I mentioned over the Summer that the local pub began getting some hard to find beers. The one specifically that shocked me was Duchesse de Bourgogne, a sour Flanders red ale. And a very expensive beer (when you can find it). It is made by a tiny brewery in tiny quantities.
So, this is a score post. The owner of the bar texted me today and asked if I wanted any growlers of Duchesse. He bought a second keg a month ago and it isn't moving. Apparently I was about the only customer drinking the 2nd keg. He's got other seasonal beers he needs to get on tap, so he's offering to give me the beer. He gave me two growlers of it. The rest is getting poured down the drain tonight at closing. I was tempted to go home for more growlers but I don't know that I would be able to drink it fast enough. It isn't something I can drink as a regular beer or in large quantities at one sitting.

He actually got taken off that line before the trade.
Don't spoil my pity party.

@Avalanche: The #Avalanche has acquired Maxime Talbot from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Steve Downie
Joe Sakic on Downie for Talbot trade with Flyers: "Maxime is a veteran forward who has won a Stanley Cup and has a lot of NHL experience."
Dammit. I just picked Downie up for my fantasy team the other day. He was playing on a line with Duchene and O'Reilly. there goes that idea.

I hope.
I agree with most of that, except that a total rebuild from the ground up still requires having several veterans in the lineup. Why wait for another Moulson to come around when he's already here? It would make one less thing to worry about for Darcy.
Because I'm not sure having a Moulson is going to matter next season. Season after, maybe.

So here we have a dedicated player who is a hard working blue collar kind of guy, since he's had to prove himself through every step of his career. A player that gets in front of the net and gets most of his goals in close. A consistent 30+ goal scorer (who hasn't been with Tavares for all of those 30+ goal years) and could be had for a reasonably low price. Not to mention all the talk about hitting the cap floor if/when Stafford and Miller are eliminated from this roster, on top of the fact we got a 1st and 2nd round to boot.
Isn't he exactly the kind of player Sabres fans have been dying for for years? Am I missing something? I just don't get it.
1. Do we have a prayer of even signing him? If any question at all, deal.
2. Is he going to be what he is now when the kids are ready to compete? If not sure, deal.
3. Is his price at the deadline going to be elevated to the point where it simply makes the most sense? Deal.
I agree that he may very well be the type of player we want to hang on to. But this is a total rebuild from the ground up. There will be other Moulson's to grab when the time is right if this one doesn't make sense.

I am now as sick of the Red Sox as I always was of the Yankees. They're pretty much two shades of the same color, to me.
Like Republicans vs. Democrats. :P
Who is the Libertarian baseball team, anyway? Gotta be Houston, right? No chance in hell of winning anything. :P

Delirium Tremens..... Blows my mind every time
I am a sucker for a good saison. DT is a good one.

I know it's Thursday and I should take this to another thread, but It really belongs here. I am really tired of this craft beer craze. There are just too many. And 11 dollars for a six pack,… we think rather highly of ourselves, don't we. Every time I visit my sister, my brother-in-law is saying try this one or that one is awesome. Personally, I think they all taste like dishwater.
An entire aisle of individual six packs and half an aisle of single bottles?! Really?! I don't have the time and money to find one I like, and I certainly don't have the time and money to put up with ones I don't like. Give me market research and focus groups. Let the statisticians weed out all the bad ones and just give me the ones they think I am most likely going to like.
:devil:
Since my job change I have become rather....... price conscious. $11/sixer is not what I am wanting to pay for beer right now. Been alot of Genny Cream Ale in my household lately. Granted, that's probably not one that would have been weeded out by your focus groups. :P

Heated up a little Leberkäse and put it on some Monk's Genesee Rye bread with some German style mustard. Washing it down with a 12 Horse. Delicious.
If you like German sausages and deli meats, there's a guy in Avon who makes great stuff. And if he doesn't have it you can request it.
Holy cow. Never knew that was there. I worked in Honeoye Falls for 12 years, commuted through Avon every day. Never even heard about this place.

In the end, it's about justice (which dirty hippies love). There is no justice when a guy gets only 2 min for a dangerous boarding play. It's not like guys fight after a slash or trip or high stick. When they see a dangerous play, that guy needs to know that he is going to pay more than a 2 min penalty. HE MUST PAY WITH HIS BLOOD! For it to end with a 5 on 5 just teaches guys that if they are going to board someone, make it really bad because you know the other team is going to even it up and you won't hurt your team.
That's why I found nothing wrong with the Vanek comment about the Isles/Rags game yesterday.
LOL it took you 16 minutes after your reply to come up with the words to explain the violence-loving hippe rationale. I don't know what that means but it's funny to me nonetheless. :lol:
-
The instigator rule is quite possibly the most egregious rule in all of sportsdom. Ashton boards a Calgary player, someone does what they should to let him know, and it ends in a 5 on 5 (there was no PP like NBCSN reported).
It has to go.
For a hippie, you sure do like your violence. :P
-
I think it was Rob Ray on the pre-game yesterday that said, directly, that Vanek's conditioning will have to get up to speed for him to play like they'll expect him to on the Islanders.
Vanek is to islanders as Torres is to Sabres.
:w00t:
-
Does knowing that the 1st round pick will likely end up in the later half of the round phase anyone right now? and in a weak draft year no less?
-
Well reading Isle fans reactions, they ALL feel like they got raked over the coals. I'll take that as a pretty good measuring stick for now...
I think they change their tunes when they see just how good Vanek is capable of being.
-
Thank you for the entertainment Thomas. I was hoping you'd be our LW going forward.
I expect that the Islanders #1 pick is not going to be in the first half of the round. Hopefully we get a roster player out of it. it will be in coin toss territory.
-
Ott, Miller and Vanek are all pending UFA's. There are four teenagers living a dream. There is a sophomore coach entering his first year of official coach status. Anybody that thinks this team is tanking on purpose is absolutely insane.
I don't think anyone is suggesting the players themselves are tanking. But this team was most assuredly built with the intent of being bad enough to draft high.

How can you not laugh out loud at this?

No, I was trying to add a separate post that had nothing to do with that comment and it kept merging them no matter how long I took between
And correct Pominville. :D
Lighten up Buttercup. It was a joke.
-
LOL took 3 tries to correct Pominville. :P
-
Exactly. The backup is Lehtonen too many goals. :D
Lame, but I laughed.

There's only two things I hatein this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.Awww, c'mon! Noone jumped on that?

I thought the stats released today that Ronnie has 8, count them 8 regulation wins (ROW) in 41 tries was pretty telling. I didn't like the hire when it was made, and I definitely don't see anything redeeming in his style of play to change my original opinion.
I do look forward to ROW #9 though. Feels like Florida might be their best chance. In years past, the Sabres seem to play better against the Beantown Bullies. So maybe they squeak a point out of Bahstan before they go on their Florida swing.
Imagine a 3 point week.. Baby steps.
Part of the plan for high picks. ;)
-
Heh.
That's cool. I hope he does the alma mater proud.
Missed this yesterday, but that's pretty awesome.
I knew there were a few of us UB alum on here that would appreciate it.
