  1. There were games this past year where I was really impressed with the Bills' attitude on the field, like when Stevie got in that guys face after he knocked out Donald Jones. There's a lot more pride and confidence in the team, even if they only won 6. These draft picks seem to bring even more swagger into the fold.
  2. I love the kicker pick. Check out these kick offs. And he hits like an LB 8:20 or so onwards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5HxqDM93qo&feature=related Yes, he's splitting the uprights from the OTHER 30 yard line.
  3. Got hired through a temp agency. Took me all night to fill out the online paperwork, because it was ONLY compatible with Internet Explorer. Not my Mac, not even Mozilla, though they let me to believe that it would be, and they NEEDED it within 24 hours. So after downloading a ton of useless ######, plugins, browsers, and ######, on the Mac, I had to fire up the old Compaq Dinosaur to fill out the 10 year employment history, exact dates, addresses, phone numbers, supervisors names, having to Google like a mother, and then ERROR, lost everything. I finished the damn thing at 8:30 am, 4 hours to spare, 8 hours work. No pay. They made me take a drug test too. Result came back Negative, yes. Negative dillute (NO!) :wallbash: I would have had to re-take, but just then, my dream job called. They hired me to start immediately. ###### you Adecco.
  4. Shiznit. As long as Prokofiev is on the table. Montague v. Capulet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sJE0kI6loU Battle on the Ice is better, though. Shoutout to the greatest living conductor Valery Gergiev.
  5. Absolutely Prokofiev's "Battle on the Ice" Nevsky is a film by Eisenstein, and the soundtrack was by Prokofiev. It's Classic cinema, like Citizen Kane. This was Stalin's heyday, though, so imagine him over the shoulder of both the director and composer... and they came up with amazingly subversive things. Both were too popular to kill, at the time.
  6. Sure he gets beat on the check sometimes, but so does Leino. I think checking is one of Tropps strengths. There aren't many on the team who can check better.
  7. Every time I think of the Aud Club... :( I simply love you, more than I love... Life itself... (doo whop, doo whop, doo whop) And I guess that's why they call it the Blues. Time on my hands, could be time spent with you. Laughing like children. Living like lovers. Rolling like thunder... And I guess that's why they call it the Blues. :(
  8. It may be Dry, but there's also Ky. But don't you also have olive oil?
  9. I was thinking of Tropp. Some other brother from a gentle mother distracted me, inadvertently. No. I was thinking of Paetch. Damn it, wasn't Paille a defenseman at some time!
  10. You are dissing him by comparing him to Paille. I've never seen Paille try to turn a defenseman inside out. The thought of Paille trying to turn a defenseman inside out is depressing. Tropp can muscle a player off the puck, and he can pass, and shoot, and fight better than a 7th defenseman turned forward.
  11. Tropp's not playing as a top 6 right now, to be fair. You can see why Lindy is hesitant to label a "first" line, though, because I wouldn't call Vanek a "non top 6" player. If we were willing to call Kassian a top 6 player, then why not Tropp?
  12. I appreciate your use of the word "hope," because that's all it is. We had Drury for longer than the Rangers did, so we had more time to incorporate his power of leadership. Did you f'in see Ennis go after that dude that touched him with a stick? That's "Drury."
  13. I'll be comparing him to Drury. Granted he has a Cup to live up to. From what I've seen lately, Pominville has it in him, and Hodgson can be his first mate. Drury's accomplishments with the Sabres will be surpassed, by Pominville, I think.
  14. I think you'll find that comparing Pominville to Drury as a captain is not a joke. I don't do stats, but maybe I should, in reference to Hodgson, of course.
  15. Hodgson, Ennis, and Pominville are the captains of their respective lines.
  16. But, even the employees at NCW will admit, that the money is better spent at Campus Wheel Works, on Elmwood, where they know bicycle parts, or Ricks on Allen, who are Raleigh fiends. You younger men and women are also more likely to meet hot ladies at either Buffalo store, than you are through mail order companies.
  17. '91 Bianchi Broadway. Red. $25 paid for frame. Alfine 8spd rear hub. Alfine generator front hub. Both hand built wheels. SKS fenders. Winter Beater '05 Bianchi Volpe. Green. 28spd. Schmidt dynamo. CR18 rims, and double butted spokes, on hand-built wheels. Front and rear racks. Touring Bike 79' Custom Sutter. Red-white-and blue. Reynolds 531. Handmade in France. $65 at garage sale. Hand-built tubular wheels on Wolber Aspen rims ($2 ea. at Amvets) I've got a three bike personal limit, but also have a wife: '69 Raleigh Competition, purple, paid $100, w/ tubular wheels '66 Raleigh Superbe, green, paid $25 w/ Brooks Saddle '89 Bridgestone CB-1, black, paid $35 Steel-frame lugged bikes are awesome, but the age of being able to find them for next to nothing is OVER, in my experience.
  18. Did you really believe that Pommers would be a better captain than Drury?
  19. He's top 9 for us. If we can replace him with a similar physical presence, with more offensive upside, then great. But we're talking 6 mil. per year now, unless we replace him with Gaustad, who has less offensive upside, imo. I think we should be paying more attention to the small creative center, shooter, puck possessor formula. There's a lot of room in the center of the ice, and a small center has the same skates, but is able to turn harder and faster on the same ice as a heavier man. Any physicists out there to prove my point for me?
  20. +1 Just being there, not necessarily interfering, and letting her feelings go through their natural course. She will appreciate you letting her find her way through her own feelings in this situation, from my experience, slowly losing a father in law.
  21. "You're not my coach!" Kassian's too busy fighting his inner demons to deal with hockey right now.
  22. I'm looking for a "waterbug" type comment out of Nix or Gailey pre-draft, as a hint to whom they'll be taking. The receiver who is "uncovered even when he's covered," is the closest thing to a hint that I've seen so far, but I'm sure it all depends on how the draft pans out, and who is available at the pick. Floyd looks very good on tape, to my untrained eye. By tape, I mean YouTube.
