Exactly. That was TEXTBOOK interference on Thompson, it went on for nearly five seconds, and no call.

SO we're not doing interference anymore?

Again, against any other team. Carolina's transition game is just way too fast and precise.

***** ... Off (him not you)

I'm thinking it's not the ribs, or else he wouldn't have done that particular celebratory move.

THOMPSON

I'd agree against almost any other team, but Carolina is just too fast in transition for these Sabres. They've got to peel back.

Aho just got away with one...

He is doing a nice job substituting for Thompson on the top line. Even I can acknowledge that. Whether I want him back next year, well, I'll leave that to the thread dedicated to that.

I don't love Rod Brind'Amour or the extra effort that goes into typing his stupid name. But I love the system his team plays. That transition game is incredible. And yes, it is very similar to Ruff's system, and yes, it relies upon better goaltending than what we have seen for most of this year. But the goaltending has arrived, and if I see Granato pulling his vanilla ***** again next year, I'm going to want him fired.

Why does it look like a magazine?

I've never been thrilled with it, if that's what you're asking.

From your fingers to God's eyes....

In before PA says something that gets the thread locked. (Yes, PA, we all know it's a money grab. Yes, all teams do it. Terry is not meddling with the ticket system and Laura is not in charge of concession prices.)

USGA and St. Andrews are about to revise guidelines for all of it, so beware spending money right now. (And I don't even follow golf--just news.)

Why? Why do I do this?

So this was a bad time (about 10 into the third) to tune in, yeah?

I don't know--I haven't read it and probably won't be able to anytime soon.

Let me guess who's bankrolling this bs lawsuit...

His ceiling is Jake McCabe. And I like McCabe, but I wouldn't have protected him in an expansion draft.

I want to know what happens if he is accidentally picked for the tri-wizard tournament next fall. This should be a separate thread from the other seventeen Levi threads we have.

Paging @inkman

Did he not smoke them long enough or is it the sauce he uses?

There is Varlamov but I'm really on the fence regarding his personal stuff. Although, he did win an abuse-of-process suit against his alleged victim, so maybe benefit of the doubt should prevail.

That's six minutes. Two for wearing #17, two for contradicting me, and two more just because. Oh, and two more for watching a face-off. Eight minutes. Sorry.
