That Aud Smell

I heard that the Pegula fail-son designed a hat or hats, and that they are hideous. Anyone have a link?

I am criticizing the position you staked out as revisionist in nature - post hoc and flawed. That's what disagreement is. That's what debate is. Try to keep up, Sparky.

Revisionist history. This video from ~:50 onward has footage that accurately depicts the guy.

I tend to disagree that he lacks charisma. It's there. It can be a little flinty, but it's there. I can't find that video of his first visit to the Buffalo area - total dog and pony show. There was the footage of him kneeling down to meet a kid in a hospital (points for the kneel!), whose name was Jack, and Eichel, obviously unscripted, turns to the PSE entourage and brightly says, "hey, guys, his name's Jack too!" Very sweet. I'm calling it genuine. Excellent take. Rural California -v- greater Boston. Very different sorts of cats. But there's lots of ways to skin them, so to speak.

This evocative memory made me think of this internet classic. But, like, why take the time to do that?

except he's not good anymore?

What in the fresh fu*k are the Oilers doing. Bizarre. I mean, we complain. And well we should. But imagine being an Oilers fan?

He's a pro.

Just dropping in to say: This is promising news.

Now, now. Let’s see the beast master gap integrity.

Lol - I think we may have differing definitions/criteria here.

I think you misunderestimate the power that every ~10th person being an absolute ***** heel can have. Bills' games are always a paradigm, of sorts, for me on this topic. In the midst of 70,000 people, 7,000 as.sholes can do a LOT of damage. A lot.

I think that's high. IMO, the distribution is closer to 10% (15%?), on either end of the spectrum -- those who suck and those who are aces. Most of us fall somewhere in that middle ground.

No. It’s just the fact that Pegula’s still giving his 2 cents on any hockey talent. It’s ludacrisp.

I'm good with it. Three years is fine as well.

The return of PAngloss and his fondness for an a priori understanding of the world?

Checking in on this thread had me like

Montreal has to be my favourite non-Sabre team. I've just always loved the sweaters, the sights and sounds of a game being played in the old Forum. The historic greats. And the deal was sealed when Pat Lafontaine giddily poured water on the Sabres TV interviewer as he was being interviewed after the Sabres won their last game in the Forum. Go, Habs!

I don't follow.

Jesus Christmas is that awful, and weird.

Conan for Sabres GM?

I saw what seemed a smart Tweet: Ron Francis doesn't want a coach who has sway in personnel matters.
