You're being evasive and screwing around (I have asked FOUR times now), and I don't have time for it. I know what my standards are for that club, and if it was an article from the NY Post or WSJ, it wouldn't have gotten you banned. It likely was something from some weird source with some weird conspiracy theory. If you want to discuss it seriously, you're welcome to do so--over PM. I'm not doing this game-playing here.
The subject matter was Ilhan Omar. The newspaper was the Guardian.

I'm sure I KNEW, which is different than presently KNOWING. It likely was years ago; you likely deserved it. Again, answer my question, please. Most of the people removed were removed because of conspiracy theories--did you post one?
No. I posted a link to a newspaper article. There was some discussion. You then threw me out. The thread was deleted. What are these conspiracy theories you speak of?

Again: Did you post some weird conspiracy theory that got you kicked out?
I'm far from certain that it's the answer, but it is interesting.
Again: You removed me. Do you not know why?

It was a response to your question, so what, specifically, are you talking about? Did you post some weird conspiracy theory that got you kicked out?
You removed me. Why?

There's so much I want to say about this but it's probably not the right place for it.
I'll just say that I think we can do better than Anglo-American style unregulated capitalism. Rhine capitalism and distributism are interesting to me.
Henry Ford knew that he needed to pay his line workers enough that they could afford a new car. I'm not so sure that's the way anymore.
Oh, and if the aliens ever find us, we're dinner.
Where do I go to get some of this unregulated capitalism? There are 2 million federal employees, and tens of thousands of them work at the umpteen regulatory agencies. Lots of occupational licensing that are barriers to entry. Lots of jobs only open to union membership. More stuff in our economy is regulated than not.

We know your biases, bud. It's way, WAAAYYY too late to try to conceal them through very transparent questions like this.
Ah-gain, as for years, I ask you to step away.
And when will you step away from banning people from the political club?

A goal should count no matter how it goes into the net, including kicked in and high stick. Both take skill and are too subjective to call properly.
Also 3-2-1 point system; 3 for regulation win, 2 for OT/shootout win, 1 for OT/shootout loss.
Part 1: No.
Part 2: Yes, the current system is statistically invalid. Why are some hockey games worth 3 points and others only 2?

Levi is too young to be #1
He is old enough to buy booze, own a firearm, and enter into a legally binding contract. His age is his age, it is his ability that matters.

There is no way that anyone, not even Levi himself, can know for sure how he will hold up to the rigors of an NHL season. UPL has been either just below average or terrible since his one phenomenal season in Juniors and Comrie has been a career minor leaguer. Sure, given the unpredictability of goaltenders anyone of them could be the guy but if you are serious about contending this year, you can’t go into the season with this trio.
we should not spend significant assets getting another one.

How our goalie group is seen by the Sabre organization may be a lot different than how it is seen by the majority of the fans. As @Standing Room Smoking Cigspointed out, Vegas is playing for the Cup with Adin Hill as their goalie. He was their fourth goalie taking over for a long list of goalies who were hurt. Is Lehner's contract reflecting much value, especially compared to the production that Hill is giving the team?
As @LGR4GMpointed out in a prior post, the Sabres, in their end of season run, did play a tighter style of game, and were effective doing so. I'm not arguing that our roster as it stands is complete. It's obvious that additions need to be made on the blueline. Considering our cap space and abundance of assets, draft picks and prospects, addressing that weakness is very achievable this offseason.
I'm open to upgrading the goalie position. But I don't see it as dire as most others make it out to be. (And I'm not even sure that the GM does either.) Good team defense is as much about the play of the players in front of the goalie as it is about the goalie in the net. That is what Vegas is demonstrating.

Pretty sure OEL had a serious injury and never really recovered. He is an aging JAG and does not fit our needs.

Carter Hart does not move the needle. Get Helge Grans instead.

I don't really follow a recipe. I make this one off of gut feeling lol. Rough numbers are 2 egg yolks per person, plus one yolk. So if you're making it for 2 people that's 5 yolks. Roughly 6 oz of guanchale that is cooked slowly til fairly crisp. While I'm cooking the guanchale I'm grating the pecorino romano. Locatelli has 7 oz wedges of it. I use like 5 or 6 oz? Grate the romano super fine(don't buy grated cheese.) Now here's where some people freak out. I use spaghetti. Some other people use rigatoni, I personally don't care, rigatoni would probably be pretty damn good too. Just use a dry pasta, 2.5 ish oz per person. Don't go using the whole box, it'll mess up the egg and cheese ratio.
Start whisking your yolks in a medium mixing bowl (metal bowl if you have it) add some black pepper, just a few shakes.
Add the romano to the eggs and now you have a paste, keep mixing, mix over the steam from the boiling water, it'll help.
Strian your pasta, but reserve some of the water. I fill a coffee cup with it before I strain it.
With your reserved pasta water, splash it into your egg & cheese paste. Go slow! too much, too soon will ruin it. Once the eggs and cheese are a nice and thick, but creamy consistency add your pasta and mix. The pasta should be coated nice and evenly, no clumps, but not runny either. If you need a splash of pasta water, add it here. Now add your guanchale (set it out on a paper towel after it crisps, add it from there)
Now plate and serve. You're gonna need a crisp white wine to play off of the saltyness of the carbonara.
Guanchale is what the dish is made with. Pancetta gets substituted in the USA because most people don't have stores that sell guanchale. The flavor is different. You can always order it, but if you live in a city, someone generally sells it.
I live near Raleigh, NC. There is an Italian market downtown. They probably have everything I need. They also have awesome cannoli. Double incentive to go shopping. Thanks for sharing that recipe. I think the classic pasta for this is bucatini.

I made carbonara tonight. I've pretty much prefected it at this point. The guanchale, the egg, the cheese. All perfect ratios. It's pretty much the 3rd best Italian dish for me. Right behind lasagna and ziti and just ahead of manicotti and amatriciana.
Ok 4th best. But only because pizza is the greatest food of all time.
Recipe?
I have always made this with pancetta.

I've been to developmental camp a lot the last 2 years. Being 20 minutes away and retired has it's perks. It's funny to be dressing heavily during a hot summer day but Harborcenter is freezing cold. Always laugh when I see folks wander in with shorts and a t-shirt.
Can't wait to see him and all the rest of the youth. As a whole, they all looked very fast but needed to grow into NHL bodies. So it's hard for me to predict a roster spot sooner than later. We'll see.
This.
If you, or any SabreSpacer goes to development camp I would love to read about your observations.

Even sometimes if they do score at the AHL level they won't score in the NHL. Varada is the posterboy example of that.
And agree with you. ALL players can be taught to play D (they may flat out refuse to do so, but that's on stubbornness not an inability to do so). Not everybody can create and score at the NHL level and it is way easier to get a guy to stop believing in his offensive talents (especially if he's young when he's brought up and just doesn't have the strength to keep the puck going through traffic and to get a hard enough shot off to beat a goalie from only a good, not a great, scoring chance) than to cause that creativity to blossom at the NHL level.
It's going to be real interesting to see how this team plays in it's own end and in transition back towards it's own end this coming season. They'll finally have a goalie that can bail them out when they make a mistake by being overly aggressive. Expecting they'll try to stay aggressive and actually become more aggressive. They seem to let teams have the blue line a lot; expect they will cut down on that and will simply live with the occasional breakaway / 2 on 1 that creates when the defender loses that battle.
Nope. Some guys just are not very smart. They make the same mistakes over and over. Rasmus Ristolainen, for example.
Biggest Sabres issue - losing the 1st period badly too often

In the Granato post mortem thread it was mentioned that the Sabres practices were slow. I have heard coaches say that you play like you practice.
Slow practice = slow start?
