Sabres Fan in NS

Yes.

Yikes. That 3rd period was probably the worst 20 minutes of Sabres hockey in 10+ years. Maybe ever. Oh, well. Who's next? If I were coachsie I'd put in 6K.

I understand what you are saying. And I agree that we do need to know if his hockey style played a role. My point was addressing the debate in this thread between the two points that drugs and lifestyle played a bigger role than a history of head trauma and vise versa. In that sense it does not matter to me.

My comment was not player based. More a general observation. Sure, study player deaths. We need to be better at recognizing issues that people are dealing with and helping them deal with them. A good friend took his life at 18. We were in High School - set to graduate in the spring. None of us recognized the signs. It shakes me to this day. 40+ years later.

A young man dies by suicide. Does it really matter the underlying issues that lead to him taking his life? Not to me. We as a society need to do better. RIP.

MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE SOMEBODY !! SWORDS !! Game is on SNW in Western Great White North, but you know where to find it if you really want it ... *pirate satellite - orbiting your living room*.

He did change the name back to Hornets.

I'm a gonna say it ... she can't sing. I suppose that does not matter atoll, eh !!??

The Sabres meet their expansion sisters in yet another ... MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE SOMEBODY AND SOMEBODY ELSE !! SWORDS !! The game is on SNP on the left hand coast of Canada, but you can get it, if you really want it.

Noone would have guessed you'd come with this post. (insert winkie thingie here)

23:00 game time here in NS .. way past my bedtime. Some of our European brothers and sisters may watch as they get up. Anyway ... MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE EVERYONE !! SWORDS !!

I agree. I never said it was KA deciding to call up Levi. I did say that this situation is KA admitting, without saying or doing anything, to the fans, the coach and himself that his Comrie signing was a mistake.

All good points. KA has admitted a mistake on his part in signing Comrie, who by all accounts is a great guy. He has racalled a rockie instead of a vet with the playoff chances dangling by a thread. He trusts Levi more, which is the only logical way to think. It's a preasure cooker for Levi to be thrust into a literal must win game - no matter when he plays. I am guessing he will get Vancouver. It's a chance for him to shine and could be a motivator for the whole team. On the other hand, it could all just as easily blow up in their collective faces.

He's got the next game. Hope he runs with the opportunity.

That sucks. But it's not a disaster. The margin for error was 3 games. Still have a 2 game margin. Who's next ? They will get that win and roll tide.

It's Lent. He will be back after Easter.

The game is on SN1 up here in The Great White North and on *pirate satellite, orbtong your living room*. MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE SOMEBODY !! SWORDS !!

Sorry to here this news. Best wishes for your surgery and recovery.

That sucks, but I believe these things all happen for good reason. You will take everything you have learned over the years and turn it into something a lot better. Trust me. I've been there.

You know what? All joking aside, they may just do it.

Nevermind the Vezina. I'm a gonna write in 6K for the Hart.

MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE PUNCH FOR DRAFTING RIC INSTEAD OF MIKE !! SWORDS !!

There is no excuse for not running whoever touches your goalie. Everytime. Anyone on the ice has to do it. It's code in the NHL. You touch my goalie and you are decked. Every team in the NHL knows that the Sabres do nothing atoll.

Last name Carpan. First name Dean. Easy. Peasy.
