  1. This was the knock against EJ coming out of FSU, he had accuracy problems. Will be interesting to see how that limits him going forward. I do hope he continues to succeed but these have been 2 tough games to win and we need to dominate a Jets team that IMPO is not all that good. Long way to go but at least EJ has shown good signs.

     

    I watched him play a ton at Florida State (I'm an ACC guy) and accuracy was never a big problem with him from what I saw. His worst year in college he completed over 65%. He had a rough game against Florida last year, but otherwise looked good the whole year. I saw him beat my team (Virginia Tech) with a last minute drive, which rarely happens against a Bud Foster coached defense.

  2. It's not as bad as John Murphy saying "the most underrated play of the game was the two point conversion" about 5 minutes after the game.

     

    Murphy was yelling "and the Bills tie it up!" after the go-ahead extra point... he had to be reminded that the Bills were actually ahead. Oof.

  3. That is sweet!

     

    Also and being from Nashville LPF or Potato (they were one in the same right?) Talked to the GF last night and it is a go for Sabres Predators in March, pretty excited.

     

    Also even though the weather sucks I am heading to Atlanta tonight with the case of beer I have in my trunk for some fun partying!

     

    Come one, come all for the Sabres vs. Preds down here in Nashville on Thursday, March 27th. I'll buy 6 or 8 tickets behind the Sabres bench if I can. Last time the Sabres were down here there was a pretty big contingent of Sabres fans... we had a lot of fun pre-gaming with all sorts of random Sabres fans!

  4. Nice list of breweries, including many I've never heard of. Of the ones I'm familiar with I wouldn't miss New Belgium, Southern Tier, Lagunitas, Stone, Sweetwater and Oskar Blues

     

    Southern Tier has started showing up in bars and restaurants down here as of late. A couple of the local TN breweries on the list that I highly recommend: Calfkiller (very good beers) and Yazoo. A few of the brewers I've never heard of (Czann's, BFM, Good People). I'm looking forward to trying some new ones!

    Organizational Ranking: 3rd

     

    System Overview

    The Sabres boast an elite farm system, anchored mainly by their past two draft classes. Grigorenko is a star prospect, and Buffalo's top five or six prospects are extremely strong. The system's depth is slightly above average, and their pipeline has a lot of players who are close to NHL-ready, which the struggling Sabres sorely need.

     

    Been a while since our system has been this stocked with legitimate prospects, although many of them are still very young. And, we have a bunch more picks again this year, which we can add to if/when we trade Miller and Vanek. As much as I despise Darcy, the new strategy of stockpiling picks and building from within just might pay off in a few years.
