Maybe this is the year our much-vaunted depth starts paying dividends.

This game is CRAZY.

Wow. Philly is making us look good!

Maybe this is the long-awaited breakout year for Mitt's scoring goals.

Maybe we're looking at a 9-7 game. That would be exciting!

Well, that didn't take long.

Just had Jay's pizza. Three of them to be exact: a Neapolitan cheese and pepperoni, their 'Nduja, and the Detroit cheese and pepperoni. I'm really disappointed because the two Neapolitans don't match the hype and the Detroit is criminally small. For $60 I could have got 2x more pizza that is more tasty and/or more interesting. This is not to say they were bad or poorly executed pizzas. They're okay. The Detroit, actually, is quite good but waaaaaaayyy overpriced for what you get. The Neapolitan crust is a let down, especially considering the narrative behind it. The physical aspects of it are fine: fluffy, not thick and not thin, chars okay - but it lacks character, has no flavor and is too chewy. For the price and hype it is totally a let down. They upcharge for the 'Nduja but barely provide any meat; a very cheap presentation here masquerading as a culinary artistic dollup. If you like overpaying for small artisan pizzas that are marginally interesting then Jay's is worth the try. If you can wait until the hype train passes by and the prices come down to Earth then I recommend waiting until then. And whichever organization ranked them eighth or 13th in the USA, you can take their rankings and toss them in the big pile of worthless reviews and lists.

The entire Dadonov thing is ridiculous. If Cap Friendly has NMC details for individual players surely Vegas has to share some negligence somehow in that trade.

If there ever was a candidate for a trade it is VO.

Who?

They sent Cooley back I believe, so that leaves us Levi and UPL. Clearly, UPL has to start. I think this is a real, early-season test for the boys. This game means something: .500 after 10, which would be an acceptable place to be. Equally important is that if they can take the last game and apply their play in it to this game. If so, their trajectory will be acceptable, too.

Benson being sent back?

He still put himself out of position way too much - mostly overplaying the initial save. The major differences were some puck luck and that the team in front of him, finally, had him covered. Not saying he hasn't improved, but he looked like a controlled disaster out there with support as opposed to simply a disaster with no support. Maybe the most raw Dom-esque game style we've seen from a big goalie. And I'm not comparing him to Dom in a broad sense, just the flip-flopping chaotic style he seemed to have adopted yesterday. If he keeps it up and it works, maybe we could compare him a little bit to Dom but that's a long way off.

We have a goalie and coaching problem. Effectively the same issues exist from last season. Why do we have a goalie in the rotation who sucks at break-aways when the team is prone to defensive breakdowns that allow break-aways?

And now the end of the world is nigh.

It's a crazy scheme that just might work: TAKE OVER THE AIRWAVES! The audacious act of having wall-to-wall hockey on a Tuesday night on every TV channel they can muster will make for a media marketing blitz that will be the envy of executive suites the world over! Bettamn isn't just a marketing genius - he's insane!

I made some a couple of months ago and made sure the pan had plenty of sauce and that seemed to work as well. I don't make them often enough; they are deceptively simple and ultimately the kind of dish that requires practice to get just right.

My grandmother made a much tangier, acidic sauce not unlike a can of stewed or diced tomatoes flavored a little and cooked for a while to render it into a sauce. She also flavored the filler, but I think it was simply with salt and pepper and may have browned the meat over a high heat to bring out its flavor. And your complaint of the softness is spot on. Again, my grandmother's were tender. I think the Nook did a fine job with that but they have that tomato soup-esque sauce which nearly wrecks it. Sto Lat has the texture wrong (too firm) but their sauce is good.

I think McDermott's leash is a lot longer right now than Meatball's because he at least has a record of some success. Also, the Bills are banged up and not very deep, the latter of which is not McDermott's responsibiity. Meatballs needs to prove he has the team's attention and can manage a game competently. I am not seeing evidence of either this season.

Either we have a bunch of lazy players who can not for the life of them comprehend simple instructions to keep the game simple and go to the net or we have a coaching staff who despite the mythology built up around their capability can not for the life of them get through to the players. I am being to agree with @SDS in his assessment of #19. That kid really seems to bring nothing to each game.

Recently been to Sto Lat and The Polish Nook looking to find a good Polish place. Each place has their redeeming value: Sto Lat having more flavor overall while the Nook by far is bang-for-the-buck. Nothing tops my babcia's cooking back in the day. As it happens her gołąbki remains unsurpassed. Been a while since I've been to the Polish Villa and there's Gadawski's in the Falls I have yet to visit. There's Pott's Deli in Cheektovegas that I have never been to but their sauce for their gołąbki looks too much like the Nook's (and which I don't care for). The restaurants tend to make the filling bland. I would be interested to read @Wyldnwoody44 describe the gołąbki he had in Poland.

Standing in the oranges, or were they The Oranges, was dangerous.

You would think, but the processing power and networking hardware are generally lacking compared to a laptop or proper mini computer. Depending on your circumstances, you may not notice, but it does contribute to stream acquisition and stability not to mention the user experience. Those using VPNs, a bunch of sites and/or Kodi for their content, or whose WIFI isn't great will especially benefit from the better processing power and network hardware.

I did not get the sense the JJP line was a lesser line than the other two offensive lines. They were equally as dangerous.

Now it's time for Mexican BBQ! Not just Levi, but the entire teams is probably breathing a sigh of relief.
