That Aud Smell

A-freaking-men. I don't know if this aspect of his play was undersold as a prospect, but it is surprising me just the same. He likes to take the body -- and seems to know how to do it with good technique.

Bro. If you think a game where the Sabres play MTL, get 40+ shots, come back from 1-goal deficits three times, and win with a minute to go is boring — it is time for some genuine self-reflection.

Blues are 2-4-3 through 9 games.

Had to catch this game on a combination of radio and phone-stream. We knew that the Sabres were improved. It now looks like they might be good. So exciting.

The United States has had a marked and definite shift away from being a stable democracy. The issue was treated with some seriousness here: https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/is-america-headed-for-a-new-kind-of-civil-war And, really. The fact that we are living in a country where a significant portion of the electorate, possibly a majority, operates in post-factual/a-factual manners -- I'm not sure where else we could be as a nation. (I would note here: I think there are people of various inclinations and persuasions who operate in this way, although I think the largest contingent are the disaffected white voters who support Trump regardless of what he says or does.)

This is the world we now live in.

Good reco's - thanks.

I can actually abide the slug logo when it's presented in fun, capricious variations like the one above. My daughters still have their light pink watch caps (is that what they're called?) with a slug on them. They're cute. The caps, I mean. The kids too.

I was gonna say Quoting an entire original post like that in a GDT is what sucks.

I thought MTL was supposed to stink this season? WTF? Don't be too f###king slow tonight, boys. Let's Go, Buffalo!

Truth! Especially when you're toggling tabs, jumping around, mostly doing work, etc.

it ... is?

terrible. but hardly surprising.

Huh?

SO good. If only the player could live up to it.

ehh - mostly taking a feel-good potshot at a poster i've had blocked for a long time. (not you, obviously - since i'm replying.)

There tend to be common denominators in those episodes. And I'm not, at least I don't think, talking about @Sabel79

Didn’t read. Won’t read. The block function is there for a reason.

^ in fairness to his point total early on: he mostly looked good during those games. Sample sizes, and such.

First time for me!! Thanks @MODO Hockey

^ Are you counting the brawl he started at a high school football game -- several years after he had graduated from said high school?

Yep. The SS Ground and Pound? She has sailed. Never to return to port. The NFL has intentionally set about creating a sort of Frankenstein of a game that is specifically designed to reward teams that feature the pass. As a grizzled old timer often said at a domino table I used to frequent (typically when I was trying in vain to resist the board's direction): "Son, don't fight the government."

From my youth: It's The Exorcist. And it's not even close. Holy shnikes, that movie. Another fantastic clip about the horror and panic that the movie managed to provoke in people. As an adult, Blair Witch got me good. I was not prepared for it.

Sound up for this clip. It's an original audio recording of an opening weekend audience's reaction to the climactic scene, synced with the movie itself. Amazing.
