IS that the real graphics during a TV-broadcasted game? I'd rather watch the players celebrate.

All my gas-powered stuff (motorcycles and lawnmower) started up last night after letting them sit for a few months, score! I've had to go get fresh gas and drain tanks in the past. And, as follows, first ride on the bike today since January.

Yeah, me too. I'm headed in the wrong direction to meet up (Philly). It'd be a nice night for a ride out to the country.

Vienna Sausage with Garnish, at least back in 2006.

See, that's the problem. There aren't many teams in the east that would be "OK" to lose to. So, however distasteful I won't be rooting for any wins as an abstract concept. But, when I get a chance to watch a game I'll be hoping for the win, but I won't get into a funk when they don't.

We're in a 3-way tie with Carolina and Tampa (but with less wins) right now, we simply can't afford to win this game and hope that those two teams win their game each in-hand.

Plus, Tasty Cakes are awful.

Based on the media thread, maybe the BN and WGR folks have pissed off the Sabres enough that no one feeds them info.

I'd have to say Garth Brooks falls into that first category. Sounds too much like soft rock music. Give me any of the 3 Hank Williams' or Johnny Cash any day.

Dude, this is the community voice *IN ACTION*!!!! It'll be just like that petition nearly 32,000 of us signed saying we hated the Slug logo in 2006. http://www.petitiononline.com/sbrslogo/petition.html

Darcy's brother was in here a few minutes to get his skates sharpened, and *he* said....

Curse you, now I have to fire up WGR on my phone to listen.

Which second?

Hang on, let me check Twitter.

This. And, a locker room on a team that looks to be a seller. You'd have to be blind if you are a Sabre and not thinking about where you might be at the end of the week.

Second part of video. Roysie is already having an effect in the room.

I'm sure someone will go into an in-depth analysis about how it reflects their character, but I'm guessing they bought a box or two of coffee which comes with a bunch of small cups.

I see sports writers as possibly on par with people on this board, just getting paid to do it. And some with delusions of grandeur that they can affect change on things. I listened to WGR for a bit this morning, but all I heard was someone ranting about how the whole "Fans fault tweet". At least they eventually conceded there is logic to the statement eventually, even if you don't believe it. Plus, I think they mentioned MacIntyre as a goalie prospect, but he's, isn't he? http://www.marlies.ca/news/news.asp?story_id=2628

I'm curious: how does Adam not get ranked, but Foligno does? Is there some think that if you play in the NHL and then get sent back down you're no longer ranked?

I think the payroll money would be fine with TP, but the retained salary still counts towards the cap. I doubt you're going to see a team that is spending at the cap trade and then have a $1-2m hole for the next two (three?) years.

More food for thought, although I like LPF's food more now that I've read it. A 2013 pick from the Kings right now is a known commodity, that pick will be somewhere around #50 unless something crazy happens in the next couple weeks. Which, going by the statistics is pretty much a crap shoot. Maybe Darcy is hoping the Kings are set to fall down the standings some in the coming years.

I saw no stick-taps to the head, those guys just need to suck it up.

Maybe it wasn't allowed (or as easy) in the old CBA?

You know, everyone says this, but player (and person) is different. Maybe he'd be relieved, maybe he sees better leaders around the room already. I don't think anyone here really knows the guy, so who's to say?

The Sabres will score 4 and lose. I hope.
