  1. My wife is a teacher of 24 years in Charlotte NC. They make approximately 60% less.than teachers in NYS. So if you'd send us the $13, it would really help. Yes, we pay for supplies too.
  2. It doesn't bother me anymore that athletes make a lot of money. They are part of an entity that brings in a certain amount of money and they receive their part based on their value to the team paying them. Kind of like Actors/Actresses. I had friends and family that would say they're not going to the movies anymore because they're sick of how they act and they aren't supporting that anymore. Then I mentioned look, you're not paying them millions, you're paying $13 for them to entertain you. Put it into context. BTW, what athletes go through is actually quite brutal. You complain about Von, yet if you think for just a minute about what happened to him and what how difficult that was, to then hurry up and get back on the field, it's not for normal people.
  3. I don't post enough for anyone to remember me or know what my sentiment is. I will tell you I'm an "eye roll" fan when it comes to blowing everything up and firing everyone. I respect the injury issues and that it's valid. However I just don't get the feeling DG is a coach we'll regret departing from when it happens. I like him and I think he's developed a handful of guys. However, we don't compete every night and I'm bothered by it. We had some forwards have career years and still missed. I don't get the feeling things are or would have come together had the injuries been less significant. For me, it's not about squeaking into the playoffs and I think DG could do that. I want to compete for the cup. I totally get that the roster must have several changes/additions. As I mentioned, forget that Ruff was here for so long. I think he's the type of coach to elevate the compete level without the players hating him. Which could be the case with other available veteran coaches. I really don't see the downside, because, I just don't see us holding our heads in our hands saying how did we let DG go. It's time for change, IMO and Lindy is the type of coach I'd do it for.
  4. I'm really surprised at the amount of posters against it. Lindy is a legitimate NHL coach and we need that. It's not about nostalgia for me, I don't care about that. If Lindy shows he still has the desire, I'd go that way. When the Bills sucked, we were in this constant cycle of not knowing if it was the players or the coach. I'd like to eliminate one of those. Let's be honest, we like DG but we're not going to ever say, oh man we let a great coach leave our building.
  5. I've never once thought Skinner only cared about his stats.
  6. I'll have to look up the numbers but the bolded doesn't sound right.
  7. We won't have games in hand if we don't play them all.
  8. Then the NHL wouldn't be able to pick where the players go. I meant come out with the stack of team plaques that were fairly drawn prior.
  9. Samuelsson is the type of player we would be trying to trade for.
  10. Went to the game tonight in Charlotte. Jost was the best player tonight IMO. Kulich, Rosen and Rousek were very noticeable throughout. I was surprised at how well Jobst played, he flies around and was involved in a lot of good things that happened.
  11. But some vacuums are also blowers.
