Weave

Is Larry Piegza getting any attention in the burbs? He's the Independent Party candidate I think (independent + party, isn't that an oxymoron?)? Making alot of noise about being a genuine Trump candidate, supporting all the Trump plans/policies. His press releases indicate polling numbers moving his way. Man, this is a weird election with a trial hanging over Collins head. And Trump still getting pretty good support.

And some are also preordaining his NHL success. Welcome to the internet.

LOL "whether I like it or not". As if I am rooting against him. so weird. You might be right about the switch when they're back home. I expect Thompson will look awesome in the A too. Edit- Somewhere on this forum someone recently posted a stat that compared age a player reached 1 pt/gm and how it translated to NHL success and essentially 1 pt/gm at 23 typically indicated that the player wasn't liekly to make it in the NHL. I know, he wasn't here at 22. Still, caution is warranted. Late success in the lesser leagues rarely translates in the NHL. Hope the kid does something very unusual. But won't be surprised if he doesn't.

Boy, LA looks disjointed.

If he were a proven scorer at the NHL level, no. He's doing what Ken Prieslty, Jody Gage, Mal Davis, and Claude Verret did. Luke Adam too for that matter. Let's not go gaga just yet. And to your first request, Taylor has very recently said he needs to work on the other areas of his game. I don't know where you're getting "liability" from.

Unfortunately, he'll play well in the non suburban portions of Collins district.....

We're appraoching irrational exhuberance with Olofsson. He's a older prospect that should be doing very well in the AHL. At some point he should get a shot on the big team, but expecting him to correct what's wrong in Buffalo is asking way more than we should be.

Fall salmon fishing is fun. Big, big fish on relatively light tackle. The crowds can make it tough sometimes.

Therein lies the biggest issue I had with how we got to where we are. The expectation of entertaining at a very minimum was lost. And now the team is struggling to get back to at least that minimum level on a consistent basis.

I pretty much fully agree with the substance of this last post. I think if Ullmark would have shown himself to be the better goalie he’d be the starter now regardless of any preconceived notions. And I think Hutton getting the starting job (given that Ullmark has not yet demonstrated that he’s the better goalie) makes the most sense given the reasons you’ve listed. But I also believe that playing Ullmark after a shutout win is a very defensible position. Granted, not playing him after the shutout is also very defensible.

Nice fish. I haven’t fished an Erie trib in years. Ontario is more convenient to me now. The nice thing about Erie tribs is they don’t get the crazy salmon crowds that the Ontario tribs get right now.

Took some heat on here last season after suggesting this.

Off Erie or Ontario?

You won’t regret cord cutting. And youtube has replaced most of the TV time I had.

I was definitely gone before Tops moved. But I was still in the neighborhood in 88. Moved in 90.

I read it as 2 calling for Ullmark to be the starter and a few more that wanted him to get another start after the shutout. And the 2nd part is definitely worthy of debate.

Let's not get carried away here.

Questioning fanhood and suggesting posters go away because they fan differently than you do is stupid. Its also childish. And I know a thing or four about being childish.

Somewhere on a Kings forum someone psoted the same about the Sabres.

Why in the hell don't I remember that? EDIT- my wife, who is also from that area, does not remember a Mighty Taco across from the old Ground Round while we were dating. Could it be that it opened 1990ish when we were already moved out? Our late night/early morning Mighty Taco experiences were typically at the Union Road location near the Town and Country restaurant, where Guitar Center is now.

Lol You’re younger than me. No Mighty on French Road in my day. The Ground Round building was still standing on that site.

Oh man, that's my old stomping grounds. If my head cold makes a big reversal tomorrow, I'm in. I'll text if I can do it.

Judging by your avatar, you need to get you to the rod and gun club thread.

The problem is too many Thursday games. Buffalo Sabres Stats‏ @SabresStats 22m22 minutes ago Want a little bit of good news for the #Sabres next game? It’s not on a Thursday! So far this season, BUF is 0-3 on Thursdays and have been outscored 15-2!! On every other day of the week they are 3-1 and have outscored their opponents 11-7.
