  1. Don't think the sabres were that much at risk of being moved, but would be budget team still. Bills they kept in town for sure, Toronto Bills , how many would stop supporting that ? But I'll give them a B for the bills, but the sabres a C only, It took them 7 years to get the right gm in place. Might as well not have fired Darcy.
  2. Because they have to cater to the left, and that always sucks. On a side note, Aretha Franklin's funeral: I mean how much of a public figure she was, If I'm part of her family, I would be disgusted on how the funeral turned so political. I mean they decided she should be celebrated as an American icon but I think it got out of their hands to much. Instead of celebrating a great woman in the music industry, the aftermath is just so disgusting, and the press has a hand in it to. I mean very political figure in the back was portrayed as horny old men when Ariana grande was singing. And you got people using the stage to pull out their political agenda. proud they should be the press and everyone else.
  3. Boston's first line is what drives the rest of the team, that line is the best in hockey. I really don't think I can find any top line in hockey where all 3 players are so good none drag another down. Most top lines have a 1-2 punch, this line can play 30 minutes a night and the rest can clean up the scraps. Its their D though, I expected them to fall down last year, I mean Chara can't keep going right ? But yeah I'd like McAvoy.
  4. Strome and Galchenyuk have critical seasons this year, hope our 3rd line performs as well as theirs this year. Always like Dvorak, but if both Strome and Galchenyuk he'll have to become 2C, or they have to thin out their top line by playing Keller there.
  5. I know our prospect pool is rated high because of Dhalin and Mittelstadt mostly. But most rankings I see, they mention Samuelsson. Was he that great of a pick up for us ?
  6. I wonder, if they only screwed up with Schmidt. Maybe they should test the rest of the team also.
  7. Yeah its one of the things I don't like at hockey interview, how players call their teammates.
  8. Axl wasn't bad either when I saw him live with AC/DC.
  9. bit morbid but funny
  10. They actually need him, but he won't be fully 100 % after 5 months , so what is the point in having him suck and maybe put himself in danger of more injuries.
  11. Yeah but all the articles I read stated it was better to take a full year off to recover proper.
  12. I think Kessler is out all year no ?
  13. Don't see many other options, Allen might be the future but not ready, and McCarron didn't look better than Petermann.
  14. Don't know, they aren't even sure he would resign with them, seems a steep price to pay for the panthers.
  15. First of all I'm not upset, the overal tone of the movie just dissappointed me, and there are more black superheroes and superhero movies than Black panther. And its not just me saying this, I have black friends and colleagues over here saying it themselves. This movie worked more divisive than anything else. Blade, Hancock ( bit of a stretch maybe), Spawn. Those were some good black superhero movies to me.
  16. I will pm you tomorrow what I thougth about it all. Edit: ah it, for one I cringed, Wakanda is like Trump dreamland. They have a freeking wall, if black people like wakanda they should all vote for Trump. Lets just say Wakanda was filled with white people, the hole movie would be deamed racist as hell. Or lets say wth, you have 5 tribes but only the gorrila tribe is black, that would be racist to, you have black people making monkey sound, what movie could get away with that ? But because the entire movie is full of black people being Isolationist and protective its not racist ? In the end they go out and provide for misfortunate black people only in the end of the movie, might be my European view but its like Riyadh pushing out millions of dollars into Europe to promote Muslims in Europe. Would have been better to me if they had at least shown Wakanda spreading their tech and all to all religions and colours of the world. But this entire movie was about black empowerment and they failed. They showed more black bigotry than anything else. Also they forget about the real history of slavery, and that is that black people enslaved other black tribes to sell them to white Europeans in Africa. But that is a story better left out in a black empowerment movie. Maybe I'm just overthinking this , but its been in the back of my mind for a few days now. Edit part 2: Also Even as propaganda for black supremacy it would *fail*. Look at Wakanda: an ultra-hightech country ruled by one of the most primitive society types, a kratocracy , where the next ruler is decided upon violent duel. And it all only supposedly works out because they have a rare strategic resource nobody else has - without it, they would be nothing. If that underlying concept of "they didn't even achieve it on their own" isn't outright insulting to black people, I don't know what is.
  17. Speed and hands, I still wonder about well IQ in the case of watkins, route running and all.
  18. Nah, I'm going to refrain from a public debate about this, but If I feel like it I might pm you about it. But in my mind that entire debate is a hornest nest I don't want to get sucked in. There are just so many things both sides could take issue with but was nicely camouflaged.
  19. Just saw Black Panther, I'm a bit conflicted. If I turn my brain of, great action movie. After the movie ended I started thinking, Usually not a good thing. But the more I do that movie was racist in so many ways to me ....I started thinking and looking at it , and I think, both white and black people can easily have issues with this movie in ways it was never brought up in the mainstream media. That being said, also saw the rest of the marvel/dc universe. justice league wasn't as dark as I thought, Ben Aflleck is the worst batman ever. The flash sucked ( and I like the emo flash in the tv show). Gal Gadot is still hot, Jason Mamoa is eye candy for girls. Just no acting skills in DC, and Cyborg might be a good actor, but he only shows 1% of his body.
  20. I bet you'll see Allen throw many 'lucky shots' at the end of the game, but you'll miss a receiver like watkins.
  21. With the new helmet rules, wouldn't be that type be more protected ?
  22. I think they just like Peterman to much ?
  23. By the end of september, if It doesn't look good for Baptiste/Bailey in a top 9 spot. I expect our gm to see for trade partners. But also think we'll be seeing a trade before that, we have to much of the same. I can see a 3 for 1 deal coming soon.
  24. Why would you want to type Cruins ?
  25. Someone is planning the parade right ?
