Sammy's gonna beat the jack out of Jack.

Your last sentence exposes your real intent. Look, I like, maybe even love, the guy, but the team isn't about KO. And it has other vets who can contribute more. This doesn't exactly rank among the Sabres' worst moves in team history, to be sure, but it's not one of the best, either.

This was a bad move. It's not even about the money. It's about the roster spot.

I have so much going on today that I forgot to check in to the game. I always loved Samson. Rooting for him.

Larry Brooks would quote a scientist and then write that the formula for water is H3O. He destroyed his own reputation; his sources didn't.

Invoking Larry Brooks is a good way to ensure that no one reads the rest of the post. He's a quarter-millimeter above Bruce Garrioch on the credibility scale.

Tina Turner is dead. Yet Trea Turner lives. Life can be unfair.

IF that's the case, and it's an if, and IF they can't get a 2023 second (or even third) for his rights by working through his agent, and that's another one, then the right course is to just let August happen.

It was just fine 15 years ago. I can still enjoy hockey in "reg-def."

Not my thing. Caffeine isn't either. Or beer. None of them are lame.

It has NOT been a great playoffs, that's for sure. Probably we need to change up who starts the thread for each round here. OTOH there's a pretty good Law & Order on WE right now.

This is why we love you @inkman. Well, one of the many reasons.

For the love of all good in this world THIS THREAD IS ABOUT JOHNSON. TALK ABOUT MY JOHNSON.

Sorry--more on this theme even though the game is over--I'm thinking Kruger from Seinfeld. Or maybe even Ralph Krueger. Just kinda casually strolling out with a NYC-style dirty water dog in hand-to-mouth while a face-off is happening in one of the ends. No, I have not had any edibles.

VERY slowly.

How awesome would it be to see some Bears fan casually stroll out to center ice munching on a hot dog with like 15 seconds left?

And our friend John Daniel killed a few cells in mine. All good.

THAT's what got you thinking?! Inky, I think the rest of North America has been thinking it for a decade! That's why I posted what I did.

The character's name is Digory, not Allegory, and he's only in the first book in any meaningful way.

Eat a gummy or play some darts or something...a book? Books are good. How about a Narnia book?

Relax. I'm not the only poster who has commented that the WC semi is the slowest and least urgent semifinal in ages.

I have one of these. It's the only way I can find the bathroom in the middle of the night, especially if I don't want to put my specs on. It's very useful.

No, it really isn't. This series is SO SLOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW Florida is going to make Vegas play hockey.

Is there another team in this game? Most hockey games have two teams.
