Sabres Fan in NS

No jinx, my friend. Both the Sabres and Blues uniforms are blue and gold. It's just Taro giving us another example of why he, too, has not yet given up his day job.

BANNED!!

They make puppies so darn cute that you don't even mind them pooping everywhere. Awesome. Congrats.

Are those the actual game pairings? I don't think so. Pilot should and is not a top pairing guy.

With the holidays I think it is Wednesday, so it is entirely possible that I will post a complaint in the Friday thread tomorrow, assuming it is open ... BOOM!! Not much of a complaint, but it's all I have for now.

Terrible. I hate what has become of this world.

You're gonna make Inky blush with that kind of talk.

I hear you about employees and them not even showing up for interviews, but what about employers? Are they doing it now too, just because? Stop the planet!! I want to get off.

Not to mention the mumified Jay Bouw... (what's his name). Never a Sabre (yet), but still 100 years old, eh? Some positive waves you have going there, eh?

Did you see my edit ... LOL!!

Is 'Ghosting' a thing for hiring managers? Asking for a friend. My wife told me that the trend now is to 'Ghost' a friend and just ignore them and not even tell them that you are doing it. I had an interview in early December and they expected to move to the next step prior to Christmas. Nothing. It is a big (the biggest) bank and things move very slowly. The hiring manage was going to talk with other departments to see about best fit. It's a pert-time job that I am over qualified for, but I am easing into retirement / sale of my accounting practice and just want to have a steady part-time paycheque. So, what do you guys and gals think? Will I hear anything (either way), or not?

Thanks, Andrew, for getting us off and running. I like ROR, but he will be a great big loser tonight, along with the rest of his team that will be singing The Blues once Eich and the guys are finished with them. Hatter for KO and a SO for Huttsie, just to keep pace with Lenus. MUST WIN!!

Why is there even a debate. The first season was 1970/71, so the 50th will be 2020/21. The Vancouver folks are just, so, I don't know, Canadian?

LOL!! Perfect.

When I was setting my alarm clock last night there was a hockey game on the radio station that I use to set the volume for my Stones CD to play at tin the AM ... the more exausted I am the more I 'pump up the volumn'. Anyway, I'm thinking hockey at Christmas time? Oh, yeah, this thing. Yawn. Finland will win it, IMO.

I encourage everyone to watch the video that WildCard posted ^^^^^ One of the best stories ever.

I just saw that Ozil was taken off. What a joke that Arsenal squad is. Take off one of the best set up men in the game since no one could get him the ball. That is like benching Eich because Ramsii could not pass him the puck.

A shout out to that ultimate Gunner fan ... Sue / Yuri ... LOL!! Is Ozil playing? +++++ Man C. ........ LOL!! LIVERPOOL!! And Everton with a big win.

That was terrible.

Both of those suits are just plain ol' awesome.

Make us proud, Punch. You know the rest ...

His strengths may not deminish as much as a different style player when he hits 30, or 32. I think that if he signs with the Sabres, and I think that he will, 8 years is a given. If we take that 'super secret source' as real (I don't) then Skinner is asking for 9 - 9.5 to start. IMO, Skinner will not get that amount from any team and I will believe the reports that he wants to stay in Buffalo ... 8 years ... $64 million.

Me too.

I may to watch my favourite Christmas Classic just to counter balance the inbalance in here ... Die Hard.
