  1. McDavid breaks collarbone. Out "Long Term"

    This is a disgusting viewpoint.  Hoping someone gets injured.  It's just disgusting.  Real fans don't want McDavid to be a flop, they don't want the other team to suck, they just want their team to be better.

    Yep, I know that when the other team has a breakaway on our goalie, I am rooting for a laser shot to extreme top corner blocker side so our goalie can make a highlight reel save. I would never root for that shot to suck, 10 feet wide. Oh, heaven's to Betsy! This isn't youth soccer where you hope both teams play super and everybody has fun. Miss the net McDavid! And break your wrist while doing it, ideally.

    Is that John Houseman as a Thanksgiving turduckurtle?

    I'll admit, I was shocked that PA of all people would have posted something as cold as this:

     

     

     

    IMO, it is one thing to celebrate a player whose injury prevents them from facing your team.  It's another to wish ill will on someone you don't know.  I'll admit to that sort of ill will towards Milan Lucic.  But he has done things to deserve that sort of emotion.  Call me a hypocrite.  I'll admit it.  And justify it.  This?  This is wishing ill will just because he is there.  I'm honestly surprised it came from PA.  Never struck me as the Machiavellian type.

     

    I do dig the passion though, PA.

     

    FREEDOM!!!!!

    McDavid is not just there, he's out there -- watching us, studying us, plotting to take away our Cups. He's the Martians in War of the Worlds.

    I stand with PA.

    You're either with me or against me. I welcome you into the fold.

    So that justifies wishing ill will on another human being?  What kind of twisted thinking gets you to this point?

    No connection. It was a side comment. It does bug me when people say so and so seems like a nice guy. A friend's mother thinks Lundqvist seems like such a nice guy. Why? Because he's good looking? But I digress. It's sports, man. We wish ill will on the enemy all the time, unless you live in some fantasy world where you cheer a fight but of course don't want the other guy to bleed. Puh-please.

    Hate to say it, but I'm in between PA and you guys.... I hate to see an injury in general. It sucks a little bit, but just because it's McJesus it seems like it's being taken much further.

     

    If that was a grinder that we didn't know about then most wouldn't be saying "aw poor baby", and yes the argument can be made that because he is supposed to be the "next great one" it matters more..... But that shouldn't.

     

    Hell maybe an injury will spark him after sitting so long, learn from mistakes, maybe we created a monster.

     

    It's Jacker's time plain and simple and I care more about what a player on my team is/is not doing, rather than an unfortunate injury in Edmonton

    Thank you. This is spoken more like a fan who follows a team in the freakin' NHL than some generic fan of the sport who wishes he had a team to be passionate about. Times have changed. The Sabres are about to be in the conversation again, gents. Balls at the ready (and take scenic shots if you are so inclined). Jesus, do we need a woman to come in here and tell us to sack up? I bet bio is playing the McDavid injury on a loop as we type.

    Even Woody is with me, halfway! Come on men, over the hills with the swords of a thousand -- OK, two and a half -- men!

    I've previously remarked on the role this sort of rigidity plays in your view on things. It yields a particularly unpleasant expression in this connection.

     

    This isn't a harsh business. This isn't war. This is a pastime that I enjoy.

    So you're admitting that you'd be pleased if McDavid was injured on the eve of a series with the Sabres, or during said series? What kind of monster are you? But you'll be able to look yourself in the mirror because a few years previous you were heartbroken that he got hurt?

     

    I'd rather be rigid than flaccid!

    The contention is so analytically flawed that I must conclude that you're just trying to wind people up.

    I don't think so. Be consistent. If you want good health for McDavid, God's gift to hockey, then you must want it all the time, even as he tries to return from injury to beat the Sabres in the final. It's mean to think otherwise. Cold. Cruel. Classless.

    If that scenario were to come to pass, that would be a whole 'nother ball of wax. I don't need or want the kid out of the game now  in anticipation of that. Nor should anyone. Or, stated more pithily:

    You're being a hypocrite. You can't wring your hands over an injury now, and then think differently about it in June 2019.

    Did someone take over PA's account?

     

    Aren't who the one who is still crying about Vanek getting "taken out" against Boston a decade ago?

    I'm not advocating for violence against McDavid. I don't see what's controversial about what I'm saying. Fans aren't allowed to root against the opposition? Really? Real fans don't want McDavid to be a flop? Are you not rooting for Eichel to be better? This idea that Sabres fans have to worship McDavid and hope for the very best for him seems like a sign that we're so beaten down we don't even consider ourselves part of the league anymore. Think Hawks fans want health and wellness for McDavid so he can be the next great one and help supplant the Chicago dynasty? I hope the tibia is next to go. Why should I care? The league doesn't care about offense and talent, why should I?

    Did you really just say that?  REALLY?  You've got to be kidding me.  That's the most distasteful thing I can imagine someone saying about this situation.  No class at all.

    It's hockey. There's little requirement to be classy. Mike Schopp said it best when some people said fans cheering for the opposition last season was classless. "What class? It's a hockey arena." (paraphrase)

    Hey guys,

     

    Second post, or is it the third (ha), using my phone.

     

    Can you all see the triangle formed by Jupiter, Venus and Mars in the early morning Southwest sky?

    No, but I did notice a few weeks ago that just before sunrise in the east, they lined up as if on the edge of a circle, with a crescent moon above them.

    Because if you love hockey, you want that kid out there doing his thing. He is positively breathtaking.

     

    Seriously. If you feel that way? Time for some reflection.

    I reflected last night. Then I slept like a baby. Tell me you didn't wish for Troy Aikman to slip on a banana peel before those Super Bowls.

     

    It's a harsh business. As usual, I'm ahead of the curve. The Sabres and the Oilers meet in the finals in the three years. McDavid is day to day with a whatever. I'm sure this board would be pulling for Connor's return to full health, so they can watch his magnificent glory unfold before our very eyes.

    This might be a first but...+1.  I hope he heals quickly with no lingering effects. Like Jack, he seems like a good person in addition to being a great hockey player.  We need more of these not less.

    Seems like a good person? We don't know anything about these guys, really.

    You keep telling yourself that....

    I just read that Libby is 100% pumpkin. As in pumpkin, pumpkin. I'd be pretty disappointed if Lakeshore isn't as well.

     

    Anyway, the pies turned out OK. I was a little short on the crust because I wanted to use the 10-inch deep dish pans I have. The crust ended up thinner than usual, and I left them in a few minutes too long. A touch beyond golden brown. The effect is nice, though. Nice and brown and crispy. Yes, I've already cut into one. Will be better tomorrow when the custard sets up.

    Have you ever made pumpkin pie using actual pumpkin?  Roast pie pumpkins (don't use jackolantern pumpkins, they are less sweet and more stringy) just like you would squash (until very tender) and use that as the filling base instead of canned.  You might not go back to canned.

     

    Orrrr........ dirty little secret is canned pumpkin is mostly squash anyway.  Hubbard squash makes amazing filling.

    Yeah I'll get right on that. :)

     

    Hmmm, the can says "pumpkin." I'd be pretty disappointed to find out it's not all pumpkin, although it sounds like it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Still...
