  1. Okposo with an impressive burst of speed
  2. My only problem is that if he makes the wrong read or over-commits, he is helplessly out of the play. I'd like a goalie who can recover
  3. Lehner looks like he's been working on things, and shows signs of improvement. Sprawling on loose pucks quickly, locating rebounds...
  4. Nice, Dan- first time I ever heard an announcer say "OH WHAT A SHOT!" on a pretty average wrist shot that doesn't score. hmm
  5. So how does it work? The first person to flinch (or "panic," as stated in the above post) will end up setting the market? So what do we think- who flinches first, a buyer or a seller?
  6. I worry this is the case. He does come across as being a bit to emotionally sensitive. Really reminds me of a guy I used to work with (right down to vegan-beard). Look and mannerisms similar, and very sensitive/passive-aggressive
  7. 2:10 possession time in o-zone
  8. A guy I used to work with drove up from the city to see the Stones at Rich Stadium way back when- he told me he told his mom he was just going to Albany. He was shocked when he realized how much further he had to go ;)
  9. It's not dumb. It's just perception/nomenclature. Where I live, "upstate NY" is the most succinct way to describe my origins. If it doesn't bother me, don't let it bother you ;)
  10. My conversations usually go like this: "I grew up upstate" "where exactly upstate?" "Buffalo" "oh... that's WAY upstate!"
  11. I hear "upstate" regularly referring to everything in NYS that not NYC, LI, Westchester or Rockland counties. I've actually even hear Nyack referred to as upstate. I routinely refer to myself as from "upstate" without batting an eye. If I were to tell most people in NYC that I'm from "western NY," they say "you mean Jersey?"
  12. I heard about that, as well, through the grapevine. Also lifestyle incongruities between ownership and XGMTM
  13. geographically, I suppose it can be argued either way, but I feel the culture/vibe of the two are the most similar of any other NYS cities
  14. It won't happen, but if we could do Halak for Lehner, I will jump up and down cheering
  15. Not trying to weigh-in on either side, but just saying- wouldn't be far fetched to assume O'Reilly's kid is not on his mind during a post-win night out in Calgary, etc.
  16. Aha, a mid-season loss to a team in the playoff hunt, and voila! You are completely vindicated!
  17. Think twice about that #timesup
  18. He won't as a GM... maybe as a director of scouting
  19. I'm hoping the Sabres start playing at a pace which would have made them a "bubble" team, had they played that way the entire year. I don't care what that does to our draft position. It's time they showed us some good hockey, and I think they do have the talent to do so.
  20. I've been called "selfish" many times... ...but this is the first time I've been called it for wanting my favorite team of all of sports (since I was 6 years old) to win games... If that makes me selfish, I'm guilty as charged! But I really wish some people here could see this in a little more nuanced, less black-and-white fashion. Too many are literally of the opinion that it's either playoffs or race for 31st. Honestly, I just think it's an overly simplistic view of the dynamics of building of winning team.
  21. Some of us begrudge people who call themselves "fans" who cannot enjoy a win. I'm on the fence between begrudging and attributing it to some minor psychosis... Changing names to Swedish is fun. The fact you actually use it to try to call me a hypocrite is pretty weak. I hope I don't need to explain more why I'm not a hypocrite; I trust you're bright enough to figure it out.
  22. I hope more people here start to realize this. Some people here are like heroine addicts with their high-draft-pick fetish. You can beat this addiction. Winning will help. I know it's hard at first.
  23. Ausgezeichnet
  24. I think they're all believing they can play like this consistently, and are motivated to show the home fans they can.
