago. He made beauty passes on the two most important goals for Canada. Probably others - he is quietly on my top 5 player list in the NHL. Our Prime Minister summed it up nicely on Twitter. He has 2 weeks left in the job so he has nothing to lose.

True. Especially since it seems that many do not grasp the concept. Think old style opera and Jaws and Star Wars (sorry, Freddie @Stoner made me do it).

She knew here bears. Good thing it looks to be a Grizzle. If not that could have turned out differently. To your point - the Sabres don't even scream a bit. And run away a lot sooner.

No.

This is very true in the sense that there is much more meaning when you are playing for your country and not your pay.

The fights were awesome.

I have 'loved' the Sabres since day one. That said, in recent years I have moved from wanting nothing more than a Sabre cup and a Bills Super Bowl win to having them as a background distraction to my everyday existance. I too am richly blessed, except in one regard - my wife's chronic health issues that we have been dealing with our entire time together, which is almost 40 years now. That's real love.

His play and points and everything else didn't matter atoll. The fans, mostly his countrymen and countrywomen, voted for him and voted often. That is the only reason why he made it. There may have been more deserving Sabres (I have no idea), a fan voted in guy from that particular Sabre team meant that there were going to be no other Sabre invited.

Everybody in Latvia voted for him and a handful of people in Western New York and a sprinkling in the Greater Satan Area and me in NS and that's about it.
