  1. The contention is so analytically flawed that I must conclude that you're just trying to wind people up.

    I don't think so. Be consistent. If you want good health for McDavid, God's gift to hockey, then you must want it all the time, even as he tries to return from injury to beat the Sabres in the final. It's mean to think otherwise. Cold. Cruel. Classless.

  2. If that scenario were to come to pass, that would be a whole 'nother ball of wax. I don't need or want the kid out of the game now  in anticipation of that. Nor should anyone. Or, stated more pithily:

    You're being a hypocrite. You can't wring your hands over an injury now, and then think differently about it in June 2019.

  3. Did someone take over PA's account?

     

    Aren't who the one who is still crying about Vanek getting "taken out" against Boston a decade ago?

    I'm not advocating for violence against McDavid. I don't see what's controversial about what I'm saying. Fans aren't allowed to root against the opposition? Really? Real fans don't want McDavid to be a flop? Are you not rooting for Eichel to be better? This idea that Sabres fans have to worship McDavid and hope for the very best for him seems like a sign that we're so beaten down we don't even consider ourselves part of the league anymore. Think Hawks fans want health and wellness for McDavid so he can be the next great one and help supplant the Chicago dynasty? I hope the tibia is next to go. Why should I care? The league doesn't care about offense and talent, why should I?

    Did you really just say that?  REALLY?  You've got to be kidding me.  That's the most distasteful thing I can imagine someone saying about this situation.  No class at all.

    It's hockey. There's little requirement to be classy. Mike Schopp said it best when some people said fans cheering for the opposition last season was classless. "What class? It's a hockey arena." (paraphrase)

  4. Hey guys,

     

    Second post, or is it the third (ha), using my phone.

     

    Can you all see the triangle formed by Jupiter, Venus and Mars in the early morning Southwest sky?

    No, but I did notice a few weeks ago that just before sunrise in the east, they lined up as if on the edge of a circle, with a crescent moon above them.

  5. Because if you love hockey, you want that kid out there doing his thing. He is positively breathtaking.

     

    Seriously. If you feel that way? Time for some reflection.

    I reflected last night. Then I slept like a baby. Tell me you didn't wish for Troy Aikman to slip on a banana peel before those Super Bowls.

     

    It's a harsh business. As usual, I'm ahead of the curve. The Sabres and the Oilers meet in the finals in the three years. McDavid is day to day with a whatever. I'm sure this board would be pulling for Connor's return to full health, so they can watch his magnificent glory unfold before our very eyes.

    This might be a first but...+1.  I hope he heals quickly with no lingering effects. Like Jack, he seems like a good person in addition to being a great hockey player.  We need more of these not less.

    Seems like a good person? We don't know anything about these guys, really.

  6. You keep telling yourself that....

    I just read that Libby is 100% pumpkin. As in pumpkin, pumpkin. I'd be pretty disappointed if Lakeshore isn't as well.

     

    Anyway, the pies turned out OK. I was a little short on the crust because I wanted to use the 10-inch deep dish pans I have. The crust ended up thinner than usual, and I left them in a few minutes too long. A touch beyond golden brown. The effect is nice, though. Nice and brown and crispy. Yes, I've already cut into one. Will be better tomorrow when the custard sets up.

  7. Have you ever made pumpkin pie using actual pumpkin?  Roast pie pumpkins (don't use jackolantern pumpkins, they are less sweet and more stringy) just like you would squash (until very tender) and use that as the filling base instead of canned.  You might not go back to canned.

     

    Orrrr........ dirty little secret is canned pumpkin is mostly squash anyway.  Hubbard squash makes amazing filling.

    Yeah I'll get right on that. :)

     

    Hmmm, the can says "pumpkin." I'd be pretty disappointed to find out it's not all pumpkin, although it sounds like it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Still...

  8. I did not imply that was a concern of mine, nor did I imply that was a motivation for my posting an objection to that line of talk.

     

    Tread lightly when you reference my kids, dear old e-friend.

    My apologies. But you brought up having a daughter approaching college age in the context of being offended by stripper talk. It was just a joke.

  9. I'm making pumpkin pies after while. It'll suck having to smell them and wait until tomorrow until they're cool and set up to eat them. Lakeshore Pumpkin of course. Evaporated milk, eggs, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice. Light on the sugar and heavy on the spice. I like them more spicy and less sweet. I make my own crust too. I'll make a fine wife someday.

  10. Shave the goalie pads and actually call hooking.

     

     

    I certainly wouldn't make nets bigger however. 

    Won't that mess up all the nutscaping photos?

     

     

    Oh... pads.

    To the original post: The NHL is currently on pace to set a record for lowest number of goals per game.

     

    They've gotta get this fixed. Or at least tweaked.

    All time record? I didn't realize it was this bad.
