Unless he's putting up a lot of points in a flashy manner, someone else will win it. The NHL can't help itself but to weigh points/goals high, even for D.

Krebs is really shaping up to be the player that everyone is mad about, even though he's a completely reasonable NHL player. Like, 57th best center playing on the third line.

Freaking Doogie Houser over here. 🙂 The real lesson here is: don't f' people that are really drunk, don't be a scumbag.

LOL, the post article: Other than throwing a party with racist themes and running a wildly racist Twitter account, you mean?

Things just keep stacking up today: when you get to the last pistachio and it's empty.

Today is the first day since I was 18 that I don't own (or don't have within the family) a car that's a standard. So long, 2011 WRX. 😞

Whenever I think about the color change, I remember that the Canucks have had three color schemes and three crests, so it's a 1970 curse or something. http://m.nhluniforms.com/Canucks/Canucks.html

That's not a bad as the T-shirt, I like it better than the Adelphia 90s colors.

No, but I dig it. Have three of them like the Swedish national team jersey.

The B&G Goat head looks like someone took an overexposed picture of the real one, and then played with the color sliders in their photo editor.

You know what else no one cares about? The Buffalo Sabres, yet here we all are.

Yeah, pretty tired of the Electoral College here. An entire institution devoted to isolating the voting public from the selection of President.

Between the Supreme Court's stance on states determining voting and craven Republican politicians, I'm not sure it wasn't a temporary victory. They're really bringing back Jim Crow and making sure only the right[0] people vote. [0] we all know what "right" is in this case, it rhymes.

*Modern* history? I think he's pushing for worst in history. Probably worse than several English Kings before 1776, for that matter.

Skinner is 30, and on his post-UFA contract, I don't think he's on the list with Thompson. TNT needs to follow up last year with at least 2/3s of the production before I believe he's for real. I can't imagine Olofsson being a scratch more than a game or two as a wake-up call, I agree with you.

I agree, it'd be nice to be able to sign all players to one-year deals. 😉 I say 2-3 because I think that's something he *might* go for. That takes him to 36-37 years old, which after that you offer 1 or maybe 2 years deals if it's still working.

I think he should be captain, and unless he falls off a cliff, extended in the season for a low-ish value, 2-3 year contract if he'll take it. Being in the top 32 RW in points and goals, though, he might be looking at one last payday and/or cup run (which is pretty unlikely for Buffalo in the next two years).

I happened to look at the scoring number for those mid-70s teams today (long story). Nuts that the entire FC line was in the top-10/15 in goals and points those years, along with Gare too. That must have been something, lol. I remember how fun those late 90s teams were where there'd be one guy over 30 goals, but like 6 more over 20. I might actually start watching again if it felt like any line on the team could score.

Honestly, they guy has been kinda invisible with the injuries. He's probably the last center I'd think of too. I don't think that's a slight on him, just that he hasn't been able to make an impact yet. Thompson has, Krebs is Eichel-fruit, and Cozens plays tough.

Lawn signs supporting Carl Paladino that say, "Carl Country". Some more discussion on the Reddit:

Awful lot of Carl signs around WNY when I was up there this week, I'm not sure it's trying to stay hidden.
