I can totally see that too. I am definitely of the mindset that the team needs to get bigger and more tenacious but ideally JBott would recognize that drafting a smaller player requires other rosters moves to compensate, unlike some other picks.

I certainly agree we don’t want a whole team of little guys, but in an ideal world you would replace the current small talent with greater talent of similar size. Also, it’s important to remember these kids grow. I think Olofsson was only around 5’6” when drafted and is now closer to 5’10/1”

I believe he was injured after his hot start in juniors. His team’s season ended and the Sabres wanted to reward him so they brought him. I don’t think he’s able to play, but he’s able to experience some of the pro-hockey life and has access to better facilities. Ive been wrong before though.

I can’t think of a single person that I served with that enjoyed being honored at events or thanked in public. They certainly wouldn’t have been the kind of soldiers I hung around with though. Also, I don’t think saying the national anthem sucks means a person thinks a nation sucks. I’ve never heard anyone complain about the quality of content with the anthem, but I still don’t think that’s the case. Im sure if you listened to all the anthems of the world some would be of far greater quality than others, I don’t think that’s a reflection on the country. The discussions of whether anthems should be sung is a valid topic if discussing anthems throughout the league, but like you said, this isn’t the thread (though one did just start).

What’s the minimum height requirements of a 50 goal scorer for you? I don’t care if he’s four feet tall if he pots fifty.

I don’t think anyone would complain if we drafted a fifty goal scorer.

I would not be happy with Botts if Skinner got anywhere near 9.1. Give me Duchene and another FA if that’s the case.

I couldn’t be more opposed either and I believe the national anthem being sung before sporting events is stupid. While they’re at it they can’t stop the whole veteran thing too.

2013 Red Sox WS team was pretty much the exact opposite—bad team becoming good team with mostly the same roster.

The Professional is some of his best work too. Natalie Portman was fantastic as well.

Hey now, he’s got more than one trick. He can shoot and he’s lightning fast.

As if a decent regular season and two conference finals is anywhere near four straight Super Bowls.

Have the Bills ever played on Thanksgiving though?

I guess this belongs here... ROR, Bergeron and Stone nominated for the Selke.

That sounds like the last thing I would want to subject my thanksgiving to
