So now that it looks like the non-MFT Sabres are going to be good enough to not be in the McDavid sweepstakes, are they going to go back to the old lottery system?

Since some people never change them, I'd rather have something that doesn't annoy me every time I have to look at it.

Understood. The tangential premise brought up in the Ehrhoff thread was that it was folly to criticize Pegula and suggest he was overactive and over-reaching in his early years as an owner. Somehow, he had just performed some noble act of fan amnesia by paying the last $18 million on a buyout of Ehrhoff, or what would equate to $450 for a person with a net worth of $100,000. So I just figured, why not figure out how much these mistakes cost the fans?
I totally agree. I'd have more fun listening to polka on the radio with great auntie than going to a hockey game with her. We all have our bonds and values.
I find the premise of this thread interesting, although I think the bolded can still be true. While Pegula's "over-reaching" was going on, there wasn't a single fan the wasn't over the moon about the fact that we finally had an owner who could make these deals happen. We were finally in on every free agent. It was so "Un-Buffalo." It wasn't until those deals started to not pan out that the criticisms began.
It would be disingenuous of me to criticize a move that I wanted to happen, only because we later find that it didn't work out.

Nonsense.
Beat me to it.
Does this mean all of us "New Leftees" are going to have to register on some list?
JK. Good choice. Less regulation is the true path to growth. :D

I like the number of threads. I like the tangents. On this busy weekend, it got a little messy, then got cleaned up, not unlike my house. Seems like the system worked to me.

From what I heard him say off camera one time, I can't stand him. I think he only cares about the owners and views the players as cattle. His NHL has less scoring, less fighting, and fewer and fewer teams in it at the end. I would never boo him, but that is only because he has made it so that I will never be able to afford going to a Stanley Cup clinching game.

woah...I picked the wrong weekend to not log in...
Me too. Just now caught up and kinda thinking it was the right weekend to not log in.

Coulter's in my club, right between Lundqvist and Peca
What club is that, your list of man crushes? :lol:

Ann Coulter has really bad breath,… probably from throwing up every second meal.

There's a pretty good Youtube vortex that I find myself circling down every once in a while of downhill mountain biking, but this is my favorite.

I love all the extra safety features the Chileans put into their courses.

im sure you will be real pi$$ed in 5 years and the Sabres dominate the league.
That'll be right around the time when our new core matures, right?
Where have we heard that before?
I just want to add that just the fact that we even have a 2015 draft thread makes we want to drink bleach.

I'm not sure about out of state licences but I'm pretty damned sure the 1 yr licences have changed so they are now 1 yr from the date of purchase. Its worth a phone call to look into it.I
Is that right? That would be very cool. When you print it actually has both sets of dates on it making it very confusing.

The website to renew your NYS fishing license may be the worst website I have ever had to use. I'm still not sure if I even have one for this year. Also, they moved the year start to September 1. They probably figure by cutting the season in half they will get people to buy more of them.
At least they lowered the out of state fee from $70 to $50.

Rum gives me the schitz.

I'll take the SOB thank you.

It's okay it deserves to be posted again, I also love these guys:

I don't know why, but I kept expecting Andy Samberg to start rapping over that.

In my experience, Makers is a gateway whisky. Smooth and sweet. Much better than what the mostly uninitiated believe is whisky (Jack, Jameson, Wild Turkey, and, yuck, Fireball). Very easy to get other people introduced to better/real whisky with it; it's how I got my start. Cheap enough to mix with other things if you had to.
Macallan's usually the next step. Most of my lady friends (special or not) enjoy Macallan 12 as much as I do, but my favorites are the Islays: Lagavulin 16, Ardbeg Uigeadalifdaffwueaellla, etc.
I'm not sure I would call Makers smooth. I like the flavor but actually find it to be very harsh.

Woodford reserve and blanton's are my go to bourbons. Can drink them neat all night long, and one or both are usually available in most bars. If not, rethink where you are spending your time.
My go to bourbon is tequila. For the money, Camarena is really good. I can sip it all day.
Sorry. I know this is the whisk(e)y thread. Wasn't sure if there was a general spirits thread.

I think that speaks well of your sister. I'm not sure the average kid looks at it that way. It sets some up for a hard landing when they reach their teens and have to socially fly on their own. I'm all for praising hard work and accomplishment. I just remember school being a timeclock you punched from year to year. Have fun with your friends, do your work, go home and play outside....then go bonkers over the summer and repeat.
It isn't the kids' fault.
Dude. When did you turn 70? I went to my MUD dance, had graduations from kindergarten, 6th, 9th, and 12th grades. It's no different than it ever has been. And the day I look up to china for their work/social ethic is the day I'm getting my new liver from some poor guy who is in jail because he accidentally typed "free speech" into his Baidu search engine.

I admit that I know absolutely zero about all the draftees this year (and every year), but why is it that whenever I hear someone try and describe Reinhart, whenever they use the word "smart", it just seems like they are searching for something nice to say about him?
-
It's relevant in that it might demonstrate how things can get pretty loosey goosey after midnight. And I highly doubt any of the Buffalo conspiracy theorists would argue the league wanted to help the Sabres win that game.
No. It's irrelevant because those two goals were scored under a different set of rules. Unless I'm remembering this incorrectly, they actually changed the wording at some point from (paraphrasing here) "not allowing the goalie to do his business in the crease" to (paraphrasing here, too) "any body part in the crease".
Again, I don't really think they did it on purpose, but after they F'd up they had to cover up.

While this has been a pretty good day, I'm still going to temper my enthusiasm. Too many times in the past 4 years have we been excited that we won the off-season.
