  1. With 5 games in 7 days, I wonder how much more ragged than usual the preseason play will be with the inconsistent practice time.

    I used to lurk there! I am glad you are here, but I do miss your old site.
  3. With Comrie too?

    Welcome back!
  5. I assume that nobody means "Relax" like Frankie Goes to Hollywood did.
  6. An interesting counterfactual would be if Babcock has come to Buffalo instead of using the Sabres against the Maple Leafs. But that is years of Niagara River water under the Rainbow Bridge.
  7. I try to find new music every year. I find that modern hip-hop, prog-metal, and country-pop are my usual landing spots. I do find the pop charts to be less interesting than even 10 years ago, but there is a lot out there to find, so my desire for novelty is usually sated.
  8. I think it is just the summer doldrums along with the aggravation of the blasted playoff drought, whence the prospect talk for the next draft has crept into the preseason before. I imagine that the prospect talk will start to fade once the season starts and there has better be some Sabres playoff games to delay most of the prospect discussion further for the next decade or so.
  9. Building on this. Remember that the internet started as ARPAnet, which was built by the Defense Department. The old DoD internet nodes are still there, so you should assume that everything you put on your phone in particular and online in general is available for data mining by government agencies. That does not even include the often embarrassing lack of security in web apps, not to mention hackers of all types can break into virtually anything.
  10. To me, what he did is flat out creepy. That could be it.
  11. What? If Columbus were a veteran team, the hire would have made sense. For a young team, he is the wrong guy. My evaluation has nothing to do with being a good capitalist pig (and I mean that as praise) and using the Sabres to play off of against the Leafs.
  12. The organist also played the "Batman" theme whenever he was announced.
  13. This is what I was wondering. Babcock is known for playing veterans over developing youngsters.
  14. Nope. Not even that.
  15. Welcome to the board!
  16. Answer: leaving the penalty box too early. I remembered that is was the strangest penalty my 8 year old self has ever heard of. 50 years later and still nothing has surpassed it.
  17. Not surprising.
  18. Remember in 2005-6 and 2006-7, where the Sabres weathered the storm of the equivalent of 2 forward lines being out at one time? That is why I like the emerging depth.
  19. You would think that the travails of the last "sure thing" goaltender of a class, Malcolm Subban, would finally ward off GMs.
  20. All I can say is, "wow."
  21. I am glad you got through it.
  22. I saw this on my news feed. I did not see the GDT, so I made it. Addendum: Buffalo Sabres YouTube channel
  23. I like it. I have been diagnosed as clinically boring. I never have been or will ever be a junkie. I can think of reasons to rouse the rabble, but I don't think that I am capable rousing them.
  24. Does there appear to be better spacing between the forwards and defencemen on the back check? It looks that way to me.
