So what's the tie-breaker in the standings? Just curious why I'm last of the 5-3 teams. I know it says head to head, is that with the person in front of you? Is it the total H2H record against the whole group that's 5-3?

I think it's a gross violation of Constitutional Rights. I understand where people are coming from when trying to stay safe, but where do you draw the line? The Patriot Act comes to mind. Of course I'm on the side that thinks this is terribly blown out of proportion with typical media sensationalism and fear mongering.

I think I forgot to set my lineup for Sunday. Don't think it would have made a difference in the outcome, maybe one category. Just pissed because I've been good at keeping up. Man this league is a whole different ballgame compared to the ESPN points-type league.

Mandatory quarantine for anybody. In this case someone that has tested positive for Ebola. In recent cases the 48 people that were quarantined simply for having symptoms.

Mandatory quarantine for Ebola patients, violation of Constitutional rights?

They finish the season off playing the Pats, Packers and Broncos in the last 4 weeks. They need to come off the bye taking 3 of 4 for any chance of making the playoffs.

Looks like it was precautionary. http://bluejackets.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=736245

Nick Foligno stretchered off after hit with official. http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/614427 I think he finally realized he isn't getting any younger and if he got traded elsewhere he might get bounced around for a couple of years for deadline deals. At least down here he might still get some decent playing time for a while. Seems like the Panthers and Canucks have been buddy-buddy in making deals with each other over the last several years.

His family is here, he owns a couple of restaurants here. He was lobbying to get traded to FL for a while. Maybe he thinks he can't get trashed for being a choker in the playoffs if he plays for a team that rarely makes the playoffs. :D

Well, only one of us is going to be right. :P I hope Sammy doesn't cost me a win.

Why do I get this felling that, for the 3rd straight week, I'm going to be in the top 3 highest scores and come away 0-3?

If I had a dime for every correct prediction I deleted................. :angel:

Luongo vs. Glendale Rinne vs. Pens Hiller vs. Caps Elliott vs. Hawks Apparently all four are starting tonight and I need to pick two for my other league. Who do I go with?

Myers is cocky and confident again. Do we see a bout with him and John Scott?

By the way, if the Sabres become the worst offensive team since 1936, they will have broken their own record set last year. The Sabres were actually worse than the 1997-98 Lightning (1.84GPG vs. 1.85GPG) and the worst offensive team in 78 years.

Not to mention the fact that the Sabres have an entirely new defensive core. So even if they had a ton of talent, you just don't go into a new season with everybody gelling. That's not something Nolan (or any coach) can fix overnight.

Let's point out a few obvious factors. This is a fairly new lineup compared to last year. Relatively speaking some new pieces are big parts of the lineup. Moulson wasn't here all year last year, Stewart barely played, the D core is completely revamped and Gionta was added. You don't start off the season on a tear when guys are still getting used to each other. Now let's add in the obvious.......... there is a lack of talent on this team. There are plenty of guys that can score, but there isn't enough talent to force the opposing team to have to defend 3 lines with their best defensive lines. When you can't spread the scoring around your best line is stuck against the best defensive pairings all night long. So the 1st line end up scoring less. It's not because they suck, most of them are doing all they can at this point. It's also not Nolan's fault they aren't scoring. He can only do so much; he has little to work with. Can we also throw in the fact that the Sabres have played arguably the top 3 Cup contenders in 4 of the first 8 games of the season, two of them on back to backs on a west coast trip? This team isn't going to the playoffs this year. We all know it. But, take all those factors into consideration and the rest of the year isn't going to be this bad. They easily could have won last night, and with a lucky bounce could have gotten at least a point tonight. Compared to the first few games of the season, I think these last two were pretty decent so when you take into account who and where they were playing, they can win a few here and there against lesser teams.

Nolan needs to keep starting Neuvirth. This team is a scoring machine when he starts in net.

Is it just me or does Myers look like a completely different player? He doesn't have that lost look on his face any more.

In the Sabres defense, it's actually 177:06.

Sammy Watkins and a 2015 1st round pick?

Hell, I check my team every day. Don't know how anbody can go more than a couple days without cheking even if you've set your lineups ahead of time.

Lindy's having his way with Miller tonight.

Ah OK. Forgot about that one. That INT cost me a win too. So that's two wins Wilson's cost me in two weeks. Grrr........... I'd say 37.12 fantasy points would qualify a QB as top 12.

He's a smart guy, he's probably waiting until our game becomes official, I still have one player left.
