It's nuts in Ithaca too. Anything you see asking, expect ~100k over for the winning offer. We were looking at land and even that had multiple offers within a day of going on the market.

I dated a Technical Editor for a number of years. Besides being a nice person, she really shaped up my ability to write.

I looked at MLA quickly, but didn't find the proper noun rules before I lost interest.

10-15k fewer people driving out to OP and generating revenue. Which I'm not even sure that happens with The Bills as much as other places. Baltimore, Philadelphia, etc. play in the city, so people have an opportunity to do something else before or after the game. There's *nothing* around the Ralph last I checked, and I'm not sure this is going to change that.

So what you're saying is if the stadium was privately funded, the revenue from the Bills and related stadium events wouldn't have to go towards paying back interest and loans and could be used to other priorities? It's not like the revenue would go away if the public didn't fund the stadium and it got built using loans or whatever other other means the private entities have.

I think it's two Peggys that do own it, and they're still wrong. Should be Peggys' Cove. Not sure if you switch to ies for proper nouns. This link at least says no: https://grammarist.com/plurals/plurals-of-nouns-ending-in-y/ as does this TV show that popped into my head. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kennedys_(miniseries).

Well put. There is a benefit to having the team here. I definitely don't think it's worth putting $850M into a stadium across the street from the existing field. At the end of all this, it'll just be status quo. I could almost see it if they put it downtown as a revitalization project to bring more people there.

I don't think Levi playing a few games in the NHL this year would put him in front of anyone, really. I can't put facts on this, but it seems like late in the year (especially in a lost year like this), it's common to bring up a young goalie for a game or three to give them a taste of the NHL and what they'll have to do to make it. I think the Sabres see the other side of it; there's a whole generation of goalies that had their first game/win/shutout against the Sabres this last decade.

I remember the west being this way years ago, but the east was always bunched up.

Seems like the secondary market would have better prices on tickets, no?

Seems like #fancystats will have something that takes in quality of competition (over the competition's Last 10 adjusted for competition, not season), and record already. For example, as awesome as the Toronto, VGK, and Vancouver wins are, those teams seem to be slumping and should be rated lower than a win over a team that's actually playing well.

Late to this one but... I'm guessing MSG/PSE doesn't want to license them. I assume they're not the same rights as the game itself (which the NHL probably owns or something).

As long as Trump doesn't get reelected, it'll be smooth sailing, I'm sure of it.

I honestly couldn't remember the name, and didn't bother to look him up. What year is it?

This seems to have flown under the radar, but is hilarious.

A modern day Hasek vs. [that guy on NJ that I can't believe I can't remember his name] story.

Fair. Is it better to do that over the summer, or do it now and have (presumably) a few weeks of terrible hockey after having a few games where things seem to be clicking.

SDS tried to start a thread on this the other day, and I agree with the premise. If you actually trade away 6 starting players is that good long-term for the team, relative to the assets coming back? Having this team lose 1/4 of the players just as they're coming together might be worse than a handful of 3-5 rd picks. I think if you get a good deal for any of those players that brings back a player that has a shot for next year, then maybe. I'm not sure you trade away Pysyk for a 5th, for example.

This. If Anderson wants a shot at a cup, find a way to make that happen. Almost don't care what the return is, you set the guy up. Maybe have him back next year if he's up for it.

I do think it's sad too in a way, but I don't blame the guy. Must be tough to walk away from your life's work with zero chance to go back after this year.

I'll accept this as # 10,000, lol.

If I had to guess, imagine this scenario: player is skating in on a break-away or 2-on-1, etc. GT pushes the net off but the shot wasn't actually taken yet. Player shoots before any whistle or whatnot, and the puck goes in. By the old rule, there is no goal is disallowed, the NHL wants to make it even harder for a defender to knock the net off to avoid a goal. Second scenario is an Empty Net and defender pushes the net off before the player skating in shoots. I believe the ref can already award a goal if a defending player draws a penalty on an EN breakaway without a shot, so moving the net before a shot is just another application of that.

You're dumb, he's dumb, this whole court is dumb.

Holy cow, my next post will be 10,000. Wonder what it should be.

StarDivider for Matthews is 4, so 0 or 1 game.
