Sabres Fan in NS

Details Tom. Give us all the details. What have you heard? Is it ______________, or is it __________. You have to fill in the blanks, man.

I admit that I have not watched more than a few highlights of him, but he really does seem to be the real deal. I think MacKinnon will be an effective tool in talking with him when it comes to contract negotiations. It very well could lead to another fantastic deal for the Avs and a insanely high, but not crazy pay day for him. I still think MacKinnon is the better player, as he is a centre.

Not to be a pain about this and I understand where you are coming from, but the Leafs are not in competition with the Blue Jays, Raptors and especially the Argos.

Yes. I should have been more clear ... NHL monoploly, which is were the $ is.

My reply was not based on anything other than being silly, since Bogo and Kane were teamates at the time, but thanks for the actual info.

I am this close to dispatching a NS ground and sea search party to Nebraska. Randall is (not) surprisingly MIA.

Bogo?

Southern Ontario, which would include a large area that would be a second team draw area is about 13 million ... probably at least 10 million within an hour of Toronto (not in rush hour). The Great Satan Area has about 6.5 million. So, population is not the problem. Corporate sponsorship is not the problem. The Leaves wanting to maintain their monopoly is the problem.

That is basically what chz said and I am trying to stick to that. The Flyers are 'special' as are the Bruins. So, I will have to restrain myself for that one. When I do them and I do expect that I will at some point, but my work schedule has allowed it and that is likely to change soon, I may not be able to in a timely fashion, I will stick to the more standard thread title stuff and make a first post as I see fittest (is that a word?).

I'm not either and the only that I recall mentioning it was Hoss. The other thing is that chz unofficially warned me about being so flamboyoant in starting the GDT. It threw me a bit, as it seemed to be received well by the masses, in general. It seemed that it helped with the fun aspect. That said, I took her for her word, as I really do appreciate and respect the work she, nfreeman and SDS do here to make this all work. I did not want to do anything that would possibly make the board not as good as they want to see it.

Oh, man. That's right. Sorry, but we can't wait around while you lolygag (?) about as if it's a Sunday afternoon and you are lazing.

LOL!! Your GDT take works for me. It is so very tempting for me to unleash the flamboyant me and start the GDT, but my W/L track record has not been stellar of late. And there were very few logged on when I posted that ... MODO, who I will remind you was on late morning Swedish time, eh ... was one of them. (insert winkie-winkie thingie here)

I like The Cure a lot, but greatest ever? We all know that The Clash was the only band that ever mattered. Therefore, greatest ever. I am well known as a lover and not a fighter, but I will fight anyone on this point. With Queen being a very distinguished 1A+. Completely agree with your take on the RnR Hall of Fame. Of all the Hall of Fames it is the most Hall of Fameish.

GO SAMSON!! We are counting on you to score a goal and assist on another, at least.

I don't read very goodly, but what does this mean? How can you have 15 anythings in the top 10 of anything? (insert winkie - winkie thingie here)

Hey Taro, Glad you got my attempt at humour here. I really thought this would get more play, but one really needs to know what our beloved Eleven does for a living in the real world. Oh, well.

Remember what I told you last time. Enjoy the game.

You know what they say about us Canadians, eh? We love our Beavers. It's out National Animal (I think? Can someone confirm?). Welcome!! Nice to have one of my admirers finally get up enough nerve to post. Don't be shy.

I am an idiot, as per my edit to the Dogs lineup post.

Alex G. (the Ruskie) is still out. OEL is still awesome. That's it.

LOL!! Finally someone listened to my pleading. With Washington coming up a few times and those dastardly so and so's from Bastaan this is really a must win. Congrats on the ending of the night shift. Great start to kick this one off. These guys are very beatable, but lets not do it OT, please. I want to see a big win in every aspect of the game and a full 60 minutes effort. What is the status of Huttsie? MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

Will somebody start the GDT.

Correct on Housley. Both times. +++++ It's game day. Weave, your up. Start the GDT. I already asked MODO, so at this rate who knows how many will have to be merged.

he is leading the league in scoring and has had a fantastic season just prior. He will get over 11, but your point about the Avs is a good one. On the other hand they are building a very good team and I doubt they want to breakup their dynamic duo. On the other other hand MacKinnon signed well below market, although he took a bit longer to blossom into the star that he is and was into his second contract when that happened.
