Tennyson sucks

"Why thank you, I just had it stuffed." One of my favorite movie lines ever.

My point is no team is ever totally healthy so many teams can say “if only we were healthy we’d be top 10”. It’s a big ‘what if’

Great analysis, thanks for posting. As to this comment...I am pretty sure there are at least 15 teams in the top 10 in the NHL when healthy. Of course a team is rarely 'healthy' for very long over 82 games, hence many teams saying they'd be 10 but for injuries. I don't have any data to back it up but my feel for the Sabres injury level was somewhere about average for the year with a beyond average dose in recent games but relatively good health early.

Oh Captain my Captain

Sweep the leg

Oh yeah

Pilut isn’t going back to the AHL, is he?

Yeah but they don't even know what those are. Today I explained what a fax was to my 19 year old. She heard about it but the whole technology aspect was a mystery. Because apparently the US healthcare system thinks fax's are still the way to go.

On a Kings fans board somewhere: "Peterson should start tomorrow. The Sabres are trash."

When these things first came out several years ago and my father and I both watched some dude blithely stroll by with one in his ear while having a loud and annoying conversation. Very uncharacteristically, he turned to me and calmly said "If you ever see me wearing one of those, kill me." Likewise, I will have the same conversation with my daughters one day.

I once attended a concert (U2) in this arena: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saitama_Super_Arena Flexes from 37k down to 19k depending on configuration and can host football or hockey. U2 played 3 nights at 22.5k I believe. So the concept is proven, but execution at 60k down to 20k would be key. That said, the hockey experience would need to be a primary focus. Although football is the big money sport, when the total number of attendees over the season are considered, more spectator hours are spent on hockey than football. The curtain idea worries me. For that kind of money, it has to be a 50+ year facility.

I'm sold on Pilot.

So long as he can keep consuming human blood, then yes. The lockout should buy him another decade.

Hang tight, hiring related processes can be quite inefficient at times. My suggestion is that on the day it's 3 weeks after you had initially texted the hiring manager, send an email to them simply explaining you are checking in on status (no need to point out how long it's taking them, they already know). (maybe texting is OK too but in my age/culture that's a level of informality reserved for current employees not prospects but maybe that's different in your world).

Agreed. He'll likely drop down from 1.07 goals per game to more a more pedestrian 0.75 goals per game for the next decade or so. ?

We can hope

I can foresee an AFC East situation here. No one is going to take the division from Toronto for quite some time. Probably in the entirety of Eichel's contract.

And give them Nylander

Young team...lets off the gas at the end of the period. Not the Leafs.

Looking forward to being tormented by Matthews for the next decade.

Dunleavy is so bad. Misses significant action and tries to generate excitement through his lame phrasing.

I actually am expecting something more like this from Jack:

Erod draws another. Helps to skate fast.

I really prefer 26 out on the PP point vs. 55
