Ducky

huh?

It might not be that long at all....looking forward to those pics of you in a Jet jersey.

bunomatic, do I know you? ya, DU Canada but I would much rather do the jersey thing.....

I grew up a Habs fan so I hate Boston more than anyone on the planet. As far as anything with cash.....your dollar is 1.33 CAD. I hate big cities so I hate TO, don't like the people, don't like the city, etc... I live 15 minutes north of Winnipeg on 3 acres on a gravel road so, ya, I hate Winnipeg too. Gangs, violence, smell of diesel, etc... Nice to have a big city near for restaurants, sports, employment, getting things you can't in a small town but that is it. I was thinking you wear a Jets jersey and I wear a Buffalo but......if you would rather wear a home bruins jersey, I am ok with that. lol I met a Sabres fan in Cuba and chatted for awhile, he is not a member on this forum. Nice guy and passionate about is team...Sabres logo on his backpack. Also met a couple from Boston in Havana. First thing I said when he told me where he was from was, "I hate your hockey team". He said he gets a lot of that!!!!!!!!! Your choice on the bet though, I've never disliked Buffalo except for a couple of months after the Hawerchuk trade but I hated the GM a LOT more. (Smith, the Jets GM).

Loser buys the other team's jersey and posts a pic at least every 2 weeks where he has worn it in public for a season? Or would you like to make it cool hard cash? Thanks to everyone for the population info....not sure why ANYONE would like to go to TO though!

Not sure how big Bufflao is but Wiki says population is under 300k...that must be wrong....Winnipeg has about 700k. Bogo liked it here because of the hunting and fishing......Kane disliked it because he said it was too small. I'll bet whatever you want to bet...the bet is that Kane is gone at the end of or before his current contract expires, right?

It was in response to a biased post on here...

So Kane has .7 points per game for the Jets or .62 in his career, what's your point? Staf won't make 5m a year for the Jets. He has 17 points in 20 games but he won't make 5m a year. I'll bet whatever you'd like. You do realize Kane isn't a free agent until 2018-2019? He wants the bright lights of LA or NY or Chitown or Vegas...he wasn't happy in a small town like Winnipeg and won't be happy in Buffalo. I do have to thank him for being a dick though. Without his antics, we don't get Staf and Myers (30 points between them since they were traded here) and are probably out of the wildcard spot by now.

So you co nsider someone that averages 24-25 goals a season a stud?

Myers has trouble sticking his nose in illegal substances?

Myers is playing more than anyone on the team and shut down Ovechkin a couple of games ago while averaging about .67 points a game. Who knows where and what Stafford will do but he is looking good in a Jets uni right now. 16 points in 19 games and a +4 with 6 minutes in penalties. Nobody knows if Armia and Lemieux will play in the NHL but most scouts think they will and will for years. 1st pick in a deep draft with Chevy's drafting history makes me optimistic. Kasdorf will never have a career in the NHL. Bogo gets hurt or has other "problems" and misses games ALL the time. He's played what 14 games and is a -2 with 32 penalty minutes. I'd take Myers every day all day over Bogo. Kane? He averaged .3 goals a game for the Jets and gets 6m a year!!!! A cancer in the room and most people are glad he is gone. I will bet anyone that he is gone from the Sabres at the end of his contract if not before. How is he going to feel when the number one draft pick gets all the limelight and he is playing second fiddle? Myers would have to ###### the bed and Stafford would have to sign elsewhere plus Armia and Lemieux tank to even suggest the Jets didn't win this trade.

I hated that trade........you don't trade a talent like Ducky. Can anyone explain to me how he didn't make the hall in the first year of eligibity?

Well, you guys took us to the cleaners on the Hawerchuk trade so you owe us one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Nolan gets fired, the Sabres should pick up Todd McLellan after the sharks fire him.

Stafford....Myers?

Sorry, had family walking in for dinner and didn't comment with the link I posted. You have to take anything that hack writes with a grain of salt (worst in newspaper history) but the trade (so far) is really working out well with Stafford and Myers playing very well. If Bogo can keep his nose clean (pun intended) and Kane plays up to his potential, you guys should be happy with them. I'd like nothing better than to see the Jets and Sabres playing for the cup one day.

He seems to get injured often.....probably because of his style of play.

Bogo is injured?????????

kinda what i said, isn´t it...

the jets get the lowest of the 3 1st round picks the sabres had at time of trade..... if Bogo is playing 30 minutes, he is playing too much...24'25 is about right.... sorry i haven´t posted anything but i am in cuba (84 degrees right now) and the internet is not readily available in the smaller towns... the jets are still in the playoff picture but they had better stop getting zero points against teams like the Sens.... If Kane grows up, you guys will be veeeeeery happy with him, if not...............

thanks for the link but not gonna read it...i will make my mind up on how he plays here....on a side note, rumor has it that the sabres are going after O'reilly....now that would be a HUGE move.

Well, he sure is easy to pick out on the ice, especially when the guy he plays with, Enstrom, is 5 10. Babcock gave Winnipeg's D and Enstrom in particular some kudos after the Wings' game the other night. It jsut shows you don't HAVE to be big to play D. Although I wouldn't want the whole D corps under 6. On a side note Enstrom is the highest hit on the cap for us. Babcock is a coach the Sabres should go after. I have nothing against Nolan but next year should be the first year of starting to get better and I think Babcock is the best coach on the planet. D men usually don't come into their prime until they are 27 or so which means both Bogo and Myers haven't hit their prime yet. As far as Stafford goes, I pretty much agree that he is not a player I would invest on long term. We have a LOT of talent coming up in the next couple of years and we need room on the roster. There's a couple or 3 players that I would like to see replaced next season (Gagliardi, Halischuk, Peluso, Slater, although I would offer him a job in the organization). Players like Thorburn shouldn't play on anything but the 4th. Injuries are killing us this year and I think Chevy will still trade for a winger. Good to hear you guys are happy with Bogo because from what I have heard, he is a great guy and besides, he is a hunter/fisherman so he has to be likable? Kaner would be a good guy for you guys to trade to Las Wages once they get a team. lol

Stafford and Kane are not comparable if Kane even comes close to his potential....how big is the "if" is the question....I really liked his game tho. Also, you have to remember that Bogo wasn't going to get the minutes he wanted playing behind Buff and Trouba.

Bogo and Myers were drafted in the same year, no? I'm not gonna hold that against him....winning the Calder is a good thing. Like i said, their play now concerns me.
