  1. Good move... watched Subban over the years... he runs hot and cold... deal is Sabres didnt give up too much for him and between Anderson, Tokarski and Subban Sabres solidify goaltending while younguns develop. Gotta say I like move.
  2. Thought even after you saw him pick up his confidence play hard on forecheck, carry the puck up the ice and be hard to knock off the puck... he is a big man and seems to know how to use his body well. Wow along with Mitts coming back, Quinn, Peterka, Krebs and one more young AHL surprise... plus Samuelson and Power next year maybe Sabres should consider just drafting goalies after first 2 rounds
  3. Why did Granato put such small guys out against Seattle big line... got out muscled... wth
  4. He doesnt suck just his gaffs are so glaring
  5. Thinking Dhalin needs to skate gassers each day for the next week
  6. Not sure whether to laugh or cry with envy On a jet plane... so far away from here... so far away...
  7. Wash rinse repeat... still tons better than last year... Sabres only stink... they arent a piling heap of garbage
  8. Sabres looking for a goaltender... duh...
  9. They can short distances... I often see them in trees to avoid predators... They don't fly far or high, but they can get up in the air.
  10. Happy Thanksgiving... back at work... tired but Happy over Bills win and lots of Turkey
  11. He made some incredible saves to keep them in the game... hmmm hope he grows
  12. Who is Savoie's goalie Hauser and has he been drafted... get him
  13. Too many injuries up the middle on D and not enough depth... they got blown off the line by another good line and good running back... And I think signing Sanders was a mistake, not that he isn't talented, but not enough Balls to go around and it is hurting chemistry. Would have been better investing in a running back and signing Fisher for O line.
  14. Wow what a cluster... sounds like the local owner has some financial issues but what too much of a jerk to fess up instead blaming everyone else and treating his players like cattle... this isn't going to end well.
  15. Fair enough except that imo it is easier to find guys smaller maybe a matter of degrees... I wonder if there is a cut off in difference both on offense and defense in that equation... is 10 lbs and 2 inches? or 20 lbs and 4 inches and when does size have diminishing returns based on ice size and the ability of a smaller player to get under and outleverage a bigger guy all things being equal at a playoff level.
  16. Yes and my point remains... it made blanket conclusions without explaining how other factors were held constant... Even the stats they used were simplistic and not at all conclusive...
  17. I am not sure how the things like speed and talent.. hand eye coordination, stick handling and moxie are held constant... Not sure you could measure those things accurately with size. Gotta think size does matter, but not enough big guys have the talent of some of the speedy shifty small guys with heart. If a bigger guy has all those things like Mario and Jagr than sure size matters... but those kind of guys are hard to find and gotta think pure hockey talent matters most, however you quantify it.
  18. Yeh but your feces were not needed tonight... they crapped their own bed... Sabres could start their own garden without you.
  19. Well that sucked... Maybe not on D... but forwards are either young or JAGs on fourth line and a few sprinkled in up top... Can't wait til Ollie, Tuch and Mitts comeback... Next year Power, Quinn, Peterka and Krebs start contributing. Till then... it is enjoyable most nights to watch the hustle.
  20. At times... I got stronger but didnt gain weight... was eating protein shakes etc but couldnt gain much... I probably had a body fat percentage of less 2%. One summer as a courier in DC heat dropped to 137 til it cooled down and I could gain some back... this was when I was 20. Normal times I could stay between 165-170 but that was my max... now almost 60 I weigh just short of 200 but I am not exercising the way I used to.
  21. BTW and old photographer friend of mine Pete Fogel, was the booking agent at The Bitter End in SoHo and Steely Dan's photographer... he occasionally posts old shots of the group on facebook... cool stuff love the music
  22. 6 you guys gave me mine during my cancer battle Schoenfeld
  23. Some of late teens early 20s but i didnt hit 180 til after 30. I am just saying these guys play hockey almost everyday... for some high metabolism guys it is difficult to put on weight... no you absoluted that everyone that age could put on weight and gain bulk... Im just saying for some teens and young adults its not so easy... rather eating that much pretty much sucked and I wasnt the only one. Yeh for some guys it wasnt a big deal and they could gain bulk but you painted a broad brush...
