Eichel scores at 3 on 3 scrimmage and puts the puck THROUGH the net. http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/25239835/watch-sabres-top-pick-jack-eichel-shoots-puck-through-net

Thanks, Joe. Just glad that I was able to play a small part in helping a great man get his life back together. Near the end of the fund drive I was told by a very credible media source that Kim Pegula would be reaching out to Darryl and offering him the Ambassadorship. She wanted to wait because she didn't want to step on the great gesture made by the thousands of fans that gave to the fund. That is the type of amazing ownership that we are blessed to have.

Love and prayers for good health coming your way, Van. From one that borrowed your name as a show of honor and respect.

"The noise the animals make while mating is often extremely startling – in fact, the sound of lovemaking tortoises was used to voice the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park." Who knew?

Another nice piece on Eichel's upbringing. http://thehockeywriters.com/eichels-story-jacks-upbringing-makes-him-the-perfect-fit-for-buffalo/

Interview sounded great. You acquitted yourself well. Nice job!

Looking forward to tuning in. Knock it out of the park!

Great news!

So beautifully Canadian of you and right back 'atcha.

Fair enough, Kelly. I'm not trying to roast the guy or anything, I just think he needs to tread carefully. The girl was probably drunk and swung feebly at the QB, but (in my younger days) I had my share of drunk women - some that professed to love me - who got in my face or pushed on me. I never had a problem walking away and diffusing the situation.

The problem was when he said: "But they have to get some sort of consequence as well. Y'all can't keep letting females provoke guys in all ways then walk free." It implies that he thinks that it is okay to punch a woman in the face if she provokes you. It's not, it never is. The response is to walk away.

This guy is the funniest comic you've probably never heard of.

Paul Hamilton tweets from Today. Reinhart really impressed me. He seems so at ease this year, he does look bigger and he just sounds confident. Reinhart said he and Eichel are roommates during this camp.

They married in Buffalo on July 4th http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/05/entertainment/vanessa-williams-jim-skrip-marries-feat/index.html?sr=fb7515VanessaWilliamsmarries5pStoryLink

Per WGR text, Sabres sign left shooting Defensemen Carlo Colaiacovo - 1 yr - $900,000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Colaiacovo

I should have listed this guy first, Terry Fox.

I also thought that there was no way he was going to let McDavid get a year up on him and have to chase his numbers throughout his career.

Oh, and special love goes out today to CBF. Greatly appreciate all of your contributions to the board.

a few more... Joni Mitchell, everyone (except Levon Helm) in The Band, Leonard Cohen and Jim Carrey.

Great news about Eichel! Onward and upward!

Canada turns 148 today. To honor this glorious day for our neighbors to the north please take a moment and post a pic of a Canadian that has inspired you with his or her actions and deeds. I'll start it off with the one and only Neil Young.
