Good post. I was just thinking what he would think reading the bi-polar comments of frustrated Sabres fans. Myself included.lol

When all these team reps and G.M.s get a hold of this kid and start giving him the big sell I'm betting he goes back to what he knows which is Bawsten and the Bruins. Sucks to be us but family is important to him and having them close means something. Lets hope Eichs influence makes an impression on him and he signs here but why get worked up to be let down.

Also it was reported yesterday ( T.S.N. I think ) that when he met with the leafs there were representatives of a few Canadian companies in the room ready to sign contracts for endorsement deals. Canadian tire being one of them. Not sure how true this is but its what I heard on sportradio. The money he turned down in endorsements alone if he played in Toronto dwarfs the 16 million or so that he lost by signing in Tampa. So he walked away from quite a bit of moolah which is admirable.

Muir of the same ?

Didn't like the way Cooper was using him was something I had heard ?

Yes

Kurri also had Wayne. :P That helps

Brother in law bless his heart bought me a slug hat. I still haven't worn it to this day. If there was an ounce of something redeeming in that design the hat might be worth something one day. As it is now I'm thinking of giving it to someone down at the homeless shelter. I also recieved a slug shirt on that same birthday from someone else turning the screw. I did try that one on.

This shite follows you around its hard to believe its always a misunderstanding or someone trying to shake you down. There's a reason its always him. There's over 800 guys in this league and aside from 1 or 2 D.U.I.s a season you don't hear too much of this stuff. But with Kane you seem to hear it. Why is that ? He's got to grow up and take responsibility for the situations he finds himself in. Man-child needs to man up.

And from the article. ' Don't sleep on Pu'. :blink: Shitt the bed much ? Not sure he'll pass the smell test. o.k. its out of my system. I won't joke about the name til he makes the team. Certainly not to his face. or the shitt might hit the fan.

Everybody happy ?

I hear the talk on sports radio here on the west coast all the time where they say how much of a shitole Buffalo is and its always when talking to reporters out of Toronta with a nudge nudge wink wink kind of thing or an inside joke but its very common. Today the guys from sportstalk 1040 who are currently in Buffalo were saying how Buffalo is the best hockey market in the U.S. bar none. It was largely based on the tv ratings but I was pleasantly surprised that for once they had some nice things to say about the city. I've never been to Buffalo but its always a sore point for me when I hear some talking head talk trash about Buffalo. Being a fan of the team most of my life makes me want to drop the gloves when I hear that shite.

Will a sock do ?

cool move gmtm. git er done.

That was great. Very unsightful. :P

agree 100%

The last waltz ?

That pretty well settles it.

See my post above. Grain elevators/silos.

Apparently wheat king is a term used to refer to the big grain silos on the prairies.

Grew up with the Hip like many others and I suppose its a cliche but their music was the soundtrack to our lives. Only saw The Hip once and was in awe of Gordie and how in the midst of a song he could morph into an encyclopedia and veer off onto some sidestreet and sing about the undulating blubber of a blue whale while the band jammed on around him then back into the song without missing a beat. So entertaining and tight from years on the road. Hopefully I'll get an opportunity to see them again. As to the Bruins sweater I'd heard Harry Sinden was his uncle or godfather. Not sure its true but it makes sense. Stay strong Gordie.

And I actually felt bad for Miller when Sid scored the winner in the gold medal game instead of feeling ecstatic that Canada won. Weird. Soon got over that feeling but I know what you mean.

0.k. Thanks

I miss the ' like ' feature.

The sportster ( not sure what exactly that is ) is basically calling Risto a bust among others in his draft class in a recent article. If I knew how to post a link I would. For those with interest make like Sherlock.
