That Aud Smell

Yep. I have a niece at a well-known northeastern liberal arts college. She serves on their Stu-Co. They had a big chunk of cash to spend on various events. She related in disbelief how they couldn’t many well-known comics (including Seinfeld), even though they could pay the advertised rate. This doesn’t change the fact that CK might be a craven money-grubbing Trumpist-pandering arsehole, btw. I’m not sure where he’s headed.

Bro, do you even lift? Also, I thought @... 's post above was really good.

Hear, hear. I've seen plenty of mistakes. Those are to be expected -- this season and for some time beyond. I've also seen lots of stuff that's astonished and amazed me. I've also seen the side-by-side comparison of him and Hedman over the same period of time. Dahlin's numbers are way ahead of where Hedman was. The kid may end up as the Sabres' best skater ever.

John Cleese is the very antithesis of a shock comedian, and he recently gave a withering explanation of why we won’t play/appear at colleges anymore — after decades of doing so. And he’s far from alone among good comics.

I’m genuinely ambivalent about the leaked CK audio. The jokes were bad - verging on hack stuff. The optics of the situation are definitely bad for him. But I’m also distrustful of a culture that developed which has made many, many comedians reluctant or unwilling to tour college campuses. When fueled by a Twitter-backlash, that culture can be suffocating.

I am not an attentive fan of late. Just took stock of our middle 6 and especially our third line. Holy hell.

Rick sounded good on that goal call, for sure.

God love the top line.

He’s sounding better now. There was a stretch where he sounded ... like he was struggling a bit.

82 ... Yeeesh. Lucky not to give up another.

Mittlestadt’s line in its own end ... no bueno.

Rick didn’t sound altogether well during that last segment that ended in the Bruins goal. His voice sounded ... occluded.

I’ll happily defer to the docs here, but I wonder if RJ is on a med or a few meds for cardiac type issues. I know my dad, from time to time, gets his meds out of wack and it causes dizziness, occasional heart racing, and consequent anxiety/panic. God bless RJ! The old Playfair line — it was my signature forever before the upgrades.

God bless Rick.

@pi2000 sheesh. Couldn’t it just be a sensitive family matter?

Yep.

Good work.

Apparently, there's an Eichel scrum interview where he lit up a bit and said he *really* wanted to notch a few points for his mom. The moms are in Washington tonight and again at home ... whenever the team plays next. Hamilton related this on WGR. C'mon. Eichel with 6 points over the next 2 games. WHO SAYS NO?!

But this is the mom road trip!

Great post. Do not lock!! I am still so stinkin' curious to know what happened with Berglund. And what may still happen.

Good Christ. *That’s* what this is about? C’mon.

Make mom proud, fellas. Let’s go, Buffalo!

I’ll admit to being leas than clear on the view that Hasek stopped trying, or engaged in some sort of sabotage (?), toward the end of his Sabres career. It’s not for this thread, anyway.

I hear Simple and think the late, great Jason Molina.
