There it is. You think you know these guys. How dedicated to the sport do you have to be to make it to the NHL and stay there for years?

You're failing at reading comprehension. I harbor no bitterness toward KO. I just feel no happiness for him. It doesn't make me a miserable person. Again I ask... How many here would have rejoiced in Evander Kane fulfilling a lifelong dream last night?

Also can we get the sound of sabres rattling interjected into the goal announcements, a la the shrieking panther in Florida?

No. I chided him for saying people who are not happy that Okposo won a Cup are bitter people. Unhappy people.

I am sorry I recommended Sven for your medication management needs. But how bout that taut Swedish torso?!

You and others should stop making personal attacks. Oh they're just bitter and unhappy people. It weakens your argument.

Why are we assuming that?

He did waste away. That can't be erased with a quick vaca to Florida. Players getting Cups like this is cheap.

And you would have been happy for Evander Kane?

I bet when Kyle was a boy he dreamt of being traded to a contender, spending very little time there and contributing very little, then getting handed the Cup.

Was referencing the half empty arena as the celebration wore on. Agree. Always thought it would be cool to pass the Cup into the crowd, but that's obv a recipe for someone getting hurt.

Who walks out with your team still on the ice with the Cup?

Oh Rick Dudley. Why not.

Will Lindy allow players to have their own goal songs?

Would be the first Evan with his name on the Cup. Saved that beauty for the final minutes.

This announcer has a lot of Dunleavy in him.

I thought it was pretty obvious. Gutsy call by the ref.

Hockey players are sneaky.

We need this thread so Sabres fans have something to talk about?

Absolutely.

May God protect me... Garlic powder? Angel hair pasta?

I saw garlic infused EVOO. I am waiting to hear back from my credit union to see if my GIEVOO loan is approved. It was $24 I think.

I agree on both counts. So more salt in the pasta water? And more in the sauce?

I know we've had food/cooking threads and discussions over the years. I wanted to resurrect the old thread to get some advice on making a basic but classic Italian pasta dish called aglio e olio. Figure I would just start a new thread and let it grow from here. What better way to start on a hockey board than with a pasta dish? I've made some version of aglio e olio (garlic and oil), but it never was that great. I watched videos and learned about adding the pasta water to create an emulsion with the EVOO. Still meh. Here is my starting point and let's see if we can make it actually taste good: * I thinly sliced four large cloves of garlic. A lot of the bunches at the store were sprouting but I picked one that wasn't. No idea if my choice was old or if old is good or bad. * I heated up a copious amount of pretty expensive EVOO (Botticelli), careful not to get the oil too hot. * I added the garlic along with a pinch of red pepper flakes. I then added a tablespoon of chopped jarred garlic. * I had Barilla bucatini pasta cooking in a large pot of lightly salted water. * I was watching to make sure the garlic didn't burn. I think I jumped the gun on adding the pasta water (about halfway through the pasta cooking time). The garlic wasn't even golden brown. I added one ladle then maybe that much later on. * I added fine black pepper, a small amount of salt and some dried parsley. The sauce started to look good. It got thicker. * I added the al dente pasta right from the pot to the pan and mixed it in and let it cook a few more minutes. The sauce reduced more. I mean, it was good. But it somehow lacked the garlic flavor I was looking for. The slices were big and I'd find some every third bite. With the pasta being so thick it just didn't come together cohesively. I ate all of it. The garlic finally came through about 1 a.m. Help me. This is missing something. And don't say anchovies.

So that was partly an attempt at humor, but honest to God why would anyone be married to Jeff Skinner at this point. I have to give yall Ras. I would not want to see Peterka go. Everyone else can take a hike. There's nothing to lose.
