LOL All the Bona is butt hurt.

In defense, Bona fans trolling UB with a "we want UB" chant while playing Canisius will do that. Acting like you've been there before could have started with the team and school that's actually been there before.

If only we had drafted a franchise center to counter that.....

I saw the 1st period. Someone give me the condensed version. Whatinthehell happened?

It is from Ron Francis' point of view. He had a HOF career. As a center.

I dunno, man. there were Ron Francis projections for Sam. That's pretty lofty.

Inky, I never knew you were interested.... I'm flattered, but spoken for.

One more time this season where I clutch my pearls hoping Radko Gudas doesn't hurt any of our stars.

Out in public? Like while shopping? It looks incredibly douchey to me. But I am sure there are circumstances that justify it that I'm not considering.

I think the failure of Sam as a center is enough to be disappointed at some level. We counted on him from the get go to be a fixture at pivot even after we drafted Jack. But a top line RW is not at all out of line for a #2 pick. I think anyone here that said they weren't expecting an all star consideration level player out of that pick isn't being honest with themselves though. The hype was pretty tremendous. He's good. Better than he sometimes gets credit for. But certainly hasn't lived up to that hype. It's interesting that there is so much patience for Sam. Most times a player doesn't live up to the hype they are run out of town. The patience (or maybe acceptance) is good in this case. the team is better for his presence.

How does that relate to the NY gun bill?

One of these will still be competing.....

Home after 3 days in Baltimore. Had to drive because I was bringing equipment with me. That’s about as long a drive as I care to take solo. Very glad to not have to drive anywhere for a couple of days.

Minor alarm bells. Not major. Ideally you’d have knocked it out of the park and they would have canceled the interview with the last candidate. You did the right thing reaching out to them. Let’s them know you are sincerely excited and interested. And yeah, with a holiday stuck in there they might just be behind their timelines.

All this hub bub about Leafs fans. Let’s not forget the horrible reputation we had in Carolina.

Over.

My son bought last minute seats yesterday. Said they were cheap, but I don’t know what he paid. So there were still tix on the secondary market on game day. And he also said Sabres fans were outnumbered.

Interesting. i thought they looked too careful in OT.

My son and his best friend bought tix this morning. He said "cheap". Speculators gonna speculate still.

So. Much. This.

Happens all the time in the hockey threads on this site too. Criticism, even justified criticism, of popular players is always met with weird hyperbolic reaction.

Hell hath no fury like a fanbase scorned.

I watched a bit less than half of the game. My take away during the portions I watched was, Allen is not timid like Tyrod, and seems to have some success at making things happen. And after thinking about it while catching up on this thread it occurred to me that he probably most reminds me of Doug Flutie.

What disappoints me most about this bill is that, while unlikely to become law (and it is totally unreasonable in any way), it fans the flames of those who are wont to cry that the Democrats are going to take their guns away. It motivates the NRA crowd in big ways. Pointless and counterproductive.
