Sabres Fan in NS

Yup. Or it could be my reason, eh? That Jackie was fired for being a brat.

When you accuse someone of slinging crap you are slinging crap.

I think a few in here need to get #### ... the pressure is intense. Somethings got to give. We have two highly respected posters slinging poop at each other and the rest of us are caught in the middle. Maybe we should set up a gofundme to raise funds so that the owners can retain some of Jackie Boy's salary and we can all be put out of our miseries on this whole saga.

They will develop as a team and learn how to play as a team. Dealing with adversity is very beneficial to anyone's development. They will be put into every situation and will learn to deal with all of it. They will learn what it takes to win in the NHL by not doing it much and what greater effort is required for them to get there as a team. Down the ages this is how it as been done. Even the greatest players need to learn how to win in the NHL.

My main point was the just because they secretly sent 'professionals' back in the day I don't think it should be openly done now. It should be reserved for amateurs. Like the 1980 US team that beat the Soviet pros and then Finland in the final round robin to secure the gold medal.

Not a big list. Power, maybe. The only qualifiers, as far as I know are having sponsors (usually governments) for the teams.

@Sabel79 there is room for you on the Norwich City train.

It started to go downhill for Arsenal when they banished Ozil to Turkey. Good for them. The only EPL side that I hate more is Man U and now CR7 has come home to roost.

This is great news. Best wishes for your quick and full recovery.

The Sabres are not retaining salary to get that pick. They are retaining it to get the additional prospect, or better prospect.

This election is turning very ugly and it is starting to look like the early election call may very well backfire on Trudeau. For the first time in 20 years I am not going to be voting with my heart, but using my head and strategery.

I have not visited this thread since it was rightfully moved off the main board. Looks like that was wise. Did @Eleven ban anyone yet? I think the last few posts would be his justification, but anyway. I will just leave this here ... https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/8/29/israel-offers-covid-booster-vaccine-for-ages-12-and-up I am not saying anything about it.

Oh, man. Just saw this ... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-58379715 RIP Scratch.

It does not matter that the Soviets cheated by sending 'professional' hockey players to every Olympics. They did not win the gold every time.

This was a huge band in my High School days. Good Canadian rockers ... from Halifax, no less. So many great ones to choose from, but I really love ...

Clapton said that JJ Cale was his hero and inspiration ... I love JJ. RIP JJ (yes I know he passed a number of years ago now) He has influenced many ...

I liked it much better when the Olympics were the holy grail of amateur sport. And spare me with the Soviet Union players were not amateurs nonsense.

It did. For fully vaccinated. We can't go down there, as the US boarder is closed to Canadians (land boarder only, I think) which is probably for the best for now.

Just kidding ... You can stay @Buffalonill, but be prepared to get bashed and you may not want to say much anti Bills stuff in this thread. If you can't do that then it is best if you take your non Bills fan stuff somewhere else. You must understand that, right?

Tell me something ... why are you still hanging around a thread that is clearly for Bills fans? Asking for a friend.

I know, but just having some fun. Don't know much about Moose Jaw. Bobcacaygeon is very nice. I have been there and in the Kawartha Lakes area many times in my late teens and early 20s, but have not been in forever. Now Baddeck is absolutely stunning. The 'start and end' of the Cabot Trail and the Highlands. I would spend a lifetime there. It's a darn shame that I have not been more often over the last 20+ years, since it is only about 5 hours away from me. Believe me NS is so beautiful it's hard to pick a 'most beautiful' or favourite place.

If the Bills win the Superbowl he probably won't walk. He'll gladly sign as a backup stud to try to win another one. Maybe he would sign if the Bills get to the SB, but don't win, to exact revenge. If he goes at the end of the season the Bills will have to figure something out, which is what I suspect will happen.

There you go.

Do we have any idea when this meeting took place? I would say it would have to be at least a week ago and probably longer ago. Time for Jackie Boy to hire a new agent and fire the old one (I still think that it's possible that jack was fired by his old agent). Maybe that idiot tweet was right after this meeting, which was about 2 weeks ago, I think. Assuming this meeting happened some days ago everyone is running a very tight ship, if this is the first time it has hit the Twitterverse.
