I do appreciate Weave's support and I do think that Hucks reply to my post was out of line and showed a general disrespect. That said, I agree with you that I, nor my post, was the target of that disrespect. It is well known that I am not a Christian, but I still found the image in the link you posted (not you for posting it, mind you) very distasteful. If I were a Christian I would find Hucks post extremely disrespectful. I'm almost as religious as you and I did not find it insulting. A little ignorant, maybe, but also coming from a culture where atheism is increasingly the norm. In general, I think we need to reconsider what we get outraged about on this board. It's turning into a 24/7 sensitivity training. I don't want people calling each other fa---ot or things like that, but imagine if I complained every time someone used a phrase like "cancer in the dressing room"? Does it bug me a little bit? You bet. Is it enough to make an issue out of it? Not even close. I've been trying to stay out of board meta-drama the last couple of years but I want this to remain a fun place. Can we all leave a little room for each other? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) Oilers are looking for scoring and are prepared to pay. "the team could be willing to part with their first-round pick, a goaltender, (and) maybe a young developing forward." Is Puljujarvi packing his bags? Talbot too? An Edmonton Journalist wrote Monday that he interprets Rishaug's report to mean that Kailer Yamamoto, Tyler Benson, Cameron Hebig or even Jesse Puljujarvi could be on the move depending on the Oilers' return - in addition to one their NHL goaltenders and a first-round pick. edit ... How does that GM still have a job? Lucic for another 4 years at 6m per and they are only 2.25m away from the cap not counting ELC bonuses. A waste of McDavid's talent.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 My apologies for contributong to the derilment of this great thread. I hate to call on a mod to clean up after us, but maybe they could. I would delete my initial reply to PA, but that really would not help. Sorry, but one last thing ... @shrader ... then it's worse than I thought, if you are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NS and Huckleberry aren't trolls. People can have genuine negative opinions about religion. It wasn't targeted at NS. Also, I didn't know the topic of religion was also placed under LTS' purview.

Look, I don't think we're going to make the playoffs. But the season is hardly over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sabres would be 8th in the East in pts% on Friday night if they win their next 2, and the Habs lose on the road in Columbus. We'd be one point behind with a game in hand. Not saying that's definitely gonna happen but 3 games bouncing your way in a row isn't a huge stretch. So, "over", is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the real funky thing is that they are not very far out of the playoffs in the West. The West has 6 dominant teams and then everybody else bunched together way back. I think the Rookies (man, I am having one of those old geezer moments again ... they have not been the Rookies in forever) ... Colorado is the Sabres of the West. One great line and then not much atol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
