    Tricky sculpture to make. I’d want him shown in one of those moments where his face is contorted from making some memorable call (meanwhile his hands are folded daintily on the table top).

    The one where he's leaning back after the Kane-to-Eichel Hail Mary.

    Suspenders?

    Goal song is clip of Rodney Dangerfield insulting a cocktail waitress he met in Jersey?

    Stop teasing us with that 11 of yours!

    Terry Pegula saying "this is for you, Rick," at the Cup presentation.  Thought it would have been obvious!

    I said that the overall tenor of the conversation was very different.

    I’m not sure I’m any smarter than I’ve shown here. I don’t really keep score around on this board. I routinely forget what certain posters are known for saying. 

    And I explained.  

    Not doing anymore of this.  I assume the Bills are still getting penalized and killed.

    Who?

    I’ve been as active as anyone in discussing this here. I don’t recall more than a single shot being taken at unions, and that one came very recently.

    The angles I’ve been taking are that (1) these overruns cost the PSE lead negotiator his job and (2) PSE is gonna want to change the deal and socialize its losses.

    When a political opinion is put forth by a moderator who is famous for stifling any scent of political discussion that doesn't conform to his view, that political opinion will be scrutinized.  You know this.  You're smarter than this.

     

    Now.  Onto tonight's little disaster.  WOW do the Bills need some discipline.

    I guess I have always looked at it the opposite.  I am trading the prospect for someone who has already worked out and become a great player.  Isn't that better than having the hopes that a prospect will work out!!

    It is.  Same as trading a draft pick for an existing NHL player is.  I agree w/ you here.  I just don't like three of those four proposals and the fourth one (#2) creates problems down the road.

  6. None of those:

    1.  I don't want or need McDonagh.  I already have Johnson, who is only a year older.  Saros and someone else, we might talk.  There also are serious cap problems here.  How is it even possible?

    2.  This isn't a bad deal.  The price is right.  The cap hit isn't, unfortunately, because it doesn't give me room to maneuver later in the season, especially if my goalie situation, which I inherited, doesn't work out.

    3.  I'm not trading Krebs unless it's part of a much larger deal.  I have big expectations for him.  Plus, it creates the same cap problem (even if the situation in goal is solved by the addition of Ullmark).  And Ullmark didn't want to be here.  So bye, Felicia.

    4.  No, that's their crap for my better-than-crap.  I'll admit, I don't get to watch a lot of Western Conference hockey, but nah.  I'll hold onto Jost and Lybushkin.

    Quest Labs suck.  Had an appointment this morning for bloodwork, and I get a text that my appt is cancelled because location is closed for maintenance.  Next appt…next Wednesday.  Unfortunately, my plan does not allow me to go anywhere else for routine bloodwork. 

    Both of them are horrible.

    I am moderator for my neighborhood's page and at this point for every legit new member there are at least 4 or 5 guys with a name like Jason Brian (no last name, or a very common last name), whose actual name in their Facebook profile url is akeem.faruk. 

    Check out a YouTube channel called Pleasant Green.  The guy spends a lot of time busting scammers like these.

    Yup, and Kenny Hodge went from 8 to 88, and Brad Park went from 2 to 22.  That happened and Gretzky came in with 99.  

    ***** Brad Park though.

    This thread makes me long fit the days when all players wore  numbers 1-30.

    Yes not one player for the 70s yet.  I wonder if the  Sabres had a team rule regarding numbers ? 

    I remember when Ottawa had a similar rule (the limit was 49 I think) and it was a brilliant idea.  About 20 years ago maybe?

    It was super cool.

    I have ALMOST switched affiliations because of it.  It was that awesome having them here.  To the extent that I'll follow baseball anymore, which is little because of the shift ban and near-ban on pitchers batting (the last remaining great parts of the game), I'll still like the and Nats (Expos remnants). I'll always have my soft spot for the Cubs (family) , and I'll always have a soft spot for the O's, too.  But if the Orioles and Blue Jays meet up in October, I might just root for the Jays.  (I probably won't watch any of it, though, because of aforementioned objections to the game itself.)
