I wonder how this maps to distribution of players by age. Could it be that the blue window also contains the most players?

I think he was talking about the old guys more than McDavid/Draisaitl.
Yeah, I see what you mean, but I think my point still holds... McD & D end up playing so much that they are rendered ineffective, and okay, so your old guys aren't worn down... but without those two carrying the load, the old guys aren't good enough to carry the load either. On a deep playoff run, McD & D are so worn down that the team becomes kind of meh.

The Sabres will make the playoffs this season if UPL signs a multi-year deal before going to arbitration.

OMG look at you guys paying attention to fashion. I never would have looked at that picture and thought, "That coat doesn't fit him."

If the hockey guy likes it, well, that changes everything.
It doesn't change a thing, but I personally like to hear what he says, if only because he's not part of the Sabrespace echo chamber.

I'm in Elbonia right now or I would.

Can you bring back some Elbonian mud for me? I'll pay you back.

14 miles this evening. Temp was only 83 when I started; downright cool for July in north Texas.

My guesses are:
- Zucker: 61
- McLeod: 71
- Malenstyn: 17 (I have a feeling 47 was assigned to him but who knows?)
- Lafferty: 28
- Aube-Kubel: 96
- Zucker: 17
- McLeod: 71
- Malenstyn: 29
- Lafferty: 81
- Aube-Kubel: 96
Well I got McLeod and Aube-Kubel right anyway.
Additionally,
- Gilbert: 8
- Reimer: 47

Lindy or no Lindy Skinner would not have been on the Sabres this upcoming season.
I'm not so sure of that.

Me thinks Lindy played a large role in the Skinner decision, for the reasons you outlined.
The Sabres have been trying to get rid of Skinner for a lot longer than Lindy's been around.
Yet nothing happened until Lindy showed up. Coincidence? I think not.

Buffalo is still going to enter the year with something like 7-8million in cap space. The Skinner buyout was a scam for Terry to use that money to fix the roof and scoreboard, not to improve the team. I stand by that until Adams proves it wrong. I accept that trades and UFAs are hard to come by, but too damn bad.

Heh. I finally poked my head into this thread to see how the Sabres will make the playoffs moving forward.
And the conversation is being dominated by Jack Eichel.

Lots of greats jobs in So Cal in the 80’s.
The Challenger loss put a serious dent in the industry.

No pain, no gain, I guess?

Wow, that was pretty close to where I worked (Hughes Aircraft back then, the building at 909 S Sepulveda... which looks like it has several tenants now). In the 1980s Everything from El Segundo to Redondo Beach was aerospace firms.... Hughes, TRW, Raytheon, etc. People used to jump back and forth between companies to get raises.

Some more LA photos. Turns out, you can ride a bike up to the top of Mt Lee behind the Hollywood sign. Also some Santa Monica beach pics in there.
When I lived in L.A. in the 1980s, we only had one car so I would often take my bike to work just south of LAX. We lived a little north of LAX. It was longer to ride, but I would often ride out to the strand on the beach than take the shorter "overland" route up on the bluff.
Since those innocent days I've heard the Ballona Creek bicycle path got kind of dangerous, with people getting mugged/bikes stolen.

The loss of Mitts is the only concern I still have and if McLeod can provide speed, faceoffs, and defense then maybe he is a good alternative.
He won't replace Mittelstadt's playmaking I would think but maybe Lindy's system won't require that out of 3C. I think we've been accustomed to two scoring lines, a 4th shutdown line, and a Island of Misfit Parts line. Let's see how the lines roll out in training camp (and I gotta believe Lindy won't be "giving prospects a chance to make the team" looks this year).

We had our biggest group for our Saturday morning breakfast ride since the pandemic this morning... 14 riders. That's my ugly mug in the foreground. This was my first 30 mile ride on the new bike.
