I apologize for shaking the cockroaches out of the walls. If I could ban myself right now I would.

I was bad today.

If anyone actually like this stuff - and podcasts- check out Dan Carlin's hardcore history series "Supernova In The East"

20 hour series about imperial Japan

I still haven't been able to listen to the last 3 hours of episode 6. I was really disappointed in this episode I think it was just becoming gratuitously violent. And I've listened to just about every episode. The siege of Munster looks almost civilized compared to the Japanese

Dropping two Atomic Bombs on a defeated country is more heinous than anything the Japanese did, as horrible as they were in their war-tactics. But that's war - horrible. It's all horrible. Every country does unspeakable things in war.

They were both in short seasons

True, but big difference between 69 and 54 games. He shot 13.9% as a rookie...having a couple years where you rise 4-5% isn't outrageous. Don't be suprised if he's close to 20 again.

By the time we bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki we had already been firebombing Tokyo to the tune of 100000 + civilian dead.

The atomic bombs saved lives in the long run in my opinion and that's without hearing the end of the Dan Carlin podcast where I'm sure he would agree with that

I don't believe they're ever getting a slam dunk return for Eichel, even if he was 100% healthy.

The best they're getting a solid return, no matter how long they wait.

- kingcong39


I respect your opinion. Kinda suprises me.

I personally think gm ( chris Drury) is sitting around holding himself back from calling kagm all day everyday.

Or (rob blake) trying to ride eichel and Kopitar to a cup run or 2.

Eichel knows he cant bully his way out of buffalo.

His return is going to equate to his health.

With the Sabres history of losing trades, the Sabres really need to stick this out. If the return is mediocre its gonna make the peguals look (more) foolish for the mceichel tank.

We are not actively trying to win next season.
40 year old goalie style.
Rookie coach and 2nd year gm

Punt the trade return = losing next season

What if he "gets healthy " and actually plays again for the Sabres. I smell a Bruce smith type preseason injury approach to eichel with the regular season...

When he's ready, he's going to tell everyone in a 3rd person persona.

We all know that the reptillians made a pact with Eisenhower to give us the internet, but there is zero proof that the insectoids gave FDR the bomb in '35 (although my research continues)

So the natives learned it after the Britts came over in 1607? You are dumb.

They literally did it all over North America. For rituals. To become a warrior. To release the spirits of the dead.

They didnt learn that crap from the Britts

There doesn't need to be any approach as he's injured and needs surgery according to him.

Do you think the Sabres want him wearing the jersey ever again?

The person with the greatest impact on what transpired with the Sabres over the past decade is Milan Lucic

America has a history of staging attacks on ourselves or "shutting off the radios" to let attacks happen in order to get involved in wars.

Boston Tea Party, U.S.S. Maine, Pearl Harbor, 9/11, etc... Nothing new, really.

- Jet Jaguar BD



Good and interesting post bee dee

Ect. = jan 6th insurrection

Not sure if its "staging". Definitely self attack though, where the government overlooked security

The firebombings were bad enough but Japan was well and defeated by the time we dropped the bombs, don't kid yourself. Dropping nukes didn't save any lives, even if you're referring to additional Japanese casualties. The long-term effects of radiation were far worse than additional deaths in carpet-bombing.

No it was me. That's what I get for trolling but I thought the long-winded paragraph was very clearly a blatant troll-job, but I forgot who we're dealing with on here.
