SABRES 0311

I’m going to cross my fingers and say Jack shoots more, Dahlin starts to reign in his gaffes, Montour adds some offense from the D, Mitts’ line does something other than nothing and Linus/Hutton pull a Negan and “shut s**t down”. 8-5-1

Trump claims Baghdadi’s next in line is dead. ISIS members may want to reach out their HR department and request transfer. No idea if it was planned or if this happened as a result of the Baghdadi raid.

Did he skate during OT?

Created some good chances in OT as well.

The Smaltz is strong with this one.

Channeling his inner Dahlin.

Crowd was going nuts.

Take cover man.

Then I guess the timing is a coincidence. ? Like I said we’ll have to wait for the movie.

Larry’s line causing problems for them. Jack with a PP goal and Skinner with the second. A little bit ago we were in their end for 1:40 straight.

Hour and a half ago.

Hutton will give him a birthday spanking for that.

Did that pass to Olofsson deflect on net from the blue line?

9-1 rout. Make them regret ever putting skates on and leave feeling like they need a hug.

This feels like one of those games... in a good way.

See Jack, scoring is easy for you. Always shoot!

I thought the goat head and slug would’ve made the list ?

How am I spinning it to make him look good? I never even said it was his plan. In fact I hope no president puts their hands into that cookie jar because they don’t have the experience. The military has people who develop the scheme of maneuver. Commanders pitch the course of action to the guy who says yes or no. All Trump did was say yes. Maybe, just maybe we received info where this guy was. Then multiple plans were built taking into account host nation and other factors. Maybe somebody with experience said we should make the operational environment look safer for the bad guy. At the same time said planner thought the bad guy might try to escape so we need to block him in without contradicting other planning considerations. I guess we will have to wait until the movie comes out.

The number of actors in the country and instability is a friction point. I think the Turks could’ve secured routes of egress Baghdadi could’ve used. Judging by the fact he detonated a suicide vest he was desperate not to be captured. Announcing a U.S. withdrawal may have provide him with a false sense of security. When Bin Laden was killed he had minimum personal protection probably because he thought Pakistan was more permissible without a large U.S. presence. Therefore I think the withdrawal announcement and Turkish incursion played a part.

The actionable intel definitely led to execution of the operation but I cannot rule out other nation participation. I wouldn’t think the full planning details will get released but the timing of everything is what leads me to think what I stated.

WOW

So I’m hearing Al Baghdadi was killed in a U.S. raid. Idlib has always been an area of interest for Turkey. I think this raid and all the talk of a U.S. withdrawal were meant as a deception to draw him out, creating a false sense of freedom of movement. Turkey in turn moves into northern Syria to provide a cordon. Kurdish forces do not have the resources for that task. If he is dead I am interested in seeing what Turkey does. I’m guessing they remain place. I wouldn’t be surprised if reports of a cease fire and hostilities prior were a part of it. Essentially making ISIS think they will be able to operate within the chaos then closing the door of escape on them once conditions were met. This also makes me question the ISIS prison escapes. Did that many really get out or was this to support the chaos theory by getting ISIS to think these guys would return to their lines. I could be wrong though. If I’m not......

Murica! Your either with us or a Leafs fan. We will not bow to the Milbury and Edwards Axis of Evil. Surprised Toby Keith hasn’t already made a song about how awesome the Sabres and Bills are.

Isn’t that the issue though? They play down to the level of lesser competition. I remember that being a point of discussion last year.

I don’t know about that but on a cold night and enough whiskey who knows
