I imagine the Beauts will lead the league in scoring, the Pride in PIM, the Riveters in blocked shots and the Whale in, uh, fat jokes.
-
FWIW, I'm given to understand that "beaut" is a term that is used without regard to gender in the hockey world.
"You see that sick saucer pass that Gordo sent me? Guy's a real beaut."
Never thought of that. A double-entendre then.

Which would be fine, but he also seems to be earnestly angsty about it most of the time.
Oh, I guess I can't lie, then :P
I yearn for your avatar.

Why? Because of a grrl thang?
A grrl I know does not love the name either. But as an Islanders fan she hates the Riveters' colors, initials and logo — all borrowed heavily from the Rangers — so she might by default have to be a Beaut fan.
The Beaut logo is a subtle, more abstract buffalo than we're used to seeing. I kind of like it.
Why does the Pride logo feature Hershey skid marks?

RC Cola is still perty tasty.

Again, it's the marshmallow experiment.
It's getting pretty heated for tonight.
How come they're not making S'mores in Edmonton?

You're way too young to be this big of a curmudgeon.
The c-word! Yeah! Yeah! Get 'im!!!!!

Oh, boy, Eleven just jumped up from his bunk, put on his turnout gear and slid down the fire pole. Station 51, KMG-365!
-
Yep, we're here. Now let's take care of the business at hand and be done with it.
Done with it? Yeah, until we wake up for many years drenched in sweat, little devil faces coming toward us, then retreating, coming back, feeling like fire ants are on our ballsacks. A price has to be paid for this, even if it's living with, "You tanked for McDavid. Nice Cup, douchenozzles." That is, the same treatment most of us give the Pens.

I suspect the team already reflects the city. Where the only way to succeed is to win the lottery.
Eleven is going to come down on you like a ton of bricks! Ohhhhh, you're in such trouble.

Balls O'Hard? Another Irish curse?

This is all Terry Pegula had to say when addressing Koelmel in a fairly far-ranging interview with Carruci:
On John Koelmel leaving HarborCenter: “John has moved on. He did a great job at getting the HarborCenter thing going.”
Whatever, I guess. It just doesn't sound like a truly amicable parting.
See, reading-into is fun, innit?
*This* close to a confession! Maybe HBO can mic Terry up and hope he takes a confessional leak.
• On Kim Pegula’s role – “If you divide it between the actual sports side and the business side, she’s working closely with (Sabres President) Ted Black and Russ Brandon on the business side, and I haven’t been as involved on that side of it. That’s what she likes to do; she’s good at it. So I actually stay over on the sports side, the actual makeup of the teams and working with how we’re going to build the team, the coaching staff. I talk to Doug every day.”

Very good discussion so far.

Let's assume Buffalo really is blue-collar and hard-working. It's a subjective and IMHO trite description, but leaving that debate aside the question is whether any of that should really matter when building a hockey team.
GMTM has touched on giving Buffalo a team that reflects its character. The owner has said he likes gritty and hard-working players. Nolan has often talked about it. Yesterday, he again referenced the work ethic of the city when he was asked about the idea that fans would boo their team and cheer for the opposition down the stretch.
Sabres coach Ted Nolan expects the city’s blue-collar fans will appreciate his team’s effort.
“I don’t think you have to say anything to this city,” Nolan said Tuesday. “This city knows what it’s like to work. It’s a city full of workers. I don’t know anybody in this town who would go to work and not give their best, and that’s what we’re trying to do as a hockey team. So I’m quite sure the fans will get behind that.”

Over the years, I think this whole notion has sometimes been a way of marketing the team, giving the fans what they supposedly want. Think late 80s and mid 90s.
How much of this should actually enter GMTM's thinking when building his team? Me, I hope the occasional comments are just some PR crumbs thrown to the population. Or, if the team ends up reflecting this mythical image of the city, that it's only because that's what makes the most hockey sense to give us what we all really want. I don't want Murray thinking about it at all.

Miller is average
No, he just wasn't elite. Unless the Olympics were right around the corner.
And now I will punch a big, old-school stapler into my right thigh, very near the family jewels, over and over to try and release the pain from my soul.

His quotes demonstrate a lack of understanding of geography.
Technically. But a lot of people who live on Long Island don't consider Brooklyn Long Island. A friend of mine from Long Island just said today she would rather live on Long Island than Brooklyn. It is very discombobulating.

Elliotte Friedman's 30 Thoughts are always a good read: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/30-thoughts-oilers-worse-nelson/
Reason I'm posting is the All-Star Game changes Stan Bowman proposed (the idea, not necessarily the exact details). 6 teams of 9 players, 4v4 round robin tournament, 6 minute games. Now that, I'd watch. Maybe reduce it to 3v3?
There's clearly some original thinking going on in the NHL. But sometimes I wonder if the league can't see the forest for the trees. Put your thinking caps on, guys (and gals), and make this game truly the fastest, best and most exciting to watch in the world.

Could that scene signal a changing of the leadership for the group?
Glenn too. I see the alliance of Carol and Rick in trouble here.
-
The way she hit Rick upside the head to knock him the f&$@ out added a lot to the show for me.
Absolutely. I think a lot of people had reached the point of, "Just shut the up already" with that guy.

Does anyone know what planet is to the right of the moon right now? Holy chit does it look amazing right now from Here in NJ.
Made me look. Venus. Pretty spectacular.

Tyler Myers not mentioned in article about great Kelowna Rockets defenseman..
That's really odd. Doesn't his picture accompany the article tease on the front page of the site?
I think the article you linked might be a sidebar or something. This one features Myers prominently: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=758763&navid=DL|NHL|home

Stop being so homophonobic.
Give him a break. He's spent time in the southern tier. It's not exactly a mosaic.

score by Nashville, 2-0
Yeah, bad decision by him.
What happened?
-
OK, so Paul Hamilton just said the Sabres are one shot away from being "back in the game." That can't be the definition of "back in the game." If you're down by one, you're already in the game. But are you "in the game" if you're down by two?
