    the proof will be in the pudding. All of his past woulda coulda shouldas are just that, the past. He has a fresh start here and it's a place he is coming back to after having been fired in the past. On the heels of another recent firing.

     

    He was hired to be a WINNER. Not much else will satisfy the fan base.

     

    I think it will be a fun ride either way.

     

    I will TRY to keep an open mind and give him the benefit of the doubt. But at this point I feel neutral about it

     

    SHOW SABRES FANS THE PLAYOFFS Lindy. We all want it! Anything else is just same ole same ole

     

    m

    Hired to get Sabres culture back on track!

     

    It all started with guys like Imlach and Bowman from other organizations.  Winning organizations.  Lindy just so happens to reach so far back to that past.  Sabres roots!

     

     

    We need something to connect to the legacy... The rink is a morgue in BFLo!

    Who else is looking forward to Boston vs. TO later today?  Will be cheering hard for the Bruins.

     

    My prediction: Bruins in 6.

     

    Probably the 1st round series I want to see the most.

     

    Who the hell doesn't know about the KC Scouts?

     

    Wonder if he remembers the Atlanta Flames or Colorado Rockies.

     

    Or California Golden Seals!  

    Well the Rockies were the Scouts and now the Devils.

     

    How about the Cleveland Barons!😊

    I didn't know Houston had/has an IHL/AHL hockey team and they led the league in attendance. All the more reason for them to have an NHL team. Plus, hockey in Texas has grown as a sport. Dallas really loves their Stars. 

     

    I knew the Devils came from KC but that was over 40 years ago. There first season in NJ was 1982.

    Yup. Came to NJ from KC via Colorado (Rockies)...

    I don't know if the arena the Houston Rockets use can be used for hockey. I do know KC has an arena that can be used for hockey. Years ago, the Islanders played a preseason game there. That is another market that the NHL could look at. 

    They played more than a preseason game there. 😆 

     

    Kansas City used to have an NHL team. The Kansas City Scouts are called the: New Jersey Devils now.

    And yet, but for the wheel it would be useless. 

    Yeah... But the wheel is basic. Of course it's great, I don't think that's ever in question.  BUT, it's like saying primary colors are the greatest. 

     

    Stuff like the wheel should get a look over to greater things. The wheel is an innately human invention that was bound to happen.

    What a hilarious way for the playoff race to end

    GOOD

     

    HATE the RedWings.

     

    Too bad the Sabres buggy whipped them 7-3 on March 12th.

     

    Ooops. Those points woulda helped.

     

     

     

    😆

    I’ve always thought this was BS and still do. 

    I agree a bit with you. The 1962s were the worse... BUT Nader did usher in changes... People were still getting impaled on their steering wheels with all makes models without collapsing steering columns, and other safety advances... Unfortunately, the Corvair took the brunt of the hit.   I mean, the 1962s did need aftermarket tweaking.  That's kinda bad...

    rule…first eclipse…just watch and experience. Second one play with your camera.


     

    I did thr 2012 annual at Grand Canyon and 2027 total st grand Teton.

     

    I was at my sisters friends in the 219/90 area. It was mostly cloudy.

     

    I was in clear skies for 2012 and 2027. 
     

    2027 totality was a narrower band than this one where time was around 3:20 vs 3:45. at totality in 2017 it was more like a dimmer switch on an overhead light making it darker but you had horizon blue skies.

     

    with it being overcast you can see the shadow coming and thrn dhafoe made it like midfle of the night thrn you could see something like a sunrise coming in the western ski.

     

    I hope to be alive in 2044 and 2045 to see the eclipses. I’ll be in my mid 70s

     

    the 2045 one in glacier. This is near the edge of totality and I have to check times and dunpositions if I want to do it from therr ve sunset in eastern montana/ western nd ( theodorecroosevelt  rlt np)

     

    the 2045 crosses the country through south/ central utah and Colorado hitting a bunch of national parks.

     

    I plan on going to the 2026 eclipse in august in Spain.


    others…

    the 2027 one will be a long one with sound 6:30 in totality. The longest possible is 7:32 in totality. This one hits far southern Spain, gilbtalter, north Morocco and it crosses nw to se Egypt 


    Nov 2030 there is one that crosses South Africa and Australia

    2033 one crosses Africa but it’s just off the coast of Ghana ( relatively sadder place to go for it)

    in Xmas 2038 time one crosses Australia and New Zealand 

    I still watched it in all it's glory! That's printed in my memory!

     

    Yet... You gotta learn it somehow... The camera aspect. I will be a pro for my next eclipse shooting.  I learned so much more shooting it for the duration. Exposures, my camera, etc... Such a valuable learning experience!

     

    I just need better time management.  I didn't think it was that critical.  Every second in totality counts when shooting.

     

    I didn't think it was gonna be that dark in totality.  I knew you could take off glasses off, but didn't realize lens filter must come off to. Pretty stupid I know, but 4 minutes breeze by when your staring up in awe...

     

    Totally slipped my mind that street lights would come on.

    "Look... I was going to kill her, but I got the yips and stumbled into Nicole and Ron getting tuned-up by random.  You gotta believe me!"

     

    😏 

     

    So much vice signaling in this thread.  😆🤣 

  10. Just a thought. What if OJ walked into an Andy Dufrasne situation? 😏 

     

     

    How would they have ever defended that. Wouldn't it be easier to win his defense on the sloppy and racist cop work? 

     

     

     

    Of course he still guilty in civil...

    That was a nice left/one handed catch by Joe Namath during warm-ups!!!

    This is great advice. As horrible as it is to get sodomized by the urologist, it can save your life. 

     

    On my last visit I asked the urologist if we were dating. :( 

    😆 

     

    My father @ the VA turned around and asked the doctor if he should kiss him. They threatened to send him to the psych ward.  😆... Ah the good ole days! Try that humor today and one may take you up on the offer!
