woods-racer

What are you thinking? Lining the shores of the Niagara River with ticket holding guests and releasing a wooden boat with the heads of the NHL just above the falls? Any fan willing to spend an extra $10.00 on a ceremonial torch (proceeds to the Widows and Orphans of course!) get to throw it at the wooden boat to make a Viking-esque send off over the falls? Cause I think we can make this happen.

Cool, we just need to burn the heads. Won't need near as much wood, or the rope for that matter. $10.00 is good. And of course all proceeds will benefit the children.

As long as the Sabres woes in scorning are reflected league wide, it won't be with the GM/Coach/Players. My anger will be directed to those that allow the scoring drought to continue.

And the owners have millions of bosses. It appears to me that the bosses of the owners are not going to games, just my personal observation from watching, because hockey is *boring*. If the owners gather today and ask Bettman what should be done? He is after all very highly paid employee that should know these things. I'd bet Bettman would say something like *Scoring is down and I have the solution! We will reinstate the two line pass rule, because when we had that rule there was more scoring! * That's what I think he brings to the league. North Buffalo...I got the wood and beer. Just bring the rope, torches and steaks. Oh, and some of those new fangled portable chairs that fold up and get put in a bag. Start the party around 2 and the burning at 6? Edit. Almost forgot. pA you can call me what ever you want, just don't call me late for dinner!

Bettman is an old curmudgeon that gets by on the *see how much money I keep making for you* dance every year. Change is suicide in his mind. He's not smart enough (hockey wise) to know that he needs to tweak for entertainment value. In 1929 they knew hockey was boring and changed it. I believe there was still only six owners and over diner they could make it happen, a lot different today. That's why Bettman is such a let down. He presents and gets passed rules or tweaking of rules (video replay, foot in crease) that discourage scoring. Why? Because he's hockey stupid. It's a nice day. I'm going out to gather some fire wood. Burning Bettman on a stake seems like a good why to give thanks on Thanksgiving.

I googled my thing. D4ark googled his thing. You can google your thing if it so pleases you. :angel:

Holy crap! I never knew it could be that simple. It's the whole 2 birds with 1 stone thing. Who here is good a getting petitions going? This has to happen.

I can't wait for tonight's game! Why? Because they are worth watching. Real Hockey, with good players. Life hasn't been this good in years (hockey wise). I knew it was going to be tough for them to come away with a few wins in November, all I hoped for was at the end of November they looked better than at the beginning.

Why, thank you for that Mr. D4rk.

Is this like a pA truth-ism?

Absolutely the result of analytics, in a way. Coaches use analytics as a tool to help teach players. GM's determine player value on analytics. The league has put a greater value on two way players and has a way to value a player other shots/assists/goals. The net result is a league of skilled 2 way players that are in shot lanes and blocking pucks with over-sized goalies. How on earth could shots per game and goals remain constant?

3 and 90 Second from left and far right. The Girlfriend and Mrs. ROR respectively. The one with the C on the sweater is the only one a person your age should be looking at chest level to determine sweater numbers. Being the gentlemen you are, you where polite enough to ask. Very good of you sir.

Must have caught a slipper on a TimBit coming out and around his dining room chair.

The appeased the left side and right side of Belicheat.

Please no, it can't be true. There's more than one of you?

Yes to all of it.

Lindy to the best as I could see throughout the game wasn't playing a 1-2-2 defensive game. Send 1 forechecker in to the O zone, use the other 2 forwards at the red line to make are the first pass out of the zone is along the boards and bottling up the neutral zone. That is what the Sabres where doing. Something a coach would do to try and even out the skill differential and keep the game low scoring and hope for a lucky bounce. #TedsNolanHockey

Fahrenheit is better because you know... minus anything.... it's just better to wet your self if you have pee, way better than the risk of frost bite on the Big Johnson. 0-20..... can write your name in the snow and it's gonna be around a while. 20-30 .... writing is more legible because shrinkage is less of a factor. 30-40..... your a de-icing machine. 40-50..... your looking up to the sky for airplanes or stars, no great hurry but it would be nice to get back inside. 50-70.... there's no other place I want to be than right here right now. 70-90..... watering the daisies is coined. 90 plus... sweaty junk is not a pleasant way to live.

There's a country song in there somewhere.

Ott tips the puck past Franson and has a clear 2 stride lead at the center line on him, but when Ott shoots he is only 1 stride ahead of Franson . If Franson looks like he skates in molassas, Ott skates slower than molasses. 2 post, 1 shaft and a header. I'm liking this game way more!

I like them. Unique but keeping the colors and scheme. It's not like some one had the bright idea to throw some mustard colored fabric on them....

Ouch.... And to the second, I believe this is a glove slap.

When I looked through the schedule just before the start of the season I would've put a $100.00 bet on the over of a Sabres / Stars game of 5 Goals. Just thought it would have been a fun and fast game of offensive stars ruining goalies save percentages. Saturdays game was the white bread of the bakery world.

It's a subdued conversation with the PR manager out of ear shot of any one else after the meeting. Or, just maybe he can write a letter that is worthy of his so called credentials of being a person that is able to make a living using the pen. Just a thought.

And we've can make him a map of good fishing spots.
