Butch Deadmarsh. Randy Wyrosub. Morris Titantic. "The "Bench Connection"

Im baffled by the talk of Olofsson being moved so easily. He's emphatically stated that it's his "dream" to remain a Sabre long-term. Moving a guy like that sends a horrible message. The team has literally won 5 games recently because of his clutch scoring. Meier would be a HUGE add on this team. "Feared" as Granato desires...

Nope. Not the same. Wrong place on ice. Different jersey on opponent - think that was the NorthStars in the video - not the Seals.

The sold out is just on printed paper tickets. There's plenty of spots available (maybe not VIP) and getting in at the door is no problem (with no extra fees). By the way - I'm not the promoter of this festival and stand no monetary gain for this promotion - but close friends are.

With much hesitation I'm finally replying to this thread and those who feel it's "wineification" to have a true understanding and appreciation of beer. It's quite ironic that the same folks who can devote 64 pages to the intracacies of a hockey trade, or dozens of pages on whether a player is worthy of playing 3rd line left wing cannot comprehend that once you get beyond the surface appreciation of anything (be it a sport, food, wine, beer - anything) that there will inevitably be more scrutiny and description that just "enjoyable" or "not enjoyable." Are some of the terms used laughable - sure. But some some are absolutely required (a good example is "horse blanket" or "barnyard" when describing a beer fermented spontaneously with wild yeast). Now - whether you decide to take your appreciation to the next level is your decision - you can stay at the base level if you choose - but please remember there are legions of people who think these sports forums are a large part of a wasted life! This IS a beer appreciation thread after all - so perhaps be open to those who have decades of experience in the nuances and styles of craft beer. Chuckle at some of the terms used, sure, but you might just learn a thing or three. And by the way - if you want to attend a quality beer festival, there's one tomorrow. The Buffalo Brewers Fest at Canalside. An all-day food, beer and music festival that features NYS craft breweries.
