Weave

IIRC... After the draft the Sabres claimed that drafting May instead of Tkachuck was part of the agreement and they were comfortable with that because they had May and Tkachuck rated evenly. Oopsie.

Quoting from the suspicious packages thread: Somehow I'm thinking that there is a sudden change in that mindset given this result. Given how contrived our election results have become, I'm open to trying this. It can't be any worse than gerrymandered results from a cherry picked field.

Yup. especially the last sentence. And there is also the flexibility to move a surplus center to wing as well.

That won’t end well...... and the rest of your comments explain perfectly why Berg is in over Erod.

We'll be in that place soon. Our dog is on borrowed time. I've posted about it here. We're pretty much going week to week with him. You'll always have the memories...

I thought that ERod had a particularly bad game against Tampa. In fact, his game stuck out to me the most. He seemed to be really neutralized by Tampa's physical play. Given Winnie is a big, physical team, I can see why House would sub him out for Berglund. Berglund has made a career out of playing in a bigger, stronger conference.

Yup. A strong finish to the season is going to be more valuable to this team than a prospect that will never amount to anything and a couple low end lottery tickets.

Very entertaining game. I think Buffalo stole one. Tampa was the better team. Thats OK. I’ll take it

Can you say oligarchy? Sure you can.

Interesting that the title says scoring at highest level since 95-96. That timeframe was ruled by New Jersey and the trap. It was the dead puck era. Crazy that the scoring got worse after that.

I can see Spiderman pulling a Weekend at Stan’s.

I don’t think the change is about Pommers energy level. I think this change is as simple as, Sam has a hot hand and has earned ice time on the top line. As soon as he cools off he’ll be playing with Erod again and the next hot RW will get a crack.

I’m thinking we all have forgotten how good average looks compared to the last 5 seasons.

I can’t think of a better “grow from within” opportunity than a round of playoffs. If a 2C better assured that growth opportunity, then I think it is worth one of those 1st rd picks.

Bills win this on a defensive touchdown.

I've been known to top a small bowl of cream of wheat with an over easy egg. Break the yolk and mix it into the cream of wheat and it is delicious fatty rich. I think it is time. Let's hear everyone's top 3 breakfast meals. For me it is: 1. Huevos Rancheros I make mine with ground chorizo sauteed until just crispy, refried beans, 2 over easy eggs, and 2 fried corn tortilla shells. Top with salsa. 2. Corned beef hash and eggs. IMO the best part of St. Paddy's day is leftover corned beef hash the next morning for breakfast. Over easy eggs to accompany. 3. Creole style shrimp and grits. Bloody Mary to go along with. Vacation breakfast supreme. Honorable mention to an authentic French Omelet. I've managed to get this technique down fairly well. It does take practice to get it right, but when done right the eggs are silky smooth. Almost custard like.

When I do grits for breakfast, it's savory anyway. Not a sweet breakfast guy at all. Which probably explains my aversion to pancakes.

Contact info? ? the downside of grits is its a solid 30 minutes or more to get them to the right consistency. I rarely make them for breakfast because of the time involved. It's basically southern polenta. Have you ever had gritty polenta? For a dinner preparation I'll spend the time. And it comes out creamy and delicious.

You're undercooking them.

Grits are awesome. I'll agree on most pancakes being underwhelming.

I'm betting that was in response to some taunting. Mitts got the last laugh.

Watched the first 2 periods at a bar. Grocery shopped during period 3 and most of overtime. Didn't expect that ending when I left the bar.

Too many guys sitting in Rochester? This doesn't bother me.

Not for nothing, if that didn't go smoothly and the first week at home didn't go smoothly, a week without playing could have been to allow them to get their hands around whatever was happening.

LOL But that wan't my point. Phil might just see the potential in this kid but maybe he wasn't doing something Phil wanted him doing. He obviously did something right in Montreal. We're quick to call Housley stupid because he's sitting someone we don't want sitting. The team is doing well. Maybe there is a method to what is being seen as madness. That's not an indictment of Erod, if anything it's more a postive take on Housley.
