Sharpen your mind. Sharpen your flats and naturals.

This is sad, because upstate NY has the perfect mix of populations to experiment with various compromises on movement and protection. Too bad.

I have an episode of Magnum, PI which has this as a commercial. The PO Box was in my current area code!

The BPO has had some online concerts that have been really cool. JoAnn Faletta likes to venture outside the standard repertoire, which I find very refreshing. Even when the BPO perform the standard repertoire, they do something different and fresh.

We have a winner. And you have options.

Not that the Sabres deserve the benefit of the doubt, but that seems unduly harsh to me.

IMHO, May was also a victim of how John Muckler evaluated players. Dudley saw himself in May and often played him with Hawerchuk. Muckler exiled him to the bottom of the line-up.

That was good to read. Thanks, PTR.

I don't get the hate for Dalton. He reminds me the most of the character from the books and his movies have the same tone as the early books. Much as I love Connery, Fleming changed the tone of the books to fit him whereas Dalton and the writers fit the books. Also, he was great as Rassilon. BTW, if you want to see the best acting George Lazenby ever did, have a look at the season 12 finale of "Hawaii Five-0", "The Year of the Dragon." IMHO, he's the best thing in it.

This is spectacular analysis. Kudos.

"He doesn't think this is a damn show. He thinks it's a damn fight." Love that wake-up call for Apollo Creed.

What about Barry Nelson, from the 1954 TV Movie as American Jimmy Bond working for the CIA where Felix Leiter was a Brit? (It was broadcast on TBS many years ago when they first got rights to the Bond films.) 0:-)

Punch Imlach was known to protect leads with two forwards and three defencemen. (I have watched enough parts of old games from the 1930's until I started watching hockey in 1970 to have seen numerous other teams use this tactic.) Roger Nielson regularly used defencemen (looked it up: particularly Dean Hutchison) with Darryl Sittler and Lanny MacDonald to relieve them of defencive responsibilities until they matured and learnt the NHL game. I remember reading that one of the reasons players like Jimmy Roberts, Murray Wilson, Red Kelly, and Jerry Korab played both forward and defence is that their teams could play a third forward when protecting a lead or stand in front of the net on the power play.

I think the owners would oppose that as it is money out of their pockets immediately.

I see we have a parting gift from GMJB.

When I listened to fans for years, you would have assumed the Sabres never had anyone who would fight. Yet I can spend 2 hours looking at them.

That's a bargain. I would have preferred keeping him at numbers well above this.

The first American-born Black player in the NHL. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/video/val-james-historic-achievement/t-277437090/c-6880467 Part of the "Hockey Is for Everyone", which were discussing recently.

I experienced incidents that were very similar. I am with you.

It's not just me, is it? GMKA's already had a better off-season on paper than any of GMJB's, right?

Welcome, @chloewoj.

For the last several years, through my fingers in a mixture of disbelief and disgust, why?

Until COVID-19 is under control, IMHO, the NHL should try to get 1/3 capacity with social distancing and masks with all the games outdoors if they play a season.

A Stanley Cup is was he's hoping to retire on. Playoffs are what we need him to do again.
