Ghost of Dwight Drane

10 games in 20 days for Miller....That Ruff/Hitchcock finals was like the Carter/Ford election.....

All I know is Memphis had one of the greatest back door covers in sports gambling history. Viva la Instant Replay!

10 dolla....let it ride....Sabres 15 game win streak.

???? 5-01 May Day He's a dirty Commie Hipster......

Don't bet on teams where Scott Hamilton is the coach....

My body is allergic to BS.....

Nope. Poor Chz is bringing in the bacon now and the Sabres are but the collection on her lint screen in the dryer of life......

Edmonton -185 Buffalo +165 The Drane NCAA special......Cincy over Harvard. Harvard is some pretty-boy pick and the line is 3.....I think Cincy is a bet until the end. They can beat ANY team out there, and the oddsmakers are not giving their conference enough respect.

So did they rip this idea off GR or was it vice-versa?

Calgary -185 Buffalo +165

It's the mental thing on top.....he hyperfocuses, which is why he lets in a disproportionate amount of softies the last minute of periods. The "most accidents happen within a mile of the house" line of thinking. Good luck to him, but I will pass.

We aren't getting that 1st......Hyperfocus...overworked......hope he signs the next month....

Why not? I was thinking the same thing watching it. It's a perfect aggressive outlet. Great workout, you get the hockey culture, and you can take out your road rage with an actual collision. These guys took their hockey SERIOUSLY the other day. Someone touched the Russian goalie and three guys grabbed him, facewashed him and tipped him. I have nothing but respect for not only being out there, but how those guys respect the old school way. Maybe some rink can invest in a set of sleds. Charge everyone an extra $10 for ice time and donate something to the Wounded Warriors, USA program, etc. I'd get their blessing first, and you'd have a publicity-fest in starting it up.

I love when Yuri gets it going....I feel like the helicopter mom with kids she swears are deathly allergic to anything but soybeans, and she can finally take a long weekend to travel with just the hubby to a bed and breakfast in Vermont and make sweet, missionary love....possibly more than once....

Islander fans were saying the same thing about Charles Wang 10 years ago. It kinda worked out f.....oh....nevermind.......

I like how some always seem to give a pass and say "nobody knows". Have you not read the board? When Pegula first came in, some were laying out the carnage about to take place because Pegula was comfortable with Regier and Darcy has a history of rolling over. It happened. Here we are going on 4 years later. Does Pegula and the front office cronies not have a very public history with Penn State? Can you not take cues from the interlocking circle that ALWAYS gets the contracts, be it management, real estate, construction, donations, etc.? It is plain as day, and they have no shame. I'm not saying there need be in some of the cases, but when Lafontaine left, WRGZ had a quote from Pegula's inner circle saying, "nobody will care if we are winning.".....yep....that seemed to be the MO at Penn State too. Throw money at stuff, shred documents, play dumb, and just make sure the machine keeps rolling. How anyone can fail to look at the dozens of case studies in how things happen there and logically apply the same potential here, is either crazy or lazy. I'm not just talking about the Paterno/Sandusky stuff....just the woven web. It happens everywhere, but not like this. Almost cult like. "We don't know".......no, just laid out that when Battista was brought in, it was encouraging that Darcy would soon be gone. And when Lafontaine was hired, that if there really was meddling going on, Lafontaine would leave in a heartbeat. You have Lafontaine on video himself saying Battista was on interviews with him and going on trips with him. It's there....the concern, the actions, and the result, all laid out ahead of time and completed in short order. As a Sabre fan I want to bury my head and hope all is well just like anyone else. When concern after concern gets presented, and people scoff, then things DO take place and this franchise is where it is....why should I listen to anyone with a straight face who wants to give the benefit of the doubt?

NBC

These guys are taking runs at each other....amazed how physical they try to be.

NY -145 Buffalo +125

That's the thing... Tim Connolly, and Derek Roy...and Cody Hodgson..race for the puck and try to score a goal hundreds of times a season..... I don't know....how many fights have they been in, in their lives???........

I'd rather watch indoor soccer than hockey with little to no physicality. That is a non-stop, fast paced game, and the close quarters make it much more physical than regular soccer. I really enjoyed when Buffalo had a team.

Absolutely. A warrior appreciating a warrior. At the end of many classic boxing matches the competitors have a total hugfest.

From your Penn to God's ear....or eye??....I dunno....

He eats that stuff up. There are others alive for the playoffs....my bet would be that both Dallas in the playoffs AND Vancouver out will not happen. The Lindy Shriners are out in force because Dallas is right above the Mendoza Line after floating between 7th and 12th all season. Sounds familiar. I didn't see many people calling the Rangers a "team a coach would dream to have" the past few seasons. If anything people were calling them a farce, overrated, poor puck possession, etc. They did manage to grab a #1 seed and win 3 series the past 2 years. The Kesler drama is a concern that things aren't right, but I trust Torts to pull it off.
