In what world is Pardy a top-6 defenseman? :blink:

I agree with you 100% that is why ESPN only has still pics. What I was wondering, is why other networks can't show highlights after a period of hours has passed. Wouldn't it work in NBC's favor if someone who stumbled across highlights on ESPN, may then tune in NBC for future events? Despite NBC's thousands of hours of coverage on 4 different channels, do they have a 30 minute highlight show of the days events?

Couldn't sleep last night around 2AM. Got up and flipped on sportscenter to see some Olympic highlights only to realize that all ESPN could show was still pics from the days events! WTF! I could see them not being allowed to show highloghts in the afternoon/evening, but once everything has concluded for the day. Why not?

I remember after it was announced that the world juniors were coming here(late 2008??), how awesome it would be if the casino/hotel and canalside were done by that time. :( While the canals are being done this summer, I am nervous about how long it will be before anything is built around them. After all, putting a few colored adirondack chairs was the "heralded" progress for 2011.

Is there a 100 year plan in place in terms of road construction on I90 in and around Erie? I only go through there once or twice a year, and going back 15-20 years, it seems like there is always construction either east or west bound, and usually the kind that causes gridlock. :angry:

I am not sure condos in this space is going to be a retail make or break. There are plenty of condos down by the Erie Basin Marina, and they can't/won't support one restaurant that has gone from Crawdaddys to Shanghai Reds to Templeton Landing, and is still empty most days. There are plenty of downtown opportunities for developers who want to build condos. I'd give Pegs the first chance. Who knows, if successful, he may be willing to invest in other Canalside ventures.

I could swear I posted this, but I guess not... Men's FIeld Hockey? Seriously? Even worse is that they are forced to run around hunched over because they are playing with sticks designed for players half their height.

Not sure if this is directed at me, but you state Leino has never been asked to play defense, then I question you on it, you say you were exaggarating(if you say so), then the above post. If I am once again interpreting your posts incorrectly, I'm sure you will be quick to correct me.

Leino never had to play defense on the wing? Do you have proof of this, or is this just a statement being made to excuse Leino from his craptacular 11-12 season?

That was my point. For some reason, certain posters want to ignore the Leino experiment at center during the 11-12 season.

"No Mas" Leino? The guy who was only interested in playing center when a contract was in play? Seriously? :lol:

Ummmm, maybe its because all the US games are lopsided. Is that supposed to be "must see TV"? PS Oh by the way, I have no interest in the NBA, so you are correct, that also plays into my feelings on this.

I will not watch USA Mens Basketball unless I turn it on,and they happen to be getting their ###### kicked. What a joke.

Having subsidized housing on the waterfront(Marine Drive Apartments) is way worse than the skyway. The skyway...I know it is a longer route to downtown without it, but there is plenty of access to the 90 from Hamburg and points south. If you really want that straight shot, take Rte. 5 in, and then hop on Ohio St. to downtown. The more that gets developed underneath and around the skyway, the less likely it is ever to come down.

Who plays the role of the 3rd line center if you don't bring in a player like Arnott?

Peters was the 7th pick of the 2nd round. ;) Still a horrendous pick, but not a first rounder.

Knowing the city can never get out of its own way, I am convinced they will choose Crazy Carl, Pegula becomes pissed off, and shys away from any future waterfront opportunites.

He doesn't take any money out of my wallet. I enjoy reading the comments in response to his blogs more so than the blogs themselves. I think more people(not necessarily you) at SS visit his website than want to admit. Bashing the site is just the trendy thing to do around here.

Once again, who cares? It is a message board.

Good question...I miss the days of BamBam(I think it was him) starting hockeybuzz threads on a regular basis. What makes hockeybuzz rumors any worse than a SS poster proposing outrageous trades or "sign this guy" posts? I check hockeybuzz once a day or every couple days. Who cares!

I love her in one photo and hate her in the next. What's her problem? :)

"Marty" on TCM right now.

What's the stroy with Jason Arnott? Seems like he could be a decent 1 year stop gap as a 3rd line center for the Sabres. Nothing left in the tank? Wants a multi-year deal? Wants to stay in St. Louis or go back to a city he previously played in? He will turn 38 at the start of the season, but despite his age, put up 17 goals and 34 points last season.

I like "Grigs" for Grigorenko and "Z" for Girgensons.

Fixed your post.
