This is like a bunch of guys arguing the merits of Ferraris over beer, afterwards they get into their Ford Festivas and drive home. Alone.

Ahem, those aren't even the best Kind bars. http://www.kindsnacks.com/store/types/strong-kind/honey-smoked-bbq-24-bars.html

Haven't there been several baseball and football teams in NYC that have left? I suppose that's different as they always have another.

Carolina was last overall in 2002-3 and bad the next year too. Interestingly, they went from the SCF in 2001-2 to 61 points (last by 8 points) in 2002-3.

It's on Amazon video and Netflix (at least one of those) if other folks haven't seen it yet. Worth the watch.

I was skeptical, but a friend of mine fired up the grill to make wings. They actually turned out pretty good, not quite as crispy as deep fry but better than any other method I've had. After that, it's just sauce and that you can buy or make.

As mentioned up-thread, if the Sabres were to claim him he'd be a cap-hit until 2021, even if he's in the AHL. Rigth now the Sabres have a bunch of room, but if things turn out well we might need that $5M to pay actual players.

I thought the cap hit stay with the trading team in proportion. So if the Sabres trade him away and retain $2M of his salary, they have a $2M cap hit until 2021.

Being discussed in, Around the NHL (I think).

I think it screws LA since they benefited from paying more than the cap hit. The Flyers (as someone above mentioned) are pretty even, so they're fine. The Sabres would be paying above cap hit for a couple years, so we'd get hit until the started paying out the cheap years and salary is back down below the average. He'll be 36 when the contract ends, so there might be recapture. If LA does move him now, they''ll get hit no matter what if he retires before the contract is complete. It's very much like the Ehrhoff situation for LA.

With drawl? Oh god, oh god, turn it off! You've accidentally tuned into a Dallas Stars game! I can see how you be confused with the coach and all.

Miss, you certainly have charms and the person they're directed at is certainly lucky, but I'm quite taken. :)

Can we get green clovers and purple horseshoes too?

I could see EDM trading #2 to ARZ for something + #3 so they could pick up Hannafin and a vet or something.

Yep, I had to force a reload to see the red stars.

Are you sure about the cap hit? I thought players in the AHL count against the NHL cap if they have an NHL contract. (that was one of the changes in the last CBA). The players didn't want to get buried in the AHL if they had a terrible contract so there's no incentive for teams to do it now.

I'm not sure about the red, it's a bit jarring as it's the only red thing on the page and doesn't fit that well. But not enough to worry about. I'll have to check out the font; I have my browser to force my own font on every site.

Is there another team that does the "Road Crew" concept? Granted, that's not "in" Buffalo.

yep, thanks!

Football ruling sky-council (they're not cool enough to have football gods like hockey), please let the Patriots fumble 5 times on Sunday and lose 47-3.

That sounds way involved... But nearly as involved when you actually do it. Thanks! Actually, I see when I reply that the BBcode mode icon (the little grey light switch) is active in quick reply as well, so it's just a matter of hitting it on each post when you need it. Actually, now that I'm looking at it it might be that the setting is "sticky" and since I activated it once it stays on since it's already on for this post too (this is a second reply that'll likely get rolled into the previous one).

WOuld it have been so hard for them to say, Erie Owns (or P0wns) Owen Sound?

I'm going to miss not being able to cut a quoted post up to reply to separate blocks, but that's not that big of a deal. (Further explanation: If someone writes two paragraphs on different subjects (or whatever) it was nice to be able to put in an extra /quote and quote tag so you could reply directly under the first paragraph. See the tags in the quoted test above)

Chris Stewart? :ph34r:
