Anyone who blames another for a lost wager absolutely deserves to lose their entire bankroll. How about manning up...doing your own capping and taking responsibility for your own wagers and money management. 

No one is holding a loaded pistol to your head forcing you to hit the submit button. If you can't handle the heat...maybe gardening or birdwatching would be more your speed.

 I think there is plenty of talent on the roster it is an organizational problem. The message from the organization is not a winning one. They are obviously not getting the most out of their players year after year after year. 

They need to totally shake things up with a Tortz type of coach. Work these players into the ground and hold them accountable. Some benchings are in order IMO. Mostly my thread is an indictment of the organization bringing in Ruff to try to restore a historic good feel to the losing that has apparently become acceptable in Buffalo.

 Merry Christmas Polar. All my best to your family and loved ones.

Does anyone know how long they signed a recycled Lindy Ruff for who was horrid with a terrific Devils roster ( outside of goaltending ). This organization should be donated to Quebec City. The number of high draft picks year after year and total ineptitude astounds me. If they go down tonight I think it is 11 in a row.

This Buffalo team just surprises me every year. They have a roster that you would think would get them around if not into the playoffs but they continue to be missing something. Hiring Lindy Ruff was one of the most idiotic moves I have seen in recent years. Trying to recapture past glory with a guy that was a disaster with the Pitchforks. It seems any way I play these guys I lose so I am staying away. 

But I wish you good luck Jab.

I think the Pens may take it tonight but I am wrapped up in college football so if I play it it will be small.

This is a really bad post. You should be doing your own homework instead of blaming others.

I am with you on the Washbags. I like their grit and grime. Blue collar hard working dirtbags like I used to be. 

Bonne chance ce soir mon ami.

Florida had lost 5 of 6 coming into that game and were not scoring. Taking a struggling team at -175 is dangerous. The great and extremely missed Lippsman would tell you absolutely never bet an NHL line above -140. If you like that team...parlay it or play the -1 or puck line to reduce juice. 

Caps are smoking hot early this season and are overachieving only according to the pre-season prognosticators. They seem to have gelled as a team and play a pretty heavy game themselves.

I don't think the line itself is the problem. Upsets in the NHL are a daily occurrence.

Good luck.

My beer league ended at 46 after too many injuries. Was playing almost continuously since I was 6 years old except for my 3 year tour in Tennessee. My body took it on the chin though.

Torn rotator cuff

Torn elbow tendon

Double sports hernia

Herniated disk in lower back

Herniated disk in neck

Grade 2 concussion

Its a rough sport brother.

 F%CKED the barmaid last trip...

I have lost 3 Labrador Retrievers over the past 20 years including the one on my Covers pic here. It is horrible. You can feel their presence for quite a while especially when the house is quiet. I like to think that is their soul sticking with you.

Before it has to be done...I usually grill up a steak and let them have a great last meal. Except the one here was diabetic and succumbed at only 9 years old. When it was here time I gave her a heaping bowl of vanilla ice cream.

They give us unconditional love and loyalty. Very hard to find that in a human being.

My sympathy goes out to you.

I like the Avs tonight but not paying -145 for it. 

The GM was picked by Neely who I believe is president of hockey operations. If you fire the GM than you admit you made a mistake. The easy road is blame the coach and keep your job especially with a detached ownership who is not really involved in anything as long as the barn is sold out. Sweeney has really ruined a fairly good roster IMO as I mentioned in another thread last night.

It had to be done but really Don Sweeney should also be shown the door IMO.

Time to send up the Bat Signal

@tribalson

 Good points...but I hate seeing a team that has no heart. Goes against everything that B stood for in the old days.

How about this...Ovi scores 2 goals and the Washbags lose 3-2. Good luck you crazy heathen...

I think so GA. I was not in favor of firing Bruce Cassidy 2 seasons ago because the players ( deBrusk ) were whining and crying about ice time. That being said...I don't really blame Montgomery. Sweeney is a horrid GM IMO. He lets character guys like Bertuzzi walk for cheap money and then fucks up the goaltending situation.

That being said...there are too many soft Euros on this team that play well when times are good but don't go to the net and into the dirty areas. Hampus Lindholm...Pastrnak and Elias Lindholm all fit in that category to me.

Also...Marchand has not shown he can be a leader worthy of the "C" and rally the troops. They have no fight and are listliss. They need to fire Monty not really because its his fault but because the team has quit. Bring in the hardest coach you can and beat these guys down like you would do in boot camp to get them to realize it is not about the one but the unit. 

I am beyond pissed. Funny you posted this because my buddy sent me a link for tickets in the Loge 5 rows back going for 69 dollars right before game time.

Maybe we can have a wager on who will finish worse...the Bear or the Tuxedos.

6-7-1  -1.80         Spent a lot of the last week cleaning the 750,000 leaves out of my yard and hauling them into the woods. All done now  Let's try these tonight...

LES HABITANTS  +215    Just a gut feeling but the Habs are getting a little more healthy

HOCKEY TEAM  -115    Crapbags shot their wad last night in Vegas and then partied with hookers. 

DEAD WINGS  -145     If they don't win this one...call it a season and sell your assets.

Good luck everyone.
