Yep. And in the measured velocity tests, Allen threw 62mph to both the left and right, a combine record. Mahomes was a full 7mph slower at 55mph in both directions at his combine. And I don’t recall exactly who the sports science guy is that conducts his tests, but Allen set a record for fastest recorded arm speed as well. Something like 74mph. None of that means Allen would automatically win a longest throw contest, but the physics involved show he has a distinct advantage.

Now that's how to do it. Bravo!

Can’t go out with a whimper. This is our only chance to win two in a row after going the last 47 games without achieving that miraculous feat!

No, the Buffalo Sabres reason for existence is to make fans cry enough so that Pegula can frack his wells with our tears. Per the bold text, I agree entirely and emphatically. We need more talented players. We also need more talent at head coach.

Well, would ya? Would pooj? On another note, I think the thrown will be destroyed.

I read the thread title too quickly, saw “hat draft” and thought it was another stupid Mike Schopp bit. Sorry Yolo.

I’m not saying Oliver won’t be a great player, but that perception may be a result of one playing in the SEC and the other in the American West. Doesn’t matter as Oliver has all the tools you’re looking for at the 3 and that’s the most important factor.

'Nuff said. When it gets to the point of insulting the intelligence of the fan base, it's past the point of no return. Go back to high school coaching, Phil. Or find another assistant job in the pros, but make sure they have All Stars at the D position so you can take credit for making them great.

A lesbian named Hazel?

Why not? Will the team implode or something? Big difference between being best player and best leader as you know. He just doesn’t seem cut out for it. There are ways to do it without insulting him. I just get the feeling it’s not that important to him, so maybe I think it’s less of a big deal than it might be. Hey, remember at the end of February when Scandella went on about how exciting it was to “play meaningful games in March?”

Perfectly ok with questioning Eichel. He’s a great player, but he’s not captain material. He’s full of crap with his pronouncements about how there is pride on the line, still much to play for, yada yada yada. Takes too many shifts off to be an effective leader. And he’s just been mailing it in since his suspension. My first move as coach would be to take the C away and give it to someone who leaves it all on the ice EVERY game, EVERY shift. Might actually relieve some pressure from Eichel as well.

No way he falls to nine. No. Way.

Are you under the impression that isn’t the bulk of the scouting process?

Those NASA lawyers forgot who their customers were.

Yeah, good to see Thompson having some early success in the A. Speaks well of him that he’s not sulking about the send down. Quick question: he’s listed as a center on the Amerks roster so does anyone out there know if that’s the position he’s played in his two AHL games?

Not exactly a high bar, that. ?

If Bullough had been a winner, his malapropisms would have been embraced as much as Yogi Berra’s were. Moron or not, some of them were funny.

Sounds like something he’d say, for sure.

Well, to be fair, the D is missing three of its best players in Bogo, McCabe, and Risto. Not that they’d help that much, but they’d be better than what’s out there tonight. Not saying much, I know.

UB can hold their heads a little higher with every Texas Tech win. To hold the highest scoring team in the country to 32 second half points is damned impressive.

Oh, it would be a meltdown of China syndrome proportions. But GMs need the courage of their convictions, regardless.

And if you think they are, you pull the trigger every time.
