I don't know, but there's a face off in the corner.

I watched the last five minutes of the show again. I didn't pick up on some basic cues that were pointed out in here. So the cannibals definitely knew Bob. I'm not sure I can see the scenario where he was bit on the other leg and could somehow do something about it. He is tied up, sitting down and only has 1.5 legs now. Should be interesting to see where they go with that and the preacher.
What were the cues that they knew each other before Terminus?

I'm gonna start sending him love notes. He, more than anyone else, is capable of single handedly delivering us all of McEichel.
No, our greatest hope is that Good Guy Tavares visits some sick people at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on their next trip to Dallas.
(Am I going to Hell? I'm pretty sure I am. At least Ghost will also be there to keep me company.)

And then Drury pops it into the net, just as Lindy drew it up.
I can't tell what Nolan's system is, or whether he has one, but when this team is talented again, it's going to need one.
Drusie, take the draw to the sideboards. Zoobsie, you go stagger into the corner and take down two Rangers (but don't get a penalty). Drusie, grab the puck, pass it out front, then go around the other side of the net and wait for the sharp angle rebound off Lundqvist. Oh yeah, don't forget to shoot it between Van's legs and score.

Uncle Smell, uhmmm, how hairy was his chest? And was it concave?

Richly deserved.
Not my favorite Sabre ever (hardly), but, nonetheless, the greatest hockey player ever to wear the home team's uniform.
Uncle Smell, would you please please plllleeeeaaaase tell the story about how you went to Dom's house that time and saw him in a terry cloth robe?????? But this time tell us what really happened at the end?

I guess I missed the whole Bob backstory somehow. And did they show Bob's leg missing? I kind of thought it was a scare tactic. I will admit to not paying rapt attention to that scene.
Alrighty, upon further review, the leg is clearly missing and there's a freakin' foot on the barbie! I blame this on the Sabres. I have learned to not see while watching horrors.

Isn't that what a system is?
Strategy vs. tactics? I'm sure Ted doesn't coach by saying, "Go out there and freestyle, do what feels right." There has to be a overall philosophy. But maybe he just doesn't believe in the Xs and Os. I've never believed hockey could be drawn up on a whiteboard. I always laughed at Lindy with 13 seconds to go and the faceoff in the offensive zone, down by one, furiously scribbling away. Hockey is throwing your loaded paint brush into a fan in front of a canvas, not paint by numbers.

Meditation on the Id of Ted Nolan:
Part of me would like to believe that Ted Nolan's approach to coaching is a way to walk through the modern world. Don't over-analyze, just do. Don't get crippled by imposed order, just react. Don't think too much, play in the moment. In terms of a philosophy, Ted Nolan is pure ID. Be instinctive, as life is uncoordinated thrust.
But what I really suspect is that any success that Nolan may have had, or has had up until now, has come from this approach, but it also contains the seeds of his own destruction.
Meh. He was coach of the year in Buffalo and got fired. He got the woebegone Islanders into the playoffs and got fired as season later over "philosophical differences" with Snow. Ted's not perfect, but I don't think it's a matter of people eventually finding out he can't coach hockey.
Serious question. I know we have heard over and over that Ted has no system or that his system is just go go go and rah rah rah, and I've even read it on the internet so it must be true, but, do we know if it actually is? I mean, what do they do at practice, wind sprints and group hugs?
I would think that they have to run plays and practice the PP. Isn't that a system?
The narrative is growing legs. This will not be the last time you question it. Good luck.

Bread and circuses.
It's right out of the Larry Quinn Handbook 1995-1996. Legends of the Aud. The team sucked under Ted Nolan then too.
By the way, you must be my brother from another mother.
Got my tickets. Going with my Brother and Parents. Very excited to see this happen.
He did play one season with the cross swords, should it be red/black, or Blue/Gold?
Now you can be sad for me. It should be Red Wing red. Dom said as much when he was traded there.

Pretty disappointed at the developments at the end. I don't know why this show has to always have the group hunkered down somewhere, with villains lurking outside. The farm, the prison, the boxcar. I was thrilled that they got out of the boxcar so quickly and appeared to be moving on to Washington. I was hoping that Gareth, although clearly not killed by Rick's shot, would perish in the prison (edit: at Terminus) and not become the next Governor.
The one thing I'm intrigued by is whether Rick's leadership will be questioned over not going back to Terminus and finishing off the group there, and over deciding to stay at the church. The red headed alpha male certainly warned about the consequences. Rick vs. Dude would be much better than Rick vs. Gareth.
-
The only thing that caught my eye is that he returned his cart after loading his car. Definitely too soft to play in this league.
So you followed him to the parking lot?
-
I'd think he was bitten on the leg they didn't eat. They'd have to be smart enough to actually see a bite on the leg as they're cutting it off and eating it, right? Anyway, I'm more curious about Gareth's speech to Bob. It sure did sound like they knew Bob well before any of this.
And I'm officially sick of Tyreese's whiny guy act now. The guy he claimed to have killed was there with Gareth. I really wish it had been him instead of Bob because his current storyline sucks. Let's take this cool huge guy with a hammer and make him a ######.
I thought Gareth was referring to the talk they had at the slaughterhouse at the beginning of the first episode.
I don't know. I don't think this explanation passes. He was limping quite a bit, and he was staring back emotionally before appearing to breakdown just prior to the kidnapping. Maybe he was bitten in the leg they ate, and now he's going to live through it.
Has anyone ever lasted that long without getting violently ill/turning?

X., shouldn't the coach be able to rip his team in the press? Seems like an age-old part of the handbook. I don't know who taught him his lesson, but, yeah, I think it's wrong if it came from "upstairs" in the front office. As someone suggested, though, maybe the league office didn't like it.
And what's with Ted reporting to Tim after every game? Is that commonplace? Tim also played a pretty big hand in the selection of assistant coaches, no? Do they also frisk Teddy as he leaves the building to make sure he's not pilfering white-out and staples?
-
Was Pegula there? I thought we would have seen a lot more (as in one) shots of him in his suite cheering the game Robert Kraft style.
Terry doesn't cheer, or even watch. He drinks wine and schmoozes.
-
Anyone else having problems with the board today? I keep getting the "oops, something went wrong…" message.
Usually does that at times when the Bills are playing. Too many people on TBD, I would guess.

Great post Numie.

Honoring Van today. Howard Simon, Paul Hamilton, Mark Kelso and some other dude gave wonderful tributes. I went hunting for Van's call of Norwood's kick, which was mentioned for its brilliant capturing of details and the mood of a moment. Couldn't immediately find it, but I found this YouTube video of a little boy watching the infamous kick. You'll laugh, you'll cry. "Why am I supposed to pray?"

Some coaches are great teachers, some coaches are great strategists, some coaches are great improvisers, some coaches create disciplined systems, some coaches are great motivators.
Motivation gets us 2 points and 8 goals in 6 games. I'm open to someone good at the other 4.
Maybe giving Ted a little short shrift? Also, it's funny to see you be so reactionary when you never seemed to give a second thought to even the notion of firing Lindy — after 16 years.

To pull a Ted Black, if this season was an NFL season, there would be 5 minutes left in the first quarter of the second game. You don't fire your football coach at that point. You might wait until halftime though.

2014 Team Latvia v. 2014 Sabres. Both teams get Girgensons. Who wins?
Hard work wins when talent doesn't work hard. Also, "feed a cold and starve a fever," and "put hair around it." I've got more.

I contend there was no other way to rebuild that team. The young talent was struggling, and the better talent was not elite. Deadline deals for picks and the raping of Garth were the only options. Deadline deals are almost by definition players for picks and prospects.
Not to put words in weave's mouth, but I suspect he might have been referring to a "soft rebuild" that could have taken place during the summer of 2011 if Terry had been smart enough to clean house. A change on the fly, if you will.
Complete smokescreen by Murray that's why he's a genius. I still think this is the main reason why LaFontaine left. I think he wanted to keep some players and the rest of the organization was already sold on the total rebuild.
Who knows? Maybe everyone who has left, Ruff and Regier and LaFontaine, all quit for the same reason. Ted Talk of the Tank started while Ruff was still here, no? As for Regier, that's a still a head-scratcher for me. What was he doing wrong, Terry?

I am going with myself.

Good Morning Ted Nolan, so, how does it feel to be coaching a team of players that can't score a goal to save your job?
Great turn of phrase.

Sabres get McDavid. It becomes obvious how good he is. Rick gets better. Feels great. Gets a second wind. Does RJ send Dunleavy over the Falls without a barrel?
