I'm sending you my therapy bills. That image won't be easy to forget.

The loss of resale value would have to be factored into any reparation, no?
-
I've just always called them and heard others refer to them as the same. Either way the point is clear.
Also - adidas isn't capitalized. It's a proper noun so it SHOULD be, but the company uses lower case letters when they represent themselves.
Ahhh, didn't know that about adidas.

By the way, I love the image of Eleven going rogue inside the arena to get information for SabreSpace. I can see him in janitor's garb, aimlessly moving a broom around while studying the scene.
-
No one's getting fired? Crap.

You can clearly see the tape being pulled back and to the left.
You're on a roll today.

Can I start a new sabrespace conspiracy claiming that he is actually blind?
haha. It is an interesting photo to ponder. The Pegulas and Cliff are go-getters, so they had sliced through the tape and were back in the car before the political types had figured out how scissors work. Has anyone really studied how the tape was cut? I find it hard to believe Cliff (of all people) would be left to stand there and pretend to cut the tape. But where did he cut the tape? Jeez, this is maddening. I look forward to any and all theories.

I'll sign it. Although it gives me the willies to join in on #pegulagroupthink, I do like the idea of one blue for the Bills and Sabres. Pretty cool idea.
Hoss, the wording "Adelphia Sabres" isn't that important, but I've always thought it was an interesting historical thing to debate — that the Sabres switched to black and red because they were Adelphia colors. I've never believed it. Rigas was investing in the team while the Aud was closing in 1996 and the new jersey was in the works, but he didn't own the team yet. He had clout but not operational control. I don't know for sure, but I bet the color scheme was just something they thought would sell.
Oh yeah, capitalize Adidas.

Who is the guy at the end cutting air?
And if smell had a pair of those giant scissors, he'd "accidentally" cut the red dress, wouldn't he?
Know Your Sabre Villains! Come one. Cliff Benson. Annnnnddd... I'm banned.

Damn allergies.
-
:lol:
He's in midseason form, innit?
-
ooooohhhh. How does it feel to be a loser?
How do you think I feel? I just watched an aging Mickey Mantle strike out.
-
I feel bad for Smell, trying to zoom in on a low resolution image like that.

Actually, I think finding someone else's DNA is what has gotten a bunch of people released. I'd be shocked if you can find one instance where someone was released solely because no DNA was found.
Just for the sake of argument, if some guy was in prison for rape and for whatever reason his defense didn't have the results of a DNA swab, and after conviction it was revealed that the swab did not detect his DNA, don't you think he'd be released?
Eleven, call your answering service. Eleven...
-
Not too often. Finding someone else's DNA has.
Isn't finding someone else's DNA the same as not finding another person's DNA?
Smell, it probably has nothing to do with this case. But they didn't find Kane's DNA. It's important.
-
"Not finding DNA" has gotten a bunch of people released from prison.

Really good insight here.
I've never sensed an employment agenda. As for changing how the game is played, I think X said it. Analytics seem to value, above all else, things we want to see in the game.
But he claims more shots on goal and fewer goals in the last 15 years. Analytics values shots at the net because they're proxies for possession.
-
Thanks! (I'm really not sure what I confirmed for you that is new, analytics is only really a snapshot of what you are watching, using different filters of course).
Do you consider the analytics crowd to be only observers or do you think they have an agenda? Seems to me the agenda is 1. Get bloggers jobs with teams and 2. Change how the game is played.
-
Every analytic these days has a bias toward shots on goal. The bias is toward more shots.
There are more shots on goal than 15 years ago, but fewer goals.
You said it all. We can close the thread and the debate.
-
I'm pretty sure I'm with you on this one.
Wow, and I really pulled that one out of my ass. But seriously, I just don't see how analytics will help to turn the game into what a lot of us crave... more space, more creativity, more goals, more speed, maybe more mistakes, definitely more fun.
I just don't understand how you, or anyone else, lay the blame for this at the feet of analytics. Coaches have been focusing on defensive, limited-time hockey in order to minimize the effects of the skill gap between teams for as long as I've been a fan. Analytics may increase the efficiency of the process, but it's hardly new.
I'm not blaming analytics exclusively by any means. It'll make existing problems worse. "Build a better mousetrap." Sucks to be the mouse.

Pegula will eventually learn. He did with the sabres.
What's he gonna do, fire Whaley and tank for the top pick?
-
Boring, huh? Like the past 15 years of no scoring? When I was 8 years old, 2 guys, TWO! Scored 76 goals! My son will never get to experience anything like that thanks to Jacques Lemaire ruining hockey and the NHL doing nothing about it.
Here's the thing though. If hockey is going to take almost an industrial approach to making systems more efficient, to squeeze every last drop of productivity out of its human capital (I read the WSJ, I am smart), do you think it's going to lead to more or less scoring? It's gotta be less IMO. Also IMO analytics could be the death of this sport.
-
F*ck this. The defense needs to do something here to get this game back under control.
Guess I'm going to go back to spending this Sunday like I've spent every Sunday of my life: doing other things with the Bills on in the background. What a joke.
It's a good start. Then eventually you turn it off and you're free.

Interesting stuff, mjd. If Eichel and/or other rookies/youngsters aren't socially integrating, I'd say it's up to the older players to break the ice a little bit.
Eichel won't have any trouble making friends. I think the skate away from teammates with the head down is going to become a familiar sight to us. It's how he focuses. He came out for the opening faceoff of the scrimmage back in July and did it. It was very dramatic and it got a huge round reaction from the crowd, but it's not him being dramatic, I don't think.
Anyone going to tomorrow's game?
