Sabres Fan in NS

Thanks Punch. You're the best and you wear nice hats too.

To answer the OP question ... Yes. Samson can play 2C, but he won't be.

'75 was the most talented. They would have won the cup if not for Bernie. I do not believe that the '75 team was the 'best' iced. The 05/06 team was better balanced all round. 79/80 was more balanced and the last kick at it with the Connection intact. That said, different eras and different games, so it is hard to do a straight up comparison.

I saw this on the twitter, but it was a re-tweet by PH, so I did not want to cause a whole lot of nashing of teeth. Sad. Clear the track ...

That team was stacked. Bad luck and injuries ended their season 1 series win early. I have very little doubt that the 05/06 Sabres would have beaten the Oilers in the final quite easily. It is hard to say if the 05/06 or the 79/80 Sabres were the best shot at winning a cup. In 06/07 the team was the same and also was stacked and ran through the regular season. Something was not right when the playoffs started and one could feel that it was not going to happen. This is a reasonable take and the only team close was the 79/80 team. Hard to say which was better. Very close. Both lost in dramatic fashion in the semi-final to the eventual cup winner. In 05/06 injuries finished them and in 79/80 they did not have their Butch, or Denis.

And he didn't fail either.

The proper term would be Islamic, I think, but even Islamic countries refer to themselves as Muslim countries. The quotes were mine for emphasis. Islamic countries are the ones that have a majority Muslim population and are in some way following Sharia, which is just their interpretation of Sharia. In other words ... they just make it up. The most Islamic counties in the world are not the Muslim countries. Turkey is pretty good and better remain a secular country that is majority Muslim. Good examples of real Islamic societies are the Scandinavian countries and to a certain extent Canada. We do not have a Muslim majority (yet), so we will never admit to it.

Not a lot unlike my own story. I grew up in Toronto and had family in Buffalo. Grew up loving and watching the Sabres. Moved to Halifax over 20 years ago and have not looked back. I have not returned to The Great Satan since my escape and I will not even if forced at gun point.

How could I miss the fantasticness of user name @msw2112 ... awesome!! Now I know for sure that 2112 will absolutely be the year of the Sabre. What a great year that will be. Is the orchestra ready ... it's Overture time!!

This appears to be happening ... https://twitter.com/PR_NHL/status/1280256660137824258/photo/1

EHLERS!! ? Bring him to me. Make it so, Kevie Boy.

Why would the Sabres not be interested in bringing in a guy like Dudley? It is mind boggling.

Where are you in BC? Did not realize you were one of us. Welcome!! You hoser!! Funny you should say that about a Muslim country. That one woman is in UAE right now. Possibly the least "Muslim" (I don't think that is a real word) of all the so-called Muslim countries.

Wholly crap!! As in fully crap!! That is insane. It better be $5 million / year and if they win a Super Bowl in each of the 10 years he gets the rest.

Gives them a legit chance to win several more in that 10 year window.

Not to make light of this whole pandemic and all, but I must say that I find women wearing masks to be very mysterious and rather sexy, kind of like a veil. Well, one woman anyway.

The Premiers of the four Atlantic Provinces have very quickly gone from doing a great job to ***** idiots. On July 3rd they opened up the "Atlantic Bubble" and allowed residents of the four atlantic Canadian provinces to freely travel within them without self-isolating for 14 days. Since then all four provinces have gone from zero cases for at least 3 weeks to several new cases. ***** brilliant. On top of that our illustrious Premier of NS has said that border service agents will not be turning away cars with US plates on them. Like Dude, WTF!! You just signed all of our death warrants.

Joe at his very best in 1977 ...

From the last concert with Mick Jones ... You could see that Paul and Joe were no longer thinking that Mick was part of the band. Sad. The Clash could really have been something for a lot longer, but the writing was on the wall. They should have disbanded instead of sacking Mick. Joe and Mick did write songs together later in the 80's for B.A.D.'s second album.

Nice photo of some trees and a cowboy hat ... LOL!!

@Andrew Amerk, Fantastic thread title edit. I think the Sabres could obtain this guy, but it would cost a lot. Of course, a long-term extension would have to be agreed to prior to the trade, or a sign and trade thingie would have to happen. I don't think that an offer sheet is the way to go on this. Tampa would surely match and every other GM would be pissed at our new guy.

Did yous ever just have to get some air? Well, I just did ... I would tell yous all why, but yous would never believe me. Anyway, this popped into my head ... Mr. Ferry is a very handsome dude and very classy. The rest of his band, well, not so much.

Sabres Trivia is no fun atoll when I have no clue atoll. That's all ...

Executive VP Hockey Operations, or some such wording would describe the role. That is what he would be doing, but they might have to call him Special Advisor, or Water Boy, or Erand Boy, or something like that, but his job would be to oversee all things hockey related.

She and he did get out of the way with the Bills, as you said, so this tells me they have that skill. We just have to be patient until they get the right people with the Sabres. I really do think that RaKru is one of the right guys. I am hopeful for Adams. I think that those two make a good combination. Their skills mesh well. EDIT TO ADD: Dudley would be the glue to hold it all together for 2, or 3, years.
