GASabresIUFAN Posted April 30, 2020 Report Posted April 30, 2020 Playoffs or not, ruining the Leafs season would be a triumph IMHO. Nothing better then seeing Leafs Nation sitting in their $600 seats watching the most over-rated sports franchise in sport suffering another sad end to another mediocre Leafs season. 1 Quote

Then nearly every winter I got the great pleasure of watching my Sabres outperform the Leafs. Watching the Leafs fail is something I've enjoyed for nearly 50 years. 2 Quote

Stoner Posted April 30, 2020 Report Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) I think what's bothering me is the idea that a workforce can consider itself so essential and so privileged that they should be able to move their workplace to a safer area and be assured of testing that even over the summer will not be available to everyone. One of the bidding requirements is that restaurants be available to offer "bubble" service. The NHL entourage and no one else, I assume. This pandemic ripped a bandaid off our society. The NHL seems to be saying... "Yeah we're gross. So what? How are you going to stop us, diseased peasant?" Edited April 30, 2020 by PASabreFan 2 Quote

There are tests available to the public right now. For a price, of course. Anyone can buy them. Edited April 30, 2020 by SwampD Quote

My mind went right to this. I don't want them in, they don't deserve it. Any kind of winning within, however unlikely, will feel tainted. 20 hours ago, Randall Flagg said: Idk, I don't think it'd be worth a summer of triumphcommunes condescendingly telling us that Botterill "ended the playoff drought" And this. It's more likely to set the franchise back. I can honestly see them sitting at the end of season 2020-2021 press conference: "Look, we took a bit of a step back this year, but we made the playoffs last year, you often see this with young, rebuilding teams". Edited April 30, 2020 by Thorny Yes, Jason Botterill has broken me Quote

You can put a million asterisks for all I care but I just want to see Sabres players lifting the Cup! **************************** If that actually happened, It would most likely be the most memorable Stanley Cup in NHL history because of the once in a lifetime global circumstances. A silver lining way to view it rather than a tainted asterisk. Edited May 1, 2020 by Jävə Keith Quote
dudacek Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 History wouldn’t remember it as tainted, it would remember it as the underdog story of all underdog stories. If they somehow knocked off Toronto Boston and the Met and West champions -which they would have to do - that would be earned. The only taint would be in the minds of people looking for taint. Quote

Timberlane is a beautiful camp set in a birch forest on a deep clear lake. The movie Meatballs was filmed at camp White Pine on the other side of Haliburton. We at Timberlane were the rival camp to White Pine but we were nothing like the camp in the movie. 1 Quote
