Dahlin - Jokiharju Power - Clifton Ryan Johnson - Erik Johnson Bryson rotated in So he moved Bryson back down to 7D after yesterday's practice. I wonder if EJ was not ready for a full workout (he had some lingering injury, no?)

Watch him score 2 goals/3 assists tomorrow. 😛

He's an RFA. He can't sign with another team.

I'd prolly see them in Dallas more than once a year once they realigned the divisions.

Levi is in Rochester. Granato said with a clear #1 (UPL), it's the best place for Levi and he will remain there unless "circumstances" change.

Don't ask. I have no explanation.

I think Muel has shown he's injury prone in that way.

All the reasons you say Reino wanted to go are reasons Mitts wants to stay. If they trade Mitts it'll go down as one of the worst trades ever.

But then they wouldn't be off-topic, would they?

Trading Reino tells me we don't want to let Mitts go.

Sure, let me tell you all about it.

When I lived there, the octopus was just a thing for the playoffs, reflecting the number of wins needed under the old format. I didn't see it as the actual team mascot. Maybe it's evolved over the years.

At this point I loathe all-star events (I won't even call them games).

Houston.

We've been through that in another thread. Most of us qualify for the Denny's senior discount.

Nope. Don't remember that one.

Generally I agree but if they came out too spicy hot, I'll dip in the blue. No, there's more to it than that. Celery also acts as a brush to scrub the hot sauce out of your mouth. Both serve a purpose, and the celery is more than just blue cheese delivery.

Agree, but how often do you see them ordered anymore? For Beef on Weck my favorite Buffalo places are Schwabl's in West Seneca and Ulrich's Tavern on Ellicott Street in the city. Ulrich's has that "old tavern" feel (I guess it's the oldest bar in the city). I'm thankful that there is a Buffalo native who's opened up a bar near me here in Fort Worth, Texas.

It's a niche thing. The were "the food of Buffalo" prior to the advent of wings.

Counterpoint, and this is from a NYC guy: Is America’s Pizza Capital Buffalo, New York?

There's a functional reason for blue cheese and celery. They're basically fire extinguishers if your wings are two hot for comfort.

Your complete Guide to Buffalo English. It's a bit dated but a good read. It doesn't definitively answer your question but it's mentioned in there. I know the original author of this piece. The chiding version drives me nuts, and it's used by some 'Spacers: "Do better."

I think this is from when Jack wasn't being lazy....

Mmmm, What?
