  1. This is gonna be a butt-kicking tonight. Maurice, Tkschskaksch, and co. had better fire up the team on the plane home.
  2. There are serious implications for The Lord's Prayer with this--it is "thy," not "your," even in modern-day English. (I'm not kidding, I wrote a mini-paper on it once.) The distinction is ancient, as well; the Austrian Jewish philosopher/theologian Martin Buber titled his seminal work "Ich und Du," not "Ich und Sie," implying that Jews, as well as Christians, *choose* the second-person *informal* pronoun to address God! It is not a coincidence and it is pretty amazing when you think about it. (Or at least when I think about it.) I have absolutely no knowledge of Arabic, so I don't know what the third major Abrahamic religion does there, but maybe @Sabres Fan in NS can chime in.
  3. And it makes the Thompson and Cozens deals look even better.
  4. Caulfield $7.9x8 with Montreal.
  5. Back in the day when video game franchises were proliferating ("Joe Montana Football," "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out," "Magic Johnson's Fast Break," etc.) I really wanted one named "Buffalo Sabres Dump-n-Chase Hockey." What is it with this team and the dump and chase?! It's like it's in a DNA pattern or something.
  6. Cozens is the one who already is there, I think. I am opening my mind a bit on Mittelstadt--I haven't demanded a trade in a while--but while the Sabres need C depth, they need D depth more, and if the right trade is there, they should take it. @MarvinSavoie's disappointing appearance in the Calder semifinals (and yes I am aware of the BN opinion piece stating that it was unfair to paradrop him in there--which is one of the reasons why I asked whom he was replacing in the Rochester game threads)--does mean that the Sabres need to pay a little more attention to C depth, though. I can acknowledge that, too.
  7. That was the SAME YEAR? I am getting old. It's all getting mixed together.
  8. Not finally. He had already done the same thing with Disco Dan before. But yes, not disgraceful at all.
  9. Here you go, folks: http://www.whowins.com This site hasn't been redesigned since the Web as an infant, but it does have the stats.
  10. I'm not counting the rats out based on one game. Especially with the better goaltender.
  11. Somehow I'm not sorry to have missed it. I think five or ten years ago I would have wanted to know what happened.
  12. I would be much happier trading the 13th pick for a player than I would be trading a defenseman for another first-round pick. I don't mind moving 13OA at all.
  13. The Sabres fan in me tells me that this is wrong. (98, 99, 06, 11...)
  14. I am the most casual Bandits fan you can imagine, but I do like Buffalo teams and I am glad when they succeed, whether it be St Bonaventure making the NCAA basketball tournament, or Niagara hockey doing well, or whatever. For those of you who are Bandits diehards, I am so happy. You supported this team, went to games, some of you subscribed to streaming packages, all that. And I am very, very happy for you! Congrats!!!!!
  15. Of course we do! The threads about "wrong brother" on this site have been legendary (and fun, and maybe it's time for another). Once in a while (e.g., Reinhart) the Sabres get it right.
  16. This conference keeps getting easier...and just at the right time.
  17. Just google NASCAR and hit the news tab. Bonus points if you go back to the tweet that started it all.
  18. JPEG was upset in the third round in the French Open. That is way early for her.
  19. The discussions? They won't end ever.
  20. As it should be. That's good soccer. Yeah, you've gotta show your work on that one, matter. It's not 2001 anymore and there was a major rebellion this morning, apparently, because of cultural (not political) stuff.
  21. So no gender reveal party?
  22. I'm not saying I'm on board with the idea--I'll flatly say that I am not (and they can take him at 13 if he's that good)--but thank you for at least providing some concreteness to the discussion. Great albums. It also took 1980s me WAY too long to distinguish Mark Knopfler from Bob Geldof. I think it was the fs.
  23. Your first paragraph continues to argue irrelevant and tangential incorrect info (he was NOT a regular that year), and your second paragraph supports what I'm saying. You know I love you, but are you arguing just to argue right now? There's bouncey-ball on! Or even the last episode of Ted Lasso, which is much more excellent than the 20th pick in 2023 is likely to be.
