It's funny that the product manufacturers still use the term, and it's widely used in our industry. I'm not here for a fight though... I guess I'll have to take it down.

Here's an example of a manufacturer using slowing down timing in their product literature. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.eaton.com/ecm/idcplg%3FIdcService%3DGET_FILE%26allowInterrupt%3D1%26RevisionSelectionMethod%3DLatestReleased%26Rendition%3DPrimary%26dDocName%3DPCT_1130880&ved=2ahUKEwiUu-_23bPwAhUSB50JHZ2jDdcQFjAAegQIBhAC&usg=AOvVaw0wlfvo4gjC9mq5lED5zNsc&cshid=1620259233741 Variations of timing characteristics and sequences can be programmed for a maximum of four operations. When a recloser is programmed for both fast and retarded operations, the fast operations – involving no intentional time delay – occur first in the sequence according to the recloser’s A curve time-current characteristic. Slowing down operations are according to the recloser’s B or C time-current curve (B, C, or D curve for Types E, 4E, and L). See Time Current Curves R280-91-10 for Type E reclosers; R280-91-8 for Type 4E; R280-91-1 for Type H; R280-91-2 for Types 4H, V4H, 6H, and

Didn't watch it, but we use this term in Electrical Engineering all the time as the definition of a slower circuit trip timing. And i don't think theres a better rhyming word out there.

For anyone following the U18 World Championships Connor Bedard is leading a stacked Canada team in scoring as a double-minor (2 year under-ager). He is likely to be the next in line to follow the Crosby to McDavid line of "generational players". Anyhow, I'm laying out the tank motto for him on this early... And by slow-down i mean play bad... not the derogatory meaning. Too bad the Sabres will be a top team in the league by the time hes draft eligible. 🤠

Is there another team that gives him a more realistic shot at playing in the show than us? I would say we're among the league leaders in lack of goalie depth.

If practice squads are still a thing, we'll need at least 5 goalies between the NHL and ROC, right? I'd put him in ROC with UPL and put Tokarski on the practice squad. Based on what they've seen in practice, I'd guess the team knows more about him that what we've seen in the last 2 games.

I'm not super well traveled, but I've had all the supposed best pizza styles from around North America and I'll take WNY pizza over them all. Unfortunately, that is not an option for us Canadians right now. But i know what I'm doing as soon as the border opens.

Given the rag tag group he had in front of him in Rochester, we might want to give him the benefit of the doubt. His prior stats were good.

For the experts out there (especially those that say we can do better than Granato), I'm wondering what kind of system does Gallant run? He's the one guy i dont know enough about to completely count out. Also, were the Knights that much better off under him than DeBoer? Other than being a big name... sell me on him. Not saying I'm buying, but I'd at least like to hear more.

From an actual systems perspective, I like the North-South quick movement Granato seems to be teaching offense wise. Personally, i think there's no better way to generate scoring chances than to keep opposing team numbers in your favour. It doesnt even have to be an odd-man rush... You'll score way more 2 on 2 than if you wait until its 5 on 5 in the zone. That was the number 1 reason for Ralphs ineffectual offensive. What style do the other prospective candidates typically run?

Other than the ATM line, the rest of the team has lost the jump they had when Granato first took over. Dahlin had some plays early on that looked slow by my beer league's equivalent.

What's with all the doomsday talk in here? Also, with the Allen-Eichel comparisons, the QB position is the one position in the 4 major sports that can far and away affect the teams' outcomes more than any other. Couple that with having possiblity the league's best target to throw to. If Eichel as a playmaker had the same effect over the game as a QB, and the team brought in Alexander Ovechkin (hockey's Stefon Diggs equivalent) to finish his plays for him, we'd be talking about the 2nd coming of Mark Messier.

I've had an account here for a while, but I've only been posting semi-regularly for the last couple of months. I'm on some skiing forums where the members plan meetups several times a year at different mountains around North America. I've never joined in, but would do so if i had more vacation time off work. After a few beers tonight, i was thinking if/when the Sabres ever made the playoffs again, I'd probably want to head across the border and celebrate with fellow fans. Have any of the old-timer board members here ever gotten together for that sort of thing?

When will Caggulia get the Eakin treatment? I'd rather see Fogarty in there.

As a casual football fan, I dont get the hype.

Is everyone who normally posts one here watching the draft? 😴

Maybe you're seeing something I'm not, but I really haven't liked Caggulia. What is it you like?

Samuelson is too slow. He needs to get faster to be a legit NHL D.

The locker style wheelie bags most kids use are pretty big and bulky. I know one kids team that banned them because the rink they played out of had really small dressing rooms. With carry bags, they could put them under the bench.

In my opinion, we're not even close to being the worst team in the league right now. This team getting a top pick in the draft has to be some sort of concession from the hockey gods for the undue pain inflicted by Ralph.

My daughter is the smallest of the small and was out of her wheelie bag by Peewee... Even with all the extra crap she keeps in there (old jerseys, extra clean/dirty undergear, backup equipment in case a friend forgets hers...).

Peewee is too old too. Atom/Squirt would be the limit.

If you want to play with the surgeon analogy, would you want to go under the knife with someone that killed their last patient? ☠️

How come?

I'm sure he'll be fine in another year or two, but in my dissenting opinion, he hasn't looked so good at the NHL level. Small sample size, and its tougher to assess D unless you're specifically following them (which I haven't) but I've noticed him standing still more than I'd like, and he seems slow to make the outlet pass. I think he might be better off finishing the season in ROC even if he's still better than Irwin.
