K-9

He said he wanted to start a war. That is about as political as it gets.

Just heard Bylsma say that at the presser, too. GO SABRES!!!

I believe it was Kaleta. GO SABRES!!!

You are thinking of when Melissandre met up with Thoros of Myr after he resurrected Dondarian for the sixth time. That was when she also met Arya Stark and told her she saw her staring through blue eyes and green eyes and brown eyes or something like that and that they would meet again. It's also when Thoros gives her Gendry to take back to Stanis to have him sacrificed but Davos helped him escape. Was that season three?

Thug! GO SABRES!!!

Thought I heard Doc E. say that only six Blackhawks have been around to win all three cups the last six years. Yes, that's a testament to the talented core they developed, but it's also an indication of how good their management is. Amazing, really.

It's only the end of season five. There's much more story to tell, obviously. You've outlined a ton of it above. We won't know the final payoff until the show ends, but with all the hopelessness this season engendered, there's good reason to believe that it will prevail eventually given all the unresolved conflicts. No doubt it felt like blunt force trauma at times, but that makes the resolution all that much better, imo. Something tells me the writers are perfectly ok with generating this kind of criticism. They've got their hooks in pretty deep based on what I've read from some viewers.

I would add that the Romans were about a helluva lot more than orgies, killing for sport, drug abuse, etc. Like the great civilizations before them, their contributions to mankind's advancement is immeasurable.

I'd much rather see Kane and Eichel together with Ennis. Heck, I might even throw Girgs on a wing with them from time to time. Some serious speed/skill combo with those guys. GO SABRES!!!

This is why I don't let the crazies keep me away from this place. GREAT STUFF!

Passing laws and adhering to them are two separate concepts as our own experience in this country has illustrated as well. The point is that the Russian government felt compelled to make such a radical departure from previous regimes as a result of the will of the people for it to happen. Pretty amazing.

I'm surprised you deign to associate with such commoners.

Communist Russia may have created fear to openly express religious beliefs and driven that expression under ground, but I don't think that's the case anymore. A law passed in 1997 guarantees the right of all Russians the free exercise of religion.

I hear ya. I found it ironic that he cites Russia considering Russia's long history of diverse religious observance. As if communist Russia is the only Russia the world has ever known.

Good call here, too. GO SABRES!!!

You mean they don't really have a purpose as assigned by humans. What purpose do whales have? How about turkey buzzards? Or the Irish?

I think this is a fair assessment. GO SABRES!!!

Retribution depends on who Kaleta takes a run at. He takes runs at other teams' muckers like him. I don't recall Kaleta taking runs at the Crosbys of the league. I seriously doubt Kaleta's presence is a threat to our young players, especially with the likes of Foligno, Kane, Deslauriers, and Bogo to protect them. GO SABRES!!!

Happy for you! I saw 3 in five years as a teenager and took it for granted. 47 years goes by quickly.

I find it funny that the only people saying Eichel is upset about "the leak" are the media and those that choose to believe the reports. Honestly, when you view his presser and listen to his WGR interview, his "upset" barely registers. In their quest to manufacture a slight of McDavid by Eichel in order to further their great rivalry narrative, the media have looked like idiots. GO SABRES!!!

Patty is a fixture in the building. I imagine he's bending the hell out of Bylsma's ear. I hope we find a way to keep him. GO SABRES!!!

Judging from the photo posted on the NHL twitter, Eichel just Bob Beamoned the long jump. Nearly landed outside the pit. GO SABRES!!!

Yes, I forgot Hanifin. GO SABRES!!!

I didn't bring Kassian into this thread, you did by referencing a discussion about him in another thread from years ago. Bragging about what I said? Really? By simply pointing out that we ultimately agreed about Girgensons originally? By adding context to your misleading reference to a thread from three years ago? Have you been laying in wait all this time just to spring it on somebody when they praise Girgensons now? WTF, dude. Is your ego so frail that you need to be complimented about your original insights into Girgensons several years ago? Hey Ghost, GREAT call on Girgensons when he was drafted! But don't try to imply that I was anti-Girgensons when we drafted him and that I am somehow just now coming to appreciate his makeup. Not even close. You'd know that if you were paying closer attention to what I've posted about him the last three years. This thread is about nothing more than a great answer the kid gave to a question during an interview. Period. I find your attempt to make it a comment on something else entirely, pitiful. GO SABRES!!!

Ghost, I certainly don't intend to project anything on to you but how am I to understand your assertion that you'd be OK with sending Risto and Eichel to Arizona for Hanzal and Domi? I mean I took your advice and slowed my mind down to just above absolute zero and still can't make sense of it. I think you're the one seeking to project things around here. GO SABRES!!!
