Sabres Fan in NS

I am fading fast and probably won't even make puck drop. My wife told me that Laverne passed away today. I like her and Shirley. Back when TV was harmless. RIP.

And ... Oh, never mind.

I can't find Ligers original post about a new Skinner contract and the cap hit, but it doesn't make sense to me. Skinner's contract is up July 1st, so if we sign him the new contract will count against next year's cap in full, unless I am missing something here. I realose that I am only a CPA, but Liger's statement makes no sense to me.

I love the Heat Miser and the Snow Miser.

Yours is the practical take. I was drifting towards the take ... that is exactly what the coach said about Bergy the other day. It was a joke and, yet again, I have received a message that I should not give up my day job just yet.

Don't panic. MODO won't allow it.

Hence my term for that city.

They didn't call it wildcard back then, but in 1999 the Sabres were the 7th seed in the Prince of Wales, IIRC.

The dreaded 'feeling ill'. Yikes.

I think JBOT is / will be a savvy cap manager, or will have an assistant in place to do that and only that. Every good NHL team has to manage the cap very well, or they won't be good for long.

Maybe he did and the guy now is the new guy? I have no idea. Did you look it up? If it is the same guy it is surprising that the agent is not fired, but ultimately it is on Bergy, or anyone else, to make sure things happen. We all trust those fancy talking lawyers too much. Right Smell, Eleven, Freeman ... (insert winkie-winkie thingie here).

Champions League is pretty good, although they follow the infinate wisdom of FIFA and use the 'draw' system to group teams. Oh well, I tried. Forget it. In answer to your question ... No.

Vinz sighting. Is Linus not even OK to backup? Or is that just to have a second goaler for practice?

What are they thinking, well the old cronies anyway ... 'we never should have allowed expansion in 1967 ... with all these teams we'll never win a cup again' ...

Somehow I am thinking that may not be a good thing. Are all the horses heads accounted for?

Please tell me that you were deperately searching for another Sweede and the only one you could remember was Salming? Good player, but not along the same lines as Potvin, or Lidstrom. (winkie-winkie thingie inserted here). The Orr talk is really not warranted, IMO. Orr changed the game in many ways. I think Potvin, or more likely Lidstrom is a good comparison. That said, I believe that both of those two were more sound defensively than Rasmus will likely turn out to be, although with work that will be developed and who knows. I also believe that he will be better offensively than those two. So, I think what we will see is a very awesome combination of EK and BB. Unless something drastically goes wrong Rasmus will win multiple Norris Trophies and (be still my hart) in line for a Conn Smythe, or two. I really think that in less than 5 years he will be the Sabres best overall player, with Jack being a very close 1A.

Pucker up, Nancy.

Have a nap. We need you, man.

Your arse nailed it this time.

Shout out to our dear friend Yuri. He was a character that's for sure. Stuck to his guns too. Like what he had to say, or not, at least we should commend him for sticking to it. GODD, too. +++++ I think it is so awesome that Weegar has a regular roster spot on an NHL team. Was a good soldier for the Mooseheads on their Memorial Cup run in 2013 (we are hosting this year) and drafted #206, or something like that.

You caught him after the Pomminstein edit, as well.

He is going to the EPL? Cool!

Pomminstein is way up there in SabreSpace awesomeness. Very close to FUCALE!! on the awesome metre. You mom sounds like a lovely woman. We need her desperately whenever we play the dastardly duo. +++++ Thanks to our lovely Doohickie for getting us going. I was thinking about doing it when I was up at 6:00 AM (Halifax time, which is whatever it is whetever you are), but I had a client emergency to deal with and was on site at 5:00 AM (yes, Halifax time) and left my home at 4:00 AM (...). Anyway, NS reprting for duty. Quite peckish, but here for now. I plan to fully participate, I hope, in that greatest of all the great inventions of mankind ... the afternoon nap. I may wake up tomorrow morning. On to the important stuff. This thread has been active for an hour and I have not seen (tee hee) one MUSTWIN!! yet. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!! The Panthers are one of those good teams that seems to elevate their game against the Sabres. I have no fear, thought, as some have expressed, which I do understand. A big 6 - 2 win. Samson with 2 and in a very impressive show of awesomeness ... passes to Eich for the open net hattie. Some other secondary guys will also score. I think Sheary (only one 'n' Conor) is due. Pville too. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

LOL!! Me too. It's up to you guys and gals to figure out what I am mumbling and rambling about.

LOL!! (insert me sticking out my tongue and making a raspberry thingie here)
