Hasek was before your time? :huh:
Is it considered losing your stick if you threw it down so you could grab the puck with your waffle hand?
-
He'll have time to bulk up before he makes the Sabres. And if we don't pick him, he's a weak little ######.
How important are pullups to playing hockey anyway? Maybe he can't do one because his thighs and ass are the size of a cement truck and just as difficult to move.
I just don't know what this means, if anything.

I'm convinced more and more that Lex Luthor (1978) had the right idea.
-
I'll take Yolandi Visser (Die Antwoord) over both,… her and the music.
-
She's like a black Nicki Minaj.
-
WOW. I don't want him anymore.
I don't know. If he's this good without proper training, imagine how good he'll be with a strength and conditioning coach. Just a thought.
-
Kane is just really f'n good all the time. So it makes sense that he is also good in clutch time.
-
Gotta be a regional subscriber article. Maybe they picked it up from another source.
Or it was submitted by someone from Wegman's. When I call up the page, the formatting is all screwed up and it shows up to the right with all the ads.

Boy,… this Kane fella…

This series is the first time I've really watched Hossa play. He's a much more complete player then I ever remember him being with the Thrashers and the Pens. Anyone know what the hell Crawford was thinking on that wrap around chance?? Oduya might have just saved their season on that pk
The replay showed a stick on his left knee not letting him across.
-
Game 6 of the WCF's and I hear crickets in this thread, anybody watching?
yep.
Hossa is a really good hockey player. I never realized just how good he was, and fast.
HowTF did he miss that wraparound?!
-
Yes. Thank you. This.
And agreed. We Millenials largely don't have the tools to deal with it. But I think one affect will be that profit, while still being critical, will be just one of several drivers of decisions for this generation.
See above, it's the relationship between community and self. That's what I'm trying to get at. Lots of this first internet generation looks at the community as the self. And as I wrote, for better or for worse.
We are becoming the Borg,… or are you to young to get even that reference?
-
I'm talking past myself here. Millenials, as a whole, do not have a stronger sense of community with their neighbors. It's a different relationship between their self interests and the interests of the community. If anything I think we have less sense of civic engagement as a public service as previous generations have. We don't serve others because it's a good thing to do. We have a broader sense of community. And we engage with it in more aspects of our lives, like business.
And none of this is based on my experience. I had an... odd... Childhood. This is my analysis of the research on Millenials. I'm just barely in that group. Right on the line in 1982.
And no, Taro, I'm not going to teach you how to use emoticons.
I would think that you Millenials also have less of a sense of self than those of us that are older. I see it in my nieces and nephews. Almost everything they do, almost on a minute by minute basis, they do in terms of how it will be received by those that they post it to immediately following. It's not very healthy IMHO.
Is that what you mean?

If you don't want someone flying into your goalie, don't knock the skate they are balancing on. Honestly to me it looked entirely like Emelin (i think) fault. Also Tokarski played fantastically, especially last night, i'm not sure Price's presence would have changed much. Tokarski did enough for his team mates to trust him.
If you only get 18 shots on goal, you probably aren't going to win
It's funny how it's his trailing leg that get's hit, and he somehow even gets a shot off afterward, yet it's Emelin's fault he hit the goalie.

I did not move back for personal economic reasons.
I didn't even move to NYC for personal economic reasons.
-
However well-intentioned, this is youthful, naive silliness. Human beings will act like human beings -- i.e. they will respond to economic incentives. If the economic incentives are there to develop and grow businesses, that is what will happen, and job creation will follow as a natural result. If the economic incentives are absent -- well, WNYers know how that story goes.
Naive silliness, meet NYC cynicism, where most of those people who are only motivated by economic incentives live. I just don't buy into the "Can't win, don't try" mentality.

I'm convinced that if the Great Wall of China was being built today, instead of adding ground up rice to the bricks to give them strength, they would use Cheez-its.

The guy WAS a really good player for us. I hope he enjoys his recent retirement.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't talking about the player.

Chicago is NYC and Buffalo put in a blender.
NY is nice....the biggest thing is you have everything you need within 3 blocks. So many choices.
I prefer Toronto. It is a sanitized NYC. You can also live in a relative suburb for a decent price and not have a 90 minute commute. All the cultures, plenty of arts, and tons of pockets of Elmwood/Village areas.
I've never been to Chicago but am pretty sure I would like it.
When I lived in NYC I didn't have a car. I wonder if any of the other cities mentioned have as much to offer to the carless. FTR, I really liked Seattle.

Swamp, all too often you post something that sounds just like what I'm thinking. We need to drink beers together. Seriously,
I'll try this. Hard for me to do. I'm not sure there is much about me that is noteworthy.
1. Related to Swamp's admission that he has never taken a chance. Just about a month ago I interviewed with an Industrial psychologist (whatever the ###### that is) as part of a series of interviews for a job I wanted badly. Mr. Ind. Psy. told me that I was afraid of taking chances. Challenged me to come up with a work scenario where I took a risk and lost. I couldn't name one. It was the most humbling interview moment I have ever had. He was absolutely correct. I may be the most risk averse person I know.
I'd like to believe that it's just that I'm smart enough to always change the parameters of the Kobayashi Maru so that I always succeed and there is no risk, but,... I'm probably just a big p####y.
I'll definitely have a some beers. I'll make sure it's the weekend.
10. I have never, not once, used a urinal
I read this crazy book in college called My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist. It wasn't really about anything, but in one little snippet, he writes about whenever he is standing at a urinal and gets blocked up, he just imagines himself pissing all over the guy next to him. He describes it in great detail. I have used this technique ever since and it has never fail to produce results.

I was thinking the same thing. Once you get away from the tourist areas, it's like most big cities. The biggest difference is with the number of people (and the massive subway system), stuff that would appeal to a small percentage of people can make a go of it because a small percentage of 10M is a lot.
It's not like most big cities. It's better. If I ever won the lottery, in addition to my 1000 acre ranch would be an appt in the city.

1. I regularly lie to people about their tatoos. I don't think they're awesome, cool, or sweet. In fact, I think 99.9% of them are stupid.
This is fantastic.

As I tried to relate in a previous post, it's not even about shielding my kid. I just plain and simple want no part of that scene. I find it embarrassing that our tailgate scene looks like the setting of a post-apocalyptic movie after the game. It's just........ irresponsible. I see the lots after the game and it's like a surrealistic painting depicting the 7 deadly sins., And I'm a pretty tolerant fellow. But my God man, do we really need to leave all that acreage looking like a bombed out scene, complete with bodies and fires?
Like I said earlier, I love it all. I completely understand why people don't, but I just thinks it's hilarious. Two games ago I watched 6 to 10 guys just beating the tar out of each other. From about 6 feet away, it was like the cartoon fight dust cloud with arms and legs popping out from time to time. A cop, walking toward it slowly, but announcing his presence, was saying that it had better break up before he got there because he really didn't want to take anyone to jail today. It brook up and they all scattered. I'm sorry, that's just funny and I'm glad I saw it.
The bolded really made me laugh, though.

1. Family, music, hockey. The first is always the first. The next two change order at different times.
2. The first time I ever played hockey on ice was on a frozen lake in Alaska, I was my birthday and Super Bowl Sunday.
3. During a dark time in my life, hearing Mark Knopfler ask me by name for more guitar in is monitors is a memory I look back on fondly.
4. The single greatest moment of peace I have ever had in my life was on an island in Georgian Bay. I really need to get back there.
5. I once played on stage at Carnegie Hall. In the time between the morning rehearsal and the evening performance, I was at Hooters across the street, watching a Bills game.
6. It might appear differently to others, but in my mind, I have never taken a chance in my life.
7. Saw a guy kill himself at Niagara Falls. Even though we couldn't have done anything to help him had I reacted faster, the fact that I hesitated at all changed me forever.
8. Sometimes I feel like a lesbian trapped in a man's body, Luckily, I'm gay for my wife.
9. I really hope that I get the opportunity to move back to WNY.
10. I'd be hard pressed to think of anything better than the family safely tucked in bed, a fire in the fireplace, a fresh Manhattan, it's snowing outside and a Sabres game is just about to start.
