Bread and circuses.

 

It's right out of the Larry Quinn Handbook 1995-1996. Legends of the Aud. The team sucked under Ted Nolan then too.

 

By the way, you must be my brother from another mother.

 

Got my tickets. Going with my Brother and Parents. Very excited to see this happen.

 

He did play one season with the cross swords, should it be red/black, or Blue/Gold?

 

 

Now you can be sad for me. It should be Red Wing red. Dom said as much when he was traded there.

I agree. I'm still not wrong, though.

 

Especially when you throw in the Pizza Logs. :)

 

It's also just about perfect that on the night Dom's Jersey is raised, Nolan will be behind the bench, and a team that can't score to save their lives will be on the ice. Just like old times.

PA, It's not your fault.

You are wrong. Bread and circuses is something done to distract the masses from problems. Hasek's number would be retired even if we were Cup contenders. It's being done because it's the right thing to do.

 

And the Sabres currently have no problems whatsover... :blink: . I'm sure Hasek is about as thrilled with this "honor" as he would be with a letter of recognition from his middle school for Outstanding Achievment. Plus, doing it on a night when the opposing team is the one Hasek jumped to is rubbing salt in the wounds on both sides. To me, this "honor" has all the appeal of watching eye surgery. Well, I suppose it's a way for the Sabres to sell out at least one game this season. :rolleyes:

Or perhaps, both he and the Sabres were on board w/ this being the appropriate game. It seems implausible that he had no say in the choice of opponent.

 

I'd've preferred it to be against the Otters especially if Yashin could have taken part. Hasek and Peca completely tore down any belief some might have had that Alexei could lead anything.

Richly deserved.

 

Not my favorite Sabre ever (hardly), but, nonetheless, the greatest hockey player ever to wear the home team's uniform.

 

Uncle Smell, would you please please plllleeeeaaaase tell the story about how you went to Dom's house that time and saw him in a terry cloth robe?????? But this time tell us what really happened at the end?

(Giggling)

 

Also, it was not a terrycloth robe. It was silk, or at least sheer. Also included in the outfit: overly long athletic shorts and flip-flops/slides.

If Dom had some say in the night and he chose a night we play Detroit then F him. Cancel it. It's like one last FU to the Sabres.

 

We know Dom. We know you left a talent hole that you wouldn't allow to be filled when you left, then won a Cup with Detroit. Or do you just want them to see what a number retirement party looks like to plant the seed that they will retire your number as well? Do we really need to retire his number? There are a whole host of goalies who have lost a SCF with their team. They didn't get their number retired.

 

Sorry. That's a little negative. You know, it will be a great night. We'll all join together to celebrate the greatest goalie to ever play for the Sabres, for the league. It will be great.

 

 

And the we'll watch the worst team in the history of the league., PA, say hi to dad.
