You consistently make references to the federal government arbitrarily deciding to punish states by withholding funds, etc. They are punishing states not in compliance with federal statutes which is why I cited the supremacy clause in the first place. Hope that clears it up.

I will go so far to say that if he stays healthy, he is a lock to surpass Howe. His dedication and discipline when it comes to nutrition, training, etc., is amazing. Admirable, really. GO SABRES!!!

This is where you lose me on your argument. If "certain conditions" means that states have to adhere to the law in order to qualify for federal funding (not a new concept at all, btw), then yeah, I guess certain conditions apply. In the meantime, I'd call it staying eligible by complying with federal statutes.

I'm thinking of Sweden, myself. Panny cakes and Frank Serpico always spoke highly of it. I could thrive in the land of lingonberry.

Love the idea of Bailey skating with Kane and Reinhart. Samson may like mirror images on either side of him. Great opportunity for the young guys to step up in an adversarial moment. I choose to make lemonaide. GO SABRES!!!

Does it matter? Like the Bills are to Brady, the Sabres are Crosby's . High time we stop that, too. That said, I would prefer Larsson's line to face him as often as possible. I like what Girgs brings to Jack's table and don't think we should break that up. I can see Bylsma mixing itmup though. Heck, if Eichel can maintain his newfound commitment to the D end, I wouldn't mind seeing him force Crosby to play some D, too. GO SABRES!!!

Ryan O'Reilly lower-body injury; could be out "several weeks"
K-9 replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
Other than being our best all around five on five player and a key cog on the PP and PK, he won't be missed at all. Good point on the heavy lifting now shifting more to our young stars. It's a lot to put on such young players, but it can be a great opportunity. GO SABRES!!! -
No idea. I guess that would remove any question, though. Nice to catch a tired backup goalie on the second of back to back games. GO SABRES!!!

Fleury was out with an illness. Questionable for today. GO SABRES!!!

The play by play guy would never get a word in edgewise, but I bet he'd offer some interesting insights. GO SABRES!!!

Good example and an interesting one as well. The supremacy clause requires that all states adhere to federal law, period. States that don't ARE in violation of the Constitution by definition. The ACA is the established law of the land and states are required to comply as per the supremacy clause. Before the Supreme Court ruled on the merits of the medicaid expansion, those states deciding not to expand were in violation of federal law and were subject to have federal funding cut as a result. It's a testament to our system that the states have redress in the federal courts as well.
-
I'd be interested in some examples, especially the part about waiting until you need it most and have no choice but to take it. As to the larger point, the supremacy clause is pretty clear and has been since it was first tested over 200 years ago.

Goal calls are just icing whether they are spontaneous or not. Dunleavey can't bake the cake in the first place. GO SABRES!!!
-
The most important skill a play by play announcer needs, is the ability to keep up with the play. Radio or TV, Dunleavey fails miserably at this; always a second or two lag time between the action and his description and he frequently confuses himself as well as his audience. He is a dial-up connection in the age of broadband. Perhaps the worst PbP guy I have ever heard. GO SABRES!!!

Lehner should play without a mask. GO SABRES!!!

He's a hockey player. They lose teeth and don't miss a shift. I am convinced hockey players, especially muckers like Foligno, are worried schitleess that they will lose their jobs to newbies trying to impress. GO SABRES!!!
-
I am laughing because I had the same type of Month Python thought. We must have gone to different schools together. My only point, whether we agreed or disagreed on anything (and I can't remember, either), was that the league applied a much harsher standard of punishment because it was a ref. And the concussion issue only arose because it was a ref. Phuckin' refs! GO SABRES!!!
-
So, people wouldn't politicize GOING to the funeral, only that he is NOT going to it. Got it. I look forward to the list of names attending and not attending. Hacks on both ends of the spectrum will have a field day, regardless.
-
You misinterpret my meaning and place it out of context by not including my full post. Would ANYONE even be mentioning the possibility of Wideman being concussed moments before he made the hit if he made the hit on an opposing player? Yes or no? His actions afterward support that NOBODY would have paid attention to it, because it was totally ordinary behavior and a concussion wouldn't be needed to explain the egregious nature. Makes me wonder how many untold players have taken hits by players concussed shortly before they were hit. ESPECIALLY when the concussed player didn't exhibit symptoms and didn't miss a shift thereafter. GO SABRES!!!

Justin Bailey texted/called/recalled/homing pigeoned/DMd by the Sabres
K-9 replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
Not seeing Girg's number in that list. But if Bailey is gonna stay another game I am damned glad he is on a more talented line. GO SABRES!!! -
This got me to thinking that if it WAS another player Wideman hit on the way to the bench, would anyone even be putting forth the idea that he was concussed moments before and that's what made him hit the other player? I doubt it. Because that wouldn't seem so egregious and the need for a mitigating factor is lost. Especially when we look at what transpired afterward with Wideman never missing a shift, etc.
-
I don know, smell. I think that is exactly how the league approached it with Wideman and I think you allude to that by citing Gudas. If it had been another player Wideman hit, the suspension would have been far less severe. The league fully recognized that because it was a ref, different standards applied.
-
I am not unsympathetic to Wideman's condition. And I would accept his mental condition as a mitigating factor if the hit was on a player. Refs, however, are in an entirely different class of protective measures. For too many reasons to list and argue here.
-
There can be no mitigating factors when refs are targeted and hit in the way Wideman hit that ref. None. It was intentional, regardless if Wideman was in his right mind or not. It was a deliberate act. Being concussed and not in his right mind may explain his actions. It does not excuse them.

Those were some stylin' kicks. Must have cost MUCHO Ricky Bucks. I wanna know what team the writers are tipping their hats to with the red and gold/yellow color scheme? Minnesota Gophers maybe? They are maroon and gold, afterall and Pryce seems to have that Norm Gunderson vibe.
