Sabres Fan in NS

I am not against anyone drinking alcohol, so long as it's in moderation and you don't drive home. I stopped maybe 25 years ago, just didn't enjoy it anymore. The only time that I would take a drink would be with good friends in Croatia and Bosnia when we were there and then only one. People would just stare and wonder when I told them. Then I just started telling them it was against my religion, which it is. That helped, as it was a learning moment for them.

What's the deal with the brick wall? That net thing of yours will not work, sorry.

WOW!! Sid, the kid from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, is pulling double duty in the swamp.

I think JBOT would be reluctant to include Mitts in any deal. Replace Mitts with __________ (?? - not sure who) and JBOT would be more inclined to do it. Maybe a not lotto protected first in the 2020 draft, if we have a first in 2020 and a mid-level prospect.

I would not and I don't think JBOT would either. It would be creating another big weakness on wing, especially when there a surplus of D.

Friedman is an idiot.

That's quite a list. Some good tunes in there.

What? Whater?

MacKinnon!!

Is this just your eye test results, or do have some fancy stat data to back this up?

I really think that @North Buffalo was just messing with you.

Soup Nazi sighting!!

Beach. +++++ Sabres ... Gilbert11, Lafontaine and Mogilny (in large part for the drama of his defection) Non-Sabres ... Super Mario, Sakic and Stevie Y. Least liked ... Millbury, Terry O and that punk Cashman (a theme) Special NS category ... Most Loathed ... no surprise - Brad friggin' Park.

I seem to remember several poster here wanting the Sabres to sign him back then. On the other hand, my memory is very far from good, so I may have that all wrong and it was some other guy.

In that case, please see below ... On another note. Your ski adventure sounds fantastic.

The only thing hotter than Agent 86's smokin' red 1965 Sunbeam Tiger in the original Get Smart TV show was the more smokin' hotter Agent 99.

1987 Mustang. Black, 5 speed. I loved it. My girlfriend at the time hated it. Not too long after that she still hated it, but accepted my bended knee proposal anyway. I had it for 10 years until it just went to Mustang heaven with very short notice.

Meanwhile, the Raptors have replaced (?) KL with some guy. They are also going the see if they can replicate the FreddieVan lightning in a bottle by signing some undrafted kid that impressed in the few minutes he played in game 1 of the summer league. Or so I'm told.

Are you posting from the great beyond? What's it like? I bet it's real hot, eh? Seriously, though, there is still time, no?

This has been reported several pages ago.

So many 'known' veteran players signing for a million, or less. What is the veteran minimum now?

I wonder why Rasmus didn't shoot himself? It looked like he was in the sweet spot of the ice.

Is it just me, or is that new Jeep really stupid looking. It looks way out of proportion. Like Tazzy.

My wife and I have several 'rules' that we have formulated over the years, not for each other. The biggest one is we never answer the door bell, or knock, ever. And we don't look out to see who it is. We don't want to risk being snout to snout with the snout that we are ignoring. Words to live by, I say.

Heavy, heavy stuff in here. Will keep all in my thoughts and prayers. +++++ Not real heavy, but ... They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, well maybe. I really miss my wife. She is setting up the new house, while I am (mostly) camped at the old house ... working and fixing stuff and coordinating work crews to address the stuff I can't do, or don't have time for. Two houses is not easy in many ways.
