Sabres Fan in NS

Scooped again. By a matter of seconds. again.

What? They do. Yes, but they still have winter and pretty darn cold.

It was something else, but did he not play forward as a rookie too? maybe my memory has faded over the years?

Is that the 'new feature' that SDS is working so hard on?

That is not his style and all that he has said leads me to think that he would not do that. If there is a reasonalbe price to pay for Duchene, or any other player for that matter, a deal will be made. Again, I expect JBOT will be looking to make those Skinner and ROR type deals in the offseason.

No worries. There really isn't anything that could be said. It is just terrible.

According to Taro, if the letter of the CBA is followed that is the case, but he said that many of the 'talking heads' (really good name for a band, IMO) were saying that 8 was posssible (only for the Sabres) at anytime. I am going by memory on that being what Taro sez. So, better not put any stock in it atol.

I always thought it would be very useful once, as LTS said, you have read enough of a thread, or if by the very title you have no interest in it. I would use it for some of the Off Topic threads that don't interest me. EDIT TO ADD: Just to be clear ... I am not asking that you spend time setting this up, but if it came with the software I would use the feature. That said, it is not hard to read what I want to and then click on the mark site read button.

In an attempt to get this thread back on the rails ... It seems that my 'thingie' thing is becoming a thing. LOL!! ... (insert your favourite 'thingie' here ----->)

The sun is shining that's about it. The whole city, province and country is still in a foul mood. Hopefully this fantastic Friday will change that, at least a little.

Any time that any team plays the team that is by far the best team in the league in their building comes out of it with a tie, they must have been doing a lot of things right. That, or the other team was just playing with them. Maybe a bit of both. I think the ratio last night was probably around 80 / 20.

You are asking the wrong person. I just read and observe the board.

No, not exactly. Not sure when / if. These and Josie are the most recent of long-term contributors that I recall. Losing has contributed to the negativity around here and that is part of the reason for some departures, but not that main reason for others. I hope if they are listening ... we all miss you very much.

Well, he is breathing down Kanesie's neck for the consolation prize at present. He will be paid a lot, but I still say he is not asking for $9M. He knows that he is not worth that and I really believe that he wants to stay in Buffalo. He knows that the Sabres will not pay $9M.

I do like to watch Skinny skate. That's pretty close. Freddie used to say that his role in Queen was to bring ballet to the masses (only half jokingly). I think he pretty much succeeded, so why not hockey ballet?

I am not expecting much. We can't expect to trade our garbage for much of anything at the deadline. I expect any significant Sabre trades will be made in the offseason.

Jeff Skinner and his new contract with the Sabres will be fine. I do not believe that Skinner is asking for $9M.

I am certain that Inky did not want to stir up all this stuff when he started this thread. Anyway, I am actually very pleasantly (that means goodly) surprised by the play of an 18 year old kid in his first NHL season. I expected very good and I think he has been better than very good. Sure, mistakes have been made, but he is extremely sound fundamentally.

I think he is / was in timeout for a while. +++++ JBOT is not wrong. There certainly has been progress and a lot of it. The problem is that the Sabres went on that 10 game win streak and everyone thought they had really turned a corner. Someone posted here (sorry, I can't remember who) that it would have been better had the 10 wins had been more spread out and not in a row. If they had been we would all feel better about the progress made this season. I agree with that. I think is is the correct move not to fire the HC at this point.

There are a number of good candidates at first glance. My wife has been following much more closely than I. The Dems have to figure out which candidate has the best chance of winning back just enough of the key Trump votes in those few key areas of States he won last time. If he runs, I expect he will, that is most likely to be Biden. He is widely liked by both sides. Biden / Harris ticket? Maybe.

This Club is like the Godfather ... you keep dragging me back in. Just kidding. I would join the club on a regular basis, but I feel that I would spend too much time in it. Trudeau is not the darling of the left in Canada and the left in the US should not look to him as a role model, unless they are looking to emulate someone who just tests the wind and then goes with whatever is most popular / adventageous at that time. He definitely is NOT his father. He is the golden child of the youth of Canada. He does back the pipeline and has said that he would spend federal $ to have it built. He, obviously, is trying to appease what little support he has in the West, which is none in Alberta, but fairly strong in BC, where the majority also support the pipeline, IIRC. Thank goodness you folks south of the boarder have come to their senses about it. The pipeline is a terrible idea, unless you are in Alberta. Thank goodness their left-wing (NDP) Premier has stood her ground against it, although she prefers now to transport this terrible grade oil by rail instead, which is a disaster waiting to happen. There is an election coming pretty soon in Alberta and their one-time experiment with an NDP government certainly appears to be a one-off. Our illustrious PM was in Halifax for a vigil for the 7 victims of that horrible fire here a few days ago. He never misses a photo-op, but it was good foe him to come and show support. The whole city, province and county is reeling.

Not only that, but he will certainly come to appreciate puck drop time as he ages. +++++ I expect a huge win tonight. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

When I just saw the thread title in the next unread topic area I was hoping that it was stated by one of dark, X, or Randall.

No, he didn't. It does appear likely to be a typo, though ... with instead of win. Maybe?
