  1. Maybe it's my "Rochester serves at Buffalo's pleasure"bias, but it doesn't seem like I'd trade away a solid NHL D-man for 3 guys that may never make the NHL. If Leopold (or another Sabres' D) needs to be traded, it should be to address the Sabres' issues. Rochester can be addressed via the add-ons for the NHL-NHL player swap.
  2. I don't know if it's the corn in it or what, but there are some serious unnatural gas issues with it for me when I drink it. It doesn't actually *taste* that bad though, compared to other yellow beers.
  3. And PS3 owners, via the Gamecenter App. And Computer users via the web. I'll be keeping an eye out, but I'm skeptical since there's a lot of avenues for people to use GameCenter that would gut Center Ice (cable) sales. I think it's caught on as a Hipsterrific Beer, like PBR.
  4. Wow, I saw it for $5.5 in Philly once, you've now beat my record. I can kinda understand it in Georgia (right?) though, I wouldn't think they'd sell that much of it so the price per case has to go up for the distributor.
  5. Enroth has potential, but somehow I don't really see him being good enough to fill Miller's shoes. The Pistol was reportedly pretty good, but I didn't see him play.
  6. He wouldn't even have to move!
  7. The previous lockout was 365 days. :)
  8. And Edmonton losing their starting Goaltender (Roloson) in the first game of the SCF didn't matter either. (IIRC)
  9. Either where Hecht goes if you're trying for scoring1-scoring2-checking-sand, or on the fourth line if you're going for scoring2-scoring2-scoring2-sand(with some offence). I can think of worse fourth lines than Ott-Kaleta-1up.
  10. I think Ted Black said something like that at the presser. I heard on the radio here in Philly some stupidly small percentage of people returned their Flyers tickets too, so it's just a thing.
  11. I like http://www.trymynuts.com/, but that's more of a NC/VA thing.
  12. Isn't Carolina on the 19th bouncing around? Or was that from the original schedule?
  13. If you add PA as NY's slow little brother, that'd be a lot easier. :)
  14. A few weeks ago, I tried this one: http://thedrinknation.com/articles/read/9053-Spirits-Review-Dads-Hat-Rye At the time, I remember it being very smooth and very nice taken neat. Also, I was pretty drunk at the time, so don't take that as gospel.
  15. Bolded: Because the NHL is better competition. As I said, I don't think the airline 'issue' is an issue, unless people are being paranoid. But yes, you're 10 times more likely to be in an air crash in eastern europe (I'm not sure I'm reading that number right, but lets go with it). Dying on a Russian airplane is also 10 times *less* likely than being to be attacked by a shark, picking a perfect NCAA bracket, or being killed by falling airplane parts. (Being killed by a shark is way less than dying on a Russian Airplane). Speaking the NCAA, two teams (Marshall and Evansville basketball) have died in airline crashes. Maybe that's why a lot of players go to Juniors instead of NCAA Hockey.
  16. Yeah, Enroth really proved himself in that set of games. Heh. I'm not saying he disproved himself either, there was more to that stretch than Enroth.
  17. You missed this? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094834/ Heh, there's a character in the movie named "Dean Stockwell". I wonder how that worked, considering the real Dean Stockwell (Quantum Leap) was relatively famous at the time. I guess Hedley Lamarr was taken.
  18. Drane, you old such and such! They're the largest of the water-dog breeds?
  19. I don't see the Sabres doing that, really, unless the return is good. Right now, the only thing they're limited by (if you buy into the Warbucks-Pegula theory) *is* the cap. I think they'd rather buy him out or trade him for pucks than have a cap-tax for the next 4-5 years.
  20. Jeez. So yeah, you've gone from fly in NA with a very very very small chance of being in an air crash to RUS with a very very small chance of being in a air crash. Still have a better chance of dying in a car crash. I don't think that factors in that much.
  21. Think Scott Hartnell, but didn't show as much talent. Hustle, fights, hits, and wasn't an embarrassment in the offensive zone. Skated with Vanek (?) if I recall for a bit?
  22. I was going to ask that question: is Nasssib underrated because he's playing on a mediocre team in a mediocre conference? Andre Reed was picked in the 4th round, FWIW, probably because Kutztown State isn't on the map.
  23. That's how I read it. You can't trade Stafford + a 2nd round pick + 2013 buy-out for Nugent-Hopkins. :)
  24. It does sound good right now, I think it's subliminal. There's a place down the street that makes a sub-par but tolerable Texas Hotdog (as in Seneca Texas Hots or Louie's) which popped up in my Facebook feed. Additionally, I missed out on fresh Polish sausage on my last trip to Buffalo. I'll have to buy some this weekend when I'm up there.
