    I wonder if they cover rent. I'll bet they have some type of minimal stoped for food as well. 

    They have to get a per diem/travel stipend. But I've traveled a lot for work (you know, Star Destroyers and all) and being away from the home and family for 5 days in a row puts a lot of stress on everyone involved. And if you're not providing the income that allows to supplement your absence (e.g., childcare because the spouse also needs a full-time job), these guys have to be doing it out of love of the game and competition. And the "maybe one day". That's really admirable.

    While the Sabres marketing teams don’t always nail it... I have to give them credit for the t-shirts on the seats. It looks amazing. That was a brilliant idea.

    Go Buffalo.. 

    It does look great. And brightens up the arena. And... as always.... "How will we get all the people to move to Chia Earth?" "Free t-shirts."

    Granted, these are only free with admission.

    As of publication, the ECHL has a $13,260 weekly salary cap for 20 players and minimum player salary of $500 per week.”

    So 13,260/20 would be a maximum of $663/week if everyone is paid equally. Yikes, that's low pay for a job that requires travel every other week.

  4. Nice to see CJ Smith and Leier (and Burton, too although I'm completely unfamiliar with him) back in the lineup. Even with those reinforcements, the Amerks still dressed 7 D last night. Was Casey Fitzgerald still playing wing? Good on him to stay in the lineup since the D-corps is stacked.

    What's really fun is their record while missing all those forwards. (And still missing Wilson, Elie, Thompson, and Asplund. Although getting Asplund in an Amerks sweater might not happen again.)

    Is there a more disappointing cheese than Monterey Jack?

    It evokes images of maidens in frocks on a wind swept cliffsides, or high danger surf areas.

    But in the end, it's really just plain ol' American cheese in block form.

    Even Pepper Jack is just a lame attempt to make a lame cheese somewhat interesting by putting substandard pepper chunks in it to keep me interested.

    Monterey Jack is all about the melt. You don't put it on your charcuterie board or serve it straight up, but when you melt it and you don't have to worry about stringy globs catching in your mouth or an mess of oil on the top of your dish. It can also blend nicely --- use the cheddar for the kick, use the jack for the smooth melt. Use the mozzarella for the stretch, use the jack for the slack.

    He is an extremely skilled/talented player.  I’m not going to try to sell him though because I actually think there are some character/off ice concerns there.  But if the cost is Scandella or Bogo, I’m in I guess.

    A rental F for a rental D? That uses our surplus to our advantage, even if don't include Galchenyuk in any long-term plans. But... as to character... we can't afford anyone to float. We're not talented enough to cover for the one guy who just shows up once in awhile.
