K-9

It might get to the point where the Sabres have to actually pay people to attend. And even then, demand might be low.

While I don’t apologize for exercising my 1st Amendment rights, it’s unfortunate that you took such umbrage to what once was a common expression back in the 70s. I’ll chalk it up to the large generation gap that I presume exists between us. It’s also unfortunate that you took my sincere effort to clarify as a feeble attempt to “explain it away.” I didn’t think I needed to “explain it away” in the first place. If my “F off and die” post about Musk was the day this forum “crossed the line” then perhaps this is a fitting last post for me in this forum as the issue has now come full circle. Maybe I’ll give in to the nostalgia bug and order up one of these: https://vintagesponsor.com/products/70-s-80-s-*****-off-and-die-t-shirt-s-m In the meantime, please accept my sincere wish to you and yours for all the good this world has to offer. Peace.

Shut it down, but it really makes no difference one way or the other as the same small handful of participants really doesn’t do anything to further discussion anyway. It’s all an exercise in futility and a microcosm of where we are as a country. But thanks for taking the time and making the effort to moderate nonetheless.

Naive in the sense that Pegula was new to the game and didn’t realize how rough it was gonna be on him. I think he genuinely meant it at the time so I can’t say it was a lie. I certainly agree with everything else you said here.

Not a lie; more like a naive thing to say before the realities of NHL ownership presented themselves.

While I agree with sending him to the A first, I doubt the Sabres would hesitate to send him back to juniors if Rochester proves to be too much too soon.

All due respect PA, but that is a terrible idea; creepy even.

What Hank doesn’t seem to understand is that ERs are LEGALLY required, BY LAW to treat ANYONE in need of care, REAGARDLESS OF IMMIGRANT STATUS. That was all explained in the article I attached, but it goes against his ideology so I’m sure he didn’t bother to read THE FACTS.

I understand, but imo he needs to learn hockey against superior competition more than being a leader at 18. His leadership will develop as his maturity and game develop, anyway. And it’s gonna be a while before he’s “the man” in the pros, regardless. Being a leader in juniors, while nice, still means he has to earn it at the next level as well.

In terms of development, is it better to get more minutes against inferior competition or less minutes against superior competition? I would prefer less minutes against superior competition as imo that is what helps players improve the most. Mrtka needs to get knocked on his a$$ and learn from it.

Best place for him.

Well, he’s back out there so there’s that.

Where did it hit him?

What happened to Norris?

I think you keep the guy who is the better NHL player.

Good.

Per the bold, you are 100% correct. It is literally against federal law to provide government healthcare OF ANY KIND to undocumented immigrants, INCLUDE CHILD PROGRAMS. And while I can believe that these lying sacks of GOP puke Congressmen DO know better, many are ignorant of the laws on the books just as many of their MAGA constituents are. Until these lying scumbags provide PROOF that illegals have been given these benefits, they have ZERO credibility. https://www.npr.org/2025/10/03/nx-s1-5560987/shutdown-undocumented-immigrants-medicaid-obamacare

Agree about Reinhart, who would have signed an extension had he been offered one instead of the bridge deal Botterill gave him. But Eichel was extended for 8x80 and they had a deal in place for Ullmark.

I said a helluva lot more than “sue me” and in no way did Hank point out one damned thing I said that was hypocritical. And my putting him on ignore has nothing to do with the post about Kimmel.

No MAGA reaction to Trump’s brilliant idea to have American cities serve as “training grounds” for the military? What could go wrong? Especially when you’re at war with “the enemy within?” That might be his singular most ridiculous idea ever. And that is saying something. Oh, and why can’t you have fat officers when the Commander in Chief himself is the very picture of obesity?

I no longer see content posted by certain members, but to say this is “Schumer’s shutdown” is just an absurd regurgitation of right wing talking points. This shut down is about healthcare and dems not being included in the negotiation process. If I were a Dem, perhaps I’d have more to say about it. But it ain’t worth my time.

Regarding those many interactions that end up in murder, the majority are committed by people the victims knew and presumably trusted to some degree.

There are any number of things the Sabres could have done, starting with simply making smarter decisions. Take your pick as to where those smarter decisions could have been made. From front office on down, smarter decisions could and should have been made. The caveat being we enjoy the benefit of 20/20 hindsight.

At least Howard didn’t decide to do it at halftime in a game.
