That Aud Smell

Let the church say “Amen.” Unfreakingbelievable that McDermott affirmatively chose for his QB situation to play out this way.

Hey @Randall Flagg : Keep on doing you, sir. “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.” F. Scott Fitzgerald. It’s entirely possible to enjoy the win, and identify unsustainable aspects of said winning. I am a better fan for it. Go, Sabres!

C’mon, boys!! .600 winning percentage firmly within reach. Let’s go, Buffalo!!

watching a youtube clip with friedman (sp?). apparently, pettersson was #1 on some teams' boards.

well. it's not as though that guy went after mittlestadt. plus, a year in the SHL should be helping him.

whodat

^ Good update.

Apparently it's been bad? Maybe not in terms of goals scored, but chances surrendered?

Hamilton offered on Twitter: Larsson’s return may be about improving the PK.

I did. And I had thought maybe I was overlooking it. But I was so eager for confirmation that someone else remembered Mr. Food saying that, once upon a time.

Yes to both!

May God forgive me.

he was waived.

I would not have replied as I did if pi had posted: "They only reason he's playing is because Phil is too nice and wants favors to give veterans players a chance to play."

He can take faceoffs when playing wing. Also: That seems like an unsubstantiated take.

really? i am thankful for that. if it happened, it is bizarre that the internet doesn't have evidence of this.

among my very favourite memories of watching the tee-vee when i was younger: seeing/hearing Mr. Food close his segment on doing perfect blueberry (??) muffins by declaring: "You ain't seen nothin, 'til you're down on the muffin! ... Ooooo it's so good." However, a quick internet search has me wondering whether that's an imagined memory.

Yeah - and anyway, I talk past people as I often talk to them.

I'm not ignoring it. I just don't think that qualifier -- "on paper" -- insulates what you're saying from the critiques I'm offering. I also continue to fail to grasp what point is actually being made hereby.

They generally require the slightest bit of imagination to interpret.

cold gotsta be.

God love ya.

I can't? They have a better winning percentage, fwiw. And anyway, I probably can't say much on the subject because I don't know enough about the Leafs roster and I simply don't watch enough hockey. But this analysis is overly simplistic; affectedly so, it seems. Would a panel of 5 neutral hockey personnel experts take the Leafs team (including coaches) over the Sabres team (same inclusion)? That's one other way to look at the matter. I am sure there are others. Are the Sabres precisely as far along in building a winning franchise as the Islanders? The Blue Jackets? The Stars? The Jets? All of those teams that have played 3 games and have 4 points to show for it.
