Ghost of Dwight Drane

Yeah...which was $30 or something that ballpark. Sounds good.

Uh oh....someone listen to GR today and get panties in a knot over Tyler Myers?........ Rob says, 4 free hot dogs on him. He's sure you can handle them at the same time.

How about Crazy Horse at 100 DB with a couple 20oz. Miles Davis ###### Brew????

Icehouse is decent too....gassy though. I much prefer Ice beer to regular issue.

Yes.....Bud Ice was actually a decent, cheap option. It actually had a little taste and you could feel a buzz before 6 of them.

No...more goals...straight up. So I guess I'm spotting him a couple. That's ok.

You want to revisit the original bet that got cancelled last year? Who has more goals this season...Hodgson or Kassian?

Are you running around with gaping mouth, attempting to catch all the white stuff on your tongue? "Every time a flake falls, an angel saves a tissue....."

70/30 Isn't Hodgson's upside pretty much Roy?

This is what I mean.....bash a guy instead of watching him progress. The kid is a bigger, more talented, scarier version of Steve Ott right now, who just needs the experience to learn when to push the envelope and when to ignore stuff. His teammates love him. With Tortorella, he just has to keep transitioning that strength and energy from playful pit bull puppy, to junk yard dog. The past month he has started taking form. He has gotten some 2nd line and powerplay time. Even if you compare him to Hodgson....Hodgson has 1 more goal, and 1 more regular strength point. This, playing on the 1st line and #1PP most of the year versus a 3rd line and 5 minutes less a game. Given all the change in the front office, and with Ted Nolan aboard, the direction of the Sabres makes this trade much more of a moot point....but I still don't get how 1) People need to bash the guy from day one, and 2) Can't admit that the skillset and brute force the guy has was a rarity that was shipped out for a guy with similar charter and talent to the rest of the current Sabres. The whole "Concept" issue that gets tossed about like he was some sort of failure....Kassian was 14 months older than Grigorenko is right now when he was traded. I'd like to compare opinions on the projected outlook and internal value of both by the same posters.

I think I need to lay down my putter to get the proper line on that green.....

Remember....Hodgson was brought in at a time where Lucic had exposed the Sabres to the world as a laughingstock and pretty much a cowardly core. You were trading away the one guy with the skillset that could change that for more of the same. The fanbase had been fed tilapia and boiled chicken the past 4 years...we had some steak in the freezer...and traded it away for stir fry vegetables. Sure, the vegetables taste fine.....but we're going anemic here. I have some fun with the Kassian/Hodgson thing because it seems that a lot of fans feel the need to bash a guy that leaves and prop the new guy on a pedestal. Hodgson seems to be loosening up a little this year, at least in my opinion in his public displays. Nobody denies his vision and hands....just hope he keeps maturing when it comes to battles and going back as hard as forward.

Not sure...fair line. I want to root for Denver though.

Yeah...I went down with SF fair and square. They had Seattle on the ropes in the 1st half and let them off the hook.

I think 94% of America will be rooting for the Broncos. Yeah...Gore doesn't carry around the Mike Schopp MENSA card....but when I went with SF, that fumble on the 1 was what I had in mind. Even on that long run, he was lallygagging it and almost got it popped out from behind. I really liked SF. Let's get Peyton his 2nd and let him retire in glory....

I'd be willing to wager Marcus Foligno's jersey number > Lynch's IQ. All you can do now is watch the magic.....

I'm all over New England and San Fran. I think these will be 2 good games, but Belichick vs. Fox.....Harbaugh vs. Carrol.....no contest. The QB's are pretty even in both, but Lynch and Moreno are lunkheads and I would not trust them in crunch time. I can see Gore having a good day, making a few key 1st downs, and Vereen is the key for NE in my opinion. Bunkered down and lubricating....

Amen. Tallinder was a monster playing in the Worlds last season. He brings 70% effort relative during the regular season. Don Cherry has some merit in his North America love.

Hodgson doesn't shave his head pubes until Monday.

Moulson just sort of feels right on this team. He's the perfect example of a guy that is talented and not a banger, but just knows where to go and gets musty enough to be in position in front to bury goals some other guys won't work as hard for. Ideally he is 2nd line on a good team, but I too feel a better energy aura radiating off him than from Vanek. I'm experiencing a bit of "Miller Fatigue" myself. Yes, he's having a good year, and at his best is a #3-8 top goalie....but the other night I turned the sound down because Dunleavy was using up more Vaseline than Kellen Winslow....

Columbus -120 Buffalo +100

The whole thing has been a cluster from day 1. If he turns out to be anything decent at this point, I'd be surprised.

Um....yeah....nothing but smooth sailing upside with this fella........

Yeah...but who scored a powerplay goal for them???......Boom Goes the Dynamite!!!

Going from Feaster to Regier is like going from banging Mama Cass to Nancy Pelosi......
