  1. The same thought occurred to me. Not mocking, though. More just like taking their turn on it. As someone else noted upthread: Those tandems are available at Canalside. The fellas probably just did it on the spur of the moment.
  2. That is an excellent choice. It may be mine as well -- I will need to reflect on that a bit. I'd have thought a brown ale would be my all-time favorite. I had a few Edmund Fitz's this past summer while in the 216 (on a cool night (typical of the summer past, really)). And the beer was so, so ... SO good, and so perfect for the situation, that I had to like ... just STOP, and be like, DAMN, this is good. Duly noted. Thanks.
  3. Interesting. And encouraging. Who famously had the quote about Hot Daniel's system being overly complicated? Iginla?
  4. For the sake of discussion: Maybe I (the league) can and will tell you (a team) how it can defend if the on-ice product (shooting at heads in a clogged middle) that all of you (the teams) are creating is, to borrow a phrase from ROR, "brutes." Keep 'em coming.
  5. Glad we could boggle, Pokey. Thanks for bringing the rain clouds to a sunny revival of what I always thought was a light hearted thread.
  6. Outstanding. https://www.instagram.com/p/BZCBsdahx3_/?hl=en I really, really want these guys to have success.
  7. G = goalie? And, yes. I think there's a chance the Sabres have to endure some growing pains. I just hope they stick with it and see it through, rather than retreat to being a passive lackluster team.
  8. Thanks for the update.
  9. Are there rules? Link, please, if so. My sense was he got ban-hammered for being an incorrigibly uncivil and arrogant poster.
  10. fair point. the difference being: we now know what that wound up translating into for Bylsma. with housley, there is hope that it means what he says. additionally, bylsma's pronouncements were also accompanied with his talk of chip and chase and small ice.
  11. "We wanna be fast and aggressive." God, I hope he can make it work. OTOH, there's only so much a team can do against the 1-3-1, or even the 1-4, or whatever -- McDavid recently said as much. At a minimum, at least we're not hearing about the need to get the opposing D to turn around and then win battles on "small ice." Christ -- Dreary Dan and FGMTM were really of a mind on that, weren't they?
  12. What was that last parting shot? Something about how we're all pencil-necked losers, or something. BOOM this is elegant. a little. if he was mostly trolling, then fair play to him, i suppose. it's a weird way to get your kicks.
  13. Word.
  14. This is how I inferred he was banned. I saw him as the last commentator on certain threads here, and the link associated with the screen name was dead.
  15. Here's the thing: If he were designated as the person who started the thread, he could delete it, right? But I am confident that he was not credited as the starter of that thread. Otherwise, it would have been a mod move. And the mods can reverse that, and bring back the old thread. I think that's the case, anyway. Oh, and jeffismagic's been ban-hammered.
  16. I think it's an intriguing idea, and would not quash it because of perceived enforcement concerns. They can figure out a way to enforce it.
  17. Wait. Is the old thread really gone?
  18. jeff is completely off the rails, and this thread is hilarious as a result. Full marks, right here.
  19. I see. I'm all for an exhuming of old writings that tend to put Brandon under a microscope.
  20. Ooooooh. Dude. These ideas are good ones! This one here specifically seems like a nice balance to strike.
  21. I legit lol'd. There's something of Hamlet's antic disposition afoot with WildCard of late.
  22. Good thought experiment indicated here. The thing that had occurred to me was also related to basketball. They outlawed zone or most zones in the NBA, right? The NHL should look at something like that. Something that will tend to open up the game more. Who doesn't wanna see Eichel in an isolation with a hapless 5/6 d-man? It's crazy. But I like sorta it.
  23. The what now?
  24. I think I understand that, for some/many, this sort of unbridled dewy-eyed optimism is a little tongue in cheek, a little jokey. I guess I'm thinking Wildcard. And also of myself, frankly. And maybe Flagg? Anyhoo. It occurred to me a in a brief flash just now (a mental one -- not a creep in a trench coat): What's the harm or downside in being on board (fully or otherwise), at least until the wheels come off? It's fun. I like fun. KORAB! (Thanks, Patches.)
  25. I'm gonna agree.
