How about from the Skyway over the green space next to the F'N center? I think he won something like 15 of 20 against the Islanders, right? (I heard that as I was working)

Maybe they're going to list him as D. :)

Answer 1: I only care about what my team is doing, and we have to be better; I have to be better. Answer 2: Edmonton was terrible for a lot longer time before getting to this point. I'm not worried, the Sabres will be there next near. Paging PHam, Paging PHam.

Especially PHam, he loves poking players in the eye to make himself feel important.

Unfortunately, they're struggling with Bylsma's golf coaching; hit a wedge off the tee, and then a fairway driver and hope it lands on the green.

I think we'd both be down with having the whole house done up in Mission, although she likes a lot of Art Nouveu too. I'm undecided. :) I should say, the prints aren't original but some of the more current Roycroft Artisans; originals would be way cool. We have an original Roycroft Power House roof tile; someone had a bunch and sold them not too long ago. It's kinda silly, but we both grew up a few miles from there so it reminds us of home. Our wedding reception was at the Roycroft Inn, which is just an incredible room. The guest rooms are sweet too. Stock photo:

I never thought of them as woodcut-like before reading that about them tonight, but that's a pretty apt description. MrsPie has some Roycroft wood cut prints around there that are pretty cool.

I realize it might not be your style, but BRUTE! style (as seen on KMFDM album covers) hockey posters would be so boss. BTW, I saw this and though of your previous employer: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/01/opinion/sunday/jerks-and-the-start-ups-they-ruin.html?_r=0

RIght, keep the puck on your stick and the other team cannot shoot it at your net. I grant your point, but it's two ways at looking at the same problem. If the Sabres played better team D, they'd spend less time chasing the puck in their own zone. You're correct there. But can you not see, based on Randall's great work, that when the Sabres do finally get the puck back, the first thing they do is make a low-percentage pass? Then, they spend time chasing the puck in the neutral zone and offensive zone. The anti-Byslma camp hates his system because it gives the puck away constantly, meaning the Sabres are going to be chasing in their own end shortly after. I like the idea upthread that Bylsma isn't necessarily a bad coach, but he is one that sticks to his system even if they don't have the right players to implement it; that makes him the wrong coach here. Frankly, I want to see these guys skate. The last f'ing thing I want to see is Jack Eichel, Sam Reinhart, and the rest of the skill players play low-event hockey. When you get the puck, keep it; firing it down the ice in hopes you might get it back just negated the work you did getting it. Screw that ######.

I can't imagine Franson back, especially if he posted that thing about Toronto last night. McCabe and Risto will be back. I'd like to see Bogo and Kulikov back if there is a new coach that doesn't expect them to be better passers than all but a handful of D in the league are. I think it's telling that, as someone above put it, they "suddenly don't know how to play D any more". That says, as others have, no one on the team understands how D zone coverage works and it's all second guessing.

I voted no. It's the Buffalo coming out where what I want to happen will not.

Somehow, I don't think the Sabres are going to be a point per game, or last year's total.

Betty White is older than sliced bread.

Bold strategy, consider he may be proven wrong in a couple weeks.

Tonight may not be the night to make that claim. Jersey: Eichel has to be considered. As Taro termed it, the three R's would be next. After that, how would the kid feel if the player isn't on the team three years from now? I'm not sure I'd guarantee many other players on the team this year will be. (Serious comment, if he sees some oddball jersey as cool a lesser known player might work; otherwise, I'm not sure you can stray too far from Eichel and the R's.) For me, Eichel or Risto, probably Risto just to be "different" from the Eichel cliche.

Is that skating really slow?

I don't think GMTM/HDDCRGDDB are as down on Gorges as the fans. Larsssssson is a steep price to get Vegas to take Ennis; I hope GMTM doesn't toss assets with what, picks coming back? Ennis isn't much of an asset, but I think Larsson has some value. More value than Erod, in my eyes.

The problem I have with all this is within Penn State circles people were so loose-lipped that everyone just *had* to know what was going on; Benson, the Pegulas, the janitor, etc., but yet none of these people were loose-lipped enough to blab to the wrong person or sell out their friends to save their own skins. Which is it? Like I said above, if there's real evidence out there, take it to the police or a reporter; they'll jump on it. If it's all "they must have known" and conspiracy theories, please stop hinting around on a sports message board.

My current schedule is working 8, 9-hour days and one 8-hour day over two weeks and having every other Friday off. It's kinda awesome, but the extra hour seems to really drag on each day. A previous job did 4-9s and a 4, and even then I didn't take advantage of it that often.

Based on the numbers, I'd bet on worse right now.

Doh. For some reason, I though the Sabres were in the high 50s each of the tank seasons.

When I was a kid, I asked my dad, "Do you know how to weld?" (there is a welder in our garage, after all). His response was, "well, I know how to make pieces of metal stick together.". It's something I'd like to learn, but realistically based on my practical carpentry and other skill levels I'm not sure I'd be that good at it.

I don't remember what I had, but I'd bet it was watered down American Market. Yum! :)

Bisongrass vodka is pretty good, FWIW.

Gamecenter usually gets blacked out though, which is annoying for me.
