SABRES 0311

Iran admits they did it and it was an accident. Half truth? Whole truth?

I think Larsson is underrated regarding his stick handling. He’s not going to pull a Datsyuk but I’ve seen some decent stop and go or cut back moves to keep possession.

Did we pull the goalie or did Ullmark go for another desperation save?

Well what the frack is this I’m watching?

I think Ullmark might have over played that one.

Our special teams would be a good date.

That looked like it deflected.

A lot of movement by STL on the delayed penalty. Ends with a scoring opportunity.

Puck hog.

Saw the CNN report on the downed aircraft. U.S. official says Iranian radar locked on to it before it went down. I’m really starting to think they effed up. Of course it has to be proven. Either way it sucks and it’s not the first time **** like this has happened. .

I watched it a couple years ago. I’ll have to again.

I better start warming up.

I forgot Hutton was in net the last time we played STL. I can’t remember the last time he started. Hell I forget Sobotka is on the team.

How so? I messed up Oceania didn’t I?

I don’t have it in me to suffer another tank.

If they lose I owe 25 burpees to a friend.

If it was an imminent attack I believe everything was in place. I was referring to the coordination and deconfliction of their forces during the execution. At all levels of command the guy in charge has to be a part of that. But again I don’t know what the attack was supposed to be. The airliner thing is crazy. Wild guess here but I wouldn’t be surprised if somehow Iran thought it was a threat given the timing. Why a civilian flight was allowed take off in the middle of all this is beyond me.

What I gather from the article is that Trump’s administration either withheld information or they do not have it to provide. The first is stupid in my opinion. The second would be worse. Although killing Suleimani may be morally justified I can see legal issues if the intelligence doesn’t exist. Now the part you are all refreshing you devices for. I am torn on this. According to the article, officials are saving additional information for the gang of eight. Not sure why.

Declared war, no. Armed conflict/low intensity conflict, seems like forever. Oceania is out around Australia.

@LTS To address your on topic comment. I have to know what the actual threat was. Suleimani could serve as a point of deconfliction and coordination if the threat involved multiple forces. If it was a suicide bomb attack through a proxy his role is almost none as the goal would be to minimize Iranian footprint. The morale piece could backfire and strengthen Iranian resolve. The goal though would be to demonstrate capability to reduce fighting spirit. It’s an either/or situation. You had me until the very end.

Yes you have the responsibility to call it out. Therefore you have the responsibility to set the example. I’m pretty sure you said people who support Trump support racism and such. Well I support Trump and I do not support racism despite what you think you know about me. Take it how you want but I don’t think it promotes what I thought this board was for. I guess I’ll move on.

You invoke God as in God’s children in a previous post but pass judgement like that. A general does not execute but provides the authority and concurrence for the operation. They also serve as the liaison to civil authorities. No doubt there are subordinates but removing him I would think has an affect on military moral, the planning process and forces a subordinate into the role likely with less experience. I’m not the one saying someone was being condescending. I’m the one accused of being condescending and for good reason. That guy told me to stop trying to change the subject. In reality I was responding to other posters, not him. Not sure why you quoted me but I don’t see where you are the expert on what is condescending. You label all Trump supporters as supporters of hate and bigotry without even knowing them.

I don’t think Iran missed their mark. Iran does not want to escalate things. War is never a good thing. I agree with you on that. I also agree Trump fired the first shot on this one. Time will tell if it was justified. I think Suleimani and the Quds Force should’ve been addressed under the previous two administrations. Both knew what was going on. Both helped set the conditions in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. As of right now we removed Al Baghdadi and Suleimani and received a salvo of a dozen missiles with no U.S. casualties. Wars will continue for the foreseeable future. I see Iran’s threats to hit us in the U.S. as a soft acknowledgment they are state sponsors of terrorism. You don’t play nice with people like that and you sure as hell don’t walk on eggshells. I don’t think you should be accusing me of being delusional like you did when you seem to have no concept of what is happening.

There you go. CNN reports 10 IRGC rockets fired at Al Assad Air Base. Iran says 10s. One CNN reporter remains calm saying this isn’t exactly out of the norm the other lists a lot of what ifs. Just the facts ma’am. Third anchor corrects himself as he was about to call the Suleimani strike an assassination. I wonder why. Iran calls it a crushing response. Gives more threats.

Condescending because you act like I’m changing the subject when I’m trying to respond to multiple posters in succession. Not sure if you’re calling Trump’s actions or my post an act of aggression.
