So, are you suggesting someone else is? Who are you calling a liar, exactly? What is your evidence?

Are you saying context is equal to urine? That's pretty ridiculous, as pee is liquid, and context is a non-tangible concept used to describe certain aspects of discourse.

Why do we start picking and choosing quotes from you, Amerk, and responding to those out of context quotes, and then you can let us know if context is important, k?

This already looks bad for the league and, in a certain way, Edmonton ("where number 1 picks go to languish"). McDavid's hyped skills will be wasted in Edmonton, and that will haunt the league until its fixed somehow.

It's not a stupid thing to say if there's context to make its meaning clear. In the full clip, does Murray provide the context?

I am ordering one of those shirts after the draft.

This is the correct attitude to have today. Hats off to you, sir (or madam)! Thank you, thank you, for this post. The best post I've read all night. Someone gets it. That other thread is depressing as hell. Bunch of whining &@$)(.

Losing the lottery draw. Giggle!

I can't f@&king believe some of the utter nonsense I'm reading in this thread. Now we know we have Jack "I'm coming for you" Eichel. Have we not followed this kid all season? Do you not know what kind of quality we will be getting with him? When was the last time Sabres fans have had the pleasure of knowing we have elite talent locked up for years? We have a ton of young talent. The stripping down is officially over and the rebuild will now go into overdrive. The future is the brightest it's been for the Sabres since God knows when. I do agree with the gripes over Murray's comments. Wish they'd prep him for situations like these. And who is the person trying to inject Babcock into this thread on the lottery pick? Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hat?

Tomorrow when I get home.

I had to reschedule something from Thursday to Friday evening, so I wouldn't have been able to go to the Preds game whether I wanted to try and jump through hoops or not. But, we were thinking of going down to Broadway later on but decided not to figuring it would be chaos. Turns out, people we know went and said there were only three people outside the arena watching on the big video screen.

I don't understand why he started in the first place.

Just would like to point out SDS was finally able to help me with an issue I had. So, the notice in my sig is no longer valid. I can't remove it yet because I'm on airport wifi using an iPod, but will remove it ASAP. I find the situation awesome. You may not.

Wait. Are we supposed to form an opinion, and then not ever let that opinion change (or, better yet, evolve)? That's pretty, uh, ridiculous. FWIW, I was pretty happy with Nolan when Patty brought him here, but, if the milestone is the trade deadline, I wasn't too excited by him at that point. By the last game, I could live with him starting next season, but would have preferred someone better and multidimensional. So, I guess I'm happy the Sabres put themselves in a position to find a better coach. Same happened with Ruff. He seemed to be the right guy for a while, but the little things piled up and there weren't enough successes to counter the pile of little things. 16 years of little things in a pile is a lot to overcome.

I found myself pulling for Nashville, too. It's hard not to like Chicago, though. Would like to have watched the Ottawa game, but seeing the replay of Subban's fit in the tunnel was all I needed. Well, that and Flynn causing the GM to do a happy dance with his partner.

I noticed that, too. I can't even be bothered to switch channels during the mid point here. You have to be sh!tting me that's not a penalty.

This is a great game in Nashville.

Flynn scores a playoff goal! Good for him.

WTF, which thread do we use?

Where the hell did Scott Darling come from?

Gaustad looks larger than I remember.

Well, WTF. My wife just said she'd be into going to the game and now this?

No. He needs Teddy.

Well, I don't ask for myself, it's more of a question for my wife. I need to convince her that it's worth cutting into our trip - she was looking forward to the honky tonks Friday night. Ticket prices are reasonable in what they call the balcony...I already tried that angle.

So, I'm going to be in Nashville this weekend. Was thinking of going to the Preds/Hawks game Friday night, but I'm not sure. Anyone been to a Predators playoff game - is the vibe good there?
