Sabres Fan in NS

The Sabres are not retaining salary to get that pick. They are retaining it to get the additional prospect, or better prospect.

This election is turning very ugly and it is starting to look like the early election call may very well backfire on Trudeau. For the first time in 20 years I am not going to be voting with my heart, but using my head and strategery.

I have not visited this thread since it was rightfully moved off the main board. Looks like that was wise. Did @Eleven ban anyone yet? I think the last few posts would be his justification, but anyway. I will just leave this here ... https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/8/29/israel-offers-covid-booster-vaccine-for-ages-12-and-up I am not saying anything about it.

Oh, man. Just saw this ... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-58379715 RIP Scratch.

It does not matter that the Soviets cheated by sending 'professional' hockey players to every Olympics. They did not win the gold every time.

This was a huge band in my High School days. Good Canadian rockers ... from Halifax, no less. So many great ones to choose from, but I really love ...

Clapton said that JJ Cale was his hero and inspiration ... I love JJ. RIP JJ (yes I know he passed a number of years ago now) He has influenced many ...

I liked it much better when the Olympics were the holy grail of amateur sport. And spare me with the Soviet Union players were not amateurs nonsense.

It did. For fully vaccinated. We can't go down there, as the US boarder is closed to Canadians (land boarder only, I think) which is probably for the best for now.

Just kidding ... You can stay @Buffalonill, but be prepared to get bashed and you may not want to say much anti Bills stuff in this thread. If you can't do that then it is best if you take your non Bills fan stuff somewhere else. You must understand that, right?

Tell me something ... why are you still hanging around a thread that is clearly for Bills fans? Asking for a friend.

I know, but just having some fun. Don't know much about Moose Jaw. Bobcacaygeon is very nice. I have been there and in the Kawartha Lakes area many times in my late teens and early 20s, but have not been in forever. Now Baddeck is absolutely stunning. The 'start and end' of the Cabot Trail and the Highlands. I would spend a lifetime there. It's a darn shame that I have not been more often over the last 20+ years, since it is only about 5 hours away from me. Believe me NS is so beautiful it's hard to pick a 'most beautiful' or favourite place.

If the Bills win the Superbowl he probably won't walk. He'll gladly sign as a backup stud to try to win another one. Maybe he would sign if the Bills get to the SB, but don't win, to exact revenge. If he goes at the end of the season the Bills will have to figure something out, which is what I suspect will happen.

There you go.

Do we have any idea when this meeting took place? I would say it would have to be at least a week ago and probably longer ago. Time for Jackie Boy to hire a new agent and fire the old one (I still think that it's possible that jack was fired by his old agent). Maybe that idiot tweet was right after this meeting, which was about 2 weeks ago, I think. Assuming this meeting happened some days ago everyone is running a very tight ship, if this is the first time it has hit the Twitterverse.

DON'T CLICK THAT LINK WHATEVER YOU DO!! IT'S A TRAP!!

You guys need to read and listen to @That Aud Smell more goodly. He is very smart and speaks very goodly. Clearly too. Just a few posts before yours he gave great advice.

Fantastic speculation here, Bob!! That's the way you do it. I want my MTV ... I want my MTV ... 😎 Now, Curt. I will cut you some slack here, 'cus you are pretty new. I have to say that this is terrible speculation on your part. Now go back over there and think about how you can jazz this post up. Okay?

Great!! I suppose they had to let you cross the boarder, being a US citizen, eh? Also fantastic advice that should be well understood, but often isn't.

So, basically we have a meeting with Jack, his agent (suddenly, seemingly, former agent after this meeting) KA, Assistant KA (probably), the Pegula(s) (maybe) and a lawyer for the NHL and a lawyer for the Players Union. Sounds like a rip-snortin' good time. Maybe I am jumping the shark here, but I am really thinking this thing is going to some sort of arbitration. I am not sure what an arbitrator could rule on? A medical proceedure? I wouldn't think so. Maybe we have some kind of claim of breach of contract? If so, which side? Maybe both? This is great!! Better than the Y&R. Way better.

Hey @Eleven our guys lost 2 - 1 today, but that goal has them out of the basement of the EPL. The Gunners are in last spot now, which is great and would only be greater if Man U could be down there.

It's all very confusing, but in that media release nonsense it seemed that the agent was pushing for the fusion surgery and said the Sabres agreed to it. Which is different from what Jackie Boy wants ... disk replacement surgery. At least that is what I remember. Of course, one must understand that my memory can't be relied on in these things.

Well, maybe Jackie put him up to it and now he thinks it's a bad plan. For all we know the old agent could have fired Jackie Boy's ass because he is a pouty faced snot. I bet you that's it.

Nope a second TD pass by Josh. He looks to be in fine form.
