Again, my apologies. MODO is not Yuri. He is this board's Jack Eichel. Superstar.
-
And so it ends.
No hoop for us.
-
This is going to be one of those goals the Sabres can't buy a goal.
Freudian slip?
-
MODO, you're fine. Forget I said it.

"Back in San Jose property" said Rick. That's a new one.

By reading posts with his last username, i cant even understand why you would think i am this guy?
I've never been on this forum before, i dont mind accusations to be honest as long as they are legit, but i cant see why it would be in this case. But then again, i dont know shait about this guy ur talkig about.
Did he speak of swedish players etc or what?
MODO, no offense intended. It was a joke. Yuri was (is) a funny, creative, deeply disturbed Sabres fan who liked to assume different user names and even nationalities. Take it as a compliment.

And this is where soft-headed liberalism gets us. Bloodthirsty Muslim lunatics commit yet another act of mass murder and announce that they are looking forward to drinking our blood -- but we are the barbarians.
No, you called the terrorists barbarians. I called the writer you linked to a Neanderthal. Ignorance is the common thread.

Old superstitions die hard, K-9. #ItGetsBetter
I remember looking up stats for this a number of years ago and there didn't seem to be anything to it, at least in the Sabres' case.
-
I've asked before and not gotten an answer. I can't find anything online. Do we know for sure that the NHL uses the NFL standard of "incontrovertible visual evidence otherwise the initial call stands"? Or do Toronto/the ref look at the call from "scratch" (preponderance of evidence) as if they are making the original call?
-
zero
I know I am. But what are the odds Yuri moved to Sweden?
-
Always good to quote a climate change denier. Barbarian, meet Neanderthal.
-
It's not unlike the death of Princess Diana. We may hear of other prominent people dying, but nothing sends the media off the rails like a pop culture darling.
The media didn't go wall-to-wall bonkers when Harry Blackstone Jr. died the same year.
Nothing will top the media response to that school shooting in an affluent town just north of NYC. Baba Wawa could drive right up in her limo and be back for cocktails.

@BuffNewsVogl: Sabres' lines: Moulson-O'Reilly-Gionta, McGinn-Eichel-Ennis, Larsson-Girgensons-Reinhart, Deslauriers-Legwand-Foligno, with Schaller.
@BuffaloSabres: Defense pairings:
Gorges-Ristolainen
McCabe-Pysyk
Colaiacovo-Franson
Bogosian rotating in & out with first pairing.
So Disco Dan's swiveling hips seem to be settling down.

Well we'd be playing what, 5 or 6 national anthems each night? In different languages too? Long and expensive
I didn't explain it fully. You'd play Sweden one time a season, Latvia one time etc. And you could do it instead of Canada if the two minutes are that precious.
-
I am a very bad man. But I have to ask what the odds are that MODO is Yuri?
-
It's because it happens so often in some places that we become deaf to it. It's really sad.
I don't think that's it. I think a French life is valued more than a Lebanese life. That's also very sad.
-
I just had a great idea: The Sabres should have some kind of contest for international fans. They'd win a trip to Buffalo for a Sabres game. You could limit it to foreign places where players hail from — Sweden, Finland, Latvia, Pittsburgh. Or open it up to all international fans. We've had posters from England, Germany, Belgium, where else?
By the way, my other idea in this vein, to play the national anthem of players' home countries before selected games, went nowhere. I do not have a great track record.
-
I don't like quoting long posts but I'm fine having this double posted. I was hoping that this thread would be a break from all the bickering and a chance to just mourn. if only.
Why are we to mourn this event and not something that happened in Beirut the other day? You could be on full-time mourn with the way the world is. It's just not practical. And if we're to selectively mourn, then I think we're getting to the heart of the problem.

Well, we can no more completely stop non-state terrorists than we can completely stop school shooters. Military and intelligence is part of the imperfect solution, but with terrorists a military response is in someways at once invited because it legitimizes the perpetrators, but it also helps polarize their own constituency.
So I would be careful of the robust and muscular military response and fight these bastards by lethal stealth and whatever can be done to undermine what legitimacy they have.
Thanks for saying it for me better than I could have. Terrorism works. People are afraid. They're overreacting. They're playing sad music on NPR. We'll have a moment of silence before the game tonight. France says "this is war!" (as if it wasn't war when they were bombing Syria). You can't go to war and then be offended when your nose is bloodied. Asymetric war, yes.
Many people want to re-occupy that region to prevent further attacks, as if doing so in the first place prevented any attacks, and I think the enemy would love our presence to be increased. It's all so ludicrous. What was our interest in the region in the first place? When did it begin? Where will it end?
One final question for the hawks. I take it you are in favor of a draft and are OK with dropping your kids and grandkids off at the train station?

He joins PBS Newshour.

4 1/2 years or so. 5 in April. Pretty short time in the grand scheme of things :)
Yeah I suppose. You guys are very very lucky to have one another.
-
Jo, how long have you and d4rk been together?
-
Having a familiar guy Luke Ray doing the color helps. Rob Ray has really grown into that role, love hearing him and his commentary. Especially when he, and RJ go back and forth.
Rob: I am your father.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

I was a little lukewarm on Dan to start. Natural, I suppose, as he's the guy who was figuratively going to smother Rick with a pillow.
I listened intently last night and he called a great game. Is he getting better or am I just coming around? The goal calls are improved, and that was mainly my beef in the past. (But he again had a weird call for a Florida goal where he didn't say "they score.")
There's a hint of Ted Darling in his professionalism and restraint and even in the lilt of his voice or how certain words trip off his tongue.
Actually what kind of stole my heart was his description of Ullmark's mask save. "Right off the minion!" If Dan incorporates just a bit of Rick's wackiness, we might have something here.

Steigerwald replacing Lange is still a bit of head scratcher with a hack saw to me.
