Thanks for posting this. RIP.

You seem impervious to any nuance. Colorodo has had prickly negotiations with him up to now. You need more evidence? Geesh.

He sat out once.

what? Off by 30 hours in October?

The issue is moolah, term, and lucre. Plenty of evidence that these things are straining the "relationship"

The trouble. Where do the goals come from? I'm not sure that this team has added any more goals to last years team.

Not settled at all. But at least we have another reason to pay attention.

Trading for Oreilly would be a coup. Hodgson, a second and St. Louis first would be a start.

Enjoyed this.

That's a textbook bridge contract.

Tyson Strachan - Solid for Ra-Cha-Cha.

I think that's a good spot for Darcy.

Whoa!! I feel like I should retaliate with some Nazareth Hair of the Dog.

I'm not allowed to call anyone that went to Canisius by their first name. So, what's your take?

My complaint is that i've never called anyone an "abortushead" - that really should be in my vocabulary.

I'm still not happy with St. Philomena's Riding Lawnmower raffle. The Bachmeyers have won that thing 3 times in 12 years now.

He fits on any roster for face-off ability alone. I think the agent's strategy was to let the market settle and find long money with term rather than the best short term payout. Otter will have plenty of options.

I imagine term is probably the issue with Ott. If I'm his agent I'm looking for a 4 year deal to take him to age 35.

Good point on Calgary. I think Calgary will be the better team, but competing in a tougher West.

Zenon always made me think of Werewolves of London.

I thought this deserved its own topic. We have trusted one of our number 1 picks to the loving hands of Islanders GM Garth Snow. In Garth I have a great amount of trust. Just last year he won Buffalo's executive of the year award for doing the most to help the Buffalo Sabres. We count on him still. Not since the days of Billy Smith have we had a better reason to wish rotten luck, hard cheese, and misfortune upon the prospects of the Islanders. Our new second favorite team is any team playing the Islanders in 2014-15. So far the Islanders are not looking completely incompetent up front.....their blue-line is another story. Offseason moves to date: Mikhail Graboski - 1/2 point a game centerman via Washington Nikolai Kulemin - Once 30 goal scorer in 2010-11, he has had just 30 goals since. Via Toronto TJ Brennan - Well known to Rochester fans. Cannon shot. AHL savant. Unproven NHL talent Halak - Via - St. Louis - via Buffalo. Cody Conacher - Still young, but career sputtering since his rookie campaign. The Isles Top 6 include: Tavares, Neilson, Okposo, all who can put up points. The Isles blueline is not very deep: Visnovsky, Hickey, Harmonic, Carkner Youngsters Ryan Strome, and Griffin Reinhart could emerge this year. Although the Isles have some talent, lack of depth at every position threatens the success of their season. I think following the Islanders could be one thing that takes some of the sting out of following the NHL next season from a Buffalo perspective. So opening volley. Which teams today are the Islanders better than? Looking at rosters, I have this optimistic assessment: I think they are better than only Carolina, Buffalo, Edmonton, and Florida with certainty, and maybe tie with Ottawa and Winnipeg. So in Wangs world style, we say: Tank on, Garth, Tank on, Wang.

:lol: Response to barista's question: How would you like your coffee? Darcy: "Make it skinny with skim, half-decaf, the free-trade hazelnut roast, please. Here's my punch card. 1 more and I get a free one, right? Is the last punch the free one, or do you have to punch the last punch with a purchase to get the free one? " Murray: " What? My Coffee? A cup. Put it in a cup. Cream? Huh??.......Listen: Caffeine. Brown Liquid. Cup. This isn't about taste for me. I hope we don't have to do this everyday. Punch card? What? No. Just hand me the cup." Advantage?: Push

Ooo la la ...

That's a whale of a question.

I'd watch and hate myself for enjoying it.
