Those things do not give probable cause for a search.

But it makes sense. Players are only as good as their potential allows them to be. I don't see any reason to believe there is anything left in the tank for Risto. He was a better player earlier in his career than Chara was, but he hasn't really improved much since his second full season. I don't see why I should give him any benefit of the doubt given the way his development has trended to this point. He hit his ceiling at 21 and he's been there ever since.

Chara continued to develop because he's a better hockey player. Risto not being Chara is exactly why there's no reason to assume he's got any more development potential left in him.

The Islanders certainly had no idea. But he was good by the time he left Ottawa and he knew it. Risto, on the other hand, seems to be a bigger question mark at the moment. We know he produces a reasonable amount of points, but his defensive game is more Hal Gill than Chara. I'm not sure where that leaves him developmentally. He needs to do the opposite of Chara: become a better contributor to the defense relative to his teammates.

+1 for the monopod. If you're shooting digital you don't need quite as much stability as you would shooting slow film.

Consider this a positive: the more wildlife they eat, the less you have to spend on food.

Is anyone here saying it is?

I don't remember much about Chara during that time, but the consensus seems to be that he was the opposite of Risto: good defensively, but late in developing his offensive game. I mean, he was really good by the time he left Ottawa in free agency.

Chara comparisons make me cringe. We don't even have fancy stats that go back far enough to really look at what Chara was at 25. His Corsi numbers are really darn good at 30+, but we don't have any idea what he looked like before that since the league didn't track that kinda stuff. Risto has never had numbers like Chara. If he suddenly turns a corner on that then fine, but the comparison always irks me.

Ah, see maybe that's what the confusion is. I can picture the fork at Ted's, so maybe that's what they're using to accomplish some kind of scoring?

He was definitely better this year. I don't know what it means though. Let's talk again when we have a forward corps that belongs in the NHL.

I'll have to watch more closely the next time I'm at Ted's, I don't remember them cutting the dogs. But you gotta let the Sahlen's crisp up more. The Zweigle's red hots weren't cooked enough either. Not sure who this reviewer is but I question their qualifications as a cased meats connoisseur.

Man they didn't even cook those Sahlen's right. You gotta grill em until they start popping open on their own, none of this cutting business like the package says.

Hell yeah I want it. It's funny, back in college I played around with an ME Super but I really never learned how to shoot it well. Ended up selling it to a U of R student. So I decided back in the fall that I was going to mess with film again and bought another ME Super on eBay. I mentioned it on twitter and one of my followers said they had an old K1000 laying around they'd send me for free, so that's how I ended up with this one. And I haven't shot the ME Super at all because I like the K1000 so much more lol I've also have a vintage Soviet era LOMO LC-A but I have my doubts about the film advance on it so I only put one roll through it so far. If it comes back a mess then I'll have to do some work on that little plastic box.

I thought I read that it was unregistered, but either way I don't see it as particularly consequential. It was probably just in the glove box or something.

Love it. I've been out on the Genesee Greenway trails a lot lately shooting my old Pentax K1000. I've been seeing lots of snakes so I decided to pick up some more lenses on eBay to see if I can capture them better, grabbed a 75-150 F/4 zoom and a 100mm F/4 macro. A couple more rolls of film and I'll be able to send a bunch out for processing. Then I can put my negative scanner back to work. At some point I'm going to develop film myself but I'm not shooting enough to make that investment yet. It's really nice to get out on those trails. They're mostly empty which means I get to practice a sort of mindfulness as I allow my senses to heighten in a peaceful environment.

Yeah, Phase 1 is go, which looks like good news for people in construction and retail.

Yeah, I don't expect a refund or anything, but a voucher or a gift card to buy merch would be nice.

I hope they're going to do something for those of us with unusable single game tickets.

You can take the southerner out of the south, but you can't take the south out of the southerner. Seems like driving around with an unregistered firearm in the car is just the thing to do down there regardless of race, vocation, or economic status.

Really buying into the #BillsMafia culture eh?

They're going to end up giving us all cancer or something and the anti-vaxxers are going to become a new religion.

Thank god. Let's just get this over with.

I have come to accept that Allen and the Bills will live and die by Josh's competitive nature and risk taking. It might not be pretty sometimes, but it's fun, and that's good enough for me. No one could ever accuse him of just punching the time clock.

Oh I'm watching. I've seen this in documentaries, but it's fun watching the whole match.
