For the record, I heard Rob Ray say "yeah, you're right" on the air.

I know, I'm ######in with you. Everybody's earned the right to bitch about how bad the team is. Stick with it though, you'll be glad you did. We'll be good again, and you'll have a sincere appreciation for how bad they aren't.

Sabres are nine points out of second (last) but with two games in hand over Edmonton. Islanders are 4th last with Calgary and Florida on either side by two points. No matter the outcome, we don't see DEFEAT here. If the Sabres win, the possible Islanders pick gets better. If the Sabres lose, our first round pick gets even more cemented. Therefore: TANK HAS AUTOMATIC VICTORY!! If anything, I'd like to see the Islanders lose, just to smash their confidence, drive the fans nuts, drive up the value of that pick, and drive away any free agents that may make them better next year. But I'm not married to that.

I count nine. Buffalo, Minnesota, Philadelphia, Toronto, Calgary, Colorado, Edmonton, Vancouver, Rochester.

Shapley indices. Bleh.

Honor in battle. That's all this is. No way to know if it was staged or not, or was warranted or not. Two guys wailing on each other, then recognizing they gave eachother what they had.

VICTORY!

Brian Burke doesn't have the cojones to tank, tries to mask it as character: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=446131

Tankin'!

I'll take the over.

It's my mission to see that, unless they win the lottery, they'll be taking our leftovers.

Or maybe, just maybe, Ruff was appropriately expectant of his players and it's the players that were ######.

Ha, good call. Sometimes I read them, sometimes I don't.

That's a big vote of confidence right there: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=446007

I was thinking this as well. I think there's also a possibility he actually turns down that job. He's smart enough to know how ###### that situation is. He may also (rightfully, I think) believe that he'll get other offers at some point. Maybe not Calgary, although he's been spotted having conversations with Burke, but somewhere.

Must be less filling, because that's not great taste.

Not to slight the point about how bad our roster is, but quite a few people are wondering why Ottawa couldn't trade Conacher. They gave up a decent asset in Bishop for him, and he didn't fit well in OTT, but many are still surprised Conacher couldn't attract more interest. Now, as for D'Agostini, Omark, Konopka...

VICTORY!! TANK CATS SUCCEED IN NASHVILLE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSBKZPNsK74 I'd say per dollar, he's gotta be wayyy up there.

Snow's an idiot, sure. But the root cause is the stupid, stupid owner. Even if the crowd wants it, he's not going to sell, at least not before they move into their new (equally silly) digs. So even if Wang fires Snow, he would likely hire someone equally as incompetent. Maybe Anders Nilsson.

There's a lot of good tank music. From the movies, I like Patton. Not from the movies, but seemingly often used, I like Holst's Mars. You could definitely sample that composition for game situations. And now that I think about it, I think a lot of marching bands play it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0bcRCCg01I Oh, and of course the cats aren't mine.

Mostly, yes.

Six points back, one game in hand. We need to keep building that lead. Recent victory on the Florida battlefield allowed us to recover secret cat technology, which will be deployed in battle against the Predators. RELEASE THE TANK CATS!! ONWARD!!
