I can also see that being different; guy was traded away, as opposed to whatever you want to call Eichel's situation, hold-out/malcontent/forcing-a-trade. I can see it both ways, but personally bygones apply here and be pleasant to the former team Captain. Short highlights, "thanks for the memories, Jack, Let's Go Buffalo, beat Vegas" should do it. Some fans will hold a grudge, but there's no helping that.

Dozens? Are they giving away tickets now?

I don't know if Eichel completely warrants a mention, but he was the face of the franchise for like six years and the Captain for a few. It's not unreasonable to show some class now that it's all over.

Yeah, to be honest with the current state of tech a pickup is a not a good case for electric in a lot of ways. Of course, most people use them like a normal car other than a few times a year so the F150 WILL BE FINE.

I think it'd help, but maybe only if you stayed put for a few days. I don' think a couple m^2 of solar panels are going to charge it too fast. A quick Google tells me sunlight at best is 1360W per m^2 for 4 hours per day, and solar panels are 20% efficient. With those numbers, a well-trained human on a bike can beat those numbers (in theory I can average 220W for an hour, and I'm *not* well trained). So really, the answer is include a stationary bike-generator with the truck. In reality, if you have that use case and you only own one car this may not be the vehicle for you. Our plan here is to have an electric car as our daily car and our very low-use second car will be gas. My car hasn't left our property since December.

We could talk about those numbers all the time and people would learn the context, but culturally hockey is all about those per-season numbers. For instance, we know what a good GAA (even if it's a flawed stat), SV%, or (team) P% look like. Using GF/60 or points per game or whatever could be fine if collectively the hockey world started treating them like batting average or ERA in baseball. (I'm surely showing my baseball ignorance in those examples) Question is, did he break out the giant grin and point at teammates in celebration?

Whoops, misread this as a 'Millennials don't watch things on TV thing" Not from the Verizon app. I suppose I could screen-share it, although I think I tried that at some point and it's blocked somehow; I'm guessing the byzantine rights structure the NFL uses probably doesn't allow the Verizon deal to be shown on a screen that's not connected directly to their cell network or something. Similar to how the streaming audio (at least last time I tried a few years ago) can only be played on "home" systems like a computer or Roku, but is blacked out on a phone even if you're on the same home network.

I'm sure there was some way to stream it to with the Twitgram or Door Hinge or the Amazon Meta program or something. (Fun fact, this firmly GenX person can only watch games on my phone via NFL app and their deal with Verizon; no cable and no reliable antenna due to distance to stations)

I think you have to at least put in something for the guys that Eichel plays with, or even others on the team. As someone implied above, the someone in Vegas just got gifted the 2nd best D pair and 2nd best defensive forwards on whatever team was opposing them where they've been facing #1s before this. If you really have to do it for this season, see what happens with Vegas' collective PPG, Goals, or Wins before and after. You even get some time to analyze pre- and post- Tuch without Eichel playing until now.

A Roku stick is like $35, I have one in my Vizio Smart Cast for times when the ChomeCast doesn't like something (or RosePie can use the remote). I have one on the monitor on my desk too, for doing the odd stream or AirPlay screen mirror (mostly for working out, my bike trainer is in here too). Depending on what you're doing with a cracked stick, you might in a legal grey area (or even not so grey). No judgement, everyone can make their own decisions. I don't know if anyone is really cracking down (pun intended) on it, but they could I suppose.

Ah, good for the dev; that's a get-rich dream when you write some little game.

I'm in the control group for no reason other than it has to be making money somewhere, so likely selling your info. 🙂

User-provisioned Infrastructure. It's when the user creates the cloud systems required to run a cluster. The alternative is Installer-Provisioned Infrastrcuture (IPI), where the installer software creates the required stuff in the cloud for you. IPI is easier, but UPI can be customized more. In this case, I'm betting it's supposed to be UPL, which is Unknown-quantity Player Luukkonen.

Tage Thompson goes one on one with a Florida defender?

Same really. I'm sure it's party BecauseBuffalo, there's no way we're allowed to have something that nice and not break it.

I kinda feel the same way. Unless LGR was parading around saying he never doubted Allen or the Bills, there are plenty of people in this thread that have since admitted they were wrong after seeing the result. I expect you'll continue doing these for all those people. You can start with me, I didn't like the Allen pick and I'm sure there are some posts here that show that.

The breakfast sausage patties are pretty good too. Not quite as good as pork, but meat isn't really the star of any sausage.

This. The Sabres of the last several years have made it easy to just not watch hockey.

Real question is whether Houser's hockey name is "Doogie" or "Doogsie". I think that'll go a long way in determining his future with the team.

Oops, though this might be serious so I did the math; to get to 96 points and have a really good shot at the playoffs, 1.53 points per game so 7-8 wins per 10 games. I'd say if the Sabres picked up 49 points (~0.6 ppg) and hit a nice even 82 points this season, that'd be great news. They'd be on a playoff pace and hopefully have similar results next year. That's unlikely given roster turnover at the deadline and other teams getting desperate I suppose.

Looking like Bar Bill there.

It's airborne now, so capable to reaching that height.

I worked with a guy that refused to go out to lunch at one place because they had Hunt's and not Heinz. I eat very little ketchup these days, so I'm not sure I could tell the difference. We might have some Wegman's Organic in the fridge from the summer; MsPie likes it on the Beyond burgers, I much prefer BBQ sauce in just about every situation ketchup applies.
