Lent for Taro. I'm guessing Thorny is busy producing OF content.

Lewis' presser is on YouTube. It was an awful performance as he used possession and control interchangeably.

Many discussions. Maybe SDS can shed some light on what he's after here. After reams of arguing back and forth, and my evolving opinion, on the face of it, it was a simple call once you got to see the memo language. Which, for me, was 2009, thanks to Budd Bailey. "An attacking player maintains control of the puck but skates into the crease before the puck enters the crease and shoots the puck into the net — goal is allowed." Hull never maintained control (propelling the puck with the stick). IMHO any understanding of the call starts with an objective description of exactly what happened.

Did he do it more than once though?

That's the one I meant to post! I always get my NFL coaches memes mixed up.

If only a thread had laid it all out...

I hope this gets played. Live, ideally.

Are we talking about a giraffe erection here? Is it me?

You, me and MoG, we three kings. I thought something was happening here this year, until it didn't. Yep. I wake up every morning feeling good about myself. Then I have my opening night at home against the Habs moment: I look in the mirror.

How did it go? Sorry for the delayed reply...

We love you.

No, it didn't. Even Erieites know about the kummelick, as you went on to amply demonstrate. And YOU definitely know what I'm talkin' bout.

I wonder who appreciated Bryson months, maybe even a year ago and was then told he was trash? Some of you are way too influenced by a little hot streak of winning. Jacob to be appreciated last crummy March as well.

One more year, no. But to paraphrase Terry, if I had a nickel to my name, I'd bet this offseason's version of Rick deciding his future will be Rick and the Sabres talking about his role in the franchise, which will include him calling a game here and there. (Also, it's worth noting that Jiggs retired years ago from the Isles and surely got a huge sendoff, and they just brought him out of mothballs when the current voice was unavailable. Well, what's gonna happen if Dan gets laryngitis next season and has to miss a couple? You know where Rick's going, top shelf!) To be clear, I liked this post for how it ended. Even I can't get behind the first sentence. lol

It was obvious this season that when he had plenty of time off and rest, he took probably 10 years off his broadcasting age.

And closing out my thoughts on spank banks, after watching Krebs do his thing in the lockerroom before the game, I had to wonder: exactly how much grade A kummelwick is he pulling down in the Buffalo metro area?

Did I ever mention I closely followed Mike into the Sabres Store before a game (or maybe it was just through the atrium). I was close enough to notice a not-insignificant amount of cat/pet? hair on his nicely-aged sweater. I can ensure you that image is quickly brought to bear when necessary.

Maybe if they finally make it four I'll get a little excited. (But probably only if the Mule Kiss becomes/stays a thing.)

I'll continue to chafe against this idea that one Sabres team can be compared directly to the next. We don't know how Rakru would do with this iteration. *ducks The kids call it a Spank Bank. What was he supposed to do when John was his best player? #keepyournarrativesstraight

Using this definition, I think the list starts and ends with Kyle Jesper Okposo. Dahlin is too young to be loved. Lusted, yes. Longevity matters here as well. Gus should be loved for being one of our Andy Dufresnes (has crawled through 10 years of the most vile excrement imaginable). I doubt he is loved, though. Tage is getting close. But see also: Dahlin.

Lame-o.

Terry is the suffering. Terry is the curse. Terry makes the Terror.
