Sabres Fan in NS

I think the opposite. I think they will sign Semien and not Ray. Unless he wins the Cy Young then they will break the bank for both.

Thanks, Promo, for getting us started. You are the best Promo The Robot we have. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

And ...

I am feeling nostalgic this morning. I remember dancing all night when this came out. I was 18. Mercy!!

Huge win for Canada last night on the frozen tundra in Edmonton. Canada solidifies itself in spot 3 in this final group competition. One point behind Mexico and US. 2 points up on Panama. Another huge match on Tuesday against Mexico. I am in a tricky situation since I want to boycott this WC, but it looks like Canada may just qualify.

@Thorny is referring to the ESPN nonsense, since he is habitating in The Great White North and we don't have such a thing up here. I believe for all that are interested that this is the early game on HNIC. We can't watch many games up here.

Me thinks this was the best all round game the Sabres have played all year. Yes, I do mean since November of 2020.

You're welcome.

I don't like him as a player for the Sabres and really in general. That said, as a human being I hope that he lives a long and healthy life after this. I really don't care if he ever plays hockey again.

No. Didn't you hear some dude from NS and his buds have closed the border.

I say we close the border to anyone from The Great Satan. Not just now becasue of COVID, but forever and always. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!! While not in the same hatred league as the dastardly due, I really do not like anything about The Great Satan.

The Sabres should have taken him at 8 ... FUCALE!! 😎

That is still the case, but some US boarder towns are doing it for free to encourage people to come.

NS is vindicated ... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/zach-fucale-mooseheads-records-shutout-washington-1.6246593

I don't have my @inkman guide to the new Sabre names yet. Who in blazes is Tommer?

Welcome!! It took you almost 7 years to get up the courage to make your first post. Sent you a beer. Don't be shy we don't bite. Well, not on the first date anyway, although @inkman might ... Wear your sweater proudly, but remember your pants too. That might be a problem.

There is no question that they did race to the bottom, but they were already terrible and a shambles. It's not the same thing, IMHO, as deliberately planning on it for 2+ years. It's the shame of the Sabres, IMHO. It will take a long time for that stench to wear off, if ever.

MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!! This is the game that ends the McDavid vs. John debate ... ... umm, nevermind.

I believe they won those 2 cups because they added Ronnie and Ulf at the deadline in 1991. Super Mario was in and out of the lineup a lot in 1991 and 1992. Jagr and Recchi were both very good players, but rookies in 1991. I am not even sure if Recchi was not traded in 1992, if no he was soon after that. Fact check ... he was part of the Tochett trade. In 1992 they brought in Tochett and our Muel's uncle.

I would make the arguement that they didn't for Mario either, but it was a race to the bottom against NJ, I believe. The Penguins were a shables and the owners did not want to pay anybody. Very close to bankruptcy then too, if not unofficially so. You are spot on that it took almost 10 years for the Penguins to get good again.

Respectfully, disagree.

I don't know if either really did what the Sabres did. Chicago, maybe. Pittsburgh I don't think so for either of their saviors. Anyway, I know the arguements are out there, but the point is tanking doesn't work far more often than it does. And when it doesn't it doesn't in spectacular fashion. Let's agree to not take this any further. It's all water over the bridge at this point. Let's just wallow in our misery.

This has got to be undisputable proof that tanking is the worst possible idea ever. I expect 30 more years of wandering in the desert. Give or take a year, or two.

I remember that day oh so well. A grown man nearing 40 in tears at the news. In just a few weeks it will mark 30 years since the passing of my beloved Freddie. And last May marked the 40 years since the passing of my beloved Bob.

Not my favourite version of that great song. Topper was forced out by that time and was in a bad place with his heroin addiction. Terry is okay on drums and I do like his stage name. By this time the end was coming ... Joe had fixed his teeth and was taking long breaks from Mick and the song writing. I remember that tour it was in 1982 and they were opening for The Who on their farwell tour, which it ended up not being. Pete said after The Clash played this very concert that they were actually very good and he thought they would be the next big thing. I went to see The Clash in a small club in Toronto in 1979 and it was the best concert I had ever been to. I saw them again a few times along the way, including seeing then at the CNE Stadium in The Great Satan on this very tour. CNE Stadium has got to be the worst place for a concert ever. It was terrible, but I love The Clash. So, I went and was right down in front. I left after seeing The Clash and could hear The Who as I walked around wondering if this was the last time I would see The Clash live. It was. It's hard to believe that it's coming up to 20 years since Joe passed on. I suppose that's my complaint, but not really since I have my collection at the ready any time I want. Long live The Clash. The only band that ever mattered.
