Standing Room Smoking Cigs

In Tahoe!!! https://www.yahoo.com/news/lake-tahoe-hockey-team-owned-213427823.html...🤣

Pinto gambling was outed and probably part of the bargaining agreement.... There is something we don't know, but Chicago I'm sure has an iron clad reason for this... morals clause

Of course you're AITHA.... but i's the internwebs that newfangled thing. I argue out of my butt, knowing I'm not gonna slugged. Back in the way back '80's my brother and his friends would get drunk and argue whether a pea shooter really shot a a pea, which it did and seek a fight if others said it was a plant in a bar with Niagara Falls people I can remember many times when I got kicked in the face, because of them... I fought back but, boy I took a licking as those idiots (my brother and said friends) just wanted to brawl.... Here you may get a little pissed off and think, but you don't have explain the shiner the next day... and listen to your better half telling you to lose the friends... It is all perspective!!!

Perry did something wrong... if it was an issue involving a mental, alcohol, drug problem it would have been addressed by the collective bargaining. Lord knows what happened, but it is outside of the parameters of NHLPA deal. I know the rumors are out there and i really think it is bunk, could be wrong... but Chicago, really after the Beach fiasco, knows they have an airtight reason.... Perry screwed up somewhere and Chicago after covering it up the Beach situation, needed to lance the boil. Don't know what happened, but I guarantee they have the goods on their decision.

I blame the Newfs.... St. John's Bin Newf is a dead man...

Hah.... my failure at links... I thought were epic... nope... this takes the cake...🤣

Yeesh... I agree the Bills go south, hoping the Sabres make the step... Well so much for holiday wishes!!! (seems to be a recurring theme... for years). I applaud Adams for bringing in the young talent... but isn't this starting to turn out out to the wash, rinse and repeat of the Bowman era (can't beat the Bruins, thank god the Leafs sucked backed then under Ballard)... Great players drafted, yet they are remembered elsewhere for accomplishing cup glory when they get into the HOF... Adams needs to shake it up... Florida shook it up and look what they got, a heart... a trade that seems to be a steal cap wise and momentum... (which makes an owner happy, revenue wise)... Developmental coaches are what they are, they develop kids for the next step, Granato ain't dealing with kids anymore, yet he seems to have the mindset it's the next step... no offense... but the NHL is the last step... if the players are trying to take a step at the top of the floor with no steps... Houston... we have a problem!!!

I would think breaking the wrist is an easier comeback... breaking your thumb is way worse...depending on the location, the thumb doesn't get mobility back... ever... and I'm a proud owner of doing both multiple times in my stupid youth...

McDavid's move is not going only to be facilitated but by what Edmonton gets, which is a hard get in the salary cap era, but the league partners, the media and streaming potential revenue. If you're not a Top Ten media market, or a flashy market, regardless of the trade, the NHL will nix it, and probably nix a trade to a Canadian team... NHL wants in him ESPN/TNT land which is 7:30 PM Eastern/Central... start times which is the bread and basket of NHL viewers especially ... All Connor vs. Connor or a Connor game all the time... Sports leagues are cartels... Gretzky in LA was great for building expansion, but who the heck ever got to watch him back then? Same with McDavid, most of you can count on 1 hand how many times you stayed up to watch, I get HNIC in my area and it is still too late to watch him on a Saturday on the East Coast... Original Six territory...

Ick.. the fallout still continues... no offense to Bowman and Joel Q.... but no... there is no place for them in the NHL... and the Black Hawks should pay a price... https://www.yahoo.com/sports/ex-blackhawks-player-sues-team-alleges-he-was-sexually-assaulted-by-brad-aldrich-203857392.html

Makar deserves credit for what he's done, but he's no Orr. If you're basing on the games played, Orr played the best against the best in his first year before expansion. Only defenseman to win the Art Ross Trophy (twice). He paved the way for all others. As to Perreault, superstars of his era will say and do say he was the most talented hockey player they ever saw....

Obviously, I'm not foodie when it comes to Mexican food, I prefer ETS, but Mighty holds a dear special horror place in my heart. Grab a chair, maybe a beer and I'll regale in the last time I had Mighty. Spring of '87, I just turned 23 and after a Thursday visit to the local bar after work, I decided to stop in the City of Tonawanda and grab 3 Super Mighty's. Wise choice at the time, they were cheap, filling and tasty. 8 hours later... I get the flu, no one is home as it's a Friday and parts of the family were going to weddings in Detroit and Chicago. Worst 2 1/2 days of my life. I had liquid coming out of every orifice of my body, including the ears! The odors where horrendous as it smelled like Mighty Taco. I l felt like death, looked like death and was welcoming death. I haven't a Mighty since, nope can't do it! 3 lessons learned that weekend, when people would call in sick with the "flu" and arrive perky the next day, I'd tell them, nope no flu and relate my story. I got my flu shot every year since. Lastly, that Mighty in Tonawanda was such easy picking for the police if you lived on Grand Island and decided after drinking on the Island, going to Mighty was a bad thing. I can't tell you how many people got DWI's going there, driving past the police station to the South Grand Island bridge. Can't eat Mighty the PTSD is still strong today!!!🤣🤣🤣

I understand the reason they had to go. Not defending what all parties did are but in some ways, it was nipping it in the bud. A fling, infatuation is as much as you think it's on the QT, is so apparent to others. Many years ago I went through a thing at work... No one knows we thought, Hah, that was so wrong, everyone knew. It was the aftermath, when things started to sour between us that caused the problem. Our toxicity to each other caused problems to everyone at work around us. That's the problem. I left and she stayed. Funny thing is 15 years later, both in different parts of life got back together. Pegula did the right thing, it's not the passion, it's the aftermath that causes problems in the workplace.

I like this trade, Sabres needed clearance on the D (all the of sudden, they became overloaded)... I think (I know) Bryson wouldn't get a 4th, Stillman was an overpay with Booth and Johnson may just be ready to step in... Plus Boosh gets to go to Anaheim, sun all year round. Better yet, maybe they are thinking of bringing in another guy....

I spent 4 days at ECMC on the 9th floor... after the 2nd day the shaking stopped and I slept so well.... Oops... I probably shouldn't be posting this....🤣🤣

It's contractitis... apparently it's localized disease that seems affect only a certain group of men since at least 2010...🤣

It happened before... see Gretzky

The premise of my original post was that McDavid wouldn't be going to Buffalo.... that won't happen as the league would want to maximize his potential in the major east coast markets.... The NHL doesn't have the NFL exposure nor will it ever. McDavid is the the NHL's media's down here sweetener for the owners. He's bound for NY metropolitan... I saw Messi everywhere today, granted Messi is Messi but McDavid in NY or nearby in a major market would drive hype on a scale that would help the NHL stay in the NFL/NBA sports media exposure.... It is no longer about hockey per se, it's about eyeballs maximizing televised revenues... sad to say.... plus he needs a cup

I for one... have been employing... ellipses... for all of my life... online...🤣

That has to be an athlete's motivation.... Your the best in the world and seeing Eichel raise the Cup, shouldn't sit well with him. McDavid will force himself out next year.... be it the nightmare scenario that he goes to Vegas... (Buffalo heads would explode).... For all the talk about Matthews, McDavid needs a cup ,he is the face of the NHL who shouldn't just show only once a year at the ESPYS... As much as I hate to say it, he belongs in NY....

Yeesh.... McDavid is a game changer, better than Matthews, better than MacKinnon.... I know I sound like his agent, but this kid is all of that.... Why wait out FA, when you can get him now.... Granted he needs to go a team that isn't dysfunctional (I know we qualify as dysfunctional).... but if it doesn't pan out next year in Edmonton... it will be the biggest trade in the NHL since '88. If the pipeline is solid and you can afford to give up some.... go for for it. I just don't see Buffalo doing it. Not because I wouldn't want him here, I just think the NHL wants him in a large market favorable to TV....

BTW... thank you all to replying to this topic... I don't post often and appreciate your replies... even that BuffaloNill guy!!!😄

My bad and I thought Connor McDavid's is like my my nephew 'Conor"

I agree and Hughes would go unless he has a no trade... Edmonton would have cost value and he is 4 younger (unlike Tage who I think is older than McDavid).... Plus NJ would have to throw in Luke Hughes

McDavid will want out next year if the Oilers fail... It is really about his legacy, I don't care what anyone else says... he is the best player since Lemieux... and no he his not coming to Buffalo... I played the potential trade for him, but it was fantasy... McDavid will be in NY or Florida next year.... Don't underestimate Florida, marketing him the sportstars down there... (However, they really don't the draft capital to trade for him without gutting the team)
