@Thorny & @Pimlach Why oh why do you insist on utilizing FACTS in your posts? I mean, so few do, it's disorient-it-tatating even!

@Pimlach Just helping a bit.... 60 mi. US, is 96.6 km. but with the conversion for Canadians coming to WNY, we have marked it up to 120 km.

@Pimlach my caffeine intake: too much & never enough…..devil on my shoulder:

Thanks @PromoTheRobot, you have pretty red ellipses. 😄 I have confirmed same & updated this thread. 😉

Bone is fine & on air. This started with a post on last night’s GDT. I was confused also…. Carry on my (fellow) wayward son….

I figured after hearing him on air last night & this morning. Thanks. @Weave I have nave never had ‘a confused’. What does it look like? 😄

Hey @Buffalonill Paul Hamilton of WGR, sports journalist.Been there forever. I saw post by @Broken Ankleson the blu rag GDT about Paul H. being either fired or (per above on BN link I found) was taking a leave…. I am confused as he was on post game, and on GR it’s AM. Anyhow here is my @Spoonmanapedia post on Ham Bone: > Paul played hockey @ Iowa St. back in the day. > His nickname (back when nicknames were original & had panache v name + ie on the end e.g. Tuchie) was ‘Ham Bone’. > GR has audio of him in a game being called for something like a 2,5,10, & the gate 😄. This has been the brief history of THE BONE….

UPDATE: Bone ok. Still on air. This raised due to a post on GDT… Well, Audacy still …… I see a post that he got fired by Audacy, search for same, and get a link to BN, see something about leave until March, then nothing, as I am not subscribed. Of course nothing on that 💩 show web presence that is Audacy (can't listen to games on my phone app, and they just s*&%). Anyhow.... Sup Children of the ⚔️??? I hope he is OK....

You mean the one without "guns" so he can't throw those heavy flags on a horse collar, right?

I too am now wanting to know.... I saw something link to BN, but don't have a subscription. Something about him taking time off.... ??? Help Sabre Spacers!

Children of the ⚔️ Spooner w his daughter & son in law sushi for his Birthday. Go Boys!

I would be shocked if he did. Happy & shocked.

So let's consider: Trouba is talented RD, and C of Rangers.....and $5k is MAX fine. No suspension? Give me a break. Lack of stick discipline like this required a suspension. Not even 50% the same but: > Marty McSorley high sticked / attacked Donald Brashear back in 2000 game. McSorley was originally suspended for the remainder of the season as well as the playoffs for the 1999-00 season (totaling 23 games). His suspension would be lengthened to an entire year following a British Columbia court finding McSorley guilty of assault with a weapon on October 6, 2000. McSorely would never play another game in the NHL. More recently: > Pinto 41 game suspension for gambling (only vague details of inappropriate actions that should be common sense ) on NHL. I am OK with suspension, but what about being similarly concerned with player safety? > NHL threatens to fine M-A Fleury for wearing an indigenous inspired mask to honor his wife who is same, then when he says he is going to wear it and pay fine, threaten Wild with "significant fines". Fleury did not play but wore mask in pregame, said he would pay fines for Wild. TBD. Why does NHL care so much to shut down celebrations of minority groups? This, Pride nights & tape color, even noted on last night's NJ GDT, NJ had their "I'm fighting for" signs fill in the blank pre-printed. Stupid. >Trouba is top RD, and Rangers C, so he gets off easy. Messages are being sent with suspensions, fines, and lack there of. Not sure they are the right ones.

He's free after the season, and I am guessing headed to BC to play for his resurgent hometown Canucks if $ is not an issue (it always is). He would be the hometown kid coming back while still a stud. Maybe he can bring his dulie bike from BUF days to ride into training camp with Elias....

I will keep COUNTing....ah ha ha ha ha haaaaaa!

@Taro T Great minds, as I have also noted numerous times! "FACTS SCHMACTS" don't let them get in the way of a good/bad/indifferent post!

@dudacek and Sabres Spacers - Duda - nice post! Attention all Sabres Spacers, Attention, this is a message from the North American Pole Board (no not parole board for some of you intransigents!)... The title of this discussion needs facts around poles (I see that @PASabreFan is quite knowledgeable & I know, 'facts schmacts' on this board 😜).... However, the poles on a track represent a furlong (= 1/8th of a mile or .4 km for those using the correct measuring system). The 'quarter pole' is actually LAST 1/4 mi. (.8 km) from the FINISH... So if we want to play with the horse racing analogy with the Sabres season, and for simplicity's sake, assume a 1 mi. (1.6 km) "race", the title should reflect this and say 'Sabres at the 3/4 pole". But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of a good post topic! 🙂 Now back to our regularly scheduled posting....

@PASabreFan My word. Your quote from the debacle that was the nj devils game: "The quality of this board has declined precipitously. Kinda appropriate, I guess, given the state of the franchise." 😝

@PASabreFan the beatings will continue until morale improves.

All of us are 156 lbs. until we hit the scale at the Dr.'s office @JohninMinn.

Read my earlier post tonight.

No - they need winning veterans who have been there done that. EJ 6 is only a start (Oakie & Z vets, but w Sabres….)

Only @Thornyis laughing now……😉
