  1. If they win the remaining 10 in regulation they will have 93 points. Likely enough. Lose 1 in OT - 92 points is possible. 91 points is not likely to cut it. There are enough.
  2. Horrific tragedy. We have 2 bridges across our harbour between Halifax and Dartmouth. The older one opening in April 1955 - extensive repairs and upgrades over the years. The 'new bridge' opened in July 1970. We have gates to stop traffic. We have 'rock islands' at the base of the towers at the water end (designed to take any hit from a ship - no direct hit is possible). We also have experienced 'pilots' that board every large ship the enters the harbour that is bound for the container port beyond both bridges. They drive the ships into and out of the harbour - probably not going to help in a power failure. The largest ships port at a new container pier that is at the outer edge of the inner harbour and the ships do not pass under the bridges. It is near the famous Pier 21 - where every immigrant to Canada up until about the 1970s entered the country for the first time. We take the safely for granted.
  3. Adams was charged with cleaning up the mess. Granato was charged with developing a young team. Adams is doing a bang up job - now that 6K has found himself. Granato and the young ones regressed a bit this year, but I maintain that the main reason for that was the decision to focus on the defencive part of the game. Both will likely have next season at least and probably several more.
  4. You could edit and delete the linked site link. That is goodly advice. I think. He better have been misquoted in the quote. Where did you find the quote? Some twit in Twitter ??
  5. And everyone assumed Jimmy was buried in the Meadowlands.
  6. The Sabres will be playing meaningful games into April. As long as there is a mathematical chance they have as good a chance as any other team that they are close to in the standings. There is still a lot of hockey to be played here. Never give up.
  7. Yikes. That 3rd period was probably the worst 20 minutes of Sabres hockey in 10+ years. Maybe ever. Oh, well. Who's next? If I were coachsie I'd put in 6K.
  8. I understand what you are saying. And I agree that we do need to know if his hockey style played a role. My point was addressing the debate in this thread between the two points that drugs and lifestyle played a bigger role than a history of head trauma and vise versa. In that sense it does not matter to me.
  9. My comment was not player based. More a general observation. Sure, study player deaths. We need to be better at recognizing issues that people are dealing with and helping them deal with them. A good friend took his life at 18. We were in High School - set to graduate in the spring. None of us recognized the signs. It shakes me to this day. 40+ years later.
  10. A young man dies by suicide. Does it really matter the underlying issues that lead to him taking his life? Not to me. We as a society need to do better. RIP.
  11. MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE SOMEBODY !! SWORDS !! Game is on SNW in Western Great White North, but you know where to find it if you really want it ... *pirate satellite - orbiting your living room*.
  12. He did change the name back to Hornets.
  13. I'm a gonna say it ... she can't sing. I suppose that does not matter atoll, eh !!??
  14. The Sabres meet their expansion sisters in yet another ... MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE SOMEBODY AND SOMEBODY ELSE !! SWORDS !! The game is on SNP on the left hand coast of Canada, but you can get it, if you really want it.
  15. Noone would have guessed you'd come with this post. (insert winkie thingie here)
  16. 23:00 game time here in NS .. way past my bedtime. Some of our European brothers and sisters may watch as they get up. Anyway ... MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE EVERYONE !! SWORDS !!
  17. I agree. I never said it was KA deciding to call up Levi. I did say that this situation is KA admitting, without saying or doing anything, to the fans, the coach and himself that his Comrie signing was a mistake.
  18. All good points. KA has admitted a mistake on his part in signing Comrie, who by all accounts is a great guy. He has racalled a rockie instead of a vet with the playoff chances dangling by a thread. He trusts Levi more, which is the only logical way to think. It's a preasure cooker for Levi to be thrust into a literal must win game - no matter when he plays. I am guessing he will get Vancouver. It's a chance for him to shine and could be a motivator for the whole team. On the other hand, it could all just as easily blow up in their collective faces.
  19. He's got the next game. Hope he runs with the opportunity.
  20. That sucks. But it's not a disaster. The margin for error was 3 games. Still have a 2 game margin. Who's next ? They will get that win and roll tide.
