I've been around her several times - at events, fundraisers, games. She always came across as genuine and kind to me.

Dahlin and Mittelstadt Playing in The Fattey League Tonight.
That Aud Smell replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
It disturbs and amuses me that the 3rd or 4th thing I thought after watching and re-watching this clip lats night was something to the effect of "pi's gonna be on the board tomorrow saying that if #15 had been even an AHL-level defenseman, Dahlin would have been knocked silly coasting across the middle like that." -
Lord, that's damning with faint praise. I suspect that all traditional newspapers are desperate for cheap, clickworthy content. I'm not saying there's not a market for the stories -- it's just sorta sad to me that that's where they're devoting resources.

It is difficult to imagine the possibility that a man like Ross, who Forbes estimates is worth some $700 million, might steal a few million from one of his business partners. Unless you have heard enough stories about Ross. Two former WL Ross colleagues remember the commerce secretary taking handfuls of Sweet’N Low packets from a nearby restaurant, so he didn’t have to go out and buy some for himself. https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2018/08/06/new-details-about-wilbur-rosss-businesses-point-to-pattern-of-grifting/

I find it more than a little sad that this is what the local paper of record chooses to cover.

This is what I had in mind. I seem to recall several very strong games from him once the new QB arrived. Of course, it seems safe to presume that no one was scheming for him like a true #1 for those games. But he has never projected as a stud WR1.
-
There was some more, but your recollection isn’t totally off. Obviously, my “yes please” contemplates better health for Coleman. Also, Goodwin has shown in SF that he can be a useful NFL receiver.

She is still working for PSE. (I might be missing the joke here.)
-
I know it's a bit of apples and oranges - but it looks like Reinhart survived that sort of problem. The Yards Per Pass twitter guy says that Coleman really looks/plays like a bigger, somewhat slower version of Flash Goodwin. I say: Yes, please.
-
I trust he won't get the Nicholas Picolas treatment. (Which was, and remains, so great, btw.)

Per Pergament at TBN: Rich Gaenzler, aka "Bull" on 97 Rock, is replacing Lauren Hall as the Buffalo Sabres' in-arena host for this upcoming National Hockey League season. He will be expanding his freelance duties, as he also is the in-arena host for Buffalo Bandits lacrosse games. "I haven't signed any papers, but it is done," Gaenzler confirmed Monday morning. "I'm pumped and I can't wait. This is a huge opportunity for me. Just by virtue of the team being better, the atmosphere in the building will be even better." The change in hosts is part of a planned overhaul to the Sabres' in-game presentation at KeyBank Center, a source said. Hall had been the in-game host for the Sabres for the last six seasons. Her primary role is as a multimedia journalist for Pegula Sports and Entertainment, contributing to digital coverage of the Bills and Sabres. She left Channel 4 in May 2016. +++ Not for nothing: It was widely rumoured that Ms. Hall was one of the people caught up in the Russ Brandon tawdriness. I wonder if she did or said something in connection with that investigation (e.g., an attempt to cover up) that caused the Pegulas to sour on her.
-
It’s something, I guess. The guy’s fast, and is a recent 1st round pick. The Bills gave up a later rounder for him. Here’s hoping.
-
They don't have to make the playoffs for Phil to keep his job, but, man oh man, they're gonna have to improve markedly for him to do so. I'll call it a warm seat.
-
Which is why I posited causation/correlation. Gotcha. Yeah - I can definitely see certain fan bases being part of what drives a guy out of town.
-
I quite forgot about this.

I voted Skinner. I could have done so based on the fact that I was/am totally done with Kane. I recognize that Kane was 110 mph and a physical force. I am also adamant that he was also dumb as a box of rocks out there -- just no real hockey IQ. (Shoutout to that guy in the section over from us who, exasperated, screamed at Kane last season when he was yet again gumming up Eichel's zone entry: "GET OUTTA THE WAY, KANE!") I hear that Skinner, like Kane, likes to carry the puck. But I'm banking on Skinner being a smarter player, who finds and takes better shots and who can creatively generate chances as well.
-
Sorry, I don't follow.
-
I wonder if that take conflates causation with correlation. Or something.
-
Do fans actually run players out of town? Honest question.
-
He'll probably want more than that - in terms and money. But that's close. I love reading this stuff, nodding sagely, but having no effing clue what it means.
-
Ah, so. Hey - that's significant.
-
Okay, this one was solid.
-
Please don’t let me be misunderstood: I was asking a question there, intended to understand if the poster actually meant that. I think it’s a fantastic value proposition. I don’t understand this at all. The team traded just a bit more than a proverbial bag of pucks for a year’s worth of a top-6 left winger. It’s a feckin’ pittance!
-
Agree with what? That a fungible prospect and lottery-ticket draft choices are a high price to pay for a proven 30 goal scorer? (What is happening here?) Moulson’s money (not sure how much at this point) rolls off too.
-
Cliff Pu and non-first-round picks are a high price for a year of a 30 goal scorer?
