Royal blue goathead would be dynamite!

1. George Carlin 2. Eddie Izzard Honorable mentions Bill Burr (although "paper tiger" wasn't as strong as earlier stuff). Kevin Bridges Limmy Tom Segura Tim Minchin

Reykjavik and the surrounding area are nice. I cant wait to go back.

Is it a link to this article? https://buffalonews.com/sports/sabres/how-the-sabres-use-analytics-q-a-with-jason-nightingale-assistant-director-of-scouting/article_8b1189d4-d1b5-11ea-b9e1-9f13799724e3.html

For us non wny-ers. What make a good wing? In scotland we get "buffalo wings" as a generic item from fast food places and these are essentially wings then doused in Frank's sauce. I assume that's not right! Also if anyone wants to share recipes for doing them at home please do ?

Exactly. Tampa are not in a position to extort anyone. If GMKA can work some magic then great, but we shouldn't be giving up the most.

IMPO tampas ask for cirelli is at least Joki. They need low cost players.

Probably better than whoever Botts would've selected :-D

Yeah, he mentioned on the locked on sabres podcast that he would be writing a "what if" article about trades. The preface being that the sabres are not looking trade.

Me not do reading goodly! ?

Apologies if mentioned in other thread. Looks like December for Sabres action in NHL. Last date for SC 2 Oct. Draft 6 October.

@IKnowPhysics If we're talking the beer equivalent of "turn off the brain" Arnie movie my list would be. Yes (in order of preference) Drygate Bearface Lager Sainsbury's "Czech" (supermarket own brand, brewed by staropramen) West Brewing St. Mungo Michelob Ultra Red Stripe Corona (really cheap right now for some reason ?) No Tennants Budwieser Miller GD Heineken Becks Stella Artois Makes me sound picky, but if its nice day with feet in the paddling pool and the bbq on I'll most likely drink most haha.

Introducing "Leon" Another cracking Pale Ale from The Williams Brothers easily my favourite brewers. This is a nice summery one. Cascade and Citra hops with lime and elderflower. Subtle, not punch in the face.

I learned to make bagels today. That was nice.

What would you be expecting as Dudley's role (as opposed to title)? Would he fit into the new scouting structure? Maybe "player evaluation". (I know little of his previous role and expertise, so this is a general query about where people could see him fit).

One of the kids I teach has family there so visits regularly and tells me good things.

That would be awesome!

New doggo soon. Need to wait until he's 8 weeks til we pick him up (12 days from now). None of my sneak Sabres names have been accepted by Mrs and Jnr ?Dylan and Jeff(!) Were actually in contention for a while.

Vegas possibly out of contention as potential hub city. Could be all in Canada (of it still goes ahead). https://985thesportshub.com/2020/06/30/report-vegas-no-longer-a-frontrunner-as-nhl-hub-city/

Oo, tell me more....

We have an advantage of being a small and spread out country to be fair. Masks are worn on public transport. Only recently have we been allowed to meet with another families outside and with social distancing. Everyone (almost) seems to be getting on with it reasonably well. Track and trace is only coming into effect this week or last I think. First Minister has been more strict than our London overlords and looks like it has paid off. edit to add: also its been raining here since February and nothing is open so most folk have been staying at home lol.

In positive news, over here in Scotland we have had 4 days and no covid deaths!

Rossi is my hope, but I am getting good vibes on Lundell. I think he would fit perfectly into the roster with Jack and Dylan. Some great info on Lundell via Devils SBNation page (blame google). https://www.allaboutthejersey.com/2020/4/3/21199181/anton-lundell-2020-nhl-draft-prospect-profile-potentially-elite-all-around-center-out-of-liiga-hifk Highlights Kournianos likes Lundell’s defensive game as many others do, but he’s also pretty high on his offensive game, citing his strength and decisiveness which allows him to back off defenders and push through contact, even in a league where he is one of the youngest players. Will scouch Anton Lundell might not have a massive ceiling, but he could be a fantastic two-way centre who may not get fans out of their seats often, but he could be a person hockey nerds and coaches alike love. He pushes possession extremely well and should be a valuable NHLer for years, if not on boxes of cereal across the league. Over at The Hockey Writers, Chris Faria pushes back on some of the assessments that question the ceiling for Lundell. This profile emphasizes his elite hockey sense and smarts as a player that puts him in the right spots on the ice to consistently make plays.

Pickwise, if Rossi is gone as many suspect then I like what I am reading about Lundell. Needs to work on skating, but a solid and reliable 2 way C. http://www.mynhldraft.com/2020-nhl-draft/player-profiles/Anton-Lundell

The transparency is most definitely an issue.
