Eleven

My friends and I just were jerks as kids, I guess.

Oh, Eberle. We have seen this before. I hope you don't survive it because I want to see a Game 7 in this one. EDIT and now Sanheim had to go and screw it up.

I edited my post.

Draft will be Tuesday at 7. Eastern. Sorry if you're on the Left Coast. It's just what I need to do in order to be ready for Wednesday, which traditionally follows Tuesday. I envision a 90 second clock unless people convince me otherwise. If you are not able to draft in person, PLEASE, I beg you, PLEASE set your draft thingy to auto so we don't have to wait out 90 seconds. @TrueBlueGED In or out? By tomorrow at 5. Otherwise, @Claude Balls is in. @SDS if you wouldn't mind a call tomorrow to make sure I don't screw this up, I'd appreciate it.

Oh own it. If I had kept my collection of signs from 35 years ago, I could start a new city. Complete with different turn indications that would lead to total confusion.

This secretly is good for you. You're an ER doctor. You've seen your share of Taco Bell "accidents." Why are you doing this to him?

Good thing.

Reading that in Marty's voice makes it so much fun.

He called Kim something that rhymes with what Doug Marrone likes to do on 4th and 3 from the opponent's 35. Thing is, I don't remember who told me this now. I can narrow it down to a handful of people that would have information like this, but I don't remember who.

Thankfully. That was an anxious three hours.

In just about every way, and I feel that this is underappreciated here. He might still be GM, and the Sabres might not be in such dire straits, had Murray been able to control his mouth. His most-criticized trade was a late first-round pick for Lehner, and that's not looking so bad right now.

You're counting Gerbe, aren't you... j/k

How is everyone else with Tuesday at 7pm ET?

I know you're being sardonic. The NBC announcers were pretty heavy on the praise for him tonight. Also, he's got some nice flow going. Still, it was a good trade. It's what the Sabres did with the asset afterward that is frustrating.

All of the sudden, I feel so ... alive?

Agreed. @WildCard when are you free? We have until Wednesday night to conduct the draft.

Well, that's not ideal.

Wait--what Larsson news? Google is giving me nothing.

Yes. And then below the list LGR says that Lafrieniere could be in his own tier.

I'd trade it for Mad Max in a hot second.

I get it, but no. Trade it.

I don't think Lafreniere belongs in his own tier at all. He's not McDavid, he's not Eichel, he's not even Auston Matthews. I think he's Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Maybe Taylor Hall. Maybe. I don't want the Sabres using this pick on a "safety" or on a tier-3 player. TRADE THE PICK already.

They're trying to help me extend my bracket for one more round. That is exactly what I would say about them. He's fine with the assists, and if you watched the pre-game warmup, he did a great job of firing up his team.

That's a little too much for me, and I'm still patient with Montour for whatever reason. Mittlestadt and a third or fourth probably gets it done IMO.

Absolutely. But like everything else, it depends on the price.
