That Aud Smell Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Mrs. Hodgson, MILF. Um, yeah. And, hey, for guys of our vintage, I don't think we're allowed to say she's a MILF; I think she's just, y'know, a S(omeone)ILF (W(oman)ILF?). But, Aud, Kim… am I right? it took me repeated viewings to catch sight of the woman to whom i have pledged my undying devotion and in whose landscaping* i have been apprehended by local authorities no fewer than three times. *i mean actual landscaping, guys: soil, mulch, shrubs, small trees, and, yes, bushes. i was especially pleased to capture that look on Z's face. who's standing next to him with the funny industrial glasses still on? Someone asked recently something along the lines of why should we believe Pat can do the job. You just hear him talk and you feel good and you believe. Maybe we're all being bamboozled, I dunno. maybe we are. who knows? i tend to doubt it. all i know is that it feels nice, and it feels right to have him at the helm. And the BBG on TM is terrific. One of the best ones yet (if not the best one). Edited February 28, 2014 by That Aud Smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsixspd Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yep. So Tim felt Terry had "his guys." Why on earth would an oil and gas man have "guys"? I think this clip would be in my closing argument in the meddling trial. Not quite a smoking gun, but what more do some of you folks need to see and hear? Tim. Is. The. Man. Maybe more like the team is a big kids toy collection to T-Pegs? You tell a kid you don't like one of his toys, he might act petulant. .

IKnowPhysics Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Yeah, that's pretty damn good episode. That's the honey pot of behind-the-scenes hockey videos, I think: how trades ideas develop and how the negotiating works. Exciting stuff. Not overly revealing about how the negotiations went, but a good look at how decisive and frosty you have to stay as a GM and how important leadership is on a busy trade deadline day Edited March 26, 2014 by IKnowPhysics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yeah, that's pretty damn good episode.

Not overly revealing about how the negotiations went, but a good look at how decisive and frosty you have to stay as a GM and how important leadership is on a busy trade deadline day Good summary. I agree with all of it. I would have liked to have heard more discussion from the group in the "war room" about what a player may mean to the future Sabres, even if they didn't identify who it was they were talking about, just so we get a few more hints at the plan going forward.

Brawndo Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Watched this episode again, Murray seems to like Neuvirth. Kevin Devine appeared not to like the return for Halak. Was that Joe Battista giving an update on Neuvirth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Kevin Devine appeared not to like the return for Halak. That's not how I heard it, but I had to listen to it a few times. TM: "He would Halak and a 3rd for Neuvirth and Klesla. So, does anybody like him [presumably Neuvirth] as a goalie?" [camera cut] Devine: "Well, we're not going forward with the other guy. He's a guy that's going out the window for nothing." I think Devine's speaking of Halak, who, of course was the UFA and didn't get moved to Minnesota (or anywhere else?). If true, this is what I was thinking about the trade: Halak wasn't worth a ###### after Edmonton made goalie moves and ended up as a throw-in price-dropper. Historically, young goalies gather a 2nd round pick (examples: Biron and Noronen), so figure that's what the Capitals ask for Neuvirth. We get the price dropped from a 2nd to a 3rd because we give the Capitals a backup goalie back in Halak. In order for that to work cap-wise for the Capitals, we eat Klesla's contract (no big deal). That's a square deal to me, and we get a young goalie with some up side under contract and keep our precious 2nd rounders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Was that Joe Battista giving an update on Neuvirth? That sequence was Joe Battista (reading the scouting report), Dave Torrie (I think), and Craig Patrick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) I agree with Physics on Devine/Halak. I think he was saying that you had to do it because Halak had no value to the Sabres. And Murray clearly likes Neuvirth. Beyond Blue and Gold is easily the best part of this lost season.

PASabreFan Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 That sequence was Joe Battista (reading the scouting report), Dave Torrie (I think), and Craig Patrick. The legend of Battista grows. What exactly about being club hockey coach at Penn State qualifies him to be sitting in that chair (as vice president of hockey related businesses)?

What exactly about being club hockey coach at Penn State qualifies him to be sitting in that chair (as vice president of hockey related businesses)? I'm not going to defend him, but his bio is here: http://sabres.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=94184 Of note to me: He was a longtime coach for college-aged players and that may have given him an ability to scout and evaluate talent. Lots of scouts have worse resumes. He also founded the ACHA, which is no small feat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
