I'm surprised at all the love Linus is getting from Bylsma.
Why pull him after a win and 3 full days rest?

Kane definitely doesn't sound like a guy about to file a defamation suit.
Why on earth would he file a defamation suit?
His entire sexual history might have to be disclosed to the defense.
giving a possible witness list for a counter suit.

We just disagree. You can blame Raptor Jesus if you want but it's just as likely that the real reason so many people read and don't post is because they are afraid that people will jump all over them. PA made a statement (whether he was serious or not) that some people may agree with (or at the very least weren't upset that McDavid won't be playing for a while) and the mob mentality and feigned outraged jumped all over him. I would think that would give more people hesitation to join than someone bringing up our scaley savior.
Consider the nature of this community, asking people who play or have played hockey to cheer and be happy about injuries, is a little like asking the police community to cheer the death of cops in other cities because it might lead to more policing resources at home.
Woo.

I understand that and I know he doesn't need me to defend him, but I wasn't the one who turned it away from a hockey discussion to a discussion of morality, it was all the people wagging their finger at PA for what a horrible person he was. Just because my jokes rub some people the wrong way doesn't make me the culprit for dragging the discussion off topic. The reaction to his statements did it, whether it was feigned outrage or actual.
Nobody was fixing blame. It was Just time to move away from the entropy the discussion provoked. It happens. That's not entirely on you or me. Mods work hard to keep it a lively hockey board. I have empathy for what they do.
Keep in mind hundreds of non-posters read our thoughts too. If they want to know Sabres fans thoughts on McDavid - raptor Jesus might be their very last click, and may never post which would be unfortunate, because that creates less plurality of opinions, not more. Especially on matters of hockey.

He made a very nice play on the GWG, to be sure, but I thought until then he was pretty ineffective.
I thought played very well in his 8 or 9 minutes on Sunday. 3 shots a goal. Safe play otherwise. He never hurts the team out there.
The fact is, he is going to get little ice without power-plays or an injury.
For a rookie, pitching in.

I understand that, but a bunch of people claiming moral high ground and chastising PA for celebrating the injury of a player he chooses to root against while a bunch of other people pile on like self righteous do gooders isn't good hockey discussion either and if I feel like adding my two cents to defend PA or point out their nonsense I'll do it.
PAs been around a while. He knew what he was doing.

Somewhere, on a message board far far away, the Ghost of Dwight Drane is gloating over his prediction that Lindy would ruin Nichushkin.
Lindy has 4 lines rolling in Dallas. Nichushkin out of the 6 is a problem of feast, not famine.

Read the Game Preview ;)
nhl.com has him starting, at he's been the #1 goalie the last 2 practices
thanks.

I finally read through the rest of the McDavid injury thread and the thin skin of religious people never ceases to amaze me. It may be a hockey board but the influence of religion and people's morals were all over that thread way before I ever mentioned the all powerful scaley one, our lord and savior, RJ (Raptor Jesus not Rick Jeanerette). People were using their personal versions of morality to chastise PA left and right trying to assume some position of moral authority and claiming that he crossed some sort of line in celebrating his injury, so I decided to add my two cents and poke the bear.
Kudos to Whiskey and others for not leaving PA out to dry to face the self righteous morally superior horde alone though.
the McDavid injury discussion is a good hockey discussion.
Raptor Jesus is not a good hockey discussion. It is a great discussion on community sensibilities.
But not a good hockey discussion.
Is your mind open to that?

I'm hoping Reino shows more life tonight than he did in the last 2 games. Maybe the GWG vs the Isles will give him some confidence.
Samson? I was pretty happy with the GWG. No power plays limited him otherwise.
-
This game is a great reality check. The Sabres were mostly outplayed by the Islanders and won. (which is a great road win). But Tampa is really a very complete team. Hedman didn't play last time these teams met.
Stamkos-Hedman-Bishop that's a pretty good top 3.
A win here would go a long way, and with Tampa being 6-6-2 this is a 4 pt. game.

Why is Chad getting the start?
How do you know he's getting the start ?
-
X, I have too much respect for you. As such, I will stop posting 10 hour random videos in this thread.
Thanks. :)

That's Scotland, laddie!
I'm pretty sure it was of irish gaelic origin first. Lots of Mcdavid's in WNY/NPA

Not calling him McDavid is anti-Semitic.
How did the Hebrew name David get to Ireland anyway?
-
I guess you are intent to try to annoy me or others by announcing you have nothing to say and then posting 10 hr. clips.
I don't get it, but I do think it is intentionally being rude to the community wanting to discuss it.

I read it once. Among my all time favorites. I saw the commercial last night and look forward to the film. Reading it six times is something I've not the stamina for, however, as great as it is.
"Cast off thine eye. More intolerable than a fiend's glaring is a doltish stare!"
It certainly has its rewards. I don't think I could read many of the details of the whaling chapters again with pleasure, however.
-
it looks like you are not done. You had at least 2 meaningless posts to contribute.
-
25 more hours. How awesome is it to be looking forward to the next game!!!
This is disrespectful to Connor. Games should be cancelled.

I find this offensive. If you peek in this thread, you stay in this thread. There's no un-peeking.
A peek is like being a little pregnant.

I may have underestimated the force of McJesus on this board. Interesting. I am reminded of something Jack's dad was quoted in SI as saying when some reporter ball-washed his son in an interview. "What's he (Jack) ever done?!" What's McDavid ever done? You would think I wished for Mother Teresa to drown in the Ghaghara River. All I'm asking here is McDavid to pass out in a snowbank and lose all his fingers and toes to frostbite. Jeez.
Fingerless and toeless "Stumpy" McDavid is still probably good for 30 goals, 30 assists.

No, I'm praying for the aids and ass cancer. That not only eliminates them from the game against my team, it eliminates them from contention permanently,
lower body injury. The player gets scratched or just Tape an aspirin to it.

Ha. You've never witnessed a competitive youth soccer game then. Bloodsport.
Some of the ugliest human behavior I've seen has often been on the sidelines of soccer games.
Things that are AWESOME...
