Ducky

Probably because he was asked?

Jets captain A Ladd closes his response to Evander Kane's comments with this today: "We've moved on, and maybe he should, too."

Bogosian didn’t want to go into too much detail, but said, “It was a practice thing, sometimes those things happen during camp. It was unfortunate the way it happened, but it’s in my past.” Ya, okay.

Of course he wasn't, he ALWAYS gets hurt in practices...

Not at all. There were rumors here that he liked to dabble in some illegal substances....these rumors were started a few times and from different sources. How is he hurt when nobody can find the play that he was hurt?

Are you sure Bogo is hurt? Did anyone see the play that hurt him. He was mysteriously "hurt" a few times while here and nobody ever saw the play.

Only a Sabre fan would say Myers and Bogo are a wash....the fact that Stafford finished his season here gave us the inside edge to re-sign him so that has to be taken into consideration.

In which way? Also, if he is back in 4 weeks, it is probably too soon.

He plays on the checking line and also plays PK and PP.... 5 goals and 2 assists in 8 games and is a plus player. 26 points in 34 games since he got here....I have no problem with Stafford's play at all. I'm not sure it was a change of scenery more than a team that plays a disciplined D game but he is one of the better players on the team right now.

Not sure what he meant about not having his back but when you constantly miss or come late to practices and don't dress to the team's dress code he is acting like a prima donna. Why should he be above team rules? The act wore thin with the players and management had no choice but to trade him. Most everyone is happy the cancer in the room is gone and the trade looks better every day. Stafford is more than replacing his points and knows how to play D AND use his line mates properly. To talk trash after you are out of somewhere is a bush move.....Maurice was asked about it and took the high ground, something Kane would never do. He can be a dominant player on the ice but off the ice...

Tough or always hurt?

He gets injured because he plays a fast, hard hitting game. I have never seen Kane be out as long as the doctors first say although with an MLC injury, he might be. I'll tell you this, he will be pleading to get back on the ice before he is ready. He can take a ot of pain but you wouldn't want to come back too early fro m this injury. Let it heal properly. Really tough break considering the goalie is out too.

Should probably get used to Bogo only playing 60- 65 or so games a year. Always hurt? or out of games for whatever reason. What's the verdict on Kane's injury? He'll play with as much pain as they let him....a tough SOB if there ever was one.

Staf and Wheeler were the best players on the ice today. I really like Staf's game so far...he is playing very smart D while getting some points. Also seeing time on PK and PP. Nobody knows what is wrong with Bogo? Did he show up at TC hurt?

What is Bogo's story? He hasn't played yet? Did he play any pre-season games?

I don't agree that the Sabres had the upper hand. That was, by far, the first time Kane "misbehaved" and he wanted out of here for some time. I am sure Chevy could have traded him long before the track suit incident. If he didn't find someone to trade with, he would have held on to Kane until draft day. You could even argue that he might have got more on draft day. (I would have offered Kane to the Canes for their chance at Hanifin and next year's 1st rounder or the three the Sabres got for Faulk and Hanifin but that's me. The Sabres are missing a bona fide starting goalie and you won't go far in the league without one.

pfffft If it were 1/3 or 1/2 of a season then he would have a point. Some hacks write anything just to stir the pot and get people to read their drivel (check out Paul Friessen and Gary Lawless from Winnipeg to see what I mean). Kane gives his all every shift of every game. Recreational drugs? No rumor of that for his time spent here...Bogo on the other hand......

Taken in Chicago at the Botanical Gardens...

Just use your favorite one....I also like Western steak spice but the most important part is having the meat dry so the batter sticks better and let it stay on the fork for about 3 seconds when you put the piece in the oil and sear (for lack of better word) it before you let it go from fork. Dry meat is the single most important thing for a good batter. How thick/thin and a temp of 375F are the others. Also, if the fish you are frying are a bit bigger/older than what you like, try using 7UP ... it takes some of the FISHY? taste out of it.

Batter.......Pepper, Hy's Steak Spice and flour with beer or water....I usually use water as I drink imported beer and it is too expensive. Thicker for fish and thinner for duck or chicken or something more dense than fish. I use the same batter for mushrooms and onion rings. I bought a plucker last year and plucked some Redheads and mallards and a Canvasback we got on Friday....in the freezer waiting for my gf's recipe this winter. Back at er on Thursday morning.

I consider myself a Canadian and my ancestry is Metis and Scottish on my father's side and Ukrainian on my mother's side. I only found out I had Metis in my background about 12-15 years ago. Lots of First Nation peopel prefer not to be called indians and think it is derogatory but I grew up with lots of indians and call them that to their faces and they know I am not saying it in a racist way. Metis and First Nations are different and the Metis only got their harvester rights in 2012. I had family over today and got rave reviews for the deep fried duck breasts and hearts.

Daily limits are 8 and possession are 24. I give a lot away to older folks that don't have access to wild birds and I eat a LOT. Will be doing about 10 breasts Saturday for a family dinner. Also, I am a Metis Indian so I can have as much in my freezer as I choose. I don't go over daily limits while I hunt and don't allow anyone I am hunting with regardless if they can or not. If you get 8 ducks in a day that is enough for anyone. I eat ducks all winter long and into the spring. I have an annual bash every August in honor of a friend that passed away in 1998 and keep about 10-12 ducks for that as well. A few weeks after the bash it is hunting season so I am eating ducks all year long. I also eat as much ruffed grouse as I can if I am lucky enough to harvest any. I don't hunt big game any more but would never turn down moose meat if any friends offer.

Just so you guys don't think we are shooting ducks in a barrel....two of us were out from sun up to sundown yesterday in a marsh I know that is 75 minutes north on the edge of Lake Winnipeg. Seven ducks for the whole day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No offense taken but for last year, the goalie I am talking about was ranked third.
