Looking forward to it! 218 Row 1..............Saturday's game...... Should be a good fix.

The Buffalo area is just about the fishiest place on earth! The smallmouth bass fishing in Lake Erie is unreal. Walleye fishing in Lake Erie is very very good, and Lake Ontario and the LO tribs have world class salmon and trout fishing..... but..... most of the best fishing for most of the year is accessible by boat. The upper and lower Niagara river is a tremendous fishery! Some of the best Musky fishing in the country is in the upper river......I live in Rochester, but to fill my freezer with walleyes we travel to Sturgeon Point and launch/fish there.... 35 walleyes in the last 3 trips.... not really cost effective considering all the expense, but fun and tasty! Buffalo is Hockey Fish Heaven!

Beer and Donuts, Then sprint through town with the Mounties in hot pursuit....... I'm guessing ROR isn't training with Gary Roberts. Wait! This might be a better approach!

"I'll take one to go"

I sat through the 0 - 7 Sabres / Wild game, back in January........ Wasn't sure I'd ever want to see hockey again..... but here I am very much looking forward to the scrimmage tomorrow night...... Hope Renewed!

Anybody seen a roster for camp?

We're headed up on Friday.......I think this is the 3rd year we have attended the scrimmage.

Thanks for all the response.... I'd seen them grown in N. Idaho, in much larger areas than here. But with homebrewing taking off the way it has, and micro/nano brews everywhere, I guess it makes some sense. Can't wait to sample a local product with local hops!

I'm a consumer, not a brewer... Recently, I've noticed a few hops "orchards" or "vineyards" or what ever you call a plot of land where hops are being grown..... around Rochester. They are fields of telephone poles spaced maybe 20 feet apart with wires connecting the tops of the poles in row-like fashion. The hops plants grow up wires or strings that attach from the ground, to the wires strung across the tops of the poles. If you see one of these areas you'll know. They are very unique. My question is ..... who is buying the hops being grown there? Private guys who like to brew? (Brew supply houses?) Wouldn't the taste/quality of the hops vary quite a bit?

Yes sir, Officer.... I mean your Royal Mountedness..... My General Manager packed my hockeybag..... I have no idea where that white powder came from....

He's got some growing up to do..... should buy a watch ..... and should sometimes look to make the play instead of the hit.... but darn it... I'm gonna miss the big lug..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOh9sficG7k

Is there a website to order scrimmage tickets?..... been going for the past 3 years and really enjoy the night.

quite the day..... come on October! Eichel still playing the fence......... what are the odds he returns to BU with all the excitement today?

WTF? Anybody see this coming? for 21?

Recently there has been some conversation concerning our later (21?,31?,51?) draft picks and using one of them on a goalie... and I think TN commented that the dart board method for picking a goalie was as reliable as any for choosing a goalie to draft.... if their development is so hard to predict why would we use a draft pick that might otherwise be used to reliably pick a forward or defenseman with potential, and then trade for our goalie prospects once they have a little seasoning?

In college it was all about low price..... Iron City Brewing had it's "Holiday Beer", which got pretty popular after the March following the Holiday season.

Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see. Sir Eichel: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I am not afraid.

Bridgekeeper: What... is your favourite colour? Sir Eichel: Blue. Bridgekeeper: Go on. Off you go. Sir Eichel: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. Sir Hodgson: That's easy. Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see. Sir Hodgson: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I'm not afraid. Bridgekeeper: What... is your name? Sir Hodgson: Sir Hodgson of Buffalot. Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest? Sir Hodgson: To seek the Stanley Cup. Bridgekeeper: What... is the capital of Assyria?

A few days ago there was a nine for IX on ESPN that featured the "99ers". It was produced by Julie Foundy, one of the midfielders from the Women's team of 99. It was a wonderful collection of videos and interviews of the women of that championship team. A group of the women is reassembled (in 2013???) at the Rose Bowl to be interviewed and reminisce about that season. They were very candid, and seemed to have matured into beautiful women / moms / leaders... it was a great piece watch it if/when you have time. One of the themes that struck me in the piece was the team mindset that was a huge part of their success that season. How they played for each other, and didn't want to let their teammates down. It seems like such an important aspect of winning teams. http://espn.go.com/espnw/w-in-action/nine-for-ix/article/8948907/nine-ix-film-summary-director-99ers

I think Hodgson feels entitled to play the game he's comfortable with.... and he's not to comfortable being cross checked in the back while positioned just outside the crease... or playing D..... or any form of checking. He'd be great in the new women's league. Caitlyn Hodgson..... nice ring to it.

He ha$ $hown $ome pa$t offen$ive up$ide, but I even don't like watching him play.... Little D, and no de$ire to get into the fray. No urgency. He'$ a 100 footer! I want player$ that are engaged not entitled...guys who will go to battle for each other every time..... And I don't want "entitled" to infect the attitude of linemate$ or teammate$. Ooh Rah!

Wait a minute! I thought the goal was to finish 30th!...... as predicted back in April

Dogfish Head 60's, Oskar Blues G'Knight Imperial Red IPA.....mmmmmmm
