I'm not embarrassed to admit that I fill my fridge with anything "ice". Labatt, Natty, Genny. Also not embarrassed to admit that I'm one of those geeks in the basement, quietly "infusing". Homebrew is rich in the whole B vitamin complex which your body purges during intoxication. I get stupid drunk on my basement brew with no problems tomorrow. They're also F'n delicious. I brew two cases of "premium" for the price of two cases of Natty. Charlie Papazian would be happy to teach anyone how. I like how Jack responds during interviews. Dee and Dum just interviewed pre game. Jack doesn't like their stupid jokes and it shows. Just doesn't even acknowledge that there was an attempt at humor. -------- I'm sure it's just me but damn McDavid looks like baby Lou Ferrigno.

I like this. He will forever be "Squishy Phil" in my little brain now. Being a part of an offseason out of two years of tank I'd use whatever goalies we have on contract. There will be opportunity to trade for someone if it looks like the other pieces are coming together. IMO the size of today's goalies and the amount of padding makes them more of a dime a dozen than any other position.

I agree whole heartedly. I remember the old Kahniakenhaka stories told by the old grandmas. The creator watched the people for the most part. The people lived by the kaianerakowa(Great Law of Peace). The people lived a moral life not because the creator was going to judge them. They lived a moral life because the people relied on them. They were a big part of the community. I guess you'd say that community was the religion. I don't entirely know what I'm driving at here. I guess I would relate it to the message it seems Jesus was getting at(to me)(if he did/does exist). The old grandmas used to say "The best chief is not the one who persuades the people to see his point of view. It is instead the one in whose presence most people find it easiest to arrive at the truth."

Johnson honey-badgered that one. Very nice!

Did I hear DingleDork say "Divine intervention"? Looked like a really nice save to me.

He has cleared waiver once already. I'm guessing he'd clear again. If I were Terry I would keep in the organization and pay him well whether he played, coached or just sat around. That kid has given as much as a guy could give. I wonder also if another NHL squad would change their opinion on him. Does he have value outside of buffalo?
-
If Pat's heart was still hell bent to play hockey and I had TPegs kind of money, I'd give him a big paycheck and a two way contract. Let him mentor some youth in Rochester. He would be a guy you could call up. If you weren't looking to give youth a try out. At the very least he could be our offensive counterpart to Bagnall.(who I also hope see return)

I'm not worried about the shoulder surgery at all. I've had both of mine done and both are back at 100%. It just takes hard work. Potential off I've issue? Meh. Most people grow out of that stuff as they age. Kids fantastic on ice and that's all that matters to me.

Big fat congrats to all of you moving into new homes. The wife and I are three summers into a house we built. Plagued by troubles and misery the whole time. Things are still screwed up. But...You will look at all the things YOU have done. The wildflower meadow you sowed. You'll look over the Bristol valley from your deck as you smoke your man o war down to its stump. You'll be glad you did it! Congrats! It seems natural to me. Holy schinikes! Happy Bday bio! Get yourself a good buzz on!

I chatted with the younger two a bit about whatcha growin? How's the class? The poor older girl never did say a word. She eventually did close her mouth and smile. She even nodded when I wished them good luck. Maybe she's seen Gotham?

He is responsible with puck. Enough grit to bang out a few weeks in the NHL if needed. An easy call up in my mind.

My neighbor has a few 4H classes going on at her property. She is doing a cooking class and thought it would be nice to have a big garden so the kids can grow their own food to cook. I've been taking my tractor, plow and cultivators up for the last 3 weeks and have a pretty nice plot all set for them. I just get home from work so I'm filthy, stinky and tired and there's this knock at the door. I abandon my plan to shower temporarily and answer it. There are three little kids standing there each with something in their hand. They are all deer in the headlights, staring at me. No one says a word. The boy(obviously the youngest of the bunch) finally says "geez Tara!" (She was the oldest and I'm guessing the elected spokesman for the group and is still just staring) "we came to thank you for the garden, mister!" The other two snap out of it and all three give me the hand made cards they brought over. Very cute. Very awesome that there are some kids that can find an interest in something other than a screen. I am proud that I could help them. I wonder if they will bring me some of that food they eventually cook?

Hmmmm. God loves questioning. This strikes me in a particular way. I heard a calling to serve long ago as a boy. I was even voted most likely to become a priest by my parish. I was wild though, man. Friggin wild. I was always devoted and paid close attention to any homily that quoted Jesus. I felt a kinship there. He seemed like the sort that never fell to opinion. I liked that. My wild nature has lead me down some hard paths. I have enough artificial implants to cause any future anthropologist to conclude that the people of our time were nuts. I work in conditions that most people would not be able to handle. I will continue to do so until retirement at which time I will self induce my strife. Someday when my maker feels the time is right I will close my eyes and curl up in that Mighty Hand and bask in the glory of those things I can not now see. I will wipe away my tears of joy after a while and say "Send me back. This time I want it to be harder and more arduous. More pain and suffering please." For now I will continue to serve in this capacity that I have been chosen to serve. That was the calling that I heard as a boy.

Sabres Discussing Bringing More Amerks Games to Buffalo
Ogre replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
I've never liked the city owning the arena itself. It would seem odd for the actual memorial being privately owned though. Rebuild the memorial part somewhere else? It should really be in open space where any one can visit at any time. -
Sabres Discussing Bringing More Amerks Games to Buffalo
Ogre replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
How would the war memorial be handled in a sale? Does that make the city(Lovely) look like an ass if they can't maintain a memorial?! FWIW I'd love for the Pegulas to own the space. -
Sabres Discussing Bringing More Amerks Games to Buffalo
Ogre replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
I wouldn't renew my season seats. Why pay more for less? IMO the city can't manage this venue. The building could use some work and the city can't provide for that. Maybe TP is in the market for a gently used AHL arena in the Rochester area. This one looks available. With the rich Calder history here, could there ever be a Buffalo Americans? -
I started in on cigars in earnest four years ago. I think that you will find you like many. I bought a small humidor and just keep experimenting. I use cigars international. I've been buying samplers until recently.(you will learn both what you like and what you will throw in the fire) I suggest a full humidor, some Google research and a lot of campires, nights on the deck and many many beers. Good luck bro.
-
I only have room for 50 so I was trying samplers for a while. I've learned that I like coronas mostly. I like to keep some toros for when I am drunkish. They seem to be easy to burn in that state. I've been filling my stores with man o war and macanudo recently. There are a few red dots and a couple unwrapped Cubans. I don't mind a longer smoke if it's really good. No preference to origin, strength or wrapper as long as it stays on the damn thing. I've been tempted to try some of those ugly unwrapped sticksI see. They look tasty.

I agree not every Dman needs to be a bone crusher. Pysyk is definitely a good hockey player. I tetered on trade bait simply because I've seen a lot of him in Rochester and I haven't been sold on him. I've been a big critic of McCabe but I feel he has a brighter NHL future than Pysyk does. IMO I like to have the option of which new Dman is better. These are good times for the Sabres. BTW. I hope I am wrong about Pysyk. I like the kid.
-
I tried my first Alec Bradley the other day. Very nice. I agree with sabills about Gurkhas. They are not necessarily a bad smoke. The ones I've had in the occasional sampler have been fat ole sticks. Good Lord. I don't have that kind of time. Ever. I'm glad this thread was resurrected. Even if I don't post much I will be reading. I'm tired of the some old smokes. What have you got for me try?
-
I am in the same boat here. I question his durability. I know this may be unpopular but Rudy has been more effective and more durable IMO. There is no way I would want him on the top four. His positioning is good and he does jump into offensive plays. He just doesn't have that mean streak I expect a Dman to have. IDK. I like the kid. He needs to find it and find it fast.

The people that post here are hands down the most accepting of any forum that I have ever attempted to become a part of. I am an odd fellow who lives an odd life. I probably say odd things at times(or all the time)and for the most part folks have been very kind to me. The hockey IQ here is top notch. My odd life does not afford me a lot of opportunity to post. I say what I can when I have the time to say it. I've never even seen the term "noob" used here until this thread. That says a ton about the quality of people here.

The last three goals sums that up nicely bro!

Jedi like patience with Toews.

Pow! What a goal! Love it. 1-1.
