  1. You'd be talking at least two high-level prospects. Girgs, Reinhart, Risto, etc. I'm not sure it's worth it because a lot would be going out. Sounds strange, but I wonder if Grigs could be that mentor.
  2. I was just going to comment that you hadn't been seen in these here parts for awhile.
  3. Shouldn't that be CLENCHED for all but 1st?
  4. "One of Many Eichel Fans"? Hopefully you'll never be "Last Eichel Fan".
  5. One (hundred) too many, "What bar you at?" from LGR?
  6. Frostin' for Austin: should we tank next year for Austin Matthews?
  7. I think he lost it with that scoring stretch a couple weeks ago. :)
  8. Come on man, you know the whole country, nay the whole world, revolves around East Coast time right?
  9. I thought we were quoting stupid things Giulianni has said, my mistake. :) Since we're talking about planning, what's your plan if the Sabres don't "Finish the Job"? I've already laid mine out: I keep watching and hoping the Sabres win it all some day.
  10. I blame millennials. :)
  11. :w00t:
  12. "I think [George W.] Bush did a great job in that debate." - Rudy Giullani : equally stupid. We're fans, we only get hope since there's essentially nothing we can do to affect strategy.
  13. No, we wear our big-boy or big-girl pants and accept what it is in move on with hope based on what we have.
  14. Will the Sabres sign Enroth in Free Agency?
  15. I'm just gonna keep posting this until it's over.
  16. Sick baby.
  17. I still have a good feeling about this one. My daughter apparently sharted all over the place this afternoon, I'm calling it an omen.
  18. Zenon, is that you? http://twitter.com/ZenonKonopka/status/292872733556092928/photo/1
  19. Every technological innovation from the printing press on brought the idea that "the kids will be able to learn!". To a degree they're right, but they all bring more distractions which snare far more people than the educational benefit. But it's like any other time (well, since the radio era at least); if you're motivated there's a wealth of learning available if you want to seek it out. Few people do, opting instead to become obsessed with TV, fads, and (ahem) sporting teams. So what you're saying is if big government mandated that all teachers have an advanced degree in teaching as well as some other discipline, the overall education quality in the country would improve? Surely not!
  20. I guess my worry is that school boards are rarely (ever?) comprised of education professionals but of people elected from the community (whom aren't always elected because they're sensible champions of education). But on a bigger scale, if the schools at the local or state level are capable of self-regulating, why aren't they? How come schools in New York are better than Oregon, etc.
  21. I'd be awesome if the Thursday thread was open.
  22. I remember reading somewhere that players said having the net away from the end boards meant it took longer for passes or to skate the puck to the front, giving the defending team more time to react.
  23. Truth. :) OK, how about the season trend is the Sabres lose roughly 3 of 4 games, losing 2 of the last 4 means they're over their average and at this point I expect them to regress back to the mean rather than suddenly get better. But over a short span they certainly could perform above average. That's what I mean when I say, "I don't think they'll win-out". :p
  24. More likely as in "more likely that getting both?" Sure. It's most likely than the Sabres end up 30th since I don't think they'll win-out.
  25. Well aren't you just the fancy-pants cook! I strive to make dinner nice, but my best attempt is something that was as good as dogshit.
