    You guys picked up on that, huh? I think the name I used was French, so maybe I'd cast Gerard Depardieu for the role. :)

    Complaint: I've refrained from posting for the last day or so trying to come up with something awesome for post #5000, but I'm not clever or motivated enough to write something I feel reflects the gravity of the situation. I thought about posting up the beginning of my action/comedy short story about an NHL player who is so bad the Front Office tries to have him killed, but that's still in pretty rough shape. So this is it: post 5000. :)

    The two dates I should be in town for are "meh", Sheepdogs and one of Led Out or En Vogue.

    Anyone have a reference for that? If I remember right, he said something that a few people though meant that, but the rest of us thought was pretty innocuous.

    There are some striking similarities.

    No, but like a goalie that plays two career games and only lets in one goal each, we don't proclaim him the greatest GT of all time. Also, it was a joke. Ha Ha.

    That's around #26 all-time career averages, but you have to note the sample size. I don't think it counts until a poster gets to 1000 posts. EDIT: Speaking of which, I need to find something big for my upcoming 5000th.

    True, but in De-twah you get on the bridge and end up south of where you started.

    BBQ!

    5: Dyngus Day parade and party at the Central Terminal.

    Too long. ;-) How about Babwang?

    #8: Skiing day trips. Not great skiing, but skiing nonetheless.

    Enroth participated in a test game:

    Agreed, this is mostly a number that applies to UFAs, and even then you have the BRichards Effect where there's only one guy in UFA that year. It gets dicey comparing UFAs to RFAs that sign with their team. For example, Crosby would have made more money had he left Pittsburgh when his contract came up.

    Agreed, working in terms cap% is the only way to look at this.

    It's worth noting that (as I understand it) the Japanese Auto industry is heavily unionized. It's a different culture though, the companies don't try to screw the employees (as much) and the unions understand that and don't get acrimonious.

    what, no option for "Yes... in 2019." :)

    Same here. I wonder if it's any good.

    I don't particularly care if the new coach looks like a runner-up as long as he's the right coach.

    Or hop over to Happy Jacks.

    It's been "tomorrow" for 10 minutes already, have Babcock and Holland talked yet?

    I'm sure it can be read in a lot of ways, but a valid one is "I don't want to say anything bad about this job until I'm 100% certain I'm done." Having just caught up on this thread, this a great summary of the important parts other than the Popcorn Issue as the final shoe drop Babcock is waiting for.

    Wasn't there a horse in recent memory that had a ton of owners? I remember it being during the Red and Black years and that the Sabres were relevant when the Derby was on. And at my friends' house after they were married, so that pretty much nails it down to 2006, right? The owners showed up to the race in a school bus.

    For some reason, I thought the previous CBA (2005) didn't allow it, but I have no idea on the current one. But yes, an agreement before the trade changes the equation.
