Sort of bummed by the selections for Memorial Day on the tube, so I put on King of Queens on TVland.
Not sure if it was planned, but they have some Anne Meara episodes with Jerry Stiller. I'm assuming it's an employee more than earning their paycheck. Awesome.
A truly awesome show. I once told a fellow Seinfeld fanatic that I thought The King of Queens was as good as Seinfeld. It wasn't a well thought out opinion (go figure), and I heard her wrath. But I think it was close. I loved some of the tender, sweet endings that came out of nowhere.
Ghost, you're an old soul. Did you ever see any clips of Anne and Jerry as husband and wife comedy duo? I was going to look some up.

I'm just so tired of arena announcers screaming goal calls. (I'm coming from Anaheim's third, but this has been building within.) There was something to Milt. He was understated.
Buffalo goal, scored by number 7, Richard Martin. Assists number 11, Gilbert Perreault and number 14, Rene Robert. Martin, from Perreault and Robert. Time of the goal, 16:57.
It was simple, it was understated, and it was understood.
(And Dr. Smith, please call your answering service.)
Assists or assisted by?

Here are a few pictures of Gilbert with his idol Jean Beliveau, about 1970 or so.
Beliveau and Perreault even smoked together!
That’s like saying Don Draper could have been more successful if he didn’t smoke.
Yeah well, maybe he would have stopped a few more pucks.

This would be Troll Level One Million - Literally. I love this idea!
They have poutine at (716). It wasn't that great. Not poutine, which is awesome, but their version. It's fine though.
I had it first and you didn't love it. The idea, not the poutine.

If I'm Pegula I offer Disco Dan more than Babcock got. Just because he can.
That was my idea. One dollar more. Just to eff you everyone — and to boost Bylsma and shoot down the idea we "settled" for "second best." Do it, Terry. Do it. Race him!

But Toronto is just 90 minutes from Buffalo. For god's sake they lived in frickin' Detroit. Are you telling me Mrs.Babcock thought Buffalo was a step down? Yes, Toronto is all that and a bag of chips, but you'd think for what Mr.Babcock was going to be paid, plus the perks like Air Pegula and the Florida condo, she'd let her husband work for the better franchise.
Which is? Maybe Mike came to his own conclusion after thinking about Brendan Shanahan as president in Toronto vs. who exactly in Buffalo? Senior advisor Craig Patrick — the Pegulas — Joe Battista — and...?

I see no reason to not take Murray's word on this. His WGR interview and the Babcock Toronto presser fill in the holes rather completely. This is going to be a long-ass summer if we take every BS utterance seriously.
Babcock did say he couldn't make it work for his family.

Did I hear the latest scuttlebutt correctly that Babs was sold on the Sabres, but the ol' battleaxe nixed it?
Is that what we're calling JoeBa now?

Found the perfect Sabres intro song. Actually I thought it was perfect before because BFMV is awesome, but it fits even better now with the whole BabCOCK debacle. This song screams nothing but attitude!!! Sorry I can't attach the video straight from my phone, but here goes. If this song couldn't fire up the team, then I don't know what could. If I was stepping onto the ice hearing this, I would want to demolish whatever was in my way!! The beats of the drum are perfect for an entrance and lights could be timed perfectly to that. And they could also show players faces to the drum beat on the jumbotron over and over.
I could make this work great, so I'm sure some overpaid Sabres media dude with a Bachelors degree could do the same. I have this all figured out in my mind. I'm sure it sounds jacked up to you guys.
That would most assuredly frighten the little Chetsters and Mini-Muffins.

A little off the wall, but "Nebraska." Easily in my list of top 10 favorite movies. It's not a war movie. But on Memorial Day, its theme of memory — starting to lose it, maybe actually losing it, regaining it — would seem to fit. And there's a hilarious cemetery visit scene. It's really a sneaky funny movie. And it has Bob Odenkirk, who slays with one look into the backseat. If you have 'rents getting up there in years, it'll hit a spot.

I really wonder if the fact that coaches like Murray described (Nolan) being gone from the NHL are the reason we are getting the kind of hockey that everyone has been complaining about. When every play is analyzed down to the smallest detail, and every player is analyzed down to the smallest tendency, when everyone is coached to do the right thing on every play, doesn't it make sense that the only outcome left is the flukey goal?
Wow, great take.
-
I am glad I got to listen to that segment. Is it just my take, or did he insinuate that Harrington made stuff up? He said only four people knew the results of the meeting and none of them talked.
I am coming around to him.. albeit slowly... I think he needs to have a killer draft beyond Eichel though. He needs to bring in a real veteran for this team that has us all swooning. Last year's vets were caretakers. This year he must add a puzzle piece.
Can someone edify me on the "Sabres are liars" reference? Not sure I have the context for that.
Not the Sabres are liar, Babcock lied. That's what Adam Benigni of Channel 2 asked Babcock, if he lied to the Sabres. Remember the reports were that the Sabres felt they had a deal, and were "livid" when Babcock went to Turrano.

I use to have six feet of snow lining my driveway, the storm has passed, the snow is gone and the sun is shining this morning. Complaining about the storm after it has passed devalues the initial concerns. Why let past storms blind us from seeing the sun. Storm Clouds dissipate, a Cloud that doesn't is actually just pollution which was never the intent. If the conditions dictate the Storm Cloud will form again, until then, enjoy the sun. :flirt:
Typical meteorologist. Calling for sun. They've never right. Listen, the rain has stopped coming down in buckets, but it's still sprinkling. There might be some brightening to the West — or it might be that weird color the sky gets before a tornado. The Sabres are one step above an expansion team. They have some good young players, no coach, a first-time GM and a relatively new owner who's still trying to learn how to do this. I'd put away the shades for now.

Apparently, Babcock and Shanahan had it planned out all along: http://www.downgoesbrown.com/2015/05/mike-babcocks-job-interview-transcript.html
Just can't. Tried. Can't. I remembered that this dude is the dude who went on WGR near the end of the tank and said he, and everyone else in hockey, was rooting against the Sabres finishing 30th. He and Wysh, a little bit goes a long way.

Team Storm Cloud emergency meeting in Secure Bunker 18! They got DeLuca!
Code Avocado! I repeat! Code Avocado!

The interview this past Tuesday with my boss's former colleague went well and I think there is mutual interest. There are a lot of logistical and financial details to work out, but it's a good possibility. Then Wed. morning the company I'd had a phone interview with a few weeks ago finally called to set up an in-person interview! That's not until June 3rd, and I'm not sure I want that job, but it's good to have options. Thank God; this job search has been soul-crushing the last several weeks.
Babcock someone. Anyone. I just wanted the excuse to use Babcock as a verb.

I have to ask, I just listened to the interview and I'm not sure what reference to Nolan you are talking about?
He was talking about how prepared he expects the coaching candidates to be and how he expects them to come into the interview with sophisticated plans. He contrasted that with "old school" coaches who say might explain their approach by saying something to the effect, "we're going to work hard and forecheck."
-
This would hold water if Murray himself didn't already admit he himself contributed to the communication issues with Nolan.
GO SABRES!!!
Fair point.
-
I only have been critical when he opens his mouth and says something. I don't say anything when he doesn't. Hardly, every step of the way for a while now.
I question his integrity.
The apparent shot at Nolan was gratuitous. Not that a hockey GM has to be Mr. Congeniality, very few have been. But it certainly argues against "GM killer" Ted Nolan receiving all the fault for the poor relationship between the two of them.

If I post it it's going to be from a legitimate source.
I know, but it wasn't even clear it was a Tweet.

Joe Battista as Jennifer Smith!
This thread is on fire!
He had me going. Joe is certainly a looker, but "hot piece of trim." That's when I knew something was up.

Were there "layers of people" around the Pegulas when they personally took MB on a tour?
Clearly not.
This is a non issue that the News loves to bring up now and again.
Was it an issue for Babcock? Don't you think he might have asked, "Anywho, why did LaFontaine leave?" Mike would want to know if his new boss, Murray, was going to be around long-term, or if the chaos might repeat itself. The conventional wisdom (take that for what it's worth) was that LaFontaine butted heads with some of Pegula's braintrust, if not TPegs himself, and lost the power struggle.

He is mentioned constantantly and especially in the coaching threads.
I have never seen so much discussion and stuff taken as truth than the past few months (murray pouting over not getting mcdavid, murray complaining about Babcock, this crap). When sources are continuously wrong and there is evidence after evidence that the news is manipulating crap in relation to murray and the sabres front office, they have no credibility. Just like if you cry wolf about conspiracy crap regarding the same thing over and over, you lose credibility.
Three of the first four entries are jokes. That's all I need to see. (And that's about the same percentage a bunch of you are batting of late with your posts.)

If coaching an Original Six team is so important, why was Buffalo in the mix?
"(Because) Terry Pegula is a superstar."

I don't think anyone said that. "Drive" and smoking seem to be separate issues in this poster's mind.
My Perreault memory is through the eyes of my dad, who wasn't really a big hockey fan. We were at Game 4 of the series with the Flyers in 1978. Perreault one-timed a pass and scored. My dad marveled at how Perreault had his stick lifted and cocked and timed everything so perfectly. A different kind of Perreault goal for sure.
Edit: I just found the boxscore for that game, and of course Perreault didn't score. I could have sworn it was that game!
