Just some pregame chatter fodder, not worthy of its own thread. But Kane going to NYC on Sunday night to see the Mets game made me think. If he gets held up in New York with some unforeseen travel difficulty and misses practice the next morning in Buffalo, does he get suspended? How would it be different than the Zadorov situation? It was a very chilly night — did he sit out in the elements? If so, young or not, that's not necessarily something you want one of your players doing less than 12 hours before a practice. How does this play with his teammates? Why do I imagine Mark Pysyk at home in a snuggy, drinking cocoa and watching game film?

From Wikipedia:
Ice hockey[edit]The video goal judge reviews replays of disputed goals. As the referee does not have access to television monitors, the video goal judge's decision in disputed goals is taken as final. In the NHL, goals may only be reviewed in the following situations: puck crossing the goal line completely and before time expired, puck in the net prior to goal frame being dislodged, puck being directed into the net by hand or foot, puck deflected into the net off an official, and puck deflected into the goal by a high stick (stick above the goal) by an attacking player. All NHL goals are subject to review, and although most arenas have a video goal judge, often officials in the Situation Room (also known as the "War Room") at the NHL office in Toronto make the final decision. See Official (ice hockey) for more details.
I didn't see the play, but I took the description to mean Kessel knocked the puck down with a high stick and then scored on a separate shot.

$20 on StubHub gets you a ticket.
Now 17.

Don't count on it. There is no law so powerful as supply and demand.
I'm not Milton Friedman, but if tix are 20 bucks on StubHub, where's the demand? Maybe STHs are holding onto their seats. That, though, would apparently reduce supply and increase demand, leading to higher prices.

That's some high level BS right there.
I don't see how a high stick before a legal goal is reviewable or challengeable.

Wow, a professional sports league ignoring/bending their own replay rules to benefit one team over another and/or to cover up their own incompetence?
That never happens!
Hopefully the Panthers make a bunch of noise about that to the league (not that it will do any good). The on ice officials literally ignored them and did what they could to ensure that there was no review.
He can't challenge a high stick though?

Until proven otherwise, that's Floyd Smith.
This is me at the end of one of my 6-month cycles between haircuts.
John Oliver-ish.

Boom
The cone is a good idea. They can't bite themselves while watching the Sabres.
That's great!

Thanks sizzle. Good tip.

It's tough to achieve. I don't think there exists a photo of me that captures the essence correctly. That said, I will provide additional beard cred.
Dollars to donuts, there's a split pea in that stache somewhere.

Inspiration: qwk's black kitty.
This is Gus. He's 12, weighs 25 pounds and has diabetes. He's really not ferocious, but he has people he doesn't like, and those people fear him.

OK, after making fun of Ink and others earlier for struggling to post a pic, now I realize I can't do it.

Great nickname, too. Glengarry.

This should just be the Beards of Sabrespace thread.
Can we talk about Noureen?

Nothing irks you more than being in a crowded waiting room, the appointments are running late, and some sales rep saunters in to meet the doc.

That was happening long before Obama Care
Sorry. I wasn't clear. The reporting requirement is part of the Affordable Care Act.

At daybreak today, Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Regulus lined up on almost a perfect semicircle in the eastern sky. Then on the way back from Erie later in the morning on I-86, I saw a bald eagle sitting on the trunk of a dead tree just a few yards off the highway. Incredible sights. What a great fall day.

This is kind of like when Kevin Spacey looks at the camera in House of Cards. Breaking the fourth wall, I think it's called. I don't know. I guess I've always thought that such things should be left to the imagination or shouldn't even apply — after all, it's just a bunch of mind- by the virtual representations of our intellects. It's not the people we see in these pics. Whooaaaaaa... now I'm seeing stars and halos around lights.
That said, I think I look like the love child of Pierre McGuire, former press secretary Ari Fleischer, NBA commissioner Adam Silver and former USA men's volleyball coach Hugh McCutcheon. I was mistaken — twice! — for Jim Kelly while wearing a Bills hat in my younger days. I was also told on numerous occasions back in the day that I looked like Balki from Perfect Strangers. Oh to have hair again. If ya'll are confused, I have done my job well.

They did a segment on how pharma reps try and get doctors to write scripts for their "product." Free lunches, payments in exchange for the docs becoming "thought leaders" who sell to other docs, travel, speaking engagements and the like. They put up a link to a government site that publishes the data pharma is required to submit regarding these relationships. I found out one doctor here got lunches almost every other day last year to the tune of almost $3k. A local surgeon hauled in over $24,000. Thanks Obama(care)!

That's some Scotty Hartnell action right thur. I've never wanted to tousle someone's hair more than right now.

The paper bag illustration was done because you weren't there and d4rk was hopeless without you.
I believe I ended up wearing the paper bag part of the night so d4rk wasn't lost forever.
No. Just no. Stop it, PA.

Looking over some random numbers, the Sabres are a significantly improved team through their first 5 games. Corsi is way up, time of possession is way up, and shots against are way way way down. Statistically speaking we are under producing according to what should be our baseline. I would expect that we see a return to what we actually are sometime in the next couple weeks. The team will finally build chemistry and players will start to slide into their long term roles. The return on investment is coming.
I'm pretty sure the statheads will say that five games is much too small a sample size to say what we are. I think what you're suggesting is that if we keep up these stats, the wins have to come.

Ok. wasn't there something like an 8 goal loss to Ottawa in there somewhere too?
10-4 loss at home. They also got pounded twice in Ottawa in the early going. The second of those losses, in mid-November, marked the beginning of 36-7-5 stretch. Incredible.

Strange as it may be, studies show that texting while talking on the phone and eating a breakfast sandwich actually increases the drivers awareness of his surroundings in the ICU.
Fixed.

I seem to remember the 05-06 Sabres starting out extremely poorly. No, I'm not saying this team can or will reach those heights....yet. Just trying to lend some perspective.
Yes and no. They won six of eight to start then lost seven of nine. Just before Thanksgiving they went on a torrid tear that lasted through March.

If an impression, a very good one of Wilford. If not, when did Wilford ever say "the diabeetus"?
lolz at the last one. Honest now, how many more cats are there?
