  1. I do accept that the cut off is mostly arbitrary, but at the same time picks 1-5 are almost always an impact player, where 6-10 are generally going to be NHL players but not necessarily difference makers. I'll put it this way, if you were sitting on pick #3, would you trade it for pick 8 and 9 in the same draft? I don't think most teams do it, and that tells me the relative values of those picks.
  2. Muenster sandwich for lunch with brown horseradish mustard on some seedy bread.
  3. Toronto was bad for several years while the Sabres were trying to be good. They're on like year 4 or 5 of their rebuild. Someone upthread posted about that many of their good players now were top-10 picks. That's why they're ahead. Matthews, Marner, Nylander, and Reilly are all top-5 picks in the last 5 years. The Sabres last 3 are Eichel, Reinhart, and Vanek, and before that Turgeon? The Maple Leafs were bad for years, stock piled talent, and have had a great coach for the last two years. They are at least a year, if not 2 or 3 ahead of the Sabres in rebuild.
  4. And a fan in the stands when he was a player!
  5. Can we change the name of Alamo mode at the end of a game up by one to Roquefort?
  6. I believe it originates from:
  7. I stopped at Aldi last night to pick up some bread (already had milk and eggs, natch), and ended up with sliced gouda, havarti, and muenster. Smurf you guys for putting this in my head. And smurf you too that I want Five Guys after the burger discussion.
  8. You do, but having two really strong centers ahead of you is going to make that a tough row to hoe. But, if Samson ends up being better than Jack or ROR I think we all, even you :), will be ecstatic. Also true! Samson is in either a no-win or no-lose situation depending on how the observer was predisposed to view him!
  9. Insight, thank you!
  10. I agree, but if Samson only matches this year's point total, there's going to be a bunch of people yelling bust. They'll conveniently ignore the drop in ice time and linemate quality.
  11. Erectile Disfunction?
  12. Can or bottle?
  13. I have mistaken Volbeat for Metallica on a number of occasions.
  14. We've been remiss: spndnchz. A huzzah for the cheesiest of mods.
  15. No worries. So, do you eat the rind or no? I generally do, with no ill effects.
  16. 1. Aged Mimolette (you can find it at Wegs) 2. Manchego 3. Aged Parmesan Reggiano, in chunks for eating 4. Fresh Mozzarella 5. A nice strong Brie 6. All of them, really. My man!
  17. Recently used Havarti and Goulda. 5/5 would make again. Gruyere is good too.
  18. Eating the single chicken finger my daughter didn't finish. Half of it in one piece, the rest pre-cut. Good to see we're both livin' the good life.
  19. It seems like there's a disconnect between the two sides as what a "good" NHL D looks like, and whether McNabb is one. My guess is he's a 5-6
  20. I stand smurfing corrected.
  21. Pokey is relentless though, I have found him to be the voice of complete and utter pessimism around here, so I think he might be the resident. His plus-minus is so minus even PI2000 can't believe it. It's still preseason though, so some of the veteran pessimists may come back into the line-up. I think it's generally frowned-upon to post links to illegal streams.
  22. Come on, there's still plenty of ways to throw shade on someone that doesn't involve minorities or gender. There are piles of excrement words for that. Just be a little smurfing creative, you mothersmurfer!
