Yeah, but we're trending towards a 27 point season! Maybe the wildcard spot will be 55 points this year so we only need to win one more point per three games to make it!

There's no way the reaction would be the same if it were January and the team played two stinkers in a row. The Sabres aren't going to finish 0-55-27. Kane isn't going to pot 109 goals and Pominville isn't going to have 55. Jack may end up around 82 points though!

I've been reading it on Kindle; it's one of the free books if you subscribe to Amazon Prime. His approach to things is somewhat like mine (without the brilliance), I tend to be more intuitive than methodical, which works most of the time but burns me a lot too.

"Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman". awesome book, although his attitude towards women is a little jarring, if period-correct. There's a nice chapter about how he gave weekly lectures in Buffalo for a few months at what's now Calspan, and became a regular at a bar down on Chippewa called "The Alibi Bar". Nice write-up about the chapter and the bar: http://www.pigeonroost.net/richard-feynman-and-the-alibi-room/

It's not gilded, it's safe.

Same here, even though I have a copy. * white-breasted North American vulture *

I thought that was beer!

Someone needs to teach Beauleiu the bare necessities.

Tough crowd! He's averaging 1 PPG. :)

How this thread works: Last year coming out of the All-star break, the Sabres had 60 points and 22 games remaining. Working on assumption that 93 points is roughly where the playoff bubble sits at the end of the season, the Sabres needed 33 of 44 available points to have a reasonable shot at the playoffs. Starting out the year, 164 available - 94 points (I'm moving the bubble up a point) == 70 points that can be lost before making the playoffs becomes rather unlikely. I wasn't really going to update it all season, but why not. So we started at 70, they've lost 3 so far this season (pending today's outcome), so they're at 67.

The Sabres D has got to tie up the forwards' heads in the crease.

I don't think so, those reports came out last season, before he was moved to 3C. Maybe he had a bad attitude about something else, but I don't think this is it.

I was looking forward to Stafford's triumphant return.

Something something MSG Go, I thnk, but I don't know the details.

Something that isn't agreeing with me. :sick:

I wasn't really going to update it all season, but why not. Precipice extravaganza!!! I wasn't going to update, but the math is really easy now: Games played: 57 Points: 44 Games remaining: 25 Win Streak to get back to 94-point pace: 25 games. Points per game to reach 94: 2 Season Points at that pace: 164 (82-0-0) Record per 10: 10-0-0

Hey, that's sexist. The gender-neutral term is ligersmurfer.

I am so smurfing ready.

So I'm not sure if this is applicable, but supposedly hanging your head upside down is reported to be good for calming down. That can take the form of lying off a couch or whatnot, or doing a "downward facing dog" yoga pose.

I was pretty young for the Ground Round, but I vaguely remember it (on Transit near French, I think). My Dad hated the food there, so we never went back.

My what?

It only takes one non-sensible GM to offer $7M x 7 years, I think there's at least one out of 31.

How on earth did Montreal not just pick D-Lo up on waivers, like, two days ago? I must be missing something.

I picked up a 5X recently from gizmotrader through Amazon used for around $220, so it's an option. The phone is in good shape, the only visual defects I can see are some places where something was stuck to the back. Battery seems to be OK, too. Nice part is you can return it if there's an issue.
