SDS

A quick scan of our posters had the same top five

So the top five went as expected, just not in the predicted order.

Like Steven Tyler from Aerosmith used to say: don’t bore us, get to the chorus.

How much better do you think Seattle will be?

This is messed up man.

Did the franchise buy everyone the same outfit?

We’re just shaking the dice man.

Bam.

That’s fine. But unless I have my dates wrong, he has substantially filled out departments since then. I know you’re more about yesterday and today than about tomorrow, but this year‘s draft should more accurately represent what he’s trying to do than previous ones.

I know we tend to focus on Adams, but let's keep in mind the new analytics team he has assembled to help make these choices. This really is the first draft of the new Sabres org.

Personally, he can ***** right off.

And Ottawa is a better situation?

The problem is that he will be held responsible for not knowing the unknowable.

can I get a copy of that? 🙂

RSS feeds and importable calendars used to be all the rage. Not anymore.

I really really wish I had a good schedule set up where I could input the data once and have it easily displayed in a variety of formats elsewhere.

Why are people upset about renaming the show that doesn’t fit anymore? This is like the Utah jazz. It’s silly. Brian Duff as an instigator? It’s long overdue.

I feel like the episode where Elaine‘s coworker sidled up next to her at the office. Welcome back.

That’s almost the definition of a back up.

You’re just not trying.

I don’t buy for a moment that his screaming helped anything. Where was the success the previous eight years? Did he just start screaming this year? how long has Sidney Crosby been in the league? Why doesn’t he win every year? What happens when we have 10 Nathan MacKinnon‘s and Sidney Crosby‘s in the league all yelling at their teammates? Is he who screams the loudest the winner? It’s dumb on every level imaginable. If people want to give him the credit for the Avs success, then they have to explain why people just like him, including himself, didn't win now or previously. This is all fan speak for people who like to read a good story.

That is incorrect. The rumors started early in the day.

Even a cursory analysis makes the conclusion farcical. If yelling lead to wins, then sports would be filled with people screaming at each other (Setting aside parents yelling at their children). It requires no talent to scream at someone that they’re not playing well enough. It doesn’t even require any specific knowledge. Everyone here in this forum could yell at another person. My daughter could yell at another person. I long for the day where the mystique of the authoritarian ***** berating slackers to win dies a justified death.

MacKinnon getting in peoples faces is a good fan story for certain fans, but anecdotes can’t really be relied upon as actual evidence of creating success.

You know what they say... 4th is the the new 1st.
