Why do people continue to use the term buffaslug? Sluggalo makes so much more sense and rolls off the tongue.

Unless he wants to play. That could throw a monkey wrench into the whole thing.

You do run into the game of being below the cap before placing them on LTIR like Toronto is playing right now. It’s a headache that would probably be great to avoid if possible. @Randall Flagg, it’s all a matter of semantics, but superstar and elite are interchangeable in my head. I hear that term and I think of the top tier immediately.

The hyperbole seems a bit over the top there. I realize it's subjective, I have a hard time labeling 36th in points per 60 minutes 5-on-5 as elite. I'm not exactly sure where I'd place the line, but 36 would definitely be behind it. People tend to go a bit too far in justifying the prospects/younger guys.

Thank you. Our Pommenstein filter finally makes sense to me.

It's almost like these kids are trying to shut down the league.

Guerin beat out the likes of Waddell and Chiarelli. As Homer Simpson put it, the two sweetest words in the english language: de-fault! de-fault! de-fault!

They're fake lenses. We're not talking about Bubbles here.

You're assuming Marions isn't the world's most highly regarded eye glasses model. This is a dangerous game you're playing.

Asking who inserted the thingie of their choice during this raucous party is completely inappropriate. What people decide to do on their own time is no one's business but their own.

They really went all out on the description for that one. It's shorter than my average post here.

So beer instead of champagne? I don't know, champagne feels more classy and appropriate for a championship.

I hope you remembered your goggles for all the post-game champagne spraying.

There’s way to much money to be had by Sony to not figure this out. They finally have the franchise working, they can’t afford to reboot it for the 18th time.

I can’t wait until someone quickly identifies which readily available don’t they used. Even better, once there’s a Captain C on there, it will help to push the candy canes nickname (was that one of yours?).

Did you ever think that I wanted to spare people from having to look at it??

If you're the carolina owner and you're unhappy with your road jerseys, you should probably come up with something better than their new replacement.

My wife regularly calls me an ass.

So there's the griffin that is half lion and half eagle. I wonder if the greeks have a buffalo bird.

What did you think it was?

I thought it was avocado toast. Isn't that the only food youngsters care about these days?

During my drive to and from work each day, I've been watching them essentially build an entirely new highway for about 4 years now. The main portion of the project is these two crossing exit ramp overpasses that will connect to the new highway. Watching them slowly build those overpasses has been interesting. You don't realize just how much goes into that until you actually see it in action. Anyway, I finally drove on that new section of road today. The overpasses aren't open yet, but at least the 4 years worth of temporary lanes with no shoulders are finally gone. One accident won't cripple that part of the drive anymore like it has for that entire time.

I really wish they’d move on from that whale breaking out of the C logo. It’s always looked awkward to me. Isn’t there some sort of corporate connection though that will keep them using it?

It must be Sabre day because the 4OT double shut out is on now.

It comes up in just about every site I click on after a google search. I'm sure we can question the validity of some of this stuff, but pretty much everything ties it to the explosion of 3rd jerseys. Your other good reason is that teams created new uniforms, and wanting to boost sales, they wanted to wear them at home. I'm content accepting the combination of those two explanations. The league wants more money, that one's not shocking. As for how burdensome it is, you need to remember that they're not just lugging around two sets of sweaters. There's also the extra set of socks, the second helmet, and in some cases, a different shell for the pants. It's not going to take up a back breaking amount of space, but suddenly becomes much easier to accidentally forget one piece.
