I also talked to Barnaby at the mall once. My wife went to high school with his ex-wife, so when they ran into each other I got the intro.
My wife used to take my son to Chuck E. Cheese. Matt Barnaby and his kid was in there frequently too. Our kids sort of hung together when they were both there.

5 pages before gametime! :P

Cheez. Never figured John Scott to be a guy that had practice problems. Welp, if he's not working in practice, on ya go.

I expect Moulson and Ott will be gone on deadline day. Maybe Tallinder too. Wouldn't surprise me at all if there isn't a right match to move Miller. And that would be a shame.
I rather prefer if Moulson and Ott were re-signed in the offseason, but I am doubtful that happens.

This story is amazing. Not just Sabrespace amazing, all time hockey amazing. I'm trying to find the video. And chance it wasn't the whalers?
LOL I was sooo tempted to scour youtube for video of that fight. wanted to see it too.

Do in game encounters count? Back in the early 90's my buddy and i were sitting first row golds at the aud. Right down by the face-off dot. We were playing the Hartford Whalers. Brad May was leaning up against the boards waiting for a TV timeout to end. My buddy pounds the glass and gets his attention. He motions to May to fight one of the Whalers - sorry memory not that good. May looks at him and them turns and looks at Whaler. Then says "him" through the glass.
Puck drops and God as my witness before they cleared the zone the gloves were dropped and they were going at it. Next time May came in the zone he hit the glass with his stick where we were sitting. Everyone around us knew what he did and we were all screaming. Awesome moment and forever a Brad May fan.
Hell now that i think about it it could have been late 80's. Where does time go?
That. is. Awesome.
Brad May was nucking futs. Gawd I loved him. Total man crush.

Saw and chatted with Rob Ray many times at outdoor shows. Jim Lorentz attended the same church we did. Used to see Dave Andrechuck at Brennan's Bowery bar on non-game Friday nights. When my wife was pregnant with our son we used to eat Sunday breakfast at the Country Kitchen on Niagara Falls Blvd. Used to see Larry Playfair in their often enough.
My crowning achievement in close encounters with celebrities happening during a flight home from LA for a business trip. Thanks to a last minute flight request I had first class tix and managed to sit across the aisle from Cindy Crawford for the flight from LAX to Detroit, and then when I switched planes for the trip to Buffalo I had Grant Fuhr in the seat in front of me. He was returning from a Dr. visit for his most recent knee surgery. Cindy Crawford is a tall glass of water and beautiful even without makeup. And she had a posse of security with her. Fuhr was trying his level best to not interact with anyone.
My wife's father used to be the service manager at one of the Cadillac dealerships in the area. When my wife and I first started dating my future FIL tried to set her up with Tom Barrasso whenever he came to the dealership to get service done on his car. :cry: I now give my FIL sh!t regularly for not pursing that more aggressively.
Almost forgot to add, ate lunch at the clubhouse for the Links at Ivy Ridge in Clarence sitting next to Rick Martin. Had a great hockey conversation with him. Very friendly guy. Just weeks before he died.

Roenick starting off the broadcast by saying the slash last night was the worst call he has ever seen in professional hockey. Love it. No doubt about it
Except the olympics aren't professional hockey.

Having just suffered through a 2 day hangover a couple weekends ago I'll fall on the side of, hell yeah you can be performance impaired two days after a serious tie on.
Do I give a rat's ass? Nah. Would I if it were the USA team? Probably not. Gotta be some seriously lousy tasting humble pie that Vanek is noshing on right now though.
-
Someone needs to taint Team Canada's pre-game mac and cheese to assure a win for the USA.
You wanna put your what in their food?
-
Bob and Doug Mackenzie called it back bacon. That pretty much settles it, eh?

Putin watching Russia v Finland.
Ya think they take hockey seriously in Russia? Can you imagine an American leader reacting this way to an American performance in an Olympic event? I can't.
-
I got your point, and I'll address it seriously rather than joke around: Russia did not play lazy, or disinterested, or any of that other stuff that has become the narrative in such a short period of time. Their game against the USA was some of the most inspired hockey that I ever have seen. Problem is, Russia's just not that good. But you're right: that's not the story we're getting from sportswriters.
I tend to agree. Russia's failures in international play speak volumes about the recent state of player development in Russia.

50% hit rate on 1st round goalies is about the same hit rate for 1st round skaters.

Well, that was anticlimactic.
Tonight they were hoping to re-find an asteroid that was initially discovered over a decade ago but hasn't been seen since. they were aiming their telescopes based on where they thought it should be.
I guess it looks like there is going to have to be some analysis of the images taken to determine if they've reacquired it.
-
Working for me. They have a couple of scientists on right now. Sort of an interview. I'm hoping we'll get to see some imagery opf the pass. The telescope they planned to use for the broadcast is down due to snow and ice.

An asteroid 300 yards wide is passing relatively close by the earth in about 45 minutes.

Near-Earth asteroid 2000 EM26 poses no threat of actually hitting the planet, but the online Slooh Space Camera will track the asteroid as it passes by Earth on Monday. The live Slooh webcast will start at 9 p.m. ET (0200 Feb. 18 GMT), and you can also watch the webcast directly through the Slooh website.you can view it pass by on the slooh space cam when it goes by.
Stream is here. http://live.slooh.com/

OK, that's funny.

Hmm, not sure if that's the link you intended... first story that comes up is about a bunch of couples doing nude tandem bungee jumping, lol.

Very interesting piece on the long road prospects take, focused on Ristolainen and Nurse:
Huh. Edmonton full of prospects on defense? Who knew?
Sabres fans better not expect Edmonton to draft Ekblad if they are ahead of us.
-
In an interview with WGR, Tim Murray was talking about the future in net for the Sabres. He was talking about Hackett/Lieuwen and said "they both have good size. I like bigger goalies."
Is that Enroth's hopes deflating that I hear?
-
Interesting counterpoint to the NHL adopting international ice dimensions:
Matt Duchene on the big ice: "This is why the NHL should never go to a big ice, it'll take the scoring out of the game."
More Duchene on the big ice: "You're able to play way more defensive on the big ice. It makes for less offense."
-
Apparently Baptiste isn't considered a lock to make the NHL by folks who assess these things.
-
Baptiste's marker gives him 13+10 in 17 games since Jan. 1. -

Still a "long shot" to make the NHL (per H-Future)?Kris Baker @SabresProspects 1h -

Cheese and rice. I hate the black or white way things are portrayed on internet forums. Noone is looking to run Ehrhoff out of town. All this is is an acknowledgement that Ehrhoff may not want to be here anymore and he may be the player on the team with the most return value.
