    In that case, I'd take the "long" way (Warsaw/Rt 19/Rt 39). Anyone in Arcade know what it looks like there? That's great to hear!

    Allow two weeks for delivery. That might be optimistic. :)

    All in all, a pretty sensible stance. If only the NFL had a brain.

    Indeed, I remember a similar situation on NYE 1998. Once I got off the main roads things were a lot easier. In your case, I'd back-track up to 20, out to Attica, over to Warsaw, and then down 19 to 39 and take 39 all the way into Springville. I'm not sure if Rt 98 out of Attica would be clear or not (being said from SE PA, so I have no knowledge of what's going on there. The weather in Warsaw says snow, but they're only talking about one inch in the forecast.

    Go East, young man.

    LGR: It's never going to happen right?

    The batteries do go dead in the sensors. If you're sure the pressure is right, you might mention it next time you put tires on so they can change the battery. Or just keep an eye on it the old fashioned way and tape over the light. My winter tires don't have sensors, so the light stays on for 4-5 months per year. I thought it would bother me more than it does, but I learned to ignore it pretty quickly. Complaint: wife and kid are in Buffalo (safely ensconced at her parents house in South Wales). My complaint is I don't know if I'll be able to get up there tomorrow night or Saturday morning like planned. I know the first 300 miles will be easy, it's just the last 20 that might suck. Like all the natives here, I'm a reasonably accomplished snow-driver but there's nothing I can do in 3 ft of the crap.

    Bad news guys, the Bar Bill was open until today, but they've run out of everything so they have to stay closed. "We have been beaten...out of everything and no shipments til tomorrow. we are closed today. Thanks to our amazing staff for carrying us through to the end."

    I'd guess that with the lake being relatively narrow at the Buffalo end, you get a situation like this where the wind runs all the way up the lake from Toledo and points right at that area. The other areas don't get the full-length run up when Snowzilla turns on them.

    Livid? Sure. Surprised? .... That being said, when my wife and I got married I appointed her CDO (Chief Decorating Officer) so she makes the decisions. It was just easier that way and after we both got used to it, results in a lot less arguing. That being said, she wouldn't trash my stuff without discussion, it'd just end up in the basement and it could be reintegrated if I had an issue with something.

    Really? Maybe you should read further down where it talks about him being frugal and the Ferrari being the one extravagance he bought for himself when he landed the contract. And a BMW is chump-change for him. Based on the quoted salary in the piece, he could probably pay it off with one month's salary. To put that in perspective, if you're making $60k/year that's like buying a $5000 car. Big chz, there. I can tell you this: if I suddenly had $30m coming in, despite being mildly frugal, there'd be something stupid I'd buy too. It wouldn't be a Ferrari, but something.

    Let's not try to read too much into this. For all we know they'll send Lieuwen down next week and bring Makarov up for a week and rotate them (provided that's allowed in the waiver process, etc.).

    Exactly. the Kings/Blackhawks/Bruins will have to cut/trade someone to make room for the new #1 draft pick, and the other teams can compete to sign that player! In all seriousness, people are worried about the integrity of the game. Having teams that are perpetually at the bottom of the league picking #27-30 each year will really foster integrity and good competition. It'll be more like College Football where all the games, especially the early season ones, are interesting.

    I need this in graph form to make sense.

    It was Atlanta. Those Thrashatics travelled in droves to see the team in Raleigh. :)

    Mika Noronen's last game as a Sabre?
  17. MattPie
    I'll second this. I went to a game just before OV or early in his tenure (it was a game or two after the Caps traded Mike Grier to Buffalo, 2004). In the upper seats, there were far more Buffalo chants than Capitals, and probably half of the few fans that were up there were cheering for Buffalo. Fast forward a couple years and the place is filled with red jerseys (I don't remember seeing may of the blue-yellow-black screaming chicken ones) and packed.

    Derek Roy's first fighting major as a Sabre! :-p
  19. MattPie
    As much as I want to believe it, I think STH seats are counted if no one shows up. :(
  20. MattPie
    No idea who, but I'd bet it was a "core" Sabre's first game/goal (Roy, Vanek, Stafford, etc.)
  21. MattPie
    Too soon to recycle Vinz's number.
  22. MattPie
    Snowmobile? That's all I can think of. Maybe even call the local police and see if they have any ideas.
  23. MattPie
    Better factor Paetsch and Briere in to the formula too. What have those guys done since leaving (besides 1 cup win, a couple SCF appearances, and some conference final appearances).

    Streaming Radio update (via TuneIn app): WGR stream played the Bills pregame and switched over to "Due to NFL Restrictions, this broadcast cannot be streamed to mobile device on the internet" on repeat. The WBEN stream played the Sabres pregame and started playing the game for awhile. At some point in the first, the WBEN stream also flipped to the NFL message mid-play and stayed that way every time I checked. I guess someone hit the wrong button. Amateurs. I tweeted to WGR, but as I was driving I didn't bother to follow up.

    Yep. Mouse potatoes was long before that. The "we've got guys" was within the last couple years. Maybe last January when Staff took on Hartnell fro hitting Ennis? http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130121/SPORTS/130129875
