  1. A thought I had is maybe Toney lined up on the ball as it was spotted by the ref (the blue line) and then when the center set up maybe the center moved the ball back? At which point everyone else lined up? I dunno, trying to give Toney some benefit of the doubt.
  2. This is related to what is or is not .500 "Deluca 500" Or "no room on the Sabres for a 40 goal scorer" ?
  3. Whoops, i had renewed my team on the site but didn't see these messages - oh well my fault
  4. I don't have cable and use an over the air antennae for ABC and local stations.
  5. According to this the game is being televised nationally on ABC: https://abc.com/news/insider/watch-nfl-monday-night-football-on-abc-the-abc-app-espn-see-schedule It also states the game will also be on ESPN+ for week 1
  6. I cancelled my prior subscript and allowed the end date to pass. I was offered to re-subscribe at $19.99 for one year - which I did. I then cancelled the subscript so it would not auto renew in 2024 - they then offered me a reduced price for the 2024 renewal ($24). Which I also accepted. So i got 24 months for $44 and I just have to remember to cancel the subscript prior to auto renewal in summer of 2025. Which is worth it in my opinion.
  7. Grosek for Gilmour, Dumont and a draft pick I was in my early teensr, but my memory of this was that Grosek was very up and down and was an often criticized player. And they got DOUG GILMOUR!!! (from the milk commercials) and the top prospect from The Hockey News 98 season preview magazine!!! Insane
  8. 5. Maxim Strbak, RHD, SIOUX FALLS (USHL) April 13, 2005 | 6′ 1″ | 198 pounds Tier: Middle of the lineup player Skating: NHL average Puck skills: Below NHL average Hockey sense: NHL average Compete: High-end Player comparable: Ben Chiarot Background: Strbak hasn’t put up big offensive numbers in club play between the USHL and Finland’s junior league over the last two seasons. On the international stage he’s been leaned on though. Strbak played a major role on Slovakia’s world junior team, including a 22-minute performance against Canada in the quarterfinals that went to overtime. He was a leading player for Slovakia’s U18 team this season, which went to the semifinals at the worlds. Strbak was a top-four defenseman on the Slovakia team that won silver at the 2021 Hlinka Gretzky. He made Slovakia’s 2022 world junior team as a 16-year-old and was a big part of the club that got Slovakia promoted at the U18 level last spring. He is committed to Michigan State University. Analysis: Strbak is a defense-first defenseman. He’s a tall, right shot who is mobile and makes a lot of stops due to his reach, feet, physicality and excellent compete level. He brings a strong effort every night, and coaches tend to lean on him in tough situations. I don’t see him as a legit scorer and puck-mover in the NHL, but he’s good enough with the puck, can skate pucks up, and can make enough plays to survive at higher levels. I think he will be a second or third pair defenseman in the NHL depending on the level of offense he brings. https://theathletic.com/4647999/2023/06/28/nhl-draft-2023-best-available-players-day-2/
  9. Top available per Athletic are Dragicevic Nelson Strbak Fisker Molgaad
  10. 4. Anton Wahlberg, C, MALMO JR. (SWEDEN-JR.) July 4, 2005 | 6′ 3″ | 192 pounds Tier: Middle of the lineup player Skating: NHL average Puck skills: NHL average Hockey sense: Below NHL average Compete: Above NHL average Player comparable: Pierre Engvall Background: Wahlberg was an all situations player for Malmo’s J20 team and a top-six forward for Sweden’s U18 team. He got called up to Malmo late in the season where he played a notable role, including in their relegation-round games. Analysis: Wahlberg’s raw toolkit instantly stand out when you watch. He’s a 6-foot-3 forward who can move very well for his size and has legit offensive skills. The way he can pull pucks by opposing defensemen while moving at a fast pace looks like an NHL forward. He plays a direct style and with his frame plus speed can get to the net very well. I don’t think he’s overly physical, but he has some bite in him, gets to the net, and coaches tend to lean on him. Wahlberg’s biggest issue is a lack of vision and so-so decision making with the puck. Wahlberg played center in the J20 level but played wing with Sweden’s U18 team and in the SHL. If he can score just somewhat as a pro, with his size and speed he will have an NHL career as a middle six forward, whether down the middle or the wing, and I think he’s trending that way. https://theathletic.com/4647999/2023/06/28/nhl-draft-2023-best-available-players-day-2/
  11. streaming on ESPN+ also
  12. I had this issue in my browser as well, especially when clicking a link to a story from twitter or somewhere else. I figured out I had to click the "open in app" button - which is always logged in as me.
  13. I second this - I generally go without a live TV provider. But when there is something I would like to watch that I need it for (Bills game on ESPN or the NBA playoffs on TNT) I have signup for Sling for a month.
  14. I've been a subscriber since day one always re-upping with deals like this. I love their NFL draft coverage. I use their site to follow the Cleveland Guardians and the MLB in general. I also use their fantasy baseball info at draft time and throughout the season. And I read their Bills and Sabres coverage with Buscaglia and Fairburn. I also like Pronman's NHL prospects coverage. I hope it sticks around and none of that is affected because I really enjoy The Athletic.
  15. What's strange is I read that entire tweet as a defense of Harrington until he says "he was awful"
  16. Ottawa's '23 first would be more valuable than Buffalo's 2023 currently, right?
  17. Agreed, I think they've had some success bringing in mid-range/short term types. I would prefer Daquan Jones, Tim Settle, Jordan Phillips and one other of that type than sign Oliver to a bloated contract long term.
  18. My memory of him is as the Celtics coach in the early nineties. Mustache.
  19. How many snakes do you get for $1.2M? It read to me that part of the deal was Renick was going to manage the snakes, but was murdered, leading to excessive costs.
  20. Expected Buffalo and The Instigator Podcast (not related to Andrew Peters and Craig Rivet) & After the Whistle (the Peters and Rivet show)
