Hart, from Alberta, could be an Oilers target. He could be the goalie they need. Hometown discount?

My Dad was a huge fan of wrestling, he suspended disbelief to a high level while watching. His fandom was pre Hulk Hogan but he was one of his favourites. RIP.

Congratulations?

I didn’t care about wrestling past age 12 so he wasn’t an important person to me. I will remember him more as a racist who made sex tapes with his radio DJ friend’s wife. 🤷‍♂️

I go back and forth on this. As a kid in the 1980s, I loved in. Early to mid 90's, totally stopped watching it and thought it was one of the worst things to watch. Late 90's and early 2000's, I was watching it every single Monday night and Thursday, almost without fail and probably my favorite thing to watch. Since then? I have turned in on 5-10 times in the past 5 years or so and Just can't get into it at all. I have gone from superfan to not caring, back to superfan and now find no appeal in it. BTW, I understand the appeal of Hulk Hogan and his longevity probably puts him over the top as the most popular, but I think SC Steve Austin, during his peak, was possibly as popular or more so than Hogan at his peak....at least in the arena. Hogan probably had more action figures and saturday morning cartoons that broadened his appeal, but being in the arena to see both of them wrestle, it was deafening when Austin came out, more so than Hogan...and people acted even more crazy when the 'glass shattering' happened compared to the first few notes of 'I am a real American'.

I was driving south on Rt 93 Between Lockport and Akron this morning (most country roads), pretty much doing the speed limit. I noticed a Truck in my rear view mirror about 1/2 mile back gaining on me quickly...in short order right behind me and tailgating badly (White Ford F150, not sure of the year but pretty new with a guy older than me driving it). After tailgating for a good mile, he finally decided to pass, gunned it, I could hear the engine redlining. After he got in front of me by maybe 20 carlengths, he then proceeded to do the speed limit or one or 2 mph less (I actually caught up with him) for the next few miles until he turned off right before Akron. Guy was going at least 10-15mph over the speed limit to catch me, tailgated, then once he pass me slowed down for the rest of his trip. Not sure what to make of that one.

We had an incident with our HOA earlier in the summer where a neighbor decided to park their camper at the foot of my driveway for 18 days. They wound up having the wife and I call into one of the board meetings to talk over it and why nothing was done. They essentially blamed us for the whole thing. Aren't HOA's great?

I had no idea they were brothers!

Congratulations?

Some women are assss kickers and others are ball crushers!

I’d imagine Carter Hart. He will have a ton of interest. Would Sabres look at McLeod to play with his brother.

I wonder who gets signed first. Teams will be walking on eggshells here.

I'd be happy to see it but I'd imagine the media would crucify us

I don't think it would.

That's what you get for marrying the president.

I can't imagine the Sabres doing it; the PR would create more hand wringing than they'd deem acceptable.

Well, a free agent goalie who is better than Lyon just became available.

He was wrestling in the 80’s and 90’s. I was genuinely saddened to hear he passed away.

You went a little too far back for the first two but I guess. Moulson didn't exactly work out though did he? Who was the 1st? Nylander for Jokiharju is a wash, Neither is here. So it's Nylander for Boston's 4th round pick. Which is really a high first round pick ending up as a 4th round pick. Big fail. O'Reilly didn't work out here and just adds to the issues. For all his flaws I think Zadorov would have filled a big need here over the years. Man is a mistake machine but he's also a beast. He wouldn't have stood by when Tage got hit. The high picks can't count because anybody and everybody would have done that. It's a reward for failure. Even in that you have the Reinhart Draisaitl debate. Ullmark sure, but we lost him, and yes JJP was a good pick but he's also gone in his prime years. Kane should never have been brought here and Zucker is meh. Mid level free agent player who got overpaid. It's fine but it's not an accomplishment. McLeod yes, even if Savoie is good, because we needed help now not later. The net loss gain on every season is a loss in terms of moves. If it wasn't we'd be decent and we are not.

I have never understood the appeal of pro wrestling.

Good is a relative term, but here a few trades or signings with decent to good outcomes (in no particular order) 1. Gaustad for a 1st 2. Vanek for Moulson, a 1st and a 2nd 3. Compher, Zadorov and others for O'Reilly 4. Kane traded for a 1st 5. Nylander for Jokiharju 6-10. Drafting Eichel, Reinhart, Ullmark, Dahlin and JJP 11. Signing Zucker 12. Trading Savoie for McLeod

Ah yes the ol Rochembeau persuasion technique... works brilliantly

77 is just too young.
