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?
-
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
-
As much as I want to believe it, I think STH seats are counted if no one shows up. :(
-
No idea who, but I'd bet it was a "core" Sabre's first game/goal (Roy, Vanek, Stafford, etc.)

Too soon to recycle Vinz's number.
-
Do they cancel the Sabres/Sharks tomorrow? Nope.

Snowmobile? That's all I can think of. Maybe even call the local police and see if they have any ideas. -
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).

GDT Buffalo at Minnesota, 8PM EST MSG B Radio 930
MattPie replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
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

I remember that comment too. I think it was after he did defend someone. Someone asked if it was going to happen more often, to which he replied with the "we've got guys" comment. I bet if you excavate the Stafford thread there'll be more detail; I remember a few posters going nuts over the comment.

Impeachment, from the looks of it here.

GDT Buffalo at Minnesota, 8PM EST MSG B Radio 930
MattPie replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Seems like this happened last year at some point. The Bills played at 1, the Sabres at 3. I was pleasantly surprised the WGR/Tunein stream had the Sabres on even though the Bills would have been on the real radio. For those that haven't tried it, the WGR stream is blacked out/alternate programming when the Bills are on. EDIT: December 29th, 2013 Bills/Pats at 4:25pm, Sabres/Caps at 5pm. -
The other day I put on 1975 Flyers/Sabres Game 6 (it's in the classic section on Gamecenter). One thing that stood out for me was the passing wasn't that great, lots of pucks off sticks and just plain bad passes.

That's good, there's no way I'm getting to Buffalo at 1AM and telling my wife, "have fun with the baby, I'm going out". :) -

I'll miss both of them, but I'll meet up at Eleven's choice of sports bar when I get into town (warning: it'll be 1AM). I'd prefer to listen to the Bills on the way up, but the NFL are ###### about mobile streaming radio so I'm stuck hunting through central PA radio to find the game. I might just say screw it and listen to the Sabres on my phone. -
They only want you when you're seventeen, when you're twenty-one, you're no fun.

Did it hurt when he fell from the stars?
