    I am one of those people. But then what I thought was fashionable back then and what I like now has changed so I think it's okay to be more accepting of them now. The fact that this is an alternate only definitely plays into the opinion.  No way in hell should the original ever go away.

    Looking at the site and the images it appeared there were some differences in the crest.  But I can't say for certain.  I know the Fanatics are sized S-XXL whereas the authentics are numeric sizing (50,52,54).  I imagine they are cut a bit different.

    Ok, I'm hoping that the images they have online are just low-resolution digital realizations. Will report back.

    I'm not really superstitious...but. 

    Quantum mechanics has shown that particles are affected by merely measuring their state. So if a particle can be impacted by one person making an observation, what happens when thousands of people focus on one outcome?

    Just sayin'

     

     

     

    I thought that's because in order to observe a particle, a photon has to bounce off of it and back to whatever is observing/measuring it. The photon hitting it thus alters it's location/velocity/etc. Is this correct, physics people?

     

    Upshot: we must confirm creating the 10pm thread hits the Sabres with photons

    I do not want the Sabres’ cornerstone  center’s line merely busy with the other team’s top line. And I certainly don’t want that line getting its ass kicked, which is what happened last night. That line needs to be a lot better than it was in order for this team to have a shot at 95+ points.

    I don't think one can conclude that every game will go like that, even with these lines.

     

    Every team presents unique match-ups/mismatches. Last night just happened to favor Cozens's line. Tage's line could very likely dominate many other teams' top lines. We need more time to see how these line combinations will take hold.

    Big difference between her and Marie Antoinette. The latter made the ill-fated mistake of telling French subjects, “let them eat cake” when they had no bread.

    Fun fact- the famous quote is actually "let them eat brioche." Probably translated to "cake" when culturally, less English-speaking folks were familiar with brioche. Very happy that many more are now familiar, including myself 😄

    I guess I'm in the minority. 

    I didn't hate the ending, but I thought the "regrets" theme was a weak attempt at a cliche redemption arc. Okay, Jimmy pays the price to win back Kim's favour/love. Not very original imo. Disappointing for a show that had better twists and turns along the way. 

    I guess it's the sort of "happy" ending. I personally would have preferred something darker or even a full on return to the comedic aspect as Saul, originally, was pretty much a comic relief character in Breaking Bad. 

    The B&W  also lost it's point in the end as, if Jimmy is back and redeemed,  the final scene with Kim should have gone back to colour. but whatever. It was decent tv. 

    To the bolded: didn't you catch the cigarette glow they shared at the end? I was waiting for a return to color, as well, and I thought the cigarette in color was pretty exquisite. The very first scene Kim ever appeared in, they shared a cigarette...

    On an unrelated note, I was always so nostalgic for that early episode (S2E1) where Jimmy & Kim were up to the shenanigans of scamming the stock broker. When things got real (dark), I would think about that scene, and say, "why couldn't they just go back to that?" Still makes me sad to think about... they could have had a wonderful life.

  6. Comrie is a textbook case of a goalie who appears to have the stuff to be a starter, but hasn't had an opportunity yet. These are exactly the moves you have to hit on as a GM if you want your team to break through, and KA went for it.

    The fact that people have already made up their minds about him shows, IMO, a real lack of real-world understanding of how teams get built. You think an established Vezina contender is just going to fall into our lap? You think such a FA goalie will pick Buffalo out of all the offers they get? You think other teams are trading their Vezina contenders for something expendable we have to offer? This is the ideal move for this team right now, as it doesn't make-or-break us in the short-term, but could yield enormous dividends.

  7. The exciting thing is, Tage may be better than the numbers he put up this season. He may be able to play multiple entire season at the pace he did since Feb. 1. I don't think that's far-fetched.

    Can anyone recall an example, Sabre or otherwise, of a center who exploded to 1st line numbers and not maintain it for a few seasons?

    Karlsson?

    Sounds like the exception that proves the rule (Weave's point)?
