  1. Instead of having a lottery among the bottom finishers, why not award the first overall pick in the NHL draft to the team that has missed the playoffs for the most consecutive years? There would be little to no incentive for tanking. It could keep teams from ending up in drought limbo, e.g, the Sabres.

    Thoughts?

    Are we seriously arguing that their uniforms have an affect on whether they win or lose?!

    Good lord. Love them or hate them, but but choose because of your personal taste, not because you think it will help them win.

    My theory is that the Sabres are doing so well on the road because they have a pre-2003 mindset, and think they are playing at home because they are wearing white. (Of course I'm talking about the white jersey blue pants combo, not the all-white reverse retros.)

    Buffalo has done it!!

    This needs its own thread as it's a monumental achievement as records go back to 1878 here.

    With the 6.2" recorded today at the airport thru 10am, Buffalo has set the all-time record for most snowfall in a season thru December with 98.9", breaking the 95.9" previous record set in 2000. Current storm total is 49.7" officially.

    Almost a foregone conclusion this will be the first time ever Buffalo records 100+" of snow by the end of December(a given based on the previous record being 95.9"). Still lightly snowing and expecting 3-5" more tonight and 1-3" tomorrow.

    It's been a hell of a winter already...now Buffalo sets it's eyes on becoming the first city with 100K+ population to ever get 200" in a season in the US. Buffalo also hols that record of 199.2" in the infamous 1976-77 season(blizzard of 77).

    As a sidenote, 2000 saw the 2nd highest seasonal snowfall ever of 158.7".

    Congrats by the way on using its and it's correctly in the same sentence. It's a rarity these days, which might also deserve its own thread!
