Watching now. Doc Sevrinson (sp?) national anthem - outstanding! EDIT: as good as I remembered. Thanks for posting.

Nothing against Hagler, but I was on Hitman too. Hagler was a southpaw, no?

RIP. Hagler-Hearns was epic. It's a shame that boxing eventually became irrelevant to me, Hagler was part of it's great history.

You and I in a little toy shop Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got Set them free at the break of dawn 'Til one by one, they were gone Back at base, bugs in the software Flash the message, "Something's out there!" Floating in the summer sky Ninety-nine red balloons go by

No specific play or game but definitely OJ for me. 100% agree with the bolded.

If you can't beat em....beat em!

Where's the middle finger emoji when you really need it?

No. Don't remember ever hearing the term 4 track. I'm fortunate enough to have missed out on the 8 tracks. I remember listening to an 8 track in someone's car and a song fading out, a clicking sound as the track changed and the same song fading back up and thinking....WTF!?!? But at that point cassettes were around (maybe not in cars yet?) so I guess that's akin to so many WTF moments my kids have with me.

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human, silly human race, On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place, If the summer change to winter, yours is no, Yours is no disgrace

RIP. Back in the day cassettes were how I shared music with friends. It was a given that when you bought an album you'd record it on cassette for your friends. But I don't miss pulling that cassette out of the player in the car and seeing a long trail of tape because it got munched. And then using a pen to spin the tape back into the cassette and hoping it didn't sound like sh!t - or get munched again.

That's the part I find interesting. I could easily argue that the Pegula's hiring the unknown of McBeane is more impressive than the Isles hiring the known commodity of Lou/Trotz. @May Day 10 made a good point about the amount of control the Pegulas are willing to cede to their staff. But then look at Wang who knew nothing about hockey and gave the keys to the car to Milbury. What a disaster that was! I'm reminded every time I see Chara on the ice

Totally agree. My biggest fear for the Isles going forward is Lou's health. The blind squirrel was referencing whether the Isles lucked into him. That team has been a joke for way too long with a bad owner (Wang). I was surprised when he agreed to come to a team with a bad 30 year run and no arena. Agreed but my question is whether you think L&M were blind squirrels in landing Lou and Trotz since you think the Pegulas got lucky with McBeane.

I know you're an Isles fan (#metoo) - and apologies to Sabres fans if the perception is I'm turning this into an Isles thread - but do you think the Isles ownership was a blind squirrel when they hired Lou? How about Trotz? At the very least we lucked into that hire. Who lets their Stanley Cup winning coach walk? I think finding the right guys is easier said than done. Interesting parallels between the Bills, Sabres and Isles. From the outside looking in the Sabres have a lot of talented players but right now are a train wreck. McBeane came in and made some unpopular moves unloading talented players and managed to turn it around (granted Josh's ascension was a huge factor). When Lou/Trotz came in they lost their marquee player to free agency and replaced him with Filppula, Komarov and Kuhnackl - not exactly household names but the next year the Isles were markedly better and have been ever since. I don't know the first thing about Kevyn Adams except the Pegulas just hired him. But (again) from the outside looking in the coach looks like he's lost the locker room so as a next step I'd take a page out of the Bills playbook and can Kruger like they did with Ryan when it was obvious it wasn't working.

52-17 was out coached?

Did she host a variety show?

I took a ride in a world I'll be spinnin' for the rest of my life I feel your heart beatin' baby ooo sometimes it cuts like a knife So are you tough enough for my love Just close your eyes to the heaven above I'm coming home I'm coming home

Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law Lawman has put an end to my running, and I'm so far from my home

He's never made the playoffs. I wouldn't be averse to bringing him in as the backup for a year if he was interested. If he retires, I wish him all the best. For a guy that never made the playoffs he has multiple fan bases that like him. Definitely a unique career.

Well, long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee Help me find a party that tried to get in touch with me Did not leave a number, but I know who placed the call 'Cause my uncle took the message, and he wrote it on the wall

Deonte Thompson?

Fair enough. It's funny, I come on this board and Eichel is a whipping boy, but the local media is claiming that the Rangers will be first in line if he's available.

Echoes of reggae comin' through my bedroom wall Havin' a party up next door but I'm sittin' here all alone Two lovers in the bedroom and the other starts to shout, All I got is this blank stare and that don't carry no clout at all Destination unknown Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby Soho

I'm not a Sabres fan so I don't know the details but from a distance it looks like Kruger has lost the locker room. Apparently the other night the Rangers studio guy blew up the Sabres effort after the game. If true, I put that on the coach.

Who gives a damn about the songs you're playing? Just saying Sometimes I feel so old, yeah, am I deaf? Or am I just a little left of what they listen to today?
