  1. Looks like Ennis made number 4 and Johnson number 1 on SportsCenter top 10 yesterday: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3b9xw3_sportscenter-top-10-plays-of-the-night-tuesday-october-27-2015-hd_sport
  2. I ended up driving up to Philly for the game. It was a lot of fun. The Fliers fan next to us kept muttering "They are 2-6, how are you losing?" and I really wanted to be like, "Our record doesn't really reflect our talent". It seems like they were finally able to finish. It was devastating when they gave up the late goal in the 3rd, but it made the OT goal that much sweeter. The place erupted, and all the energy came back and the Fliers seemed to feed on that to start OT. Prior to that they were all deflated. Some guy near me kept trying to start cheers of "Wake up Fliers" for most of the game. Nothing is better than hearing the Philly fans boo. And up by me there were booing a lot.. I didn't realize just how good that Johnson save was until watching the replays this morning.
  3. Man what a game. I don't normally bother posting much here, but I'm still excited from that game yesterday. I can't remember the last time I was this excited. Our offense was finally humming, especially on PP. Our defense/PK still needs some help, but overall a much better effort in that game than the previous two. And that Eichel goal...I can't stop rewatching it. I meant to record sportscenter last night. Only number 3, I guess that's still pretty good for hockey. I think it's too early to decide on Eichel, but I'd be comfortable with Girgs being our Captain next year. I'm not really a fan of the trend of making your best scorer your Captain personally. I thing Girgs is the perfect fit for Captain. Toss Eichel an A eventually maybe, but best to just let him focus on his game than leading the team. I wouldn't mind seeing Gionta turn the team over to Girgensons this year. I figure he'll be our captain until he retires though.
  4. If you mean for the hockey package the Home feed is on channel 2, which on FIOS the HD channel I think is 1467.
  5. I did a "Real Escape" game while visiting San Francisco and it was a lot of fun. We had to run around Japantown to find clues and solve puzzles to escape before we died. We didn't make it. Still fun though.
  6. Thanks! You should find some images of the Sabres playing golf for May. :)
  7. He's the caps color commentator and a former player. He's the one who called Weber cheap. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Laughlin
  8. Craig Laughlin is an idiot. I'm sad to think he's an alumni of my college and that they retired his number. He constantly says stupid things during the Caps broadcasts.
  9. Didn't they push it back to 8pm (for some unspecified reason)? http://sabres.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=753924
  10. These young kids need to learn now while it's tough to help them later when it's easier. The difference between a good team and a great one are those teams that don't quit and win the bad games and pull out the upsets because they believe they can. I'm too much of a pessimist that we'd ever get McDavid anyways. I don't know if Eichel will have that much of an impact. Hell no one knows for sure if McDavid will. So even if we finish last and lost the lottery again who knows. Plus that's only 1 guy. The Penguins didn't win the cup because they got Crosby. They won because of Maulkin, Stahl, Fluery AND Crosby (among others). I'm not really convinced we're one young "generational" player away from a cup. Would I like McDavid? Sure, but the chances of us getting him even if finish last are only 20% unless one of our other first round picks (Islanders, Blues) also finish in the lottery, and I don't see that happening. Not unless Tavaras goes down again. I think this is good for the young players we already have and therefore good for the future. Edit fixed some typos.
  11. Awesome. Thanks for doing an Olympic version too!
  12. Really depends on what she plans to use it for. I'm not a fan of the kindle fire. It's a very customized android tablet. If you want an android tablet I'd just get a Nexus 7. I love my first generation one. If she mostly wants to read on it, I would look at a Kindle paperwhite instead. If she already uses Apple, the new iPad mini might be the way to go. I wouldn't get a first gen mini though as they are inferior to even the original Nexus 7. The kindle app, on my nexus tablet works well. I read on it a fair bit. The only drawback of it compared to the fire is if you want to stream Amazon videos.
  13. It's a great year for the ECAC, makes me feel a little better that my alma mater (Clarkson) did so poorly this year.
  14. Thanks as always.
  15. If only the Sabres were as good at what they do as you are at making these wallpapers. Thanks as always.
  16. My favorite moment was after the Ottawa brawl when he got up on the boards to yell at Bryan Murray.
  17. It's MSG's fault. They refuse to sell their HD feeds to cable companies. Verizon and at&t took them to court (and won) to force them, but sadly that hasn't seemed to help in demand (the company that provides the package to cable companies. DirectTV seems to have it. Possibly because they are satellite and have MSG as part of their sports package.
  18. Well a 5 minute penalty would be a major, and therefore a goal wouldn't end the penalty. You can score as many as you're able in 5 minutes. Now if say Chara had a 4-minute double minor, and Lucic had a 2 minute, if it's teams choice, I'd assume they'd take Lucic in that situation simply to avoid extending the 5-3.
