Sabres Fan in NS

Sorry, my pager needs a tuneup. The origin of The Great Satan was a morning talk radio show host years ago here in Halifax. I have been carrying on that great tradition for years after he moved on. Suffice to say that the whole country of Canada, maybe the whole world and the world beyond believe that Toronto is so terrible in every way that we all call it that. I have lived there and can say that it is the most terrible place ever.

I am sure that @EichSnipe and all the rest of the folks residing in the great city of CBus appreciate the advance warning.

Is that because it rhymes with ...

How come @dudacek and @me are not on that list? Neither of us a playing incogneto. That said, the screen shot above tells us all we need to know. We are in the dog days.

And you call yourself a Sabre fan ... (insert winkie-winkie thingie here) How could you not know the great Ric Seiling? The guy the Sabres drafted giving the NYI the chance to take that bum Mike Bossy with the next pick ... (inset that just kill me now thingie here)

If you edit your opening post you can also edit the title from there. @GASabresIUFAN was so excited about the contract that he forgot all about this thread. The two threads are pretty much the same discussion and could be mereged. It is actually pretty confusing to have both going. That said, I confuse very easily.

Hello, hello. Testing 1 - 2 - 3. Is this thing on? Can you hear me now? While it pales in comparison to many much more worthy complaints ... It is starting to really look like my lovely bride and I are too old for this and may have bitten off a bit more than we can chew. In the end things will work out fine ... we hope. On top of my wife's othe chronic health issues we have found out (the hard way) that she has allergies to Birch pollen, which have manifested themselves in not the usual way. Who knew? We had not even thought of anthing like this being a thing. Our new lot is so close to the ocean that the one type of tree that grows really well is Birch.

Very reasonable. I actually thought it would be for a bit more. Why only 1 year?

@TrueBlueGED and @GASabresIUFAN, can you two just kiss and make up already, eh? It's been a long summer and it's going to get longer.

LOL ... many versions of Pominville sighted, especially @... very special adaptation.

@chileanseabass is many things, but he is certainly not ill tempered. Yup.

If you can come for a second time from Europe I should make more of an effort to come from not quite as far flung Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

@shrader, how young are you that you don't know that KAOS is the International Organization Of Evil?

You spelled KAOS wrong.

I like your new avatar, I think. What shade is the blue? It looks great, but the blue thing ... For the record, I don't really care what colour the uniforms are, so long as the players wearing them put in a good effort and start to win. That's all I ask.

@PerreaultForever, maybe it's just me and it has been many times just me, but I don't think that your new avatar will sit well with many female and male posters here, myself included ... +++++ To the matter at hand ... It is early to tell for sure, but IMO JBOTT started from less than zero, as he deemed his version of the Sabres would be pretty much the exact opposite of Murray's version. He deemed that he had to undue most of what Murray did and start over, so this has gained him condsiderable time for me anyway. Is this his third offseason? I can't remember. Either way, for me he has this coming season and the next before I really start to think about it.

@PASabreFan, @Taro T, @Weave, @Eleven ,,, he never kisses and tells, so I'm not sure about him and @me are all around the same age, which is old. So, maybe our thoughts on what journalist and journalism means is a bit different than some of the younger posters. Anyway, whatever the young lady is going to be doing, good for her. It's a big career move (I would think) in her field, so I wish her the best. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

Callahan looks like it (I can't remember was he not playing at the time?). Hossa, I don't think is the same thing. And the other are not likely, as the rules behind this nonsense are going to change in the next CBA, that I agree with you on. I think that both of them in Minny will finish their contracts.

He's Canadian, eh.

Well, the way the Leaves are allowed to manipulate it does. That's for sure. I don't know for sure, but I can't recall any other team pulling this kind of blantant shenanigans. Only in The Great Satan will this be a thing.

In my best voice of the hearing impaired car thief in Death Wish (I forget which one) ... what? ... what?

I forget who said it first, but my favourite and most appropriate from my playing days was ... 'my handicap is my swing'.

I seem to recall watching the staged footage in the school gym on a big TV on a huge stand, but since in was July I must remember a later fake landing. An even more obscure (by clouds) memory is of sitting in the neighbours basement watching a staged moon landing, so maybe that was this one.

Yes. If one can believe the reports. I believe the Sabres had made a fantastic offer, but he decided to go 'home' instead. He was UFA at the time and Pittsburgh was not going to re-sign him.

@jsb, why the confusion thingie? Mick Jones and Joe Strummer worked together on a number of the songs on the BAD second album. V Thirteen was only released (as far as I know) by BAD. EDIT TO ADD: With so many of the songs on the 10 Upping Street album written by Jones and Strummer I often think of it as an unofficial Clash final album. Maybe @Sabel79 could back me up on this?
