Eleven

This is the beginning of a small winning streak. Not just that they scored, but WHO and HOW it was scored, in front of a sellout home crowd. This is the stuff that builds confidence.

It's ok. That stuff works itself out eventually. (Prolly not this season though.)

This is every hockey team ever. Dammit Skinner! That was IN!

You just can't credibly tell me that this team doesn't play with urgency or grit. You just can't. Do they fart off some games? Sure. But generally, no.

Duff giving Marty the business about never getting any Lady Byng votes was hilarious.

This is class all the way 'round.

There it is.

That, I doubt. But thank you for explaining Chris Ford.

You can see the string on his left arm. Amateurish. Or kneel during the anthem. Again, to me, it's the same thing. I can't say it's ok for Kaep and not for this guy.

This is the same franchise that retired 16 and 18. You should be used to the low bar.

I have classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and this is getting annoying. Why the Sabres didn't take my personal schedule into account this year is beyond me.

Who was he?

You're going to report Shrugging Elmo to a moderator?

Well, @Thorny, what do you disagree with? Or are you just giving out red Xs today?

And that would be the right thing to do. He isn't some petulant first-round pick from Tampa, he's a role-playing vet who has kind of earned the right to determine his future.

Well, good.

Engerland next year. At Tottenham Stadium against the Titans. I think we're the ones losing a home game, too.

Yeah I know that the first amendment only applies to government intervention...not my point...

But is he free to *not* express himself? And if we react to his absence of expression the way we are, is it truly freedom?

Forced speech is not free speech. If I'm going to support Colin Kaepernick sitting the anthem out, I have to support Provorov sitting out warmups. Doesn't matter that I'm a BLM and LGBT supporter. Forced speech is not free speech.

It's the right move for both the team and the player.

We should have a coffee next time I'm at the Bradford Denny's. Not kidding,

You got what you wanted.
