Did Utah jump a full 10 spots by winning the second drawing or did they jump 9? It feels strange that the prize for them would be identical whether they win the first or the second drawing. And actually, this has me wondering about a different scenario. What if it had been reversed, Utah wins the first drawing and the Islanders the second. Does NYI wind up with 1 overall in that scenario?

Ahhh, so that's one specific team winning the big lottery. I didn't think of that possibility.

Where is that 0.2 for 3rd coming from?

Another goalie dump 30-some years down the road like they had a couple years back with Barrasso and Vernon I guess. They had cups though, which unfortunately we all know they put a lot of weight on. Lundqvist did get in that year too without a cup. He had a much better career though. I guess Miller will have to hope that a bunch of new stud goalies show up in the near future.

I used to think so, but I’m not so sure anymore. His big claim was having the most wins from any US born goalie, but that’s gone now. He’ll be 3rd soon enough. Is the one Vezina enough?

He does have something now that he never had before, Shesterkin.

When did he get into the hall of fame?

The other thing is that the Bills took a committee approach to catching passes last year. Looking at one single game ignores the fact that a different receiver was leading the way each week. The two guys in question were 4th and 6th on the team in total reception yards. So go pick some other game randomly and you’ll be pretty likely to see the other guys leading the way.

But that would offend the league’s gambling overlords. That will never happen.

Weren’t there some metrics last year that showed every offseason addition as being high end speed?

He gained 4 yards by throwing an interception. That’s 3d chess right there. I don’t want to be disrespectful by calling it college radio, but I guess it would have been fine. Edit: Oops, I did call it that. I meant it as an analogy and didn’t realize it was fact.

Enjoy it. These shows will never get old for me.

When I decide to turn on the station, I tend to get there right around 10am. I pretty much never catch the morning show, so I can't really speak to them. Most of the rest is either state run radio or amateur hour. Unfortunately, if you want to hear Buffalo stuff, you really don't have many options. As for the bolded? That's probably my favorite comment of the day.

I wish they’d give the scenario for each top speed. It’s probably the same situation for each one, chasing an icing or something like that.

I hate the “what if” game. I prefer “what is”. We could reduce pretty much every single situation down to a game like this if we wanted to. The fact of the matter is that he did draft Josh Allen and he has been one of the most successful GMs in the league over that time. But anyway, I finally listened to that last night. I get the feeling that something other than football got to Beane in the last few days.

There’s a local amber alert today that matches my wife’s car and our daughter. This should be fun.

Well I seem to have struck a nerve.

I was very curious to see what you’d say when you disagreed with my post about WGR being low quality radio. I wasn’t expecting this.

WGR as a whole

Very low quality. But anyway, how was this year’s WR class anyway? I really don’t hear all that much about it.

I have very little faith in anyone WGR rolls out there. They’re college radio most of the time.

They do it all year. It’s their job. Edit: And these games are Friday/Sunday/Thursday/saturday/friday. That’s not doing it all again the next night. These game formats exist solely because travel is an issue. They would go 1-1-1 if it wasn’t. Rochester/syracuse is about as close to that as you can get.

So would you say this is a good thing or a bad thing? I like what I’m reading here from the Beane perspective, but that’s just my personal spin based on pretty much zero information.

But then there’s his BU boy Chris Drury calling the shots for the rags (for now?). That feels like the fit for me. Apparently he wanted him a few years back but he wasn’t available. On a side note, I’m not sure how I feel about coaching family. I worry about the conflict of interest there… especially if it’s the typical in-law relationship😁

I thought I was pretty clear on the Rochester-Syracuse part. There’s no travel concern there. Hell, the Amerks did just that from 3/21-3/23 this year during the season. I’d love to see it happen at some point when two close teams match up.
