This is part of the normal flow of pre-draft hype, right? It seems like (almost) every year people start to scrutinize the likely top picks and someone always writes about how the consensus #2-3 pick might be as good as #1.

I'm not sure if that's a typo, but I love it.

Very cool! I have a big bag of Genmaicha tea at home, which is a mix of roasted rice and green tea. It's an interesting taste.

It may be worth noting there's a power dynamic here; Friedman (I'd think) ranks way higher than Mike Harrington. Harrington is likely going to be on best behavior around him so he doesn't alienate a more powerful "colleague" in the media. MH seems like the kind of guy that sucks up to his superiors and talks down to anyone "below" him.

Bring Nick Lidstrom in as an advisor or scout. :)

It was the second round, so seems right.

I'll really getting the feeling Brandon was really tight with the TBN guys. Maybe he brought the hookers and blow or something.

That sounds like a great oppurtunity, even in "Region 11" sounds like some shadowy government agency in a Sci-fi plot.

My neighbor has started leaving the light at the back of his house on 24/7. It's gonna be great enjoying a nice evening looking at the stars with a 100W equivalent bulb shining into my yard. The houses are close enough to be really annoying.

Two Decades.

I "noticed" earlier, but my brain often substitutes words so I figured I was seeing things. I shouldn't doubt the power of my mind, LOL.

I used to travel to another site and do some crazy IT stuff in support of experiments; "Pizza Night" was code for "we're staying until midnight. I do miss it though.

I'm sure you could, but scoring 7 points per game for a (small) stretch against your peers is still incredible.

I can't believe it! No one could have predicted this!

LOL. Garbage Plate belongs in the garbage.

On the flip side, a bottom-pair D like Nelson would have to wonder if bringing the a new hotshot D pushes him into the pressbox or AHL.

Buffalo will have the better roster when they're ahead of Toronto for a number of games in the standings, or ahead in games in a series, and not a moment before. Fool me once, shame on you Sabres; fool me twice... you can't get fooled again!

A quick look says he's an Ops person, so probably not. Ops is mostly getting widgets out and supply chain stuff. It's entirely likely he hasn't written a line of code since college (and that's only if Industrial Engineering in 1982 including writing some FORTRAN on punch cards).

From the Buffalo News article: Media member appears to be another thing entirely, just more ammo to fire him.

If you think that in a modern organization that (presumably) has policies about coworker relationships between different levels (like my company does), a President that doesn't report relationship(s) and then lies to his boss about it doesn't have consequences you're the one that's being naive.

His ######### is moving.

Bob did take himself out before a playoff game saying something like, "I can't handle this". Can you imagine the response here?

One plays for the center of the country, the other plays for the center of the universe.
