There actually could be some news soon about an event. Whether it involves Jim remains to be seen. My name should be engraved on the Cup.

He went on at length one night about split pea soup. Art didn't take himself too seriously, a trait young sports personalities should think about adopting. It's sports. It's supposed to be fun. Oh yeah, Art once said he dated a gal from Bradford, PA.

It seems like I've asked this in recent years. When is the absolute nadir of interest in hockey? When is the news the driest and dustiest? We might be past them. August is into double digits, and team previews/outlooks are popping up.

Rusks. Rusks. They're a hard biscuit often given to teething babies. Hence the reference as the Scheffler baby made motions toward the Claret Jug. I posted a message on a Scots Language Forum on Facebook, and a top contributor had the answer. We were missing a Scottish ear and knowledge of Scottish foods, is all. Again, thank you Al Gore for the Internet.

I was hoping the wordly @Sabres Fan in NS had posted to solve my Lusks Mystery. Alas, no. My friend, see my video post above and tell me what the bloody Hell the man said, and what it means.

Lux is a British vodka. Would make sense, I guess. I know. It's making me a little crazy. Lusks doesn't appear to be a thing.

You can fill the Cup with all manner of things, but what in the world is the announcer filling the Claret Jug with at about 11:12 in the video? CC says "lusks." That doesn't seem to be right.

Just been keeping an eye on things. With the dust perhaps settling, the following from Mike Rose of the Batavia Daily News seems like the best summary I've seen. The Sabres seem to be stuck in Meh Mode. But let's see what the fall brings. "The Sabres did make several additions that appear to be positives. Michael Kesselring and Connor Timmins should help shore up the right side of the defense pairings, and Josh Doan and Justin Danforth should be quality depth contributors for the forward group. In addition, Alex Lyon provides a solid goaltender to add to the mix. The problem is that most of those moves are along the margins of the roster. With the departure of JJ Peterka in the deal that brought in Doan and Kesselring, Buffalo needed more than that to elevate to a team that can be feared in the Atlantic Division." https://www.thedailynewsonline.com/sports/rose-with-sabres-seemingly-done-making-moves-the-same-philosophical-issues-remain/article_1b8de285-3b92-464c-a5d9-5e585d75faca.html

If they are, it's only on paper, which doesn't mean anything.

I'll let Rick speak for me.

A spool of transactions? A thread?

So close.

Y'all thought KA was lying when this was brought up before.

I will probably break down and pony up for this article. Fairburn should be saluted and supported for being perhaps the only truth teller re: Sabres left. Of course the truth he reported on has been known since almost Day One, but those with a rich guy fetish denied it and made me the villain instead. Correction. Day One. "I like hard-working, gritty players." Within weeks one of the Tweety Bird daughters let it slip her dad was impressed by Ehrhoff in the playoffs. New, old news.

I've told the story about briefly working with a man who (said he) knew Terry well during his Olean days. "He's a nice guy, but he thinks he knows more than he does."

Didn't you mean...

TBN has the scoop, in an erase-the-past Orwellian headline: After a big year in Rochester net, Devon Levi hopes his NHL shot is coming

If I Could Put Farts in A Bottle to the tune of If I Could Put Time in a Bottle was a thing back in the day, but there's scant evidence of it online, at least at first glance. There does seem to be copious evidence of people using the USPS to mail farts in jars. There's a story about how some lovely young gal made a million dollars!

Yeah Thorny pic or it didn't happen! Really, guys, you don't know your fellow poster by now?

Next?

I always hesitate to characterize these people whom we don't really know. For example, Kyke Okposo Good Man. Who knows? We can only go by what we know. Terry might not be mean, but on Day One he went to visit TBN and he went after them. I might never forget how he sat there and scraped the junk out of his fingernails onto the conference room table. Yes, it happened! I think there's a passive aggressiveness to the man. Mean? How about ghosting Sabres fans? Cruel, at the least. And that's not to mention what he's actually done to come close to destroying the franchise. I've always suspected that a change took place when he was booed on RJ Night.

I mention the bat and it conjures up Eleven (no one fact check the timing; it's 2025 and facts don't matter). I'm tellin' ya, that bat idea will return EVERYTHING Sabres to glory.

Contact made. Enthusiasm. It's gonna be up to Jim now, I suspect.

Yes. She was Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt. If her middle name was Rosario she could come back as a voice on NPR. Her uncle was Teddy. She married a distant cousin in Franklin.
