This game doesn't look THAT boring on TV. The bar for boring is pretty low (or would that be high?) for a Sabres game. Me, too.
-
You think Eichel was running his mouth?
-
That was a great move. Samson, at least, is having a good game.
-
Well, this isn't the Sabres we're used to seeing lately.
-
We've seen Ennis fail to execute a one-timer into an open net several times this season already. 5v5, 5v4 whatever.
-
Ennis can not make those kind of shots. Bylsma ought to drill him on those one-timers for hours.
-
Pickles pokes and trips.
-
Yay, a penalty against the bad guys!
-
Let us unite in peace tonight as Sabres fans and pull the goalie!

Just got home. Hope you had a taker. -

I would do this in a heartbeat if I didn't have family plans right up until game-time. -
The Coneheads are from France. The place can't be all that bad.

I did say at the time. Today, yes, the price is down, but if just the US government alone would alter its stance on energy and fossil fuels to support that industry, especially while the $pb remains low, stock would fly off the shelves. As I said earlier, the return on investment would be world-history changing in magnitude.

Well, hell's bells, if you're going to outlaw arguments, I vote to outlaw the ridiculous "climate change" argument. All in favour? Autos kill people and pollute the environment. What more reasons do you want? Those are the same reasons for gun control. Oh, wait, I forgot some reasons: even crazy, poorly educated people can access autos. And, autos create power disparities between people.

For Iraq, at the time, the idea was to leverage its greatest export: oil. You seed the economy there, help them manage it, and add funds where necessary.

I'm quotong it for posterity. Excellent contribution.

Just a joke.

@sizzlemeister: Bogo injured during morning skate, out another 6-8 weeks.

It's not unlike the death of Princess Diana. We may hear of other prominent people dying, but nothing sends the media off the rails like a pop culture darling. The media didn't go wall-to-wall bonkers when Harry Blackstone Jr. died the same year.

In a good or bad way?

Obviously ridiculous. Those refugees are innocent pawns and a distraction from the real players. So what only 70% (or more) of the refugees are men of military age. They don't need scrutinizing, they need free XBoxes and Starbucks gift cards. That'll show 'em we mean no harm. Like offering a gluten-free breakfast bar to a lioness. Anyway, given recent history there is no reason not to take the threats seriously. It's too late for the countries that are too PC and hypnotized to have isolated the refugees they accepted, or who don't take immigration and borders seriously. Those countries will have to back-track and find every person they let in, and thoroughly vet them, at the very least. As long as they can forgive themselves for being judgmental while they do so, and appearing to prefer their own citizens' welfare to that of complete strangers. Which is mighty Christian of them, a fact which on its own must cause traumatizing intellectual dissonance.

I doubt you'll find much opposition to this idea. What seems to be the stumbling block is HOW you accomplish this. You're not just going to saunter into town and start fixing things and earning karma points. Little kids get their arms cut off in African countries after the UN or missionaries administer inoculations. Iraqi homes are invaded, and a patriarch has his face peeled off with a wire for cooperating with the US forces. Before you lay the groundwork for "a better life" you need to remove the fear that pursuing "a better life" will result in torture and death. And that's assuming the natives think what we'd bring is better for them. To us it's a no-brainer, but not every belief system thinks ultra- materialism and spiritual vapidity equals "a better life".

More people die from automobiles, you know. It's a popular Internet search term. I don't have the exact number handy, but a quick estimate is something like 1.8 million auto related deaths since 1968. Also, over half the gun related death total is a result of suicide. If they didn't have a gun available, would they still be alive? But, whatever. Guns are bad, guns are evil. No one but the government should have guns. Yeehaw.

I wouldn't want to give up an asset now unless the player coming back is expected to be a contributing part of the team for the next 4 years or so. I think McCabe is a keeper for that period, so, it's going to have to be a forward if the trade has to happen.

I will grant you the general theme of this post; the Allies definitely were short-sited coming out of WWI and those European nations had zero respect for the history of the ME when they went meddling in there following the war. That theme carried over to WWII as well.
