Derek Roy?

I can't stop myself from making this joke: this team has plenty of queens already. Sorry folks.
-
So it's one of those odd red bananas I'm always afraid to try at the grocery store?
-
I figured that was a hot dog or a sausage.

If it gets to the point were Makarov is playing on the Sabres, you think we'll hear a "He's hotter than a pistol" call? http://en.wikipedia..../Makarov_pistol (one of only two pistols I've fired)

That makes sense. So Leino is now one of those players whose cap hit is higher than is salary, which low-budget teams are supposedly looking for. The only problem there is will anyone want to take on 4 more years. It'd be better if it was only a couple more. Next born son? :) That too, I still have hope for him after watching play here in Philly. FWIW, he showed some nastiness and chirp last season, so he may be useful as-is, just overpaid. As opposed to Boyes who was overpaid and mostly useless.

I'd guess Lu not getting traded may be in part due to the lockout. I think many teams would take on either of Vanek or Miller, they don't have as negative view of them. If you get anything back (even picks), that's better than a buy-out. Leino, maybe. Although at $4.5M (cap-hit), he's not *that* expensive. I suspect you might get a low-budget team to give up a pick or two for him after this season when the signing bonuses are paid out.

I think you misread that post. :)

One might argue having term limits would just put them more in the pocket of lobbyists (I know, hard to believe), since they'd need to set themselves up for a job after their term.

It happens when you take photos. I have a friend who's a semi-pro, and when he's taking landscapes (not his pro gig) he'll take a picture, look at it on his camera, and when he gets back find there's power lines or some other unattractive thing in the shot. The human brain is very good at filtering out stuff that's 'not important' to the task at hand, like listening to one person in a crowded room. I watched a couple shows over the holidays on cable about it, crazy stuff.

Wowza! I'm gonna be.... busy for a bit.

Feel free. ;)

?

Same here. I didn't listen to much disco growing up, being two years old when that song was released. It has grown on me a bit, mostly via listening to ELO.
-
I believe that's correct. The kid's 19 (tomorrow) in a league filled with 20-24 year-olds, some of whom would be on NHL rosters had there not been a lockout. I think he'll be fine. Maybe not on the NHL roster this year or even in the next couple, but within a few years.
-
Pretty much. If all the guys in the ring of fame or whatever pooled their money, they *might* have enough to get into the room.
-
Just make sure she agrees.
-
Clearly, he can't stand up to the rigors of a full-tournament. Now how do we blame Lindy's goalie schedule for this?
-
You'd at least be able to trade him for draft picks or something. I'm not saying that's all he'd return, but if you really wanted to dump him, does anyone really think many teams wouldn't trade their 1st or 2nd round picks?
-
That the rumor again? I wouldn't think he'd have the cash for that.
-
Call customer service using the number on the back of your card. That's a good bet anyways, calling a number from a phone message and handing over you bank details could be dangerous.
-
TV series: lots. Movies: not so much. Goon is on it though, and there's a few gems if you like B-movies.
-
You're far too classy to get humor that low. :)
-
I'm so glad I listened long enough to get to the lyrics, awesome.

With Fitz apparently on the way out, Buffalo needs another serious beard.
