Over May Day?

I wasn't alive for that, so that was an easy choice for me. Don't care which wins though...

[TrueBlueGED]

Fudge, too many men. Come on, PK and Miller.

 

 

 

He went back down a few games ago, didn't he?

 

Yea, he got sent back last week.

I like when singers sing the anthem in the time signature or whatever it was written in.

 

I think you mean bpm (beats per minute). If you're referring to the tempo :thumbsup:

Yes. Brain cramp by me. I meant Tropp. Is he in tonight? I saw Gerbe with CoHo and Vanek.

 

GO SABRES!!!

Yup that's it thanks :)

Grebe with vanek and Coho Tropp with Cody and kaleta

Same thing, essentially: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature

 

Nice save by Miller.

Thank-you, sir.

I'm an audio engineer and comp major. Bpm and time signature are two completely different things. 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8 are time signatures. They have absolutely nothing to do with the tempo. The swing of a piece, yes but the speed/tempo.....no.

Wasn't judging, just clarifying. :) I didn't see May Day, either, but both goals are pretty clutch.

 

Grebe with vanek and Coho Tropp with Cody and kaleta

 

Nice, thanks - I had missed that!

[tiredsounds]

It doesn't look like the crowd is as into the game as it could be, understandable seen as the Flyers are already in, but still. Could be worse.

 

Also, all the best to Sulzer, hope everything is okay.

[ROC Sabres]

Is this ice just crap or are players getting tripped and slew-footed and the refs are just keeping the whistles away tonight?

[bills_fan_in_raleigh]

Just love that blue light commercial

[shrader]

This is some awful hockey.

I have no idea, but when in doubt, it's always a pretty safe assumption that the refs just aren't calling things.

Not totally separate but I'll agree that they aren't exactly the same. From Wikipedia:

 

There are various types of time signatures, depending on whether the music follows simple rhythms or involves unusual shifting tempos, including: simple (such as 34 or 44), compound (e.g., 98 or 128), complex (e.g., 54 or 78), mixed (e.g., 58 & 38 or 68 or 34), additive (e.g., 3+2+38), fractional (e.g., 2½4), irrational meters (e.g., 310 or 524), or other meters.

 

The signature is going to influence the tempo even if it doesn't fully dictate it.

 

Anyhow, go Sabres!

Eight shots combined

Not at all, this is wikipedia you're referring too. The time signature never influences the tempo. The sig will only change the pieces characteristics. No offense but I've been a musician since I was 7, not to mention I have a degree in audio engineering and getting a second in Music Comp.

 

Simple Meter vs Compound Meter have no influence with on tempo either, only the mathematical aspect of how the beats are and can be divided

[wonderbread]

More commercials please

Biodork, tempo and time-signature are completely independent of one another.

[ROC Sabres]

Philly players have a tv on the bench to make sure they don't miss Grey's Anatomy tonight. At least that's how they look like they are playing.

As a musician, I have to agree with 87168 that the two concepts are essentially independent. 4/4, the most versatile time signature, for example, could be a 40 bpm requiem, a 120 bpm march or some 170 bpm electronica piece.

I hope they watch it. I don't care how we win, even if it involves Pegula giving each Flyer a million dollar bonus.

True on Wikipedia. I did band and choir all through school, but I'll defer to you since music was your major and I don't want to derail the thread over something unimportant. :)

Oy too late... I give, I give! Back to the game.
