Damn...that is a tough road to travel...better than ALS tho.

so crazy how I have never even heard of most of these people and they are loaded beyond imagination.

Power for sure... If Mitts continues to improve into a 65-75 point player, then he will get one too most likely.

Wow...get 'er done! A little higher than the $10 million being bandied about but whatever....dude is going to win 2-3 Norris Trophies before it's all said and done.

Lots of goals and many times looking other teams look ridiculous on the penalty kill?

Hmm...Benson will be theist? That's an interesting take...do you have any evidence to back up this claim? Do you know what church he goes to or what denomination he is? Is he up for sainthood? Please tell us more...

I feel a little better...I graduated in 93 😂

Our Favorite Fighting Frenchman is out for the game...

Benson is obviously making this team. Don't think he would be practicing with the 1st and 2nd PP units the last two days if the plan wasn't for him to be there opening night, wouldn't make any sense.

Predictions in bold.

Uh, no it isn't...if I were to foolishly go and bet the Jags to beat the Bills it's +200, meaning if I bet $100 I win $200... It seems that spread bets or over/under bets are equal on both sides tho? Is that what you mean?

Mine was an Apple IIe with the monochrome monitor and the giant floppy disk with no hard drive...I thought it was the coolest thing of all time when my parents bought me a little converter box that I hooked up from the computer to the TV that displayed it in color instead of on the monochrome monitor... Then I was so bummed out when I went to my friends house and he had a Commodore 64 with a color monitor and all the cool games the Apple IIe never had.

Benson...I might be dating myself with that reference... There was a sitcom on TV in the late 70s to mid 80s called "Benson" where Benson DuBois(played by Robert Guillaume) started as a Butler/head of household for the governor and ended up running against his "boss" for governor in the final season of the show... It was a pretty funny show, remember watching it with my parents several times growing up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benson_(TV_series)

I'd take the over and will go bet some money on it. Wait what?? How the hell are both sides of the over/under minus money? F that...why the hell would I bet 115 dollars to win 100?

Numbers really...they have quality Dlinemen and someone is going to have to sit, usually 1 interior and 1 edge guy...Ford will play, just has to wait his turn for a bit.

"Red Alert, Red Alert! It's a Catastrophe! But don't worry! Don't panic! Ain't nothin' goin' on but history, yeah... But it's alright! Don't panic! And the music keeps on playing on and on... And the music keeps on playing on and on..."

Goalies back in that timeframe basically put up numbers similar to UPL does now...high .890 save percentages and 3.5ish GAA's...

Uh...were you here in August when we had multiple days where it never reached 70? Honestly September and October so far were much better.

"The Butler" is likely making this roster...I don't see how they don't keep him up.

weather in WNY has been pretty stellar the last week with temps in the mid 70s then upper 70s and then 85 yesterday and today. The bad news is Lake Erie water temperature is at an all-time record for this time of year at 70 degrees and is the first time it's ever been recorded at 70 or higher in October. A very strong El Nino is supposed to help save us from a lot of snow due to unseasonable warmth during the winter, but if we get a cold spell in mid November lake snows could be brutal again...

I think its time to pull the plug on the UPL experiment...dude has been given every chance you could ever want and even many he hasn't earned or deserved. He just doesn't have it and likely never will.

could you imagine if the NFL was like that? How is Tre doing? Oh, he has a lower body injury and will miss some time.

Mitts seems to have finally found his role in terms of what he is best at doing and has started doing it more consistently. This year could be an even bigger leap for him as I don't think he found that until midway through the season. Could be a 70-80 point player if he starts that from the beginning of the year.

Benson also seems to instinctively know in a way that can't be taught how to influence a defender WITHOUT the puck on his stick which is one of the rarest qualities of all. Some of the highlight clips I watched prior to the draft showing things he did in games in this regard were almost magical.

Gotta have someone on this team that is nicknamed "The Butler"!! Can only imagine the versatility on the goal calls... "The Butler answered!" (to tie it late) "The Butler just slammed the door shut!" (after an EN goal) "The Butler just stole their car keys!" (after a shortie)
