North Buffalo

Sooner or later the other team will wake up when you sleep walk with them...

OReilly who? oReilly center 3rd line

Ironic 2 break downs on ranger d leave sabres open to cash in rebound!

Interesting statement. Book on Sabres play well for long stretches then break down and give up great chances. Not said but ends up in sabres net.

Grant, and Delo... but Grant first

do it.

Holy crap, on vacation not closely following games, now Larsson gone for the year and O'Reilly out... wtf. Bring up kids a let them play sit Moulson and Gorges or makes some trades for young talent and tank on. Time now to break out the tank avatars. http://www.sinaimg.cn/dy/slidenews/1_img/2011_12/18371_88298_680801.jpg

Agreed, not bas otherwise. Problem is I think all he really needs is a good goalie coach and that is on Murray. Reminds me of Bishop right before light bulb went on. He has potential but lets in too many critical head scratchers. Again... because the big if is can he be properly coached.... Murray paid too much. Still luv his passion and hope he can figure it out.

So now that Kulikov's back and OReilly are out. Timing couldnt be worse or it is some of this practically it has exposed this young team's lacknof depth and its killing them against teams like the bruins. Tough to warmtch but its ok if Sabres find a few more viable assets. ? do they find them in the draft, fa market or trade or all three and do you think Murray is more judicious with his higher round draft choices. Finally next year is about time some of these guys start paying off or is it more sit and wait.

Sad indeed just saw her cgi in latest star wars

One Buffalo... sarcasm

Agree, Saw it today action good, story line a bit redundant... meh.BTW saw my first Star Wars.. 1977, almost 40 years ago when I was in 7th grade, the same grade as my current 12 year old son... neat.

Yeh I missed the ban... oh the sacriledge. That is what clorine and filters are for and a drain.

Eh us Americans have taken it over. The women of my family are planning to return all the unwanted or wrong sized gifts and exchange them for more useless, er needed stuff that is on sale.... hence the return "boxes"

who says hes not... just didnt add that in. Merry X-mas

Beserkely CA made it in 2.5 days! Stuck only 1/2 an hour on Donner pass because idiot escalade slide off road, easy afterwards.

Left NYC last nite at 9pm, currently near Iowa City headed for Berkely CA. Wife and I sleeping and driving. Kids watching vids.

Hmm learned a lot in the last couple of days. Guess I think the politics thread is a lot tamer than most so while it may affect some i have hard time understanding it. I agree having both the Sabres and Bills losing for the length of time they have has worn on me too. I walked away from TBD a while ago because of the mismanagement of the team not the site. The rah rah one Buffalo is also irritating as a PR scam over an inferior product. I go there lurking for info on the Bills but only occasionally watch the team. Sabres I would have a hard time giving up on this site. The political discussion aside. I frankly enjoyed that part here, more intellectual discussion until the silly season took over. While I have been frustrated with lacknof clarity until recently of the mods intentions. Now that I understand better their views on the tone of things and cooling off and reevaluating period is understandable even if I think things could have been handled differently by SDS's designees. Upshot begrudgingly I am ok with whatever is decided.

I have had on ongoing pming conversation with nfreeman over this exact issue. Have to agree with Dark... if the explanation ahead of time was more transparent and a little more info on the decision msking process instead of pulling teeth from the other mods the agnst would not have been as bad. That being said this election has been unusually contentious and a few warnings over locking the discussion might have served everyone well. SDS, I understand better than some your time constraints, however a designee allowed to answer questions and elicit more of the members thoughts on the issue of the discussion and proper parameters would have gone a long way imo. The discussion got stupid at the end because of the elections intensity but once discussions return to issue oriented and process oriented info i think the angst will settle down. It does depend on how polarizing this admin intends to be... which will require ettic rules on this board to be enforced.., deleting inappropriate posts if need be. Again current events, process questions and policy choices are useful to members of this board imo. Name calling is not.

Even if it didnt cant on the road the next two days.

Ditto, sorry I missed it. Civility yes and openess is essential. Sorry I could not participate because of my schedule. Actually have more time between cases then when at home. I am mixed on the political thing here not because of the lack of civility though I think civilty is better for the board and some parameter of decorum should be followed. Hard in this climate when even our leader dont follow such practices. And as a hockey player, my first instinct is to verbally kick the crap outta the other side when i feel they have crossed that line of eticate. So to me while i enjoy the rough and tumble. Some ground rules need to be established to preserve the board.

Guys are just not practicing it enough. Make them both do it till theyre sicknof it "Herb Brooks style"

toc tic tic toc locked tic toc...

Cant stand the heat get outta the kitchen... not hating reality. just pointing it out or do you speak rusky.

Careful yous giuys, my Dad taught at the University of Buffalo, English Department... for over 35 years.
