Sabres Fan in NS

Don't forget the accountant ... ? Although, most (maybe even you in this case) would lump us in with the nerds.

Our esteemed Smell, whom I assume you are pointing this to, did not say simple-minded, which would be insulting. Being 'simple' does not mean what you seem to think it does. If you don't believe me, just ask my friend Ronnie. He'll tell you.

I'm an accountant and for 15 year have run my own practice. I like it, but am now looking for some part-time 'jobs' at real companies, as I have some time since my friend passed away ... not really up to building it all up again. The image you linked made me remember an ad for a 'Pumping Station Attendent' for Halifax Water. Right in the ad it said ... 'Are you not afraid of rats. How about cramped spaces. How about strong odours. Well, this is the job for you'. Nope. Will. Not. Do. It. They also needed to be one of you, so that eliminated me anyway, but who puts that stuff in an ad. I suppose they have to for full disclosure.

That's not a terrible idea, PA.

Are we surrounded by lawyers in here? Really, hands up if you are not a lawyer. Oh, yeah ... or a doctor.

It looks as if 10 of them are running around in practice, but does that mean some of the wounded are ready to play? I think they said McCabe would be by weeks end.

I get that, but the 4th line was working. Don't mess with what is working. Juggle around the middle six and if that doesn't work sit someone and call someone else up, like Inky said.

The EPL doesn't have a playoff system to decide the champion, though. I think that may be part of the issue / tradition with the NHL. I suppose you just rank 1-16 and let them go ... 1 vs. 16 etc ...

I don't think that Girgs and Larry should be torn apart. Put TT up with Mitts and OK.

What? I have no problem with Wilson, or anyone else that fights, so long as it's a fair fight and no fighter has a distinct advantage over the other. That said, I would prefer a more skilled game, which is what we have now, I think, and very limited fighting. Wilson in a punk, not because he fights, which he rarely does, so far as I know. It's all the cheap shots that hurt people.

Something terrible must be going on with Bergy and / or his family. Thoughts and prayers.

Well that escalated quickly. It's been one of those days ... the hightlight was going to our hottie dentist for a filling. NS back out ..........

I have not watched the game, nor the highlights and just thread the last few posts on this page. So, their guy did something to Skinny and then nothing? That doesn't sound good. Was that just before the 4 goal outburst in the 3rd? Our guys are not good enough, no one is, to take one second off. This is the NHL. I hope they learn something from this. Who's next? Let's get 'em!! GO SABRES!!

That suit is the most awesome. I am fading ... Hold the fort tonight, eh? MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!! NS ooooouuuuuutttttttttt ..........

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).
