He was hitting. It was the first thing I noticed him doing. His work along the boards was spirited even if it wasn't as effective.

 

This is something Chet would say at the polo club.

[New Lafontaine Theory]

I liken this to the documentary about how Earth was going to be obliterated in 75 years by a death star, so humans had to find a way to get off Earth and onto a new habitable planet in order to, well, carry on. We all know the old LaLa thread is dying. This will be our new home!

[Things that are AWESOME...]

Cosmos should be good. I love science fiction.

I find it hilarious that he OK'd the number with Kane haha. I also wish that meant anything about Kane coming here. :w00t:

 

It's kind of like asking a guy if it's OK to bang his future girlfriend.

[Klesla will not join the Sabres organization]

The guy's career is over if it even started. He probably should never have crossed the Atlantic. Who cares. Let him go.

 

He did play almost 700 NHL games. I'm not sure what you're driving at.

 

Dooooon't caaaaaare

 

I think you have to care when the franchise looks like such a tire fire that players don't want to play for it.

[Klesla will not join the Sabres organization]

We are Islanders.

[(OT) If you had to name a doughnut captain of your doughnut team, what kind of doughnut would it be?]

I have it on good authority that Uwe Krupp's nickname while he was single and living in Buffalo was Bavarian Cream.

[GDT: Buffalo at Florida 3-7-14 at 7:30 PM EST]

Final tally, Buffalo - 27 minutes, Florida - 4 minutes. Good to see the refs called this one pretty even.

 

Do you really want refs to call games "even"? Now, I didn't see the game — I'm sure the edict came from biased league offices to put the screws to Buffalo. They don't want a small market in the playoffs.

[Connor McDavid - he's this good ....]

no joke: i bought a votive candle for this cause, and light it from time to time, and say honest-to-god prayers that the kid comes here. no one in my family knows this is why i light the candle. this makes me feel some amount of shame.

 

Mayhaps we can organize a mass virtual votive candle-burning when the time comes.

[(OT) If you had to name a doughnut captain of your doughnut team, what kind of doughnut would it be?]

we ain't done

 

It's over. This booze-inspired thread is a crispy critter.

[Sabres to induct Hasek into the Sabres Hall of Fame on March 29th]

Dom got a nice ovation when he returned to Buffalo and stepped onto the ice before a game not long after Terry Pegula bought the team. Terry's honeymoon was in full flower. I would expect Dom would receive a similar reception this time but things have changed. Will Terry and Ted Black step onto the ice they way they did for Rick? There are some fans — OK, quite a few — who don't like the way Dom left. Will they be heard?

[Shake up in the office PAT LaFONTAINE RESIGNS]

A position created specifically for LaFontaine really makes it sound like he was intended to be a figurehead.

 

Makes sense. Does it bring into question who really hired Tim Murray and Craig Patrick?

[(OT) If you had to name a doughnut captain of your doughnut team, what kind of doughnut would it be?]

Dunkin' Keith.

Thank you for ending the thread with class.

[(OT) If you had to name a doughnut captain of your doughnut team, what kind of doughnut would it be?]

 

I'd go five hole on that.

[(OT) If you had to name a doughnut captain of your doughnut team, what kind of doughnut would it be?]

Dammit, KIND of doughnut, not baker. Geez. You and sizzle should get together and deep fry each other or something.

 

A cruller comment I have not heard. Back to you, Clipper.

[(OT) If you had to name a doughnut captain of your doughnut team, what kind of doughnut would it be?]

It's covered in f*cking Mike Peca's essence.

 

Finally a nutritional selling point for donuts!

[(OT) If you had to name a doughnut captain of your doughnut team, what kind of doughnut would it be?]

Damn non pollacks!! It's pronounced pachkee.

 

I bought some today. Box says something like "PUNCH-kee." That would be my captain — tough nosed SOB. Like Eleven, I want a custard-filled, chocolate iced captain.

Rick is on fire! Vintage.

[GDT: Buffalo at Tampa Bay 3-6-14 at 7:30 PM EST]

Listening to Rick. It sounds like… hockey.

[Sabres to induct Hasek into the Sabres Hall of Fame on March 29th]

T.P. is the owner, so, yeah.

[Sabres to induct Hasek into the Sabres Hall of Fame on March 29th]

Neuvirth's pads are awfully.... red....

 

Please tell me his nickname is Bebe.
