Sabres Fan in NS

Not sure what went wrong with my quoting you, but yes. They are still not that far off, especially when that other guy comes back down to a realistic level. At the end of the season it will all pretty much level out.

Um ... 3:30 AM this morning.

Speaking of our friend Yuri (Randall mentioned running into him in the randomer thread). The guy trolled the heck out of me, no doubt in an alcohol induced frontal assault, at 3:30 AM. I found it in my mobile email account inbox at 10:00 AM. He said that he is actively cheering for Dahlin to do very well and to get the Sabres into the playoffs. That way his beloved Marner (he was right about him) and the rest of the Leaves can defeat the Sabres 4 more time in the playoff when they meet. This will add to a grand sum of 8 defeats by the Leaves over the Sabres this season. I like Yuri and he and I have exchanged some pleasantries over the time, but this time he has gone too far.

No kidding. Well, at some point you should think about and decide if this is the place you want to work. I have turned down / withdrawn my candidacy for jobs that I wanted, even needed, just because of all the stress and BS. If it is like this before hand when everyone is on their best behviour what would it be like afterwards. On the other hand, dark coming in with the other hand.

That's quite a story Randall. Yuri has told me that the tank forced him out. He has always likes Marner and he has moved on to the Leafs. He has other interesting ties to Toronto now, but I won't share those.

Last I looked (yesterday) Jack was 9th in scoring.

There is nothing wrong with how you handled the situation. Following up is recommended after a reasonable time has passed (that is just how you feel about it), especially if it was open-ended. It would have been good, but not easy, to try to pin down the timing for the next steps at the end of their interview. Asking that final person to poke around may be a bit further than I would have gone, but it's probably not going to blow up on you. It's a very fine line between being seen as keen and being too pushy. I hope this is not the case for you, Inky, but from my experience this often means that some executive's kid needs a job and they want to give it to them. Often this is all but arranged and the company goes through the interview process to make it look good and, maybe, meet some legal requirements. That said, as others have pointed out, this time of year everything is basically shut down. I'll be thinking of you and hope for the best.

This is not surprising, as the 'fans' can't get into a game in Toronto. All the straight-lased suit wearing (hold up, I often wear a suit, so I can say it) corporate types are just there to make deals and entertain each other. I agree Montreal (never been to the new arena, but The Forum was great) fans are fantastic.

Yes. Yes, I do. And their point production, I believe, will end being comparable long-term.

I do not believe that to be the case.

That is not possible. Plain old Leaf fans can't even take over their arena. What in the hell? This I agree with. It's a challenge to the home team fans to up their game. Soccer stadiums always have designated areas for visiting fans. It is one of the most awesome things in European football and I think that MLS is trying to do the same thing.

Orange Tabby ... he will be abl to take care of himself against all your beasts.

Until now. Dahlin is still developing, obviously, but he fits the bill, unless something unforeseen happens. He is a Dman that any team in the league would be willing to build their team around, IMHO. Hey, look who has made bail. Thanks, Eleven for pulling all the strings that needed pulling.

Our neighbourhood (well many of us did) took care of a beautiful stray cat for 20+ years. He had a heated hut that was lined with blankets and straw. He ate very well. He had a great life. Better than some people, sadly. He passed away late October.

Why don't you try to coax it inside?

That's twice what Mr. Pegula paid for the team. Not a bad increase in value there.

For the Sabres I would say so, but I don't think they would be viewed as such outside of Buffalo. Soupy? Maybe. There is not a hard and fast definition, but it is commonly understood that a true franchise dman would be the one you would build your team around, or any team in the league would be willing to do that. I don't think any Sabre Dman ever would be that. Until now that is. I really think that any team would be willing to build around Dahlin.

IMHO, if we are building a real rivalry again let the Leaf fans come to Buffalo. I just hope that the most common result over the years continues and that they leave Buffalo with their heads down, just like the Leaf players. It is too bad that Sabres fans can't make the treck up north, though. No tickets can be had in Toronto. Even your everyday Leaf fan can't get them. That is part of my issues with The Great Satan.

Paging Woody!! Come in Rudy!! Is anyone near the county jail? If so, please look for Woody. He was supposed to be at the game last night. Has anyone seen a report from Woodsie?

Have the Sabres ever had one? Legit question. We have had some very good ones over the years, but a true 'franchise' dman? Housley? Maybe. I think he was gifted offensively, but otherwise flawed. Therefore, not one. Who else?

Gotcha. ?

Oh, that's right we have a nooner coming up on Saturday. Excuse me, while I make some notes for the GDT.

Regular season? I thought Bossy still held that.

Is there another Bale? The only one I know of is the Welsh footballer.

Sorry, I was not clear (not the first time). I meant if he is called up do you think he will play, or be in the press box for the Sabres?
