But you cannot condemn the Sabres for hiring a former player in one breath and expnerate the Wings for doing so in the next. If there is a problem with Botterill, it has nothing to do with the 40 games he played here. And I suspect I could keep an analyst busy for quite some time.

Much agreed. He may or may not turn out to be a great GM, but the fact that he played for the Sabres (really, he had a cup of coffee here) has zero to do with it, is my point.

Sabres should hire a coach with significant USNTDP experience or something.

So you don't think a former player from the team is a good choice for GM just because he's a former player, yet you admire the Red Wings hiring Steve Yzerman as a GM? Your mind is a fascinating place, PA, I'll give you that.

Kodak anything hasn't had a good day in this area this century.

Didn't you have someone drilling nearby who did in fact hit a gas line? I seem to recall some discussion between you and Chz about it.

I'll remember the streak, my own streak (the Sabres were undefeated when I was in attendance), the win over the Penguins, and the meetup.

The juicy stuff is in Volume II, from what I can tell, so I started there. Yeah, that's pretty much what it's looking like so far.

What's going on with everything near you exploding?

Ma's got a really tough Thanksgiving coming this year. Half of the family are from Chicago; the other half, from here. So she'll have about 30 minutes in between games to get us through a holiday meal.

Dude has his own arena!

Some pretty big concerts, from what it seems in this thread.

What's the cringeworthy part? The flag in a practice facility?

Such is the age we live in.

There is a great article in The Athletic today about teams with high expectations which were swept by nothing teams. One of the featured teams is the 1992-93 Boston Bruins. I needn't tell you which the "nothing team" was.

"Lower level seats started at $475." WTF was the NCAA thinking?

Which is yours?

This is a disaster.

Didn't Lindsey Vonn give him a shiner a couple of years ago?

I looked at the link. I must be incorrect; I really thought that PSE had nothing to do with this. Hockey fatigue is a good point.

The Pegulas had nothing to do with this event. It was hosted by Canisius and Niagara, played in a building owned by Erie County, prices set by NCAA, etc.

Pittsburghis *****.

He still is a moron, but nice win.

Huh? What is "the other political party?" Name it. It begins with an R. And I think we've all explained why. And have you ANY idea how the Democrats hated--I mean HATED--Obama's immigration policies? Lastly. It's "crisis." With an i and an s. How people keep screwing this up, I've no idea. Maybe it's Southern schools. No. Of course not.

I should have written “little doubt.” The US has been ***** with South and Central America for over a century; I don’t see why this administration would be any different.
