Sabres Fan in NS

A paperback writer ... travel style like Bill Bryson. Geologist ... facinated by ancient rocks and would devote an entire career to the facinating Ice Ages (we are in one now, technically, but that seems to be changing as the perma ice and perma frost is changing).

6 years at $6,000,000 for Linus does not seem right. I like the Power draft. Your trades may work for the big two forwards, but I love the Risto trade ... DROUIN!! 😎

Hazard has Belgium up 1 - nil at the half. +++++ That goal holds up and Belgium are through to the quarter finals. No repeat by holder Portugal.

Hazard has Belgium up 1 - nil at the half.

I would steal the Habs *interim head coach* (not Richardson, although he seems to be the real deal too) in a heart beat, but I don't think we will get the chance.

How about oldest Sabre fan? My money is on @PASabreFan, but not by much.

Probably even this one.

Belgium and Portugal up next. Will CR7 be able to will Portugal past a very good Belgium side? @Huckleberry ... best of luck to you, my friend. I hope you have reason to celebrate.

The Dutch are out in a lackluster effort. 2 - 0 for the Czech Republic. Woof!!

@PASabreFan and his dream has inspired me ...

I was so hoping that you would say Lugosi, but then again he was a Bela. And I hear he is dead ...

I really am an idiot. Forgot all about extra time in the elimination rounds.

Italy made it through 2 -1 with all the goals coming in stopage time. The match was 115 minutes long ?????

+++++ Why are they still going in the 101th minute ?????

ITALY In the 95th minute ... It's holding (for now ... )

WOW!! Taken back ... Still not a fan of VAR.

Be still my heart ... Austria 1 Italy 0 In the 67th minute

I'm soon going to be back into diapers.

The Italians are a great side, but are often very frustrating for their fans ... Nil - Nil against Austria at the half.

We hosers in The Great White North speak English much more goodly than yous in the USA.

Denmark is through to the quarter finals in convincing fashion. They will meet Netherlands or Czech Republic up next. They may have a chance against the Czechs, but that would mean that they were to upset Netherlands in the 16 match. I can't see them beating the Netherlands in the quarters.

The elimation matches start today. In the early match ... Denmark leads Wales 2 - 0 in the 57th minute. I had hoped Wales would pull it off for *reasons*, but this is not a huge upset if the score holds. At 4:00 PM (ADT) we have Italy and Austria. I expect Italy to have little trouble with the Eastern Reich.

I have said it before and I will say it again ... this is the year of the Habs. Monteal will win in 6. Which, means that they will win it in Montreal and it will be even more insane than the final clinching win night. MUST WIN!! GO HABS!!

Let me think about this for a bit ...

It is fantastic that Montreal won again. It is great that the Cup will be contested for in Canada again. I really do feel that the Cup will be back home in Canada. To be honest, the only US based team that I want to win the Cup is Buffalo. The only Canadian based team that I never want to win the Cup ever is The Great Satan, but that should go without saying.
