Sabres Fan in NS

Woof!! I'm not sure you got the way I drifted, but okay.

Not to make light, but for your sake I hope that they are all bankrobbers and that you will be safe lost in that supermarket.

Man, it's going to be a long and steamy summer.

@Derrico, Thanks for sharing and best wishes to you, my friend.

*this is a press conference, the last thing I want to do is answer a lot of questions* ...

It's Canada Day here, but none of us feel like celebrating. We, as a nation, are finally and hopefully coming to a reconing of our very distasteful and shameful recent past.

It just seems strange to me. Whomever they draft first overall they must feel he is the best player available and will be a very good, at least, contributor to the team and it's future. And the same is true from the players perspective. I suppose the Sabres would want to try to feel out the 'character' of the player, but an interview is the best place for the interviewee to 'fake' that. Same goes for the player finding out more about the Sabres org. I just don't think that much can be learned for the process. It's like a job interview, both sides are trying to find out about the other sides 'hidden' stuff, but in the end it's a gamble on both sides. In my life I have thought that I had a great situation lined up in the interview process and 6 months into it ifound out the opposite and vise-versa.

Why?

This non interview thing means nothing to me. Either Power is the pick, or he isn't. The fact that he has not interviewed with the Sabres really should have nothing to do with it, IMO. Did @Pimlach interview @Eleven? I don't think so.

Wow!! Best wishes to him.

That's my boy!! L'Heureux!! 😎

Goaltending upgrade of Hutton is critical. I like the guy, but he is just not good enough on this Sabre team. A team defense focus is also very important, especially if Jack and Sam are both traded (for the record, again, I don't think either should be traded). I have always felt that it is easier to prevent goals than to score them. We do need to score more goals, as the above will not be enough to get us close to even, especially if Jack and / or Sam are traded.

And Philly. I hate the dastardly duo with a passion that burns bright.

Welcome Stan (is it okay if I call you Stan?)!! Sent you a beer.

I like your picks, but I think that Italy will pull it off against you guys, sorry. I had picked Italy from the start.

Missed it by that much ... England 2 Germany 0 In full time.

The guy is a convicted sexual offender. Story comes out that he did something similar in the past while employed by the Chicago NHL team. Player(s) told people in authority about it and the story was fed up the food chain, when at somepoint it was not further acted upon. Coach leaves the Chicago team after the cup winning season in 2010. Goes on to other employers and same things happen leading to a conviction, or guilty plea. This stinks all the way up in Chicago.

WOW!! That's a huge 'home team' discount.

England and Germany just kicked off the early match. I predict a good and close match ... 2 - 1 Germany in Extra Time.

Damn!! Sticking to my Habs in 6.

The Swiss are through on penalties (5 - 4) in the first major upset of this Euro. They came back from 3 - 1 with goals in the 80th and 90th minutes.

Still 3 - 3 at the end of Extra Time. On to Penalties ... not my favourite way to end a match. I preferred having a sudden death 'golden goal' period of 10 minutes after extra time and then penalties.

Another great match. Still 3 - 3 nearing the half of extra time.

And ... 3 - 3 in stoppage time.

France is showing why they are holders of the WC. Lead 3 - 1 with all goals coming in the second half. 3 -2 now ...
