Sabres Fan in NS

Take it easy. You have misread his post.

Easy there big guy. Don't ruin my pleasant Sunday afternoon, eh. I'll be ...

Interesting thought. I really don't think the Pegulas are planning on selling the team. They are inempt in one regard only, IMO, which is the fact that they have had no success in hiring people for the most important positions on the team ... GM and coach. I am not sure if they are ignoring advice or are listening to the advice of idiots. Maybe this time they have it right or maybe this time they will get lucky like with the Bills. I actually believe that there are worse owners out there. That guy in Ottawa, for example, although he seems to be staying out of everybodies way now.

Why should they get any love from Yahoo Fantasy Hockey Rankings ... they get no love around here and we are supposed to love them and all Sabres.

A man has died. Say what you want about him and his legacy. Why does it always have to be bash the Pegulas? I am not thrilled by many of the things thay have done as owners and the way they have run the Sabres. Mostly their clear inability to hire the right people in certain jobs. Maybe Ruff and Regier should have been kept all along? Who knows. What I do know is the Pegulas are trying and it's very unlikely they will end up in jail.

MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!! No Crosby. No Malkin. Maybe our top 2 lines are better than their top two lines and our scrubs and scraps are better than their scrubs and scraps and maybe our goaltending is ... nevermind.

I did not know that, not surprisingly.

'Only the good die young' ... Can't believe I quoted *that guy* ... hey, oh @PASabreFan ... Although I will say it's more likely I am quoting *this guy* ...

Weavesie, one should never dispute @ubkev in such matters, eh. Your take is pretty good too mind you.

Anyway ... Who's next ??

I hope and pray that he finds peace when he meets his maker. I hope his family does the same and in some way provides some restitution to the many victims of their crimes.

The Sabres have never had a 'Jack'. Not ever!! We have had a few Johns though and a few Jacques (which sort of counts).

Sent you a beer. Also, the return key is your friend ... lol!!

Who ??

Alright ... which one(s) of you(s) yohoo(s) is in Brampton, Vermont ?? I didn't even know that there is a Brampton in Vermont, but I am getting a lot of robo calls today.

Hey @Wyldnwoody44, When you make your way to Transylvania ... If you hitch a ride and a dude named Vlad stops ... don't get in the car. And if you see a sweet transvestite named Frankie hitch hiking you may not want to stop ... then again, you could do worse ...

The last 10, or so, posts are great. Well, some are ...

Today (September 30th) has long been known as 'Orange Shirt Day' in Canada. It was started by a grass roots movement to recognize the extremely horrific history of Canada's treatment of our Indigenous People, especially the sending of children to their graves (more commonly known as Residential Schools run by the Catholic Church). Countless never made it home. Just a terrible part of our past. Some very recent past ... the last Residential School closed in 1998. It is the shame of our nation. This year the Federal Government made today a statutory holiday for all federal employees and federally regulated industries. Today is the first ... National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. I am proud to say that Nova Scotia is one of only three provinces to also recognize today as a provincial holiday. Most businesses are closed and there are many events planned. Today in Halifax there is a mi'kmaq (local Indigenous People) flag flying from the top of the MacDonald Bridge spanning the harbour that separates Halifax and Dartmouth. The bridge is named in honour of our first Prime Minister who was an avowed racist and caused grief for many that never elected him. He was also the initiator of the terrible Indian Act in 1867, which is still in effect today, although changed quite a bit. We all no the truth of what happened ... what we did. It is time for the reconciliation. That flag on that bridge is part of it. My typing this post is part of it (very small part), as it is in the forefront of my mind. I have done some reflection today and will continue to do that. There must be justice in order to have a final reconciliation, but we are starting. Another great step that is long overdue is to ensure that there is safe drinking water on all reserves. I think we also need to give our native people more of their land back. And not just parts we don't need, or use.

MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!! I believe they will win tonight.

Zidane himself got quite a lot of it due to his heritage (his parents came to France from Algeria) and that he is a practicing Muslim. I agree on your second point, but it's not that much better in the US and Canada has a lot of issues with our Indigenous People.

He will not be going to the AHL. He will be fine. He will be finer than fine. It's well understood that John is not a leader of men. He is not a team first guy by most accounts. Dylan seems to be both.

I really don't know what to think about Quinn. I think it will be between #1 and #2. I am hopeful, so went with #2. I think on this team with this roster that is not a farfetched notion.

My roots are Austrian and Slovak (grandparents). I was born in The Great Satan (Toronto) and escaped to NS 23 years ago. My wife and I have spent much time in Bosnia and love it. One fine day we hope to retire (at least part time) there. We have many friends there. Being a Muslim in Bosnia means many different things to many different people there. Most are good people regardless of how they practice, or don't practice, their faith. We do not have many Bosnians here in NS, or in Atlantic Canada. Many end up in Ontario. The US has many Bosnians in several states. In case you are not aware and for clarity ... I am a reasonabe and reasonably practicing Muslim convert.

Thanks. And sorry PA for my rather offensive 'So?'. I get kind of worked up about this stuff.

Those dates must be taking the Olympic break into consideration, eh? I won't say what I want to say. This will ensure that this thread won't be derailed at post #2 ...
