  1. Gotta start reedumating these kids in winning sabres traditions Would rather have a real punk band start it off like the violent femmes , lest we end up with swords of 10,000 men or the Goo Goo Dolls
  2. TY right after I get done passing my MRI licensing exam... but sounds interesting maybe during a game.
  3. Nice, need to get back on ice myself, can't wait. Let's Go Buff-a-lo!
  4. Not so disappointed, but skeptical when I see someone quoting stats as implying as the reason a team is playing bad or good. Some of the newer stats are interesting and as you and I implied incomplete. Though not without some value... I would love, since I don't have the time, to have someone explain both the limitations as well as the positive correlations of some of the newer stats coming out.., ie to get a better sense of their overall value
  5. True but often misunderstood and misrepresented by both sides. I always want to know variables used, P values and sample sizes. Even then they must taken as a piece of a larger picture.
  6. Agree its "a" tool, but too often it is described as the be all end all. Analytics are only as good as the interpreter of their use. Once had a young lady gave me a bunch of stats on my special needs son's learning disabilities. When my wife and I asked what that meant, she couldn't tell us. I swear she was on the spectrum... Like I said, analytics are only as good as the interpreter and his/her ability to understand their limitations. Remember stat 101, stats don't determine causality only establish that when one variable moves another tends to move in a similar direction.
  7. Also really like the Erie canal theme, see if Bruce could do a swing version.
  8. Hey, have him contact my cousin Chad, does the soundtrack for Scandle, did the lead in for scrubs, played hockey growing up, produce Colin Hay's accoustic album, 3 songs on movie Garden State, sound track for Chasing Mavericks and more. Seriously though should be plenty of talent in Buffalo to do this.
  9. If they can get the ice girls to dress up like that and dance like that, I could go for a Bollywood theme!
  10. I like this version for singing: laurie berkner erie canal

  12. AP story by Tom Canavan and our own John Wawrow, Remember a great coach RIP

  14. Ah the memories, great way to pick up girls too. We would go to the midnite movie at the Key Theatre in Georgetown. I was at GW. We would show up at 11 to get our seats and dance to punk rock music and figure out who you were taking home that night. Talk about shooting fish in a barrel. We of course brought rice, toast, squirt bottles.., newspapers etc and laugh at the guy with no fing neck... Sigh good times. P.S. reading MRI in practice and starting to train. physics keeps the mind young....
  15. Agreed would rather see McCabe.
  16. Having been there during the debate working for the democratic leadership in the Senate, the feeling I remember was that everyone felt Cheney was misrepresenting the facts about Iraq, Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban was a bigger threat but Bush et al wanted payback for threatening his father and there was significant concern of the threat from Sadam and Iran focused on a weakened Sadam to the Iraqi control of its oil fields. Senatorial Dems couldn't politically justify getting in front of a pissed off american electorate from post 911 in wake of Admin PR campaign despite reservations expressed by many includings warnings and by doubts expressed Senator Paul Wellstone.
  17. Invisible... Man?
  18. Still one of my favorites and great little humodor in Stamford that carries 3 different labels as well as a number of styles of Ashton's
  19. Please be the guinea pig and let us know your thoughts, I'm in the exact same boat. I second this motion. It's good to know that all though I am a bull headed, stubborn, crotchety old fart, my disdain for 8.1 is not just because it is so different than XP but that it truly sucks. I am buying new laptop soon figure 10 or find refurb 7 but would luv details of turning off spware too
  20. Dude that is tame, spend a nite working in ER in Yonkers 1 evening, forgot how sheltered Amherst is... Or a day strolling around Capital in the 1980s, a lot of folks with psych issues that don't make itbto burbs. D welcome to the Muffy and Dave fan level... Seriously it could've been a lot worse.
  21. So if the northeast moon set on the west side would that mean the Sabres have won the Stanley Cup??
  22. So they are trading for Stafford then...
  23. Interesting article on NHL website analyzing depth of 2016 class. http://www.nhl.com/ice/m_news.htm?id=774344
  24. I smell an old fashion peasant revolt.
