K-9

Case in point. And I love it. I suspect Cozens brings it in practice like he brings it in games, too. I suspect other guys on the team do as well. And that’s how teams get better. Full stop.

I thought Joker was out with COVID.

I thought Cozens was gonna play well when he told Granato before they departed Buffalo to join their national teams that when he played the US team he (Cozens) was “gonna kill ‘em.” That really confirmed what I’ve felt about Cozens for a while now. It’s not just that he loves winning or hates losing, it’s that he’s a warrior on the ice that wants to rip your heart out and show it to you as you crumble. He competes his ass off and win or lose, you’ll know you were in a game when it’s over.

Dylan Cozens getting some props. Nice. https://thehockeynews.com/news/dylan-cozens-play-with-canada-should-excite-sabres-fans

Gotta love hockey fans. They’re the best. And I gotta wonder if the Flames didn’t plant these fans behind the Oiler bench. https://apple.news/AXtf746g9T7yLUUw6omF6dw

It’s my understanding that both Letterkenny and Shoresy are filmed entirely in and around Sudbury.

This is the mentality we are dealing with when it comes to the manufacture and marketing of semi-automatic assault rifles. This is a Twitter ad from Daniel Defense, the company that made the rifle used by the killer in Texas. Un F ing believable. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-courts/maker-gun-used-uvalde-shooting-long-known-incendiary-ads-rcna30631

Letterkenny and Shoresy are definitely not for everybody, that’s for sure.

Imagine Slap Shot made into a comedy series. Fans of Letterkenny rejoice, this is a funny show with heart.

Same here. It was fun while it lasted though.

^This. Police departments need to look like the communities they serve, not like an invading army. That said, they also need to police on an even playing field and unfortunately, with the unlimited proliferation of easily obtainable semi automatic assault weapons in this country, they might need these weapons just to have the best chance.

Hmm. I don’t think the Sabres can guarantee he will be a part of the Sabres. They can guarantee an opportunity but that’s about it. Can they give him a really fat contract to play for the Amerks if he can’t make the show?

I imagine these horrific events can be even more sobering for some gun owners. It speaks well of you that you can examine your conscience on these matters when so many immediately get defensive and shut down. Regarding the conversation about letting this destroy our rights, it’s a common bull crap canard thrown out by many in the aftermath of these events. Simple truth is, common sense gun laws would do absolutely nothing to threaten 2A rights. Nothing in the least. But 2A has become so bastardized, especially over the last 20 years, and so many politicians bought and paid for by certain lobbying efforts, that people don’t even consider what they’re saying on the matter.

Hey, @pastajoehow are you holding up today? You good?

You mean that the salute to military month, all the camo gear, fly overs, and patriotic fervor isn’t a genuine organic event put forth by the NFL? I’m stunned at this revelation. Stunned I tell you.

I find it beyond ironic that Abbott is gonna speak at the NRA convention in Houston and it’s NO GUNS ALLOWED. One would think they’d be celebrating the very freedom that he signed into law.

Heard from a relative of one of the first cops to reach the scene at Tops and what he described is beyond horrific. Said he will need lots of time and therapy as a result of what he came upon when entering the store. Perhaps some of these hand sitters that insist on doing nothing should be made to see what brain matter oozing from blown out eye sockets actually looks like. Abbott and Cruz should be taken to the scene of dead children that can’t be identified facially and forced to look at the carnage. Texas politicians, who made it possible for anyone 18 or older to walk into a store, purchase a semi automatic assault rifle, multiple 30 round clips and then openly carry these weapons without a license, have blood on their hands. Every F ing one of them who voted in favor of this insane policy.

Thanks for the play by play. Now I’ll have to rely on @pastajoefor updates and, frankly, I’m afraid to click on his posts in this thread.

Too bad we can’t read about 213 incidents of people being saved by a gun in the first 145 days of the year vs. 213 mass shootings in the first 145 days of the year.

Have we solved Primeau?

Get that man a donut!

Are you happier about the goal more than you’re sad about clearing the D zone?

I’d take Marner, Connor, or Barzal at number two and in that order. Then Werenski and Rantanen.

Would it surprise you to learn that the majority of gun owners are in favor of banning assault rifles and other sensible gun laws? That’s been the case for decades, too.
