Did something tonight I had been hoping to pull off. Waited until Mavis Staples, the opening act, took the stage and tickets on the secondary market dropped like a rock. Picked up row 34 center stage (face value over $100) for $40 each and then the Mrs. and I boogied over to Red Rocks and parked in the distant paw paw patch. Caught a taxi up the hill ($10) and made it to our seats to catch Mavis end her set with "I'll Take You There". Then we watched Bonnie Raitt, who is an American Treasure, and her band put on an excellent show. We headed out before the encore and hoofed it downhill about 15 minutes walking and beat the traffic that was just emerging. Time to walk the dog and get into bed for work tomorrow. Getting the hang of this living in Colorado business...

Best of luck with her. If you happen to be able to post a full body picture I'd love to see her. I'm a 'big dog' person and am fascinated with a Poodle-Newfie mix. (I have a Saint Bernard but she's a very petite girl at 110 lbs).

He was at camp going all out when he was hurt. He's under contract for the season. Understand your concern but perhaps he's earned the benefit of the doubt.

What I like about this topic is that in looking at the list of 14 players, aside from perhaps Tuch because he is a more established veteran, the other 13 would appear to be more likely than not to either establish themselves as contributing NHL players for the first time(JJP, Quinn Power), or have improved performance this season as compared with last year, or even their best demonstrated performance in their career. It's a lot of upside. Granted, it won't all come to fruition but it's very possible 3/4's of these guys move ahead in their career progression and this team makes a larger leap in the standings than the pundits expect. I'm excited to see how it plays out.

Scored a free ticket to see Lettuce w/Tower of Power and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at Red Rocks on Wednesday.

Tig Notaro. But this discussion is about Kale Clague. Tig is more of a checking forward.

Not bringing back Eakin is worth a few points of improvement in the standings.

I did not...what am I am I missing? I think it will be a sh*t show, and I love it.

I think it's going to work out OK. I just read this on TSN: But given the salary commitment of close to US$4.69 million over the next two seasons — Ottawa is picking up 25 per cent of his $6.25-million cap hit through 2023-24 — it's safe to assume Murray will be the starter. "I'm extremely motivated," he said Tuesday. "I've got lots to prove." He's extremely motivated! Lol...

Agree, but do you think there's a chance he's exaggerating in the retelling of the story? My impression from the brief parts posted are that it's one of those directionally correct autobiographies rife with inaccurate details, exaggerations, and outright whoppers. I bet it was less than 5 minutes but felt like 45 for the people sweating out it out in front of a pissed off boss. It's funny though my first reaction was not that Golisano was a psycho (although in retrospect if it really was 45 minutes, he was a psycho) it was that here was another example of Regier being spineless. If the other facts of the story are true, he obviously screwed up. Just admit it, take your lumps and move on for crying out loud. Or, if you think otherwise, tell the boss he's wrong and why. But being the GM and just sitting there in silence is weak.

Just to provide an alternate view: Paychex provides back-office operations for companies that are too small to justify creating their own AP, AR, etc. functions themselves when it's more cost efficient to outsource them. Buying a bankrupt asset and selling it when fortunes have turned is often called savvy business acumen. I know the guy is a bit of a pompous a-hole but I also see his name on various Children's hospitals in Upstate NY, so there is that.

Three Centers...I feel like this doesn't bode well for Mittelstadt being with the organization long term.

I was happy to see this thread re-activated and read what everyone is doing. I went back to my last post (above with updates as to what actually happened) and couldn't help but think about that God enjoy a good laugh when I make plans. Also it seems that my wife is willing to go to extreme lengths to avoid going to concerts with me. Since then, much to my surprise, I only made it to one more CMAC show (Ringo Starr in May) before we ended up moving to Colorado. Now when I walk out my front door and look across the roofline, I see the Red Rocks Ampitheatre. Tickets to Tedeschi Trucks Band and Krauss/Plant at Red Rocks are acquired. Also have tickets to see Gov't Mule in a small theater in Boulder in September and The Who in the hockey arena in October.

Thank you. Interestingly, I tried this first and just tried it again and no luck. All I get is a text version of it. For example here is what I get for a Sabres pre-draft preview video on YouTube: 2022 NHL Draft Late-Round Sleepers | Sabres Draft Show - YouTube I'm baffled.

I really look forward to the day when the Sabres are good enough and relevant enough for this fan base to at least appear on such a list as Most Annoying.

I, for one, am excited to see Phil Cedarquist lace them up in Rochester next year.

Also, David Wiffen.

Kadri is a guy who could help the Sabres. However, so are Wilson, Marchand, and Gudas. And I don't want any of them on a team I root for.

I use FB Marketplace at times and have been unloading stuff left and right recently as we are moving. Used to use Craigslist in a similar manner. I prefer FB as it at least requires someone to have an account that you can look at and make a judgment as to whether you do or do not trust them relative to meeting when they say they will, or coming in your house, etc. for those large items where you can't just meet them in the driveway. It's not perfect but if you look at a dude's FB account and he's posting about his little kids all the time and saying Happy Mother's Day and so forth, and lives 10 minutes from you, etc., how risky is it really? Just a heads-up that frequently people will message you saying "I am interested" or even "Would you take $X for it?" and you can reply, and then you never hear from them again. I don't understand that behavior but it happens a lot. Lastly, and perhaps it goes without saying...people are really looking for cheap stuff and good deals on FB Marketplace. It's not like eBay where you can name your price and wait it out with an international buying pool. Basically assume you'll get less than what you'd expect to pay at the Salvation Army store for most things. But it's cash and you don't have to dispose of the item...

That 'Panthers going all the way pick' I made seems pretty dumb in retrospect.

Samson beats Samsonov, and none of the announcers make hay with that. Weak.

Serious talent in Dallas (sitting behind Bowness that is)
