Have the Sabres pidgeon holed their roster?

I declare B.S. on that, hedgehog. Everybody knows that description you linked is classic ATM or ass to mouth. It doesn't need a nickname, as the acronym suits it just fine.

 

I like the cold, warm, hot carl/karl progression of glass, saran wrap, and skin contact. It works well. Plus if you're going to describe the saran wrap version as the hot carl/karl then what would you describe the direct skin contact version? It doesn't make any sense logically. Glass = cold because the recipient doesn't feel that steamy log. Warm = saran wrap because it absorbs some of the blow. Hot = full speed ahead and direct contact with that hot, steamy log. I may have to write my Congressman to see if we can get a Constitutional Amendment or something.

 

Drop the damn puck.

Hockey is in hibernation mode, especially in Sabres land. I wish I could carry some optimism across town to One Bills Drive, but from the looks of it, there won't be much this year. Just waiting for hockey season to come back along with my pride...

Has GoDD officially been excommunicated? I would have thought he'd be all over this thread, happy as a pig in...y'know.

 

(PS: even though he kept beating the dead horse in the other thread, I hope he's not gone.)

I think he flew the coop. To bad, first PA now GoDD.

He made a brief appearance yesterday. Didn't post though.

 

This place got real boring real quick without Dwight around to entertain.

 

 

 

So, what's left of Team Stormcloud now that Dwight and PA aren't posting? DeLuca becomes defacto team captain but who are the other concensus members? I assumed SwampD was in that crowd. I guess I got lumped in there. Who else?

 

This place is going to get dull if there's a lack of strong contrary voices.

There will always be plenty of entertainment, but without hockey and with all the optimism there just isn't much to keep a hockey related forum alive.

 

Worry not, heated arguments will be here, just gotta wait out the offseason :D

I don't know that DeLuca is truly captain material. Sure, he's a good fit for the 'A' but I don't know that he's really got that top line talent that you'd like in a 'C' and the ability to rally the troops when the chips are down.

 

You could probably wear the 'C' but you are still fairly new to the team and you have a tendancy to come back from the edge a bit too often to really 'lead them over the cliff' so to speak.

 

I think you guys are going to have to go w/ a rotating 'C' now that PA and DD don't appear to be available. Though it will make for some uneven leadership, it does have the advantage of letting PA &/or DD resume their rightful spot should they return. I'd say DeLuca should get it 1st, but that's just from an outsiders' perspective. Really, you guys should probably vote on it. ;)

There are plenty of conflicting ideas. Some people just know how to present them civilly.

I've already switched teams twice. Hey, yaneverknow.

 

If you have switched teams twice, then what is left? :unsure:

 

 

You realize that the only fish you are fishing for now is Korab, right?

I'm not even sure what this means, but I'm guessing its not a compliment.

You saying DeLuca is like Pomminstein? Dude is a lockerroom kind of guy. Brings what he's got even if it isn't all star stuff. You might have a good point.

Hey man, I'm in my prime. And I'm a badass when I need to be. I'll make them respect me. I'm Rivet with two good shoulders.

They're done with the captaincy. Would be too awkward if they came back and tried to lead the room. They wanted out, they got it. This is our team now.

I definitely see him as a good lockerroom guy, which is why I'd give him an 'A'. But I see him as more of an older Goose. He plays an important position and can be relied on for manning up to the dirty jobs no one else wants to do, but just doesn't have the wheels or hands to be a top liner. When the game is on the line, you'd want to see the captain out there, I'm not sure that I'd have him out there for that final shift of the night when you've got to score. In that regard, he's no B-Rod. ;)

Perhaps. But a captain KNOWS his teammates. Quotes like this:

 

(s)o, what's left of Team Stormcloud now that Dwight and PA aren't posting

 

make me question whether you've been a veteran on THIS squad long enough to get the 'C' outright. Add in a penchant for reasonableness, sometimes even when it isn't warranted, and I just don't know that you've got the total package to captain this crew. (Truthfully, I see you more of either a Mike Grier or James Patrick. You bring leadership and can show the rooks what it takes to make it in the bigs, but I just see you in more of a teaching/ respected veteran role than that of a captain. Sorry.)

Perhaps. And it would definitely be awkward at 1st. But I just don't see keeping their personalities down and when the time comes to drive that trolley off the tracks, I see them stepping up and getting a crew behind them to get 'er down in the gulley. And that's what the captaincy is (and should be all about) getting teammates to go where they need to be, not necessarily where they want to be.

I'll see your :nana: and raise you one :beer:

Civility isn't a requirement, but refraining from showing utter disdain for fellow posters who disagree with your patently false and/or unsupportable and/or completely fabricated situations and opinions is encouraged. It is also bad etiquette to turn every thread into a discussion of your own personal vendetta, especially when the arguments you raise in support of that vendetta are patently false and/or unsupportable and/or completely fabricated.

I bet if I got the "C" I'd take it seriosuly and elevate my game. I'd stop taking threads off and would push conversation right to the brink. I KNOW my game would change if I were captain. And whether I know these guys or not, they'd follow me. I'm the best they've got. :blink:

 

 

 

Put THAT in your crack pipe and smoke it. :devil:

Well, I'd say there are still enough contrary voices on hockey issues. GoDD combines those views with an excellent albeit frequently pornographic sense of humor. It was the humor that livened up the board, especially during the summer dog days.

On behalf of the older married guy crowd, I thank you for this post.

Up to you, of course, but this seems a bit overstated to me (not least because you used the phrase "patently false and/or unsupportable and/or completely fabricated" twice in a 3-line post).

 

Did GoDD stir the pot? Absolutely. But the questions he raised about Kaleta's uncle getting the contract to build the rink were not from outer space, nor were the statements about Lindy being over-aggressive in the episode with Adam. Could a thorough review of the facts completely exonerate the Kaletas? Should GoDD have undertaken a review like that before he started slinging allegations around? Could people have been offended by GoDD's comparison of Lindy with a pedophile? Absolutely, on all counts. But the underlying positions weren't, IMHO, totally whacked-out conspiracy theories like some that have been thrown around here.

 

Just my opinion, but I'd like both PAFan and GoDD back here and posting.
