I started using it as an avatar a couple years or so ago when Chz said she'd post naked pictures of herself when someone else did. I guess it wasn't impressive enough to get her to follow through.

There'll be no more hanging around with an avatar depicting a fetus with a 1" limp johnson for this Sabres fan. All you screen doors out there, beware.

Brings back memories for Inkman.

elcrusho doesn't understand the spirit of this thread but will take any opportunity to reminisce about his headliner days in the Mexican ballets.

X.Benedict thinks he has a chance with her.

SDS knows this because he sits by qwk, Todd and Buffie.

Nice.Trying to derail this thread again, eh?

Teddy Nolan was a fine coach and an admirable guy. His coaching (not his coaching style) was no longer what the Sabres needed. Time for a new coach.

He'll gladly "pay you" next tuesday for a hamburger today.

How do you like it? Black? Columbian? With a little cream? Half and half?

Go into any Wal-Mart and get their Prima Della corned beef, pastrami or rare roast beef and you can save yourself a trip to NYC and a lot of bucks. You'll save enough to enjoy the City for other reasons.

Why are you posting this in the pizza thread?

The goal of the tank was to get either McDavid or Eichel. There would have been little tanking if there were not two players that were head and shoulders above the rest in the draft. What team is going to tank for a 1 in 5 chance to get the best player with the alternative of getting someone who might play on the first line?

Ah, but the memories!

Did you lose weight?

I'd sign him, drug him and get him Shanghied into a Chinese homosexual brothel. After that I'd get serious about paying the sob back for being a first class jerk.

He was not fired. He wanted a multi year extension. Darcy Regier was new to the team and wanted to only give him a one year extension to see how things would work out between them. Nolan turned it down.

That and their avatars. :w00t:

Not a chance. Here's a team that wasn't very good to start off with and "lost" some of its best players. TMGM did a masterful job of tanking while allowing the players that remained to fight for every inch. I'm understanding of the GM's actions but proud of how the players fought. The best thing is, that after tonight we can all just be Sabres fans.

It would only be fair to do both.

So, if you revere them so much, how can you disrespect them to the point of saying they can "eat crackers in your bed" anytime? Are you a "cracker"?

Regardless, they are both head and shoulders above the rest per consensus of all the top hockey minds. My contention is that if there weren't two players so far above the rest and it was only one, then tanking the season wouldn't be as important to teams. After all, the odds are very much against every lottery team of gaining the first pick.

Last year there were 4-5 players at the top of the lottery that were nearly equal. This year there are two that are supposed to be "generational". Since 30th place will guarantee a team one of those two, then a proper tank job can make statistical sense. In a normal year a complete tank job to 30th place would gain a team a 20% chance of the first pick in the draft, which might not be all that much better than the next few picks. Hardly worth a complete tank job.

I don't know if the NFL can adapt to that few players.
