TrueBlueGED Posted November 2, 2017 Report Posted November 2, 2017 Just when you thought the situation couldn't get worse, well, the USA sweaters are out: http://i.redd.it/835578zl3dvz.jpg WTF is that ?!?! Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted November 2, 2017 Report Posted November 2, 2017 Also, not unrelated, an interesting read (if can call Twitter a read) on Putin's control over the KHL and why Ovechkin pushes a pro-Putin agenda: http://twitter.com/SlavaMalamud/status/884522437454561280 Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 2, 2017 Report Posted November 2, 2017 I didn't think Twitter was for that kind of long speech broken into little bits. Quote
WildCard Posted December 5, 2017 Report Posted December 5, 2017 Russia banned from Olympics by IOC https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/05/sports/olympics/ioc-russia-winter-olympics.html Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 5, 2017 Report Posted December 5, 2017 The IOC is almost as big a joke as FIFA. Quote
WildCard Posted December 5, 2017 Report Posted December 5, 2017 The IOC is almost as big a joke as FIFA. At least the IOC wasn't bought off by Russia. The side affect is, of course, that someone on that chair is 100% being assassinated now Quote

Eleven Posted December 5, 2017 Report Posted December 5, 2017 The IOC is almost as big a joke as FIFA. Yeah but it got this one right. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 5, 2017 Report Posted December 5, 2017 Yeah but it got this one right. There appears to be a catch to this ruling. It seems that the IOC will allow Russian athletes (at least some) to compete, but not as 'Russians'. So, what happens when one of them wins gold? Quote
Eleven Posted December 5, 2017 Report Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) There appears to be a catch to this ruling. It seems that the IOC will allow Russian athletes (at least some) to compete, but not as 'Russians'. So, what happens when one of them wins gold? That person gets a gold medal. It doesn't count towards any sort of Russian meddle total and the Russian anthem is not played. Yes it's on purpose. Edited December 5, 2017 by Eleven Quote

DarthEbriate Posted December 5, 2017 Report Posted December 5, 2017 They want to keep the Russian meddle total to a minimal level next year? Quote
Eleven Posted December 5, 2017 Report Posted December 5, 2017 They want to keep the Russian meddle total to a minimal level next year? Yes. The IOC's investigation is but one of many. Quote
MattPie Posted December 6, 2017 Report Posted December 6, 2017 It's be cool if the athletes got to pick their own medal song if they're neutral. I'd pick the first minute or so of Musogsky's Baba Yaga if I were Russian. I might pick it anyway, because it's awesome. Quote
ubkev Posted December 6, 2017 Report Posted December 6, 2017 I'd pick the first minute or so of Baba O'Riley. Quote
WildCard Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 Derek Roy and Gragnani named to Canada https://twitter.com/frank_seravalli/status/951502385045737473 Quote
darksabre Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 I'm so glad these games are going to be on at an unwatchable hour. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 Isn't Derek Roy 35+ years old by now? Quote
Drunkard Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 Isn't Derek Roy 35+ years old by now? 34 until May (I just looked it up) but I hear he can still crotch grab like a 20 something. Quote
darksabre Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 34 until May (I just looked it up) but I hear he can still crotch grab like a 20 something. I hear a lot of men get better at grabbing crotches with age. He could be PM of Canada by the time he's 60. Quote
ubkev Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 I want Derek Roy to crush it in this tournament. That will keep my Derek Roy snipes fresh and valid for another decade while we wait for a sabre to score 80 points again. Quote

That will keep my Derek Roy snipes fresh and valid for another decade while we wait for a sabre to score 80 points again. Remember when we took for granted having an 80 point scorer? Those were the days... :flirt: Quote
pi2000 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 34 until May (I just looked it up) but I hear he can still crotch grab like a 20 something. My close friend out here is a friend of his... and boy does he have some stories. Let's just say that Derek likes to party. Quote
