Bring jobs back to America so people have a reason to finish high school and college. A reason NOT to have a criminal record. A reason not to be a drug addict junkie and break into my car twice a week. People actually have to be missing out on something to feel like they are midding out on something.

did you hear about the 20k a week High School student drug ring that was just busted in Ohio??

a 17 year old kid with 2 buddies had "high end" weed coming in and had warehouses bought and growing acres of weed. They had 40 year olds getting paid and working for them..

They said they would all make 20+k a week EACH.. they had collected over 2 million in worth of growing plants too I think..

it was sick.

hes just mad that Burke reached with his first round pick and the Sabres got great value in there pick.

I mean how often does a top 5 pick at the start of the year ..... then mid year is ranked number 2 and falls to us at 12. How often does that happen???

Grigs was considered a top 5 or even top 3 pick in the draft all year long ....then gets mono and had bad playoff and TSN / Scouts kill is ranking for no real reason / he was sick and drops to a perfect fit in the Sabres.

he would be on the 3rd or 4th line ...

It really sucks for him

No offense (and I like Nathan, don't get me wrong), but if Gerbe is on anything other than your 3rd or 4th line, your team is in trouble.

I had mono when I was in high school. I couldn't even imagining trying to play hockey after recovering from it. You're tired 24/7. Glad no other team wanted to roll the dice on this guy.

I think Gerbe and his present 1.5M contract... is in trouble..

He is an RFA in 2 years and it seems to be very slim he will even be qualified.

It looks good on paper, but I wouldnt say the pick is a success yet. We will have to wait a couple years to figure that one out.

And he's not a bad player to have. He works his a$$ off, and could probably pop in 10-12 goals or so. I'll take that from a 4th line guy any day

yeah exactly ..... i see him as a top 3 pick still and should make the team. I mean hes "ranking" shouldnt have dropped him off that fair. But thats good for the Sabres. "Fail for Mikhail" and getting him with the 12 pick is fine with me!

So are you blaming women for this?
- HonkFortheGoose

not at all

way too many people and not enough jobs

the work force nearly doubles and the job then gets devalued

not a woman issue, a numbers issue

The fact that he was out there with Mono shows something to me..

Girgensons played 2 periods of a playoff game with a broken jaw.

We have two VERY good players right there.

Vanek - Hodge - Pommer
Foligno - Ennis - Stafford
Ott - Grigorenko - Girgensons
Leino/Tropp/Gerbe - McM - Kaleta

I think Tropp goes to the A because he still has that option where the Gerbe and Leino do not.

I can also say that a lot of jobs people wont take thats why they are carted off to mexico or employeed illegals. The old way of having the social respect by having a job no matter what is long gone.

In reality.. it really was Burke and the Leafs that allowed Grigorenko to fall all the way to us.. otherwise I think we would have taken Girgensons instead of Faksa

As I'm sure it does Regier too.. but Hockey is a business.. its a job.. if you don't show up and do your part of it.. you should be fired...

In his case.. he should be amnesty claused or put in Rochester because I think Gerbe/Tropp can give more to this team on the 4th line than Leino can.

Thats a whole different argument. Thats just entrepreneurship taken to a whole new level by young people. It just happened to be illegal.

Basically you have demand for something, in this case weed, which by all measurements does little damage to individuals or society. They took that demand and made a very successfull business out of it. This is the part where you could argue the government is only screwing themselves on taxes.

Hockey comment that makes this post relavent. Its like how the Maple Leafs sucks ass so bad for so long, but demand for good hockey is so high, that they are considering a second hockey team there.
