    You know, putting a Tim Hortons in a tree house would keep it away from ROR's pickup.

    If the sports package means "I get a bunch of regional channels", the last time I had it it was SOP for games to be blacked out live (since they're "available" via CI in your local market). Back in 2002-04 the midnight replay on Empire Sports wouldn't be blacked out, but I don't know if that's still true.

    ROR is terrible, have you seen his +/- from last year? The archive feed I'm watching now is HD-ish on my phone.

    Pu dropped.

    Rewording the headline, Six Sabres draft picks, including one with Pun-friendly name, returned to Junior. If Pu had stuck around, that'd be notable as few 3rd-rounders do in after their first camp.

    Like a dingleberry? (I had to. I'm sorry. I'll get me coat and be off.)

    I'm not sure why I'm doing this: Corsi: this is raw shots. The guy that goes out and plays against Ovechkin, Crosby, and Eichel every shift is going to look worse than the guy on his team playing against the Pat Kaletas, Adam Mairs, and MFolignos of the league. The same goes for +/-.

    Make sure to put an air vent in, we'd miss you otherwise.

    A> Is there some rivalry between Penn State and the NCAA school he went to (if applicable) B> It's a standard college hockey thing

    Bolded, good insight. That's real experiences. More memories that have been awakened: - A couple years ago, there burned-out house along US13 in Virginia with "KKK Burn Out" spray painted on the front. - For a friends bachelor party, I suggested a bar that I and groom liked and his black friend told us he couldn't go there because he worried he'd get strung up. Guy was a Marine that was a spitting image of Tiki Barber (both face and build)

    What's your definition? If people saying things like "Mexicans are all rapists and drug dealers" or "Black people are lazy criminals", you don't have to look very far. And yes, I consider those things racist. Someone once said to me, "it was better when the police kept them in one area of town." This person was born in the 60s, so we're certainly not talking about pre-Civil Rights.

    The same way "It ran last time I parked it" is a common refrain for cars. Things corrode and age with time; rats chew wires. Further, start-up is the most stressful part of many device's cycle; computer hard disks fail most often on booting up. Appliances and human bodies create heat. Think about going to a crowded bar or concert where it's a ton hotter inside than outside for an extreme case.

    How about the Key-shka? (Also, I have no idea where the video mash-up came from)

    Come on, someone on the Sabres had to have had an awesome Jeff Lynn-style fro back before mandatory helmets. Help me out, I'm just a youngin.

    One of them, and I don't care which, should do the old, "offer the hand and pull it away to smooth their hair" trick.
  15. MattPie
    So loss in regulation, right?

    If that's his way of saying he'll stop slumming and on the lookout for rando hookups, I'll take it.

    It could be Broasted Chicken, that's better than boiled. For me, KBC: Korean Bucket Company, makers of not all that fine motorsport helmets (including MattPie's first street motorcycle helmet)

    It's bright enough, the navy blue will look like Royal.

    Luke can't remember after the concussion Lindy gave him.

    Grit can work in the NHL playoffs, but doesn't work in a short tournament like this. Team USA reminds me of a startup a friend of mine worked at a bunch of year ago. They hit the lotto on a bunch of young all-star computer guys that worked cheap since they were just out of college. Instead of seeing this as "hire good people", the lesson they learned was, "we can hire cheap college kids as other leave". Last I heard the company wasn't doing so well. The parallel here? Ryan Miller takes Team USA to the Silver medal in 2010 and suddenly a scrappy bunch of kids and a few wily vets is a team model, rather than bring the best players that work together.

    With the stuff that's already out on Trump and Clinton, I'm waiting with bated breath for the October Surprise!
  22. MattPie
    It is.
  23. MattPie
    Cushy minutes yes, but IIRC the 3rd line in 05-06 was SRV (Vanek, Roy, and Stafford) and they tore it up against 3rd pair D. Once 07-08 came around, suddenly they're getting 1st pair D and shutdown forwards.
  24. MattPie
    Couldn't possibly be that he went from the 3rd line to the 1st and the increased D quality he faced, right? I'm not saying Vanek was great, but a lot changed in the league and team at the same time he went from ELC to his big contract.
  25. MattPie
    Do you think these would be OK, or would he flip out to find they're brown on the inside?
