pi2000 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) pi, you ever do something really hard? You practice the whole routine, as much as you can. You don't half-ass it most of the time and do the real thing once in a while.His profession is NHL referee, not pro golfer. He's an excellent amatuer golfer, but due to his profession as NHL referee he uses a cart to get around the course as he needs to save his legs for skating 2hrs a night at NHL speed. Also, most top courses won't let you walk because it slows down pace of play. Edited June 7, 2018 by pi2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'm wayyyy out of shape, and I see this as no big issue. Golfing is not Hard (compared to other "sports") and being a fluid skater, makes skating at game speed as a no-contact referee even easier.

Brawndo Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 From John Shannon Shannon - Mike Babcock and Auston Matthews had their meeting in Arizona about the direction of the team moving forward. I keep hearing the meeting didn't go very well from a Babcock perspective. Who is fired first Babcock or Housley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Shannon also said we're trading O'Reilly for a 2nd round pick. And has floated the idea all season that he's untradable. For what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Da fuk? From my understanding, he said that we'd be "looking for a draft pick" and that he thinks it'd be a second. Which doesn't preclude us getting more pieces, but the guy who heard and told me about it said that Shannon was being ludicrous. Edit: Supposedly yes, Shannon said his value was a second. What's better is that in January, he claimed that ROR was unmovable, and Bob McKenzie calmly but firmly demolished him, talking about what ROR brings on the ice and how appealing it is that his actual salary drops to 6 mil next season. What a scrub though. If he was available for a 2nd, 30 different teams would offer a 2nd, and then the price would go up. Where's this scrub from, Venezuela?

Brawndo Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 They also asked Shannon what his dream destination for ROR would be, he of course he mentioned Montreal. He mentioned that Montreal might be willing to move 3rd Overall by flipping picks. Jeremy White asked if he meant Dahlin, he said no that the trade would be ROR and 32 for 3rd Overall.

TrueBlueGED Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 In all seriousness, has John Shannon every broken a story? Or at least broken any within the last 5 years? I honestly can't recall any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) It was a season full of coal that in the end revealed a solitary, sparkling Dahlin diamond. Some luck at last. Edited June 8, 2018 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I am clueless most of the time but why would the Sabres trade ROR? Is the talk around the campfire that he is available? We probably wouldn't make very good trade partners but I'd love to see him in a Jets' jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably wouldn't make very good trade partners but I'd love to see him in a Jets' jersey. I hope the Sabres don’t trade with the Jets, the results weren’t outstanding for us last time, and it’s just too hard on me, living here. :lol: But I kinda think they do make good trade partners. Sabres are deeper at C and the Jets are very deep on the wing, where the Sabres are lacking. Jets have their top C locked down for the foreseeable future, but with all due respect to Roslovic who’s still mostly potential, they aren’t the deepest team at C, ROR would be dominant on the Jets second line with their quality stable of wingers. As for why the Sabres would trade ROR, I cant say. If there aren’t locker room issues, he’s too valuable to trade. If they trade him, I can only assume there’s something there. Or at least enough concern where if Botts gets a really good deal he pulls the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
