I never wore socks when playing, even in the winter.
Not really, even when wearing the old plastic boot (slipper) and later kangaroo skin skates (my favorites). You get a better feel of the ice without socks.
I never wore socks when I played hockey, either. Same exact reason.

Horton out 4-6 months after surgery.. *cough suckers *cough
I thought Horton died in a car crash?

Jagr better Czech himself, before he wrecks himself.

Hextall now Assistant GM for Flyers.
"To me, [Hextall] is probably the most highly thought-of guy in the League who is not a general manager," Holmgren said. "The fact that he was in the Los Angeles organization, you saw the success he had."

Yeah, from his perspective it really is a no brainer. He could have stuck with New Jersey a few more years and then pulled this trick at any point though. I'd love to know why this contract wound up being structured this way, with the first 2 years being cheap. Part of me thinks that him leaving was planned all along. Why didn't he leave for Russia immediately when he was a free agent instead of agreeing to, and actually playing out those first two cheap salary seasons?
It sounded like he never really considered the KHL as an option until the lockout happened.

Mainly the concussions. I saw one article site attitude issues but I looked around the Internet for a while and found nothing pertaining to that.
Probably just a combination of the concussions and that he has never met the expectations of his draft position.
Maybe he has reached his ceiling; maybe he needs the right coaches and environment. If he is willing to take a one year two- way contract, why not?

Zigomanis!

IK right? Enroth seems like he is a pretty funny guy.
I think he wasnt joking.

I see the Panthers are done with Mueller. Should the Sabres give him a try? He'll be cheap!
If he wants a one year deal?
Sure. Why not.

I love it when Sabres fanbois hate on Deluca instead of hating on their own teams ineptitude.
I have no reason to think that the Devils will not be ahead of the Sabres in the standings at the end of next year.
The Devils have Lou Lamoriello. The Sabres have DR.
The whole point is that the Devils will almost always be in a better position than the Sabres because Lou has a clue, and DR doesn't.

Spent a few hours with the family today at the Tonawanda Wildlife Refuge. For those of you who have never been, it is a hidden gem in western NY. There is a nesting pair of bald eagles right along the road. Don't even need binoculars to get a good look. But we also saw something today that I never would have guessed ever makes its way into the area. We were in one of the parking areas glassing for raptors (they have a population of ospreys and lots of hawks and vultures) and an older gentleman approached us and asked if we have ever seen pelicans around here. "No. I can't imagine they make their way out here". And he says "well there is a white pelican in among those cranes. I've got him centered in my spotting scope if you'd like to take a look". And sure enough, about 500 yards out was a white pelican, huge baggy beak and all, making himself at home in a flock of cranes. Right here in the refuge. I cannot imagine how a pelican ended up out here. And I can't imagine I'll see another one again in western NY. Pretty damned cool I must say.
Thank you for mentioning this. I'll have to check it out soon!
If anyone here is ever near San Diego, the Chula Vista Nature Preserve is definitely worth checking out.

I had no clue what to expect. It was Brendon Small and the rest of the guys who make the music in front of a big screen that was playing Metalocalypse videos/synced up animations. I was up against the rail and got the bass player's pick/covered in Small's sweat and beer. Was better than I thought it would be.
Was that the show with Chimaira? That was like 4-5 years ago...

Trying to stay positive. P.S. Sneaky Pete's son Dominic is eligible and so is Daniel Audette, Donald Audette's son.
Donald Audette's SON???
My gosh, I must be old. I remember getting Audette's autograph when I was a kid and he was a prospect with Rochester.

NHL 94!!!

I love how the opening of the video shows LaLaLa facing off against Hartford, then transforms into Hodgson, with Vanek and Ott on the wings.

TWC decided to send something to collections, which happens to be an account that was already paid and closed, while I am in the midst of house hunting.
The mortgage company, and myself, are none too pleased.

Yep.
He better have a really good reason to retire, even if we never find out what it is. If he doesn't, then he is an idiot and he should never be allowed to ever play in the NHL again. If he does, the only way he should ever be allowed back is if resumes his contract with the Devils.
What a waste. He's only thirty freakin' years old.
Sounds like the KHL was never much of an idea in his head, until the lockout happened, and he played there.
Thanks again, to all the geniuses who thought the lockout was a great idea for the league.

I know it won't last too long as my tolerance for this style is way down, but the "Viking Metal" Pandora channel is pretty epic. I'm rocking out like Toni and Hank.
Do they play Destroy Destroy Destroy?

Andreychuk hosed again. Not really sure if those elected are really worthy over him. This class seems pretty weak.
Pat Burns hosed again.

Damn. That's another thing I miss about WNY. I don't think people realize how much maple syrup comes from there or how good it is.
I refuse to consume maple syrup. Reminds me too much of the Maple Leafs.
Yeah, I keeps it real like that.

Nutribullet.
I used to laugh at the infomercials, but it actually does kick ass.

Fucale was of great value in the position that he fell to. Sabres would have been wise to have grabbed him there.
If you can get an "almost sure thing" in the 2nd round, you take him. Idc how many goaltending prospects the Sabres already have. It's an important position.
Great goaltending can win cups. Moreoften recently than a team full of Crosbys, Malkins, Iginlas, Neals, etc.
Stafford needs to go
