Sabres Fan in NS

Is there a way you can post a link? I'd like to hear that.

Thank you. Yes. It has been some time, but still a big void. The circumstances of his passing (while travelling) are making it difficult to come to grips with.

Damn!! Another dose of reality. Thoughts and prayers sent your way.

MacKinnon is one of the most down to earth people that I have ever met (a few occasions and only briefly), so based on that very small sample size I do not hink he would have an issue. Avs management using a perception that he does to some kind of negotiating advantage with that other guy? Yup, that I can see. Is Sakic still running that show? He would not put up with this kind of nonsense, IMO.

I think Rhino is one of the most underpaid players in the NHL. Yup. How 'bout them (Big) Apples?

My wife and I are filing in as babysitters tonight. Not sure if this is the right thread, or not.

I remember Joe Stummer being asked how he felt when Rolling Stone Magazine (I think it was RS) voted London Calling the top album of the 1980s. His totally awesome reply ... 'I thought it came out in 1979'. Totally Joe. Love Joe. London Calling is a a masterpiece, but IMO, not even their best work. Man, coming up to 40 years ago. I had just turned 15 a few month prior to the release. I have to say that London Calling changed my life.

The MacKinnon contract is no issue. It's that other guy. You know the leading scorer in the NHL guy.

What? Never heard of it.

It's good that 'they' did not confiscate your phone yet. Make sure you make that one call count. I suggest you call Eleven. It worked for Cousin Oliver that one time.

With Robert Smith being a blending of Dracula and Edward Scissor Hands they should never be labelled a 'pop' band. A very distict sound that pretty much defies pigeon holing. Very good live shows, at least in the 80's when I saw them.

Is that the latest remedy for the dreaded athlete's foot?

Limited only in the sense that you are very focused on your favourite team and some on the Eastern Conference (and not to go down that rabbit hole again, but I have always hated the East and West nonsense ... the NHL conferences shall always be Campbell and Prince of Wales) since that is where they play.

I like this guy. So, there you have it.

That was great. I feel like I have put in some overtime on this game day thingie. I'm beat. NS out.

Dude?

I feel so bad for him. He was a good soldier and no one deserves to be booed by the home crowd and to hear their own fans cheer for losing. Shameful.

I am late for duty in the GDT because I had to look into this a bit more, as something was not sitting just right, eh. Turns out you may be onto something here. The CBS execs had their PR types come up with something to hype the next greatest band they just signed. So, The Clash were just hitting their prime. The CBC PR types came up with ... 'the only band that matters'. Sometime after the ultimate demise of the band (IMO, they should have disbanded in 1983 and not fired Mick and Topper) in 1985 ... 2 years too late, but ... Someone came up with ... 'the only band that ever mattered' , which I like a lot and only could have started post Clash, right? I have no clear indication who started it. It may have been Joe, but as far as I know he never owned it. It may have been the PR people at CBS, since the band was still under contract and there was more $ to be made even after they disbanded. 'Complete Control' is absolutely spot on in so many ways. One of my favourites, but then again, they all are.

CASEY!! SKINNY!! (some Dog) THAT OTHER GUY!! This scoring summary brought to you by NS.

This next musical ditty goes out to my friend, chz.

NS reporting for duty. Has the game started yet?

I hear you. Cut the Crap is NOT a Clash album. My Clash includes Mick and Topper. Terry in a pinch, but greatly prefer the drum work of Topper.

You are banned from this thread, sunshine, or something like that?

Not so, my friend. It was someone at their record label (CBS) that came up with it. Joe was actually very upset about it, as were Mick and Paul. They would not have been upset if they had not sold their souls, but they desperately needed to get their message to the masses. Not to mention, their weasel of a manager (Bernie Rhodes, of The Specials *Gangsters* infamy) had to keep up with that other weasel Malcolm McLaren who just got the Pistols signed to a record deal.

Which one of you yahoo's is robo calling me from North Carolina. Office and cell. I really think some Canes fans are trolling me big time. +++++ Hey Boyes, That is one skinny foot you have there and hairy toes.
