I don't think the fans pushed him out. The team did.

The dark rye is almost too easy to drink

Bounty hunters, we don't need their scum.

A timely leak to send fans descending into panic for the weekend ?

I would never! To do so would require: 1. Putting down my 5.75oz cup of wine 2. Elevating my heart rate enough to pump blood to my extremities 3. Disrupting the family friendly atmosphere These are, of course, cardinal sins for any Sabres fan and would result in a lifetime ban from the arena.

Conversely, this would never happen at a Sabres game because you would already have been thrown out for talking too loudly.

I agree with you. The Sabres have nothing to lose by allowing Nylander to continue to develop. He's got two years left on his ELC. So that's how much time he has left in this org to make the jump.

I hope he plays. He's a goddamn legend.

I'm just going to say it: I'm fine with giving up defensive depth for forward talent. Being able to clear the zone doesn't mean anything if you can't do anything with the puck outside your own blue line. I'd rather have a forward corps that is dangerous enough to open up the ice for our mediocre defense, even if it's just guys sneaking behind the defense on hail mary stretch passes. How many chances did other teams have against us this past season picking up outlet passes in the neutral zone because our forward corps weren't a threat outside of the Eichel line? TEAM defense can improve even if we suffer a loss at the defensive position.

I'm willing to beat this horse too, mostly because I think the evidence is clear that Sam needs to be on his own line driving production. I'm envisioning a scenario where he and Mitts basically rotate in and out depending on who is having the better night. Center by committee is better than relegating Sam to the wing. Either way, he needs his own line.

Agreed. If they're going to drink wine and not cheer then they might as well get their money's worth.

Chet and Muffy go to Court

Why?

I'm pretty sure they intend to do both of those things. What's your point?

If you missed the point any harder you'd fall off the earth and float into space.

And automakers still haven't figured out a good way to use the communication buses to diagnose problems with the electronics. Things really need to take another step.

Yup, this is stuff that will take time to figure out. But the possibilities are almost endless, and you've got some very good use cases right there.

Let's just forget about Enzo Sauce.

Good for them. How are they going to stop it?

The player and puck tracking stuff was featured in the All Star Game this year and I thought it worked really well. I've often felt that the future of analyzing hockey is figuring out how players move around the ice and tracking scoring event sequences. Being able to use tracking data to model game situations for coaching purposes is going to be a lot more useful than watching tape. It's also going to be a useful tool for player evaluation for contract purposes. If you can model how players interact then it'll be much easier to tell if a player's success is self-driven or dependent on teammates.

***** tell me about it *resists ranting*
