  1. I haven't been contributing to this thread as I much as I should be. If I wanted to get a great bottle for someone I knew really enjoyed scotch, I'd get them a bottle of Lagavulin 16. That's ballpark $80. It's a very very good scotch-drinker's scotch, and easily one of the best I've had. And then there's this review on Amazon: It's been sold out near me for months.

  3. I like to think that the coaching change has changed the outlook for our record, so averaging over the whole season could be a little too hopeful (in bizarro Tank Universe). The Sabres are on pace at 0.83 ppg in January. Edmonton is at 0.64 ppg and Calgary is at 0.85 ppg in January. NYI has played alright, at 1.13 ppg. Projecting the January paces over the rest of the season: NYI 80 points Calgary 70 points Buffalo 61 points Edmonton 59 points I won't stand by those numbers as a real expectation, but I do expect it's gonna be close. So, uh, go Oilers.
  4. Gentlemen (and like three ladies), Edmonton and Calgary have each gone on 3 game winning streaks. But now is no time to let up. REMEMBER 73 EASTING! ONWARD!
  5. Most of the good ones mentioned so far. Connolly, Hecht, Stafford, Wilson Some of the above weren't really whipping boys and were ok (ie Smehlik). Some just sucked and didn't get the brunt of the whip (ie Fitzpatrick). Some weren't around long enough to really get pissed on (ie, Kozlov). Not yet mentioned: Andrei Trefilov, Brad Boyes, Maxim Afinogenov (only sometimes), Erik Rasmussen
  6. ALL PROSPECTS REPORT TO BUFFALO TO BE SCOUTED. WE HAVE ALL OF THE SCOUTS. WE HAVE ALL OF THE DRAFT PICKS.
  7. I think it's important to note the point the article makes. NYC has the the fewest ice rinks per person than maybe any part of the country (except maybe Hawaii, I'm not going to do the math).
  8. I'm hoping that's what that three lane driveway is there: massive underground parking ramp that goes 10 stories down below the water table.
  9. In other news, holy ###### ######: http://www.nhl.com/i...id=nhl:topheads NINE rinks in the Kingsbridge National Ice Center to be built in the Bronx.
  10. That'd be insanity. Playoff-cusp teams would start crazy bidding wars for non-playoff team points, especially now that salary is involved in trades. It'd be a game of who can give the most players and picks away without damaging their team as much to not win in the playoffs. Teams with dumb GMs would be flaming trainwrecks, having traded all of their assets away because they got close one year.
  11. Fraser agrees:
  12. Great stuff. Everyone knows JR has a temper; it's hilarious to watch him lose it over something so stupid.
  13. Was that the guy that Roenick wanted to fight?
  14. My bet for the Dark Horse: Brian Engblom complimenting either Tyler Myers of Christian Ehrhoff in the intermission report. Keep in mind we have two guys on the inside on NBC: Brian Engblom played for the Sabres in '85 and usually will go out of his way to compliment some part of the Sabres' game. Liam McHugh (the new kid) went to UB and Syracuse and will usually go out of his way to not agree with Milbury if Milbury trashes Buffalo/Sabres. No you're right! But do we care if we take the first or second forward in the draft? Don't we want the choice?
  15. That's the key. We want the 1st or 2nd pick. Nothing less. That's what it is and that's where it is. Outside the VAB at the Cape. The pic I posted was somebody's digital art. Doubtful if it was even from a video game, although that looks like it'd be a fun video game, like a mega-version of Battle Tanks for 64.
  16. I hate the Pens, but we still need to lose to distance ourselves from Edmonton- who thankfully won big last night. We're 3 points back, but we have four games in hand.
  17. You don't get paid high enough to put forth that low of an effort.
  18. I know you had to have known it was online somewhere.

  20. Heh. Flames @ Jets in the Georgia Dome.
  21. I fixed my phrasing to make my opinion more clear. I would take Heatley if we turned him around. He's a good rental, and I'd be happy to eat part of his remaining salary to make him more attractive to other teams because that would help towards our cap floor.
  22. That tells me that nothing has been planned to be announced or delayed. They could still pull a fast one and fly a backup goalie out to Pittsburgh in relatively short order, but now I definitely won't hold my breath.
