He is horrible. Epitome of a homer. 

I don’t care or mind that my hometown team is a Homer.  RJ wasn’t exactly objective.

He was hated before that. There is an anti anthem thing here as well.  

I wouldn't say I'm anti-anthem, but I don't really see it as necessary.  But if you're going to do it, do it right.  Sing the notes on the paper, not your personal jazzed up version.  I'm also not a fan of the field-sized flags they use at football games, as they go against US Flag Code prohibition of displaying the flag horizontally.  I'm kind of pedantic in that if you're going to do patriotism, do it right.

Quote

§8. Respect for flag

No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
...

• The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.

Is that a real quote of his?

Pretty close. He's a bit too clever.

 

Here come the Buffalo Sabres.

[ExWNYer]

Plenty of offensive zone time this period but nothin' doin' yet. Matt Ellis gets a chance to change that now. <Yes, I laughed as I was typing that last sentence>

[Mr Peabody]

I was ambivalent about R Johnson signing versus the draft pick we’d get if he didn’t.   I was very wrong.  He looks like a vet out there and a damn good one at that. 

[ExWNYer]

TNT redemption!

[Pimlach]

Ok Tage is off the schnied 

[Doohicksie]

[erickompositör72]

Offsides? J/k!

[PromoTheRobot]

How did they get in?

[Stoner]

OK take this game by the canned yams.

Good lord. Even I'm not that obtuse.

Don't sell yourself short.  You're plenty obtuse.

Low post then off goalie.

Seconds before his goal, I was going to post, "Thompson is going to score today...or die trying."

He's been better than Power this year.

Huh?

[Believer]

Thompson… with his patented one-timer from the left circle… And a PP to boot.

[JohninMinn.]

Shoot da puck.

That puck had eyes. There was zero room for error there. Almost looked like a pinball shot.

[Crusader1969]

For the life of me, I have no idea what 89 and 53 have done to warrant being on PP1

I’m sure Gibson is saying the same thing. That just snuck by his left skate blade 

[DarthEbriate]

Sabres are so enamored with the drop pass to start the PP rush that they do it when there's a Duck trailing for said drop pass. You're on the PP, meaning if you rush up ice it's a 3 on 3 with lots of space or even a 4 on 3 odd man rush. Instead you drop it and allow that trailer to get back on defense and the zone entry that much harder. Hmmm.

[Porous Five Hole]

SOG:

Sabres 24

Ducks: 5

[Indabuff]

That looked even worse in person

[Brawndo]

Eric Johnson has been an adventure today
