  1. According to this site Eichel averages 48.1 seconds per shift, 5th on the team behind Ennis, Kane, O'Reilly and Gionta. 108th ranked in the NHL. http://www.sportingcharts.com/nhl/stats/average-ice-time-per-shift/2015/
  2. Forgot Lonerider, good beers there too. Brewery right by the airport. I've only been to Trophy a few times and they had solid beers.
  3. Wicked weed Pernicious IPA or Freak of nature double IPA or really anything you find by them are must tries. Foothills, draft line, aviator, triangle, devils backbone, highland, big boss, deep river and white street are all local-ish breweries with solid offerings.
  4. I had the pleasure of enjoying an incredible beer this past weekend. Silencio from Wicked Weed. A soured black ale aged in bourbon barrels and brewed with coffee and vanilla. Every part of that complex mingling of ingredients, wood and yeast came through in aroma, flavor or both. Absolutely fantastic. http://wickedweedbrewing.com/silencio-release/
  5. I think it's actually a blonde ale, but I think the yellow lager / light ale profile is exactly what they were going for in terms of mass appeal.
  6. And in a league that tries to promote parity at every turn, it's teams like Buffalo, Cleveland and Detroit that are done no favors being victims of unintentional officiating bias. I'm convinced these types of teams get screwed more often simply because of who they are and have been for so long, not as a result of some grand conspiracy. Of course there are also internal problems with all these franchises that don't help either, but when the games are as close as they are and can turn on a single play, these are the teams that can least afford the inconsistent calls and flat out screw ups from the refs. It seems as though only an overwhelming talent infusion and/or a unprecedented season long string of good fortune is likely to turn things around. The Bills of course have even less tolerance for bias and errors, starting every year behind the 8 ball at 0-2 in the division and conference before they even play a single down.
  7. Alberta is Carrion strong.
  8. Because Cleveland, Because Detroit, Because Buffalo.
  9. Since your original point referenced Brady specifically, you know the GOAT. Then yes I am.
  10. Most QBs picked at the top of the draft can't hold Bradys jock. Dumb luck.
  11. Agreed, and for the Bills to get a Brady like QB coming to the rescue would be relying on dumb luck, just like the Patriots.
  12. It's more than a QB even, although that would certainly go a long way. Rotten culture, deep pervasive ineptitude, and the perception of the Bills as "the Bills" all over the league (read: officials) needs to be overcome. That requires overwhelming talent to erase, like we had 88-94.
  13. Vince Lombardi couldn't coach the Bills to the playoffs at this point. Pegula "meddling" to any extent is inconsequential.
  14. I love how PA swoops in with his Pegula hate. The Bills situation is so beyond Pegula.
  15. It's beyond ownership, new GMs or coaches. 16 years means something. Dumb luck is the only way out.
  16. Bills inept legacy....
  17. Classic Bills.
  18. Fire the challenge guy!
  19. The challenge guy for the Bills fired.
  20. So a local favorite NC watering hole has One Buffalo on tap, but not having an official handle they improvised over a Pumpking handle.
  21. I know I'm a pussified fan and all that, but Bills, playoffs and coasting taken together is Jim Mora worthy stuff.
  22. Happy Thanksgiving from the man cave. In laws inside. Beer and football outside. I'm thankful.
