So we disagree. Why slap a pejorative label on my opinion and insist you have it right? Classic.

Thanks!

Yes. Yes.

She has to do what's best for Lindsey.

I remember a video of Jack sitting on the bench in some scrimmage/pickup game before he was drafted. He was nastily chirping guys. I am well aware chirping is a hockey tradition. There was something about it that turned me off. He's a negative energy guy. This sentiment, gaining steam here, is mostly a strawman, IMHO. No, he's not.

You mean 20% didn't get us there? And not even 50%? Shocker.

I've never done the fantasy trade thing. I acknowledge my lack of knowledge. But I don't see how Risto brings back a young defenseman and a high draft pick. That seems nutty. Of course I guess it doesn't say the young defenseman is any good.

DAMN! This isn't all that bold. All he has to do is take a corpse of a franchise and make its decomposing hand claw into a playoff spot, just one time, baby.

So... no search?

You and your thanker need to read a little more goodly. You keep saying this, like you want it to be true. I do, too. But folks were given a chance to post BOLD takes and it was Fred Rogers time. It's not in this board's DNA anymore. Little by little, it was pushed down. Not if I was the captain. I go down with the ship. Why should he get more than polite applause? And why wouldn't some boos be warranted? We can't have nice things, so we have to built our our decent things into treasured heirlooms? Jack Eichel? Meh.

It's German for penis.

OUT, YA HEATHEN TUMOUR!!!!!

It's start. Channel her more.

Nary a bold take among them. What's wrong with you people? It's an anonymous hockey board. Go for it. You can see how unpopular opinions have been beaten out of people, for various reasons. Me, I don't care. Miller was good, never elite. Lindy wasn't funny — or fit to lead the team beyond the co-captains. Terry sucked and meddled (from the git go). Dahlin has only ever looked good on Swedish YouTube. It was a good goal. Amateurs.

The 64 gazillion dollar question is — why did Adams start thinking about moving Jack after last season?

The allegations are detailed in the lawsuit and have been reported in news stories.

I am being told that I'm hearing LGR also smelt burnt toast and was 'evaluated' by the company nurse.

Within the day, the week or the month?

Damn. What a memory. Are you a woman by chance?

Charged? After 10 years? The fact so many knew and nothing was done in the legal realm could suggest that what the coach did in this case (I'm not talking about what he was convicted of doing with minors later) was on one end of the "sexual misconduct" spectrum. Can we even get the terms right? Sexual assault? Sexual misconduct? He tried to get an of-age Hawk to have sex with him. In the process, he apparently watched porn and pleasured himself. It's not good, but cops aren't going to bust through his door and arrest him for something he probably wouldn't have been charged with at the time. Legal eagles please chime in.

Good question. Terry seemed to become a Pens fan after moving from Buffalo to the Pittsburgh area. (Link? Not really, but I can link to a pic of Terry with Sidney, and he did name his dog Sidney — no, the kids didn't.) Terry's buddy Cliff Benson of Deloitte did accounting work for the Pens. Terry credits Cliff with encouraging him to buy the Sabres, and Cliff was a principal player in the process. "He's the first guy I told I wanted to buy the Sabres who didn't laugh at me." Cliff then joined the Sabres' front office, and not surprising Ted Black and Ken Sawyer of the Pens came along. That's the genesis of tanking: Terry's love of Sid and all the Pittsburgh people he brought along (with a measure of "win a Cup, then win another one" mentality). Now, of course, the Pens didn't tank for Sid, as there was no season before that draft; the Sabres had the same shot at Sid based on their crummy seasons before that draft. And Sid arrived on a decent Pittsburgh that plausibly could have success as he grew into his game. Hence a Cup four-ish years later. Still, they tanked.

I don't blame the poster for not getting the HOLY FYCK!!! reactions. It's not like Jeff is gone.
