  1. Generalizing. Always a good way to win a political debate.

     

    Debate or joke? Sure can't tell by the op. But what I have heard form his fellow soldiers is pretty incriminating. I'm more than willing to give the man his day in court an disprove these claims and give him his due or see that he is in fact all of that and then, give him due.

    Personally either way, whatever side you're on I find it classless to be making a joke out of this. Men died. And now even more of ours will.

  2. At first I thought we gave up too much, but I just read Darcy also got the Taliban's first round pick in 2015 and second in 2016. Nice.

     

    (I guess I should add that, in all seriousness, it's a great day for Bowe and his family. Republicans can crap on it in 3... 2... wait, what's that Jim? They already have? Huh.)

     

    I really don't want to but I feel I need to. So you and the dems are ok with returning five top soldiers to the field for the Taliban. In exchange for someone who by all accounts so far decided to ignore the chosen path he took, the oath he took, walk away from all he served with, denounce his citizenship, cost many others lives to those who were killed looking for him, with yet another blind eye by POTUS to the constitution and yet you managed to be sly about this huh?

    Pretty much why I refuse to discuss politics around work or message boards. Enjoy.

    I've been told the Sabres won't do this, but I'll admit that I haven't really dug into it.

     

     

    Can't transfer.

     

     

    Are we sure about this? I just recalled that I've seen ads on Craigslist for season including ownership rights. I would assume that meant transfer or ownership not just obtaining tickets for the season.

  4. I am renewing because I would never get my seats again. Front row club end zone. As for the annual price increase? I don't give a flying ###### about it as they are giving it right back to me. I will care about the year after when they again hit me and don't give me a rebate. I was quite pissed about the increase last year as well. Some other message board that I no longer frequent told me to pipe down it was no big deal. It was to me in light of the increased the year before also. They have made my tickets very, very difficult to sell if I need to and I sell about five games a year.

     

    Eleven, have the rights transferred and find a new mate or two or three to break it up.

    Well, since that is a thread about the "NHL Draft," and this is specifically about ONE aspect of the NHL draft...it seems obvious that if you want to talk about the Islanders deferment of their pick, you would come to this thread, rather than sift through 60 pages of other stuff that have nothing to do with this specific subject.

     

    I never understood that here, that is the point of a message board...to open threads on different subjects. Why be so broad and cover 100 different subjects in ONE thread that is 60+ pages, rather than open new threads for different subjects? Makes no sense.

     

    That's why TBD has grown so much since I started following back in high school 14 years ago. And it continues to grow and be great.

     

    A perfect example is that NHL draft thread that is 60 pages long. What if people just want to discuss the Islanders pick, while some others just want to discuss Sam Reinhart vs. Sam Bennett? Or someone else wants to compare goalie prospects? That right there alone is 3 different subjects being discussed in one giant clusterf**k of a thread, that becomes hard to follow.

     

    Just my opinion, which is not worth much...but I am sure there are others who share the same feelings.

     

    Well that's just great. Now that you've spoken up the thread police will monitoring you're move. Be careful friend. Be very careful. Don't let them get you.

    Boston was Detroit's b*tch this year. The Wings have the speed to push the tempo. They win by forcing Boston to make mistakes.

     

    But how often do we see the dominant team in the regular season become the other teams ###### in the playoffs? If I we're betting on it my money would be on Boston. Now I'm going to puke.

  7.  

     

    It'll be easy to get to the floor without Leino. He's done. I'd bet on it.

     

    I think pretty highly of GMTM. I thinking that the day after the season locker room clean out they put an envelope with a big fat check in it and Ville is never seen in North America again. If he doesn't get rid of him that quickly (league rules permitting) I will think less of him. You can over pay anyone and get more out of them than what we get from him.

  8.  

     

    FIgure another $1 increase for 300 level seats and we're talking $2,246 a pair, $82 more. Whatever.

     

    Ya right whatever. The last couple seasons have not been just a buck for me. Mine was $16 per pair for this season. They better not be pulling that chit again for next season on my seats. Please.

  9.  

     

    Yea, they'll just buyout a guy who has good trade value...

     

    Yes to avoid that recapture penalty down the line should he retire. And he looks like he wants to retire NOW.

     

    So Ehrhoff is our new whipping boy heading into the offseason?

     

    Leino will be gone, Staff at the deadline so ya, this guy is my nominee. Unless he gets back on track which I will admit could happen if we get three above average guys in front of him.

  10.  

     

    I thought he handled Jagr quite well tonight. At times he seemed to be bating Jagr to go one way and then just shut him down. The other Dmen seemed like they couldn't figure him out, but the Hoff had Jagr's number tonight.

     

    I will give you that. He did a good job containing Jagr tonight.

     

  11.  

     

    Ehrhoff will be bought out this offseason.

     

    You heard it here first.

     

    Lol it has been mentioned many times that this will happen. So you're not the first or the last to suggest it. But hey, get over yourself!

    And yes, I've been waiting to say that to you :=)

    Personally at first I laughed. Now I want it to happen because I see Erhoff as aloof a lot of times. But then again, if he is a bottom three d man he is probably just fine. But here and now he is obviously positioned higher than that and that may be MY problem with him. Feed him less minutes, make him a second PP guy and he may very well be worth his price. And with the length of his contract it won't take that long to position him in the proper role. Maybe as early as next season actually.

    Myers and possibly Risto and Zadorov as early as next year already ahead of him. If not just add one year and add Jake to that mix as well. Maybe not next year but the year after he will be ready. Erhoff is really frustrating me lately and I don't know if it's bonehead plays or my expectations of him, but his constant gaffes and lack of size/physical ability make me weary mor and more each day of him.

    This was nice. Except for the rude Tampa fans yelling "lets go Tampa" during it. Idiots.

     

    Don't forget the ignorant Canadian that yelled Go Leafs Go

     

     

    I haven't seen anything today. Does anyone know why Nolan benched the 4th line? I don't think I saw Scott, Deslaurier or Ellis the entire second half of the game.

     

     

     

    Reactions without having read what's written above:

     

    1. That Hodgson goal was created by ZG's INCREDIBLE work when Tampa had the puck. Holy ____, Zemgus was amazing there. I'm glad both of these guys are part of the future.

     

    2. Foligno was all over the ice. An animal. Keep it up, 82. Let's not regress (which has happened).

     

    3. Right after ZG's efforts led to the CoHo goal, Stafford forechecked like a maniac. Then, he returned to his usual self, as seen on Tampa's first (or was it second?) goal.

     

    4. I am so proud to say that I was at a game where the rare mid-game empty-netter was scored. The entire arena: wait, maybe, MABYE, it's gonna go? IT'S GONNA GO!!!!!

     

    5. On arena style: I loved that it was mostly organ and not other music tonight.

     

    6. Again, on arena style: You do NOT announce Willie O'Ree in the second announcement in a long break. He's Willie O'Ree, and you announce him instantly in the first commercial break, period. He got almost no applause, because we were already tuning out the announcer at that point. By the time we realized what the hell the announcer was announcing, it was over. It's Willie O'Ree. Not Bob Halkidis, you know?

     

    7. Ehrhoff skates like Lemieux. He's that deceptively smooth. (NO, I am not comparing his total game to Mario's, so just settle down.)

     

    It was a nice game to take my dad to.

     

    Zemgus should have gotten a star. What an effort he brought.

    In the season ticket holder surveys I have stated that there should be more organ like it used be. So I guess you're welcome lol.

    Erhoff and Hank had ugly nights.

     

     

    And on second thought the idiots that yelled anything during the moment of silence we're no doubt all Canadians. There to see Stamkos and yell go leafs go. Idiots.
