    Another loss by the Amerks. They've scored 1 goal over the last 2 games. I really thought they would be good this year, given the signing of AHL veterans and some new young talent, and a veteran coach. Why can't they get their act together?

    Yes. Maliki, the leader of a Shiite political party, promised to run a more inclusive government—to bring more Sunnis into the ministries, to bring more Sunnis from the Sons of Iraq militia into the national army, to settle property disputes in Kirkuk, to negotiate a formula on sharing oil revenue with Sunni districts. Maliki backpedaled on all of these commitments and pursued policies designed to strengthen Shiites and marginalize Sunnis. That led to the resurgence of sectarian violence. The Sunnis, found themselves excluded from the political process, and took up arms as the route to power. In the process, they formed alliances with Sunni jihadist groups—such as ISIS, which seized much of northern Iraq—on the principle that the enemy of their enemy is their friend.

    Probably want an extra forward for the western trip in case of injury. Maybe put him in for Larsson.

    I have a friend who is in his 50s. We coached our sons together and we still play on the weekends. A few years ago he became certified as a referee. The hardest part was trying to get scheduled for games. The guys in charge had their friends and favorites, and after a couple years of getting only a couple games, he gave it up. So the physical part isn't the issue, it's can you break into your local scheduling "club" and actually get games.

    Not to mention Sabres fans.

    Shooting at Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs. Some nut job probably motivated by all the anti-PP rhetoric. Happy Holidays.

    How many of the "smart" immigrants are going to pick the crops or clean the hotels? When people have to pay more for their hotel room after eating a $20 salad, maybe then they'll rethink the issue. Refugees go through a much more rigorous screening process then foreign visitors on passports or visas. Should we ban all travel to the US also, because there's a chance a few might be dangerous?

    That's some wacky doodle stuff there. I feel like I just read a Trump speech.

    You realize that refugees are not illegal aliens that are jailed, but are accepted in legally after being screened by the gov't. They are often skilled or professional workers who get jobs or start businesses and become taxpayers. Witness the Vietnamese refugees.

    Uh, yeah.

    On the plus side, it's nice to be upset again when they lose after the tanking years.

    I'm afraid something will happen to Carol if she goes back to save the staying upstairs kid. Ron will still do something to Carl, and then Enid will take out Ron. And Deanna will die, and Michonne will lay her plans on her or burn them, symbolically showing they can never have nice things again.

    Liberal bias! Lame stream media! We need more welders, not scientists! This could get even messier ( as opposed to greztkyer) if Russia retaliates against Turkey, and then Turkey calls for NATO action.

    He probably figured an extended timeout was needed at the time. And it didn't affect the last minute, they had a 6 on 4 and puck control in the Blues zone with chances to score but couldn't finish. A shot by Risto just barely missed the open short side.

    Just got back to Syracuse. First period there were a few chances, a couple of shots off the post. Ennis got slammed into the boards and Foligno addressed the situation with his fists. Second period both goalies made some good saves. Legwand got his first goal after Nick D was flying around on his shift and got the puck near the goal. Third period the Sabres again had some near misses and whiffed on a couple of open nets, and the Blues eventually got a couple goals. Sabres had 6 on 4 in last minute and had a couple close chances but ran out of time. Eichel is amazing with how he can skate out of tight checking and get a shot from the slot. Risto and Bogo were tough on D. Nick D fllies around every shift. The Ennis line often had trouble getting the puck away from the Blues in the Sabres zone. Gionta gives the puck up too much and shouldn't get the ice time he does, especially on the PP. Kane shouldn't be with Eichel, he wants to carry and shoot the puck too much instead of working with his linemates.

    Sorry, no he wasn't.
  17. pastajoe
    They better not put Gionta out there. Oh crap, they did.
  18. pastajoe
    Lots of people have left I assume to go to bars for Bills.
  19. pastajoe
    Sitting at Sabres game and my son has the Bills game streaming on his phone. There was a roar from the suites when they intercepted.
  20. pastajoe
    They put Gionta on PP instead of Reinhart. Dumb.
  21. pastajoe
    Surprisingly large crowd. Gionta stays on too long after his linemates change. Still don't get why he's on power play.
  22. pastajoe
    At the game, 13 rows up from ice. $77 tix for free.
  23. pastajoe
    My son got free tickets so I'm driving from Syracuse to tonight's game. I just hope it's entertaining. Figured they have a better chance of winning then the Bills. Wouldn't have done it last year.

    The rhetoric harkens back to the Japanese internment camps and denying Jewish refugees safe haven during WWII.

    The return of The Iron Shiek?
