Sabres Fan in NS

Or, one of those things that we talk about for so long, but never, ever happen. (insert winkie-winkie thingie here)

Never watched the show, but Phoebe ... there's your Chet and Muffy. Both. Yup.

?

Was not the 1992 Bills team that went to the Superbowl a WC team? Was that not the comeback year?

Hey @WildCard, NS here ... many times a caller, but never a listener. How come MLS is not on your list? Thanks. I'll hang up and listen now.

I went NBA simply because a team can be dominant for years in the regular season and in the playoffs, but in the playoffs anything can happen and often does when you get to the final. Warriors = 5 straight trips to the final and all of the WCF have been billed as the 'real final'. Well the Warriors record in the final now is 3 - 1 and most likely to be 3 - 2 after tonight. That is not dominant, IMHO, in the finals for such a dominant team. Also, I do not believe KD will play tonight. And if he does he will be no factor. I really hope the Raptors win tonight, if for no other reason than to have that so very annoying Drake dink shut the heck up.

Lucky, man. Say hi to Putie for me.

Another timely leak courtesy of @Brawndo ... NS out ...

Yeah, that's him. That's the guy. I also agree with @dudacek about Risto. I am putting him in 'my core', but I think Ralphsie will get a reasonable time to see how best to use Risto and than Bottsie will make a decision on what to do with him ... trade, or keep. If Risto stays there can be no doubt that he is part of the Sabres 'core'.

I would say Samson does belong in that group and I am tempted to put in the new guy (man, I can't remember any player names right now) ... the D from LA, or the Ducks? Someplace in California I am almost certain.

Shout out to @Sabel79 ... welcome to the 5,000 post club. +++++ GO CS12!! GO CANADA!! Make us prouder than the Raptors. Oh, yeah ... GO RAPTORS!! WE LOVE YOU!! (even though you play in The Great Satan) ...

Wrong.

If I am JBOT I make that trade every day and twice on Sunday.

Not to derail this awesome thread, but you are correct. Eid means festival and there is a traditional (meaning not part of the religion per se) 3 day festival to celebrate the end of Ramadan. It is spent with family on day 1, friends and neighbours on day 2 and with the poor and needy on day 3. There are two Eids. The second and more important Eid is at the end of the Hajj (day 10 of the Hajj month) and is to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim (PBUH) to sacrifice his own son (and his son's willingness to be sacrificed) at the will of God (in the end God said don't do it). This is the more important Eid for most, as it is a reminder of how we all are here and anything that we do is at the will of God. The whole of this Eid is focused on taking care of the poor and needy.

The Raptors are playing some of the best basketball a team has ever played. They are clicking on every aspect of the game. If they had not crapped that 3rd in game 2 this series would have been a sweep. This Raptor team as they are playing now would give the best teams down through the NBA ages a run for their money. And spare me with that injury depleted Warriors team crap.

Maybe that's because they are not the worst team in the NHL? The roster is lacking, but the coaching was also lacking. The system that was tried did not work well with the players on hand.

Thanks. During Ramadan I also fast from non-essential Internet use, which means no SabreSpace during the Holy month. I have taken this break every year since I signed up. If I recall correctly when I signed up in 2011 Ramadan had just ended.

Awesome thread. I am as optimistic as ever. GO SABRES!!

Good. What's next?

Great start for the hosts. A 4 - nil drubbing of Korea. Even with the controversy of a VAR (did I mention that I am not a fan of VAR atol) disallowed goal. GO CANADA!!

I am a huge fan of timely leaks. At my age that is just about anytime. NS out ...

THAT MOOSEHEAD KID!! ?

Thanks man. Still, I just prayed the mid-day prayers and a simple personal supplication.

Completely unrelated, but I am slowly catching up on stuff ... you must be pretty happy with the way the post season has played out for the Raptors. +++++ Completely related ... your post makes sense, but the Sabres are in desperate need of forward talent. I think that most teams, especially the Sabres, would be able to fit someone like Rad into their lineup. Who knows if he will help fix the 'culture', whatever that is exactly I do not know, on the Sabres is another matter, but he probably would not hurt it.

Damn those dastardly Bruins. Every last one of them since the dawning of time. 4 days post Ramadan and my good behavior is out the window. I will pray for my soul.
