let's go Sabres!!!
(but seriously, i don't care much for this sport. It's fun to watch in person, but something about how it's shown on TV doesn't pull me into it... and also apparently fails to attract viewers... but i root for Buffalo, and that means I hope the sabres do well, even though they lost alot of talent in the offseason)
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
@Abdula: yes, both on and off the ice. Game outcomes are still mostly determined by the officials, who are still calling penalties willy-nilly so the players don't know what's legal and what's not on any given night. Tough guy players are singled out and penalized for breathing hard or looking in the other team's direction. The front office reviews all "questionable" plays and hands out suspensions and fines, regardless if the on-ice officials called a penalty on the play. Two guys just got fined for trash-talking during pre-game warmups. It's not like their comments were shown on air and the FCC had to get involved, it was just the NHL front office doing their gestapo impersonation.
The on-ice game sucks too. Players are afraid of penalties and suspensions which results in long stretches of back and forth skating with no physical contact. There's less passion, almost zero aggression, and little excitement in games. Arena seats are empty and Versus shows the same 2 teams almost every week (the Penguins and Rangers).
@masa: lots of people complain they can't see the puck on TV (hence the stupid Fox glow puck a few years back), but one writer had a great argument: how can people follow the ball in baseball? They don't, they follow the action. Same thing in hockey. Look for the guy being chased by almost everyone on the other team and that's where the puck is.
Btw, the Sabres suck, they don't let Andrew Peters play.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
