Interesting move... not like Ottawa needs cap space, or to free up roster spots, or is up against the contract limits. Moreover, Zaitsev had a 10 team NTC. Guess Chicago wasn't on the list. Capfriendly shows 5 D active (including Zaitsev) for the Sens.. are both D on IR could come back and they'd still only be at 21 on the roster. I've got to be missing something.

Ain't no harm as long as people are attacking the points being made as opposed to those who are making them.

I'd much prefer a GM with the brains to build a solid team. Guts are what get you in a fights you have no hope of winning. Waiting for Levi is a plan. It may not be your plan, but it is indeed a plan. All plans are hopes and prayers unless you can see the future. Plans succeed and fail but only do so after they are completed and you can judge them in their entirety. Interestingly enough Adams has done pretty well so far, signing players to solid contracts, drafting well, and the team is much improved. You need to accept that your reality isn't necessarily THE reality. You are more impatient and would have done more things. Like I said above, guts is what gets you in trouble. Brains are what you need to make intelligent moves.

Do you think the Sabres are better than the Leafs? I really wish Don Granato could have frozen time and repositioned UPL for a few of those goals. If he could have told Power to turn around and not change in a split second. The Sabres were beaten by a superior team that just got even better. Why is this shocking to anyone? There are clearly people on here who think the talent on the Sabres is far better than it is.

I was dying when I saw this video. Skinner flat out nails awkward like a professional.. and Tuch.. hah. Anyway.. this kind of stuff is what teams need to do. It's brilliant marketing.

Interesting. Very few sports are actually produced in a higher resolution. Most are still broadcast at 720p or 1080i with 720p still tending to be the favored resolution overall. This means that whether you are using FuboTV, Youtube.TV, DirecTV, or Spectrum.. their source material is in low resolution. Linear TV is TV that is not on-demand with predetermined broadcast schedules (aka: You use a guide to know when it will be on). It is not solely cable or satellite but includes streamers as well. The upscaling capabilities of broadcasters, equipment, your TV play a huge role in how that broadcast looks on a 4k TV. Naturally the one variable that streaming TV adds to the mix is adaptive bitrate which will impact your viewing quality based on the ability of your connection to maintain a steady bitrate. So, you'd see a worse broadcast if you can't hit the bitrate the streaming services require. That said, if you do have a solid bitrate then the broadcasts should functionally look the same especially if the TV itself is providing the most upscaling. Better TVs with higher end processors do a far better job of handling the upscaling. The other factor on services with set top boxes is that they will often output the resolution of the broadcast and not upscale. Your TV might be set to not upscale that and then switch down to the lower resolution (assuming you have 4k TV). Some TVs will look better at that point as well (smaller screens). The good news is that the ATSC 3.0 standard will push linear TV into the 4k world (among other things) and it should lead to more content produced in 4k and then all linear providers will benefits.

Yeah, Nashville is loud too, but at least they have top notch sound equipment so it doesn't make your ears bleed. The Amerks sound equipment is terribly inefficient so its defaults to just painful sound. It's great they did that and perhaps it was better in the arena, but the YT video of it was painful. If you are going to honor someone at least spend the money for some top notch recordings and why would you do it at intermission when most people are trying to offload the 5 beers they had prior?

He's about the only saving grace in that movie... and even he hates that he was in it. I think you both share something in common. It says a lot in the end-credits scene in DeadPool 2 where he shoots himself in the head while reading the script and says "You're welcome Canada". Ryan Reynolds is definitely savvy with his money. His shtick may wear thin (like Will Farrel's) but he gets marketing.

Bottom line it for me: Who gets to decide if a crime was committed?

I'm not trying to pick a fight. You made the comment "Must be a whole lot of autistic people out there". It's easy to find out as I shared. You made no additional comment however so it does leave things up for interpretation. I asked for clarity. I think it's great. These are the kinds of things you do as a team to get feedback from your regular fans and hopefully from those who attend because they are trying to include more people who otherwise would not be able to enjoy the game. Given the sound system at BCA having no music would be fantastic. I actually avoid games because of it.

Sprints were interesting.. Michigan Mile? Now my kids always hated that one.

You never know. For a long time, and it may still be, there was no Spectrum TV app on Amazon. However, when I had Spectrum I did have a Samsung TV and that had an app for Spectrum. A very poor app, but an app all the same.

I hit awesome, not for your son's struggles but that he might be able to enjoy a game. I would hope it would go without saying, but in this day and age I felt I should clarify.

The itch is understandable but no matter what you do, this is not the year the Sabres are going to have a shot. So unless a move helps the team next year and the year beyond I don't see anything happening. I think/hope they are involved in the trade deadline, but not by giving up the picks and prospects. Unless they can give up a #1 two years out. I'd be up for that. I am still patient on the ever improving team. I don't care about how long it's been since the playoffs, I'd rather see a team that gets in and stays in for a long time than flash in the pan.

https://lmgtfy.app/?q=Autism+in+the+United+States First result from www.autismspeaks.org So yes... there are a lot of people out there who are diagnosed on the spectrum. A simple search would tell you just how common it is. Pray tell, do you find what the Amerks are doing to be a positive or negative thing? Given the way you've worded your post I could assume, but I'd love for you to clarify it.

Has the person been arrested? That's all I am looking at for right and wrong here. If the person who throws the punch is not charged, then it was not considered a crime and therefore not in violation of the law or the rules. It's not really for us to say what is and is not allowed. There is clear video evidence here. Either that person will be charged or they will not.

Looking out for your children when they need it or they cannot protect themselves is not helicoptering, that's just parenting.

I have about 4 sites I visit with any routine. This is one of them. The only sport I truly care about is hockey and the Sabres are far away my favorite team and the only one I actually care about. All other hockey teams are interesting to me simply because they are part of hockey and in the world of the Sabres. This place, at its best, is full of information and insight, debate and conversation. This place, at its worst, is the Internet. I've met a few people on here and it makes it even more of a community because of it.

And the helicopter parent is giving way to the lawnmower parent.

A few bigger name players have already begun advocating for 10 min OT. So... never say never.

I remember all of it. Can be upgraded and "will be upgraded" is the problem. Even the food options are a joke however and that's something that doesn't take renovation. That said, all the entertainment areas and there were plenty of people in the seats at Bridgestone.. and the crowd was into it. I think the crowd can't help but be into it given the scoreboard, the PA announcer, and the culture the fans have created there (with the college like chants). I need to get to some more venues (sadly I don't travel to many NHL cities).

Was in Nashville all this past week.. took in the Devils/Preds game Thursday night. There isn't any capacity of the Predators in-game/on-ice experience that isn't superior to the Sabres. (Not talking about the quality of the hockey team itself or its play). The pre-game, on-ice projections (including a projection of shot locations between periods), the PA announcer, crowd involvement, the concessions, the scoreboard.. I mean everything is superior. The KBC is an absolute dump by comparison. Buffalo should have put the football stadium downtown and driven evolution into the area. Small upgrades are not enough for the hockey venue... I would love to see the Sabres get the benefit of the Predators arena and production quality. I get the draw of Broadway in Nashville, but Buffalo could achieve similar results (without the exceptional music) if it wanted to. It screwed up on this and that's another 20-30 years of impact because of it. Sad. PS. My edit.. if it appears: The Sabres are right to have individual goal songs however. Although it was pretty cool when Duchene scored the 4th goal which apparently gets everyone a free frosty. That said, 6x times of "I Like It, I Love It" does not make me want some more of it. However, if I were to hear Gimme Gimme Gimme 6x in a night I'd probably be okay with it.

I guess it shows how desperate some people must be to be a head coach in the NHL. Rick Tocchet must have some faith in Vancouver to not get screwed over like his predecessor. No way I'd want to be part of that. I'd keep my cushy TNT job until the next opening happened. Not that Tocchet is all that as a coach.

Or it involves multiple players and the team receiving Hinistroza wants him in the AHL for now. Since he pass waivers he's technically not in the NHL so the team that acquires him does not have to bring him up yet. (I believe I have that right). In any event, it sounds like the Sabres are going to "do something." 🙂

Based on the text I got from my kid... he does.
