K-9

I’m not criticizing Eichel, merely pointing out that he created his own longer delay in returning to the ice. I have no interest in re-litigating the issue. Both parties acted in their own best interests. But it sounds like people are taking shots at the Sabres and their perfectly legal and sensible position when they defend Eichel’s decision to hold out.

Eichel clearly didn’t have the right to his preferred procedure as the CBA gives that power to the teams instead of the players. And while it’s true that the ADR is a three month recovery vs. the six months for the fusion surgery Eichel, by insisting on having the ADR, delayed his return to the ice by more than a month longer than if he’d gone ahead with the fusion immediately after the rehab stint that failed to improve the condition initially.

I disagree. If anything, I under estimated TT’s output for next season.

TT will threaten the 50 goal mark next season. Sign the man now for as long as you can and laugh when his deal looks like a steal soon after the ink dries.

WTF was that ref looking at? He skated over to the net, saw the puck resting inside it, and never gave a good goal signal.

True, that. It was a redundant definition about a goalie to be sure. Anyway, I don’t want any part of any player with motivational issues. We’ve seen with our very eyes what that did to our favorite hockey team in years past.

Any uncertainty surrounding motivation eliminates him from any consideration imo. Last thing we need is another head case between the pipes.

The melody is the only common element of the two songs. The title, words, and meaning of ‘America (My Country Tis of Thee)’ is an American original and served as one of our national anthems before 1931.

The SSB has been co-opted and bastardized since it’s origin and original adoption by the military for ceremonial purposes. I have no problem just going about my business when it’s played in the background. It should remain a military ceremonial song while we adopt a new national anthem. I’ve long thought that ‘America the Beautiful’ would be a good choice or perhaps ‘My Country ‘Tis of Thee’ as both capture the breadth and majesty of our country’s greatness on a much larger scale imo.

Person, women, man, camera, tv

Not happy that Tampa won, but I’m glad the Rangers didn’t if that makes any sense.

I’ve never been a fan of retiring numbers at all, regardless. I am in favor of not issuing that number to anyone else unless that player demonstrates comparable greatness. The odds are against it, but I’m ok with others aspiring to that same level of greatness. There are other ways to honor great players for your team.

Of they ever do a remake of ‘The Ten Commandments’, Fitz could be cast for the role of Moses.

Not sure about Mitts, but I suspect Cozens, given what he brings and the high value Granato seems to place on it, may be as close to an untouchable as we have on the team.

Speaking of old methods vs new threats, the 2A is the mother of them all. Especially the bastardized interpretations the NRA co-opted decades ago.

What a game!

The Finnish home crowd is awesome.

Cozens with a rip on the PP. 1-0 Canada

200 feet long by 92 feet wide, so just a little wider than an nhl rink. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_Arena_(Tampere)

Schitt’s Creek, The Kids in The Hall, and nearly every cast member of SCTV says (in Shoresy voice), “Give your balls a tug and STFU.”

Canada has produced fine, critically acclaimed TV shows over the years and I won’t even bother with the list of super star talent Canada has produced over the years, either. Letterkenny and Shoresy are following suit as critics everywhere have given both shows high marks, not just in Canada.

I suspect Donny G watched every minute of his game today.

The critics very much disagree that it’s a C level production and there’s a reason it’s won awards in Canada. But like I said, it’s certainly not for everybody.
