Sabres Fan in NS

Why am I wishing that the summer was over already? It's not even officially started yet.

Weber does not equal __________ (fill in the blank with just about anyone) Not saying you are not right on the $ with your post, but Weber is also playing some of his best playoff hockey ever.

MUST WIN!! GO HABS!!

Salvatore's. Hydrostone Market, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. My friends run it. Great pizza, but not your 'fast food' kind of pizza.

I hate those damn Bruins so much. That's it. That's the post. #dastardly

The OP is now blank in the middle, so what's all the hubbub bub?

He did fight that guy that one time there. Kind of. He did have that scar thing going for him. Kind of.

Perfect playoff hockey game by the Habs and almost as good by the Jets. The Habs will likely play Colorado next, if I am not mistaken. Good luck to them on that. I have the Avs winning the cup, with MacKinnon (!! 😎) as MVP. The PK trade was to Nashville for Weber. PK was then traded (I believe) to NJ. Weber was the best player in the victory over The Great Satan. Sure Price was Priceless too. Both will play big roles (already have) in likely beating the Jets. Watch out against Colorado, though. PK is still a very good player, IMO, but he is not in the same spotlight as he was in the real 'hockey heaven' of Montreal. His style of play leads to a downturn in skill level before it happens to a player like Weber.

They also have that other key to winning in the playoff ... a shutdown D that eats minutes like a machine. Weber is still one of the best. I know you are / were a big PK guy, but that is one of the best trades ever in the HHL. MUST WIN!! GO HABS!! @Ducky, I was only joking about the frozen tundra. Stay cool and hydrated. 35+ is not pleasant atoll.

I believe @MODO Hockey was referring to any coaching experience in the HHL, not HC. Same as above. I believe all three you mentioned had NHL coaching experience before being hired as HC here, but not HC. Not 100% sure about Nolan. I think down the ages, the Sabres hired very few with HC experience. Bowman and Muckler come to mind as two that did. Looking back, if Scotty would have agreed to be coach only and let some other dude be GM we could have had a cup, except that the time frame was dominated by Islander and then Edmonton dynasties. Seems, I was correct. I will take all the applause now. Standing ovation, if you please.

Maybe you guys should take this tete a tete wanna be to DM someplace?

2 stud D is very important. So, I would not trade the pick. I'd pick Power.

After looking at the x-ray images posted by @SDS, I think it best for Eich to retire. Surgery seems very risky and rehabilitation may not get him back to the form he wants to be in.

Lakers is just a dumb name for a team in LA. I get that they moved from Minneehaha, but change it damn it!! Also, the Jazz makes zero sense in Utah.

MacKinnon!! 😎 He is absolutely as advertized. If he is not now he very soon will be the best player in the league, maybe the entire world. Baring great tragedy I expect he will get a cup this year. And ... MUST WIN!! GO HABS!! I really do think that they have a chance against The Peg, as in a chance and not saying they will beat them, but a reasonable good chance ... sorry @Ducky and @Thorny and anyone else out there in the frozen tundra.

*What good is it to be a Ferrari when you are out of gas?* Hey, oh @PASabreFan, you should recognize the above.

Looks like Leaves and Habs. That's awesome.

I am partial mind you, but I really think that The Great Satan sums it up perfectly. In every way.

It's not so much my dislike of the hockey team based in The Great Satan, being The Great Satan is terrible in it's own right, but I am a fan of the hockey team from Montreal. They have been my #2 my whole life.

Seems like someone pissed in Liger's cheerios this morning.

I love how you speak so goodly here, especially the dastardly part ... 😍 The only thing worse, well just as bad, is if someone were to suggest we try to more like the equally dastardly Flyers. @dudacek should know better than to suggest such a dastardly thing as trying to be more like the most dastardly. I really like the Avs, maybe we should try to be more like them? MacKinnon!! 😎

Fair enough. Well then, only the good die young. Papa J's was fantastic. EDIT TO ADD: The original Papa J's burned down, but they are planning / hoping to re-open someplace, or rebuild it.

Either things have changed a lot since I lived in Pittsburgh (early 1990s), or @Eleven did not go to the right places. I agree that right downtown is lacking, so one has to venture out a bit. The strip is fantastic with little shops and cafe's and food places ... small family run places, mostly Italian. The hill district is very nice and way out (not) in Carnegie is the best Italian Rest. I ever had the pleasure of dining in (Papa J's).

MUST WIN!! GO HABS!!

So, just two guys, who I like and are credible, saying that under the CBA the Sabres could void Jack's contract. Nothing from the Sabres. It will never happen.
