Sabres Fan in NS

This is not a thing. Why would some yahoo announce this and not, oh I don't know, the Sabres. And the Sabres are the tightest ship that has ever sailed. There are no leaks, so this is not anything.

I think that at least 2 of those commas need to be periods ...

You will see any number of variations of John, but not Jack from many, well some, would you believe a few, of us. The use of Jackass is exempt, of course. As is Jackie Boy. Why do you regret it? It's one of the best posts you ever posted here.

😎

Yes. He's in Montreal for something or other.

No. That will not happen. Ever.

nfreeman moved many posts that were political and every single post by triumph and somebody else was overtly political, or just plain nuts, that nfreeman would have been here day and night moving / deleting stuff. The thing is there was so much trash in the most recent 25 pages and it was getting worse and worse in general content that I think it had to be moved, even though there was a thread in this club already, which is still here, but not very active. I had hinted that I thought it should be moved and seems like others voiced that too. Anyway, the main board is better without this thread there, IMO.

Problem is that he is often quoted, which ignores your ignore of him, so has that been changed in a recent software update. It was always a problem in the past. For example, when I had you on ignore forever I just gave up and cancelled the ignore just because you were so often quoted. You get my point, eh? 😉 (I am trying to insert that winkie thingie here ... damn phone!!)

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.
