Waiver claim. He didn't make the opening roster.

My brother's starting his drive from Boca to Raleigh today. We're out of the cone at this point, so it should be just some rain and wind. Seeing the Matthew stuff in this thread reminded me of the crappiness that was October last year though.

I was all ready to say that father crowbar-to-the-knee is also undefeated, but she still won the silver medal. I'm not sure if that's a win or not.

It's not getting close at all. Canada still has over half the players out there. If you combined the US with the rest of the world, then yes, it's getting close.

How would it work in the courts given that it's an international league? Does it have to be contested in only one of the two countries or would it just be an issue where the league headquarters are located?

I've always heard it could make you go blind. They never said anything about tennis elbow.

No timeout after an icing call. I like that one too.

Also in there is a link about trying to change the draft age from 18 to 19. Let's ignore for a second whether or not you think it's a good idea. How exactly could they roll out this change? Whenever that happens, you wind up with a year with basically no draft prospects. All of those top 19 year olds would have been drafted the year before and no new pool of prospects is added. The only players remaining are the ones who were not drafted the year before. This, of course, would be the year that the Sabres would win the draft lottery.

Has Tkachuk had a big rise in the past year? I would have sworn when he originally was recruited by BU that he didn't project out anywhere near as high as his brother. I suppose strength of draft class could factor in a bit. And obviously it's super early and things will change, but no canadians until #6. It's always interesting when you see that. It reminds me of 2016 until Dubois suddenly snuck in there.

I'm sure they like to have a little fun by having Crosby at 87 points. Since they don't give any hint at where the numbers come from, I'm going to go ahead and assume that was intentional.

I wonder how they come to the conclusion that Burns will be the only one on that list to play all 82 games. It's kind of an odd little quirk.

Hey man, whatever turns you on.

You have to fill your Cody quota somehow.

Why would you start with the year after the lockout? Your arbitrary cutoffs are going to destroy the world.

Quick, let's play a game and name them all off the top of my head: Penner Vanek Bernier Backes Weber Hjalmarson O'Reilly (I love the story behind this screwup) Kessler Why am I getting 8?

Eichel leaves a lot of money on the table if he only signs for 4 years, even if it's at that rate. I'm not so sure there's any player/agent combo out there that would take that risk today. Sure, one might say that he's doing it right now, but there a huge difference between 1 year gamble and a 4 year gamble.

I always thought the sound of the first day of school was the extra 30 minutes or so of morning radio that I have to listen to while stuck in traffic.

The Bills thread?

A house in our neighborhood was struck by lightning last night. They wound up with an attic fire. I've never seen so many fire trucks fly into a neighborhood rapid fire style. They put it out quickly. It was probably a very good thing that someone was home when it happened. If no one was there to report it quickly, I bet the house would have been a total loss.

Seriously folks, stop responding to this crusade and maybe the tread can become readable again. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Not when you have trusted employee status. The higher ups say we don't need to switch it back. I'm going to have to document every reason why the thing sucks. That's about the only way that I could maybe get this fixed. Every day we find even more reasons why it doesn't work.

Yeah, I wonder what might have made me think that...

This is exactly where I am. He's a top pair guy by default. In an ideal world, he's probably second pairing.

It's not exactly rocket science figuring out where the posts are given that your total i found directly under your avatar. So let's not pretend that I'm scanning through and counting every single post. But anyway, here's what I'm thinking here. You apparently got drummed out of TSW due to your attitude and unpopular opinion, so you decided to jump over here so you could try over with the same stuff. You came here specifically to talk about the Bills and lash out a bit about what happened over there. Now, maybe you will convince me otherwise as we get closer to hockey season, but that's where I'm sitting right now.

So you're saying he has hit triple digits? I'm still not convinced that anyone could be older than PA.
