Way! Wow!

As predictable as bringing in players who do "want to be here"? I mean, we have 12 years of evidence of the latter type of player and I don't think that parameter is working out so well. Something about the definition of crazy is... What kind of player wants to be here right now? Likely not one motivated to win because we ain't been winners in a long time. So, how about trying something new, like a conscription model or viewing big-money sports contracts as they really are: volunteer slavery. You, NHL player, are my slave and you're going to play here and do the best you can unless you don't want the benefits of being an NHL slave.

Playoffs here we come!

Trade him while he's making a come back!

Adams needs to make some significant moves. Keep Mitts but trade Tommy Dangles and Power while their value is still high. IMHO they're duds who, along with Skinner, are weighing down the team.

What do you suppose 12:20 signifies?

Not a wit of this has any bearing on the actual meaning of the word or how it can be used.

comeuppance Add to list Share /kəˈməpəns/ IPA guide Other forms: comeuppances Comeuppance describes a fate or punishment that's deserved, like when an arrogant trash-talking quarterback fumbles the ball on the last play and loses the game for his team. Comeuppance began as a term that meant "present oneself for judgment by a tribunal." That was in 1859. You can picture an accused person approaching a judge, or "coming up" to the front of a courtroom. Guilt, innocence — comeuppance can be either, and it can apply to things beyond the justice system. Nowadays you'll most likely hear this word describe something bad. If someone gets a deserved punishment, you'd say "He got his comeuppance." So UPL, after going through the trial of the Three-Headed Monster™ and the scoffing and scorn of the media and the fan base, has received his reward as being proclaimed the number 1.

I recognize if people use it these days, it has a negative connotation. But I think the etymology makes a lot of sense in context if you ignore that aforementioned connotation.

Someone needs to send Meatballs a nice, high-quality greeting card with this message in it. The crowd was into it because the team was into it. So simple.

Wow. That was satisfying to watch. I almost can't believe I watched this Sabres team gut out a win like that. Have to admit I've been on the fence regarding UPL's comeuppance, and I was nervous in the shootout, but he stonewalled them. Best players were Greenway, Dahlin, Clifton and, wait for it, KREBS.

Nathan Gerbe did that.

He didn't need to over-commit to the attempted block to his right.

WTF UPL.

For Pete's sake, Dan, can we get just a little bit of drama when we score? When they boot Meatballs I hope he takes Dan and that smug creep Duff with him.

That is a good idea. Rather, this gives me good, or maybe not so good, ideas.

The bolded is a great way to position the Meatballs.

The challenge is that Adams let this go for too long. Dahlin's on-ice fits are symptomatic. Any veteran, say like an Eric Johnson, are going to come in here and try to grapple with the culture, but the culture has such deep roots that Adams would have to ship off over half the team and replace them with right-minded vets if he expects that tactic to work. And half of the remaining roster would have to buy-in to the move completely and immediately, or, once again, there will quickly develop factions in the locker room.

Right?!

It's because he didn't go along with the plan. Doug Allen was our RJ of anthem singers and look what they did to him.

Is Sabrespace advertising gambling sites now?

Heckle it is!
