  1. Common practice. That's it. Defenders have been told to play that side at every level of hockey, so by the time they get to upper levels, they are better at it. Start out a talented kid on the off side and by the time he gets to upper levels he'll be better at that. Since the puck usually goes back behind the net in those battles anyway, not sure it matters.
  2. Yeah. The only reason there is hesitancy is because it is common practice, not because there is any disadvantages.
  3. They paid half of that money just for his release alone. Just nasty. It's called progression. I'm sure you will grouse about that as well, when it happens. I have been a little underwhelmed by Cozens (That's sounds worse than I mean, because he's right where I expect him to be given that he's really young). Not sure that I've seen glimpses of excellency. More like Glimpses of a future decent NHLer.
  4. I would have rather spent $10 on the one I need rather than $5 on all these. https://a.co/d/bvAwPRR
  5. The crossover is before the amp. It’s more efficient because each driver (woofer, tweeter) has it’s own power amp and you are only amplifying the frequencies that you want to hear.
  6. Unfortunately, it’s not quite that simple. Not if you want them to sound good, anyway.
  7. A covid postponed Meshuggah at Hammerstein Ballroom on the 18th. Can’t wait. If my health screws this up for me I’m going to be pissed.
  8. Yep. It's sucks. Everything is disposable now. It's one of the reasons I hate active speakers. I can always throw a new or different amp on a set of passive speakers. And we're at the age now where the caps in all of these first generation active monitors are going to start drying up. Instead of just buying a $.89 part and fixing them, I have to chuck it right in the garbage patch and spend a ***** ton on some sterile chip amplified newer speaker.
  9. I mean stuff like capacitors, resistors, and diodes, not an HDMI to RCA convertor. I miss RadioShack.
  10. Had a quick question.
  11. Here’s another tech question. I know that some of you live outside of areas where either cable or fiber are options. Does anyone have any experience with tv antennas to get over the air, digital broadcasts? I would love a recommendation on what to buy or any advice on what to look out for. Thanks in advance.
  12. Pretty sure that we are AI. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/doppelgangers-dont-just-look-alike-they-also-share-dna-180980635/
  13. Absolutely.
  14. Especially when they use Venezuela as an example of the evils of socialism. It’s beyond stupid.
  15. They’re stupid, too.
  16. What’s the deal with nose rings?
  17. I just don’t get it. You’d think it was a magic eye poster, ffs. And it’s been over two decades.
  18. Has anyone even seen him play since his last game as a Sabre? I haven’t. I have no idea whatsoever what to expect from him. I hope he’s good and makes the team better.
  19. My buddy is a collector. The art of some the vinyl is part of it. Some are really cool. I think this is pretty cool. I wonder if they can get into trouble for distributing weed to states where it is still illegal.
  20. This is cool.
  21. They’re basically printing money.
  22. Or just from someone younger than us.
  23. I knew this Tavares first. I remember watching the team with him on it win a championship for Buffalo. I felt pride. I am definitely one of the almosts.
  24. Aren’t there 8 other teams to worry about, as well?
  25. That’s because the games that they played didn’t matter. Maybe. Probably depends on his linemates. There may not be more up for him, but his down might not come for a while. His game was never built on speed (no, he’s not slow), it’s based on hands and head and size. He’s not going to lose any of those to age so he could hang out here for a while. As to the thread, I think it’s interesting to ask if the Sabres have improved, but I think it’s a red herring to use the opening night rosters to answer the question. Especially because the direction this team has chosen is that they plan on having most of their improvement happen from within. Are they better? Absolutely. Heck, they were better by the end of the season. Are they better than the end of last season? On defense alone , I would say yes. The rest?,… cautiously optimistic.
