I just finished reading that decision. That's was transparent judicial elasticism at its finest. What a crock of crap. I'm not expressing an opinion on the administration's policy or how it was implemented. It does look like Trump's legal team vomited on itself, but that fact shouldn't permit the Court from making up crap just to take advantage of its own self-interest (and I'm not even saying that it is a politically-motivated decision). The court was deciding a motion to reinstate the ban. They went out of their way to say that the States' marginal standing claim has merit "at this stage" of the proceeding. The logic they used to support standing to argue for the citizens of seven foreign countries is stupid. They say that Washington and Minnesota can argue on behalf of their State University faculty and students and their families affected by the ban. Okay, fine, but then the court could have/should have restored the ban to only State University students and faculty -- not EVERYONE. Later, they say that the 5th amendment protects "individuals" even who don't reside here and aren't green card holders, but who hold visas. How then does that apply to Syrian refugees who have no such status. Huh? How does that follow? They went out of their way to say that their decision is only really in effect until the appeal of the district court order is decided and "at this stage" it appears that the government doesn't have a winnable case on the merits. The court's reasoning and logic was flimsy and disengenuous at best. It seems pretty clear that they don't care because their self-interest had to be to get the spotlight off of them for the time being. Checks and balances are one thing (and one thing I was hopeful for no matter who won the election in November) but one branch can't make s**t up just to exercise restraint on another. That's abuse and it's lame and it is especially lame when courts do it.

Wait. Do I have to read this thread to know what's in it?

Why would anyone want him to stay?

A little bit nuts does not disqualify her in the hot/crazy scale. Not even close.

Cleveland Browns braintrust: "Lee's a perfect fit for what we are trying to accomplish".

Wow. What a total Joke. God bless the guy, he keeps getting jobs.

I'm on the fence. I don't think he's going anywhere. I think Gionta is as good as gone. I wonder whether Kane wants to stay in Buffalo, so if he isn't moved, what's his motivation going to be in the future? I have no idea whatsoever, just wondering. I also wonder (given he does have a lot of value because of production and that he is locked up through next year) what you would try to get in return? Would you go for the most talent playing in the NHL now? Would you focus on picks and prospects? Would you try to package him with Gorges or Moulson to free up $$? Lots of options.

Wow, he hit the boards hard. I wish this team could string some together. At a minimum they've shown a consistent ability to make third period comebacks.

... but Oakland, Washington and Philly. And don't forget Tennessee and Tampa Bay.

??? who are you comparing them to ??? New England Picked 2 QB, 6 WR and 9 DB's. Cleveland picked 3 QB 6 WR and 10 DB's.

I don't see this going well. What will Lynch's role actually be? Book the flights and make sure the equipment gets there on time? But better yet, leave the HC duties AND personnel to a first-timer.

Nope. No deal is no deal. Not only that, but on top of it you went right back to pasting the flowers on the parade float.

I sent an email to a Pats fan today. It said "congratulations, that one looked legit".

Just lay off the salutes to the Super Bowl champs and I won't bring up the trap. Deal? You can keep up with your Kane love. I don't think he's going anywhere.

All I can say is neutral zone trap.

Haha! The bombardment stupid decision ray. So the opposing team and their coaches should line their hats with tinfoil (like I do).

Matt Ryan is the most un-clutch player ever. No faith in him pulling this off.

Chicken soup and NyQuil. I was going to be a bit more ambitious, but don't have the energy.

Guy Boucher has expressive eyes.

Perhaps he's right, but I think a more important stat is the amount of times the puck is in the back of each team's net. Call me crazy.

I'm only responding to the bolded part. The Rangers' (run of the mill at this point in his career) goalie didn't really need to work too hard. This is in spite of what appeared to be a lot of scoring chances for the home team. Many of those opportunities were routine saves and the Rangers' defense made Lundquist's life easy last night. That doesn't happen every night for that team and Lundquist isn't capable of carrying that team anymore. On the other hand, Lehner had to make a lot of big saves to keep the Sabres in the game. If Grabiner had better hands, he would have had three or four goals on his own. The difference was a lack of defensive support. A team can't ask its (run of the mill at this point in his career) goaltender to continually keep them in games. Last night, the Sabres did that and the Rangers didn't. And Jack Eichel held the puck way too long all night.

Ha! I was going to say Glanville. Wyche is a good choice though. Remember his "you're not from Clevelend" stunt?

The tradition should be that if the stupid groundhog sees its stupid shadow then it is immediately beheaded and roasted on a spit. Every idiot who attends the jackass ceremony would then be forced to eat a chunk of it. And, no, I don't want to extend this to other events like the Oscars or Miss America, etc.

Lundquist is, again, our main hope for a win in this game. They've got to find a way to gum up the speed on those first three lines of the Rangers.
