Sabres Fan in NS

Give me the Sabres in the final (yes, no S) or give me death. Well, not really. Being a Canuck I have to go with Edmonton here. I don't like Southern US cities winning the cup - they can have their Cusps. That said, I would not be upset if Samson got his cup. Edmonton is a great story of last to the cup final. Just look at what a coaching change in season can bring. Imagine if .............

This is a great thread. Thanks, Bob. The last few posts have me thinking that it's going to be a very long summer and it's not even started yet.

Maybe the ad campain for Clan MacGregor included samples ?? My brother who was stationed at US Army base in NF NY during his flight training used to bring me many of the Clan MacGregor back acrost the boarder with him. That was many lives ago and the nicest thing that jackass ever did for me.

And ... who ??

No camp fires allowed here now, so I will keep this tid-bit in my back pocket and put away the blow torch.

I'm not @Taro T, but sometimes I play one on TV ... my answer is YES !!

Ho hum !!

So, is this a 'no' to the poll question ?? Also, I bet dollars to donuts that you held that clementine (from Spain or Turkey or Morocco, right !!) in your right hand and peeled with your left ??

Man C looks to win a fourth straight title and 5th in 6 years, or something like that. Arsenal is in second, but within easy striking distance on the final match day of the season. Both sides are just terrible examples of what English top football has become. The EPL is so predictable these days with rich oil $ from the Gulf fueling the top sides. Terrible. At least there may be some fireworks in the offsesaon with Man C under scrutiny. My bet is that it will be all washed away. The EPL loves their profits over all else. There is no way I see City being relegated. Maybe fined. Norwich City narrowly missed being promoted, which is probably best. They are not good enough / rich enough to make any noise in EPL whenever they have been promoted.

So, is that a 'no' to the poll question ??

This is exactly right. Both are going to test the FA market, which does not mean they will be leaving the Sabres. Although, I do think that VO said he planned to play in Europe. That would be very likely, I think. Maybe Girgs too.

Shoot da puck !! Am I doing this right, @Shoot da Puck ??

All the talk of LHD versus RHD has me thinking. I am taking an informal poll .. should this be it's own thread ? And if so, should that thread have a poll ? So, I am right handed, but find that I do some things where my left hand becomes the dominant hand and I hold with my right hand (insert winkie thingie here). What do you say guys? And dolls too, of course ... How do you hold and peel an orange ?? A banana ?? ...

He was great at what he did. 57 is way too young.

Who ??

No.

Happy Birthday Zack Benson. All of 19 years old today. Can't buy a beer in NY, but can drink one if his parents are buying. What a silly law. Of course, if he is home in BC he can do what he wants at 19.

That was the year. The one that got away.

Welcome back, my friend, to the show that never ends ... So glad you could attend, come inside, come inside ...

You really are Scotty. I bet you wish you had a whole bunch of slightly aging stars to trade for first round picks, eh??

Not him. Marner for sure.

We in Halifax and any other place in Canada don't call it The Great Satan for nothing. I grew up in Toronto and my feelings on it are well known, but the NHL team known as The Great Satan Leaves has nothing to do with it.

I'll bite ... Me too ... Just Jakey Carswell.

I never understood why fans of one team should take joy in another teams failure, especially Sabre fans in recent / current years. Something, something ... glass houses ... something, something ... throwing stones ... I take no joy in the dastardly Flyers missing the playoff this season. Why should I ? I cheer for the Sabres to win not for the others to lose. Who cares about the others ? Also, has the Jersey cheering not been debunked ? I don't see anyone doing that in America. I do understand Palestinians celebrating in East Jerusalem and Gaza and The West Bank and in other places. They would do the same today. I don't think if 911 happend today that the masses that are domonstrating now in the States would cheer it.
