3-0 Marlies with 8 minutes left. Doesn’t look like the Amerks will pull it off tonight. I wasnt aware that they have have never beaten the Marlies in the playoffs. They’ve played them twice and were swept both times. No no excuse this year. The Amerks were 5 games to 1 in the season series this year and they’re facing the Marlies 2 backup goalies this playoff series. Make that 4-0. Marlies just scored short handed. Rochester is falling apart now.

Great first period by the Amerks. They outshot Toronto 15-5 (and hit 3 or 4 posts). They were relentless on the forecheck. It’s 0-0 after 1 but the Amerks should’ve had a couple. Lets hope they continue this in the 2nd.

I hope they do trade down. Mike Maccagnan has not shown to be a great drafting GM. But it’s harder to miss on a top 3 pick (that is not a QB...), especially in a year with some elite pass rushers at the top of the draft. Trading down increases the chances that Mac drafts another bust...

As of now it looks like there should be a stream available (on YouTube) for tonight’s Amerks playoff game.

Steve Yzerman is being named the GM of the Detroit Red Wings. Ken Holland will stay on as a senior Vice President (for now...). The Atlantic division is going brutal... we already have Tanpa, Boston and Toronto. Now the Panthers add Quenneville and the Red Wings add Yzerman. Buffalo better get their **** together, and quick, if we want any chance of competing.

Since when are Cardinals “birds of prey” ?

The players seem excited about this schedule. I am too. This is the best I’ve felt about our schedule in recent memory.

O’Reilly, Bergeron and Stone ar the Selke finalists this year. https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2019/04/17/bergeron-oreilly-stone-are-the-2019-selke-trophy-finalists/

I actually don’t like washington’s Chances this year. They’ve taken a step back this year. They just don’t look like the team that won the Cup last year. Watch, now that I said this they’ll win it all... lol. I honestly don’t know who I’d pick to win it all right now. Seems wide open this year. Could be anyone.

You can pick which ever hard drive you want to run from, and switch between the internal and external if you want. All you do is go to the storage menu on the PS4. I have not not used my internal hard drive since I plugged in the external. I’ve had no need to, really. I set it to install/run everything off the external hard drive and have just left it that way. Games run right from the external hard drive. The external hard drive is actually slightly faster loading than the internal hard drive on the PS4 is (though hardly noticeable). The PS4 has a USB 3 port. It’s actually a faster connection than the SATA II the internal drive uses. Plus, the external hd’s have better specs than the hd the PS4 uses. and it’s only running games. It’s not running all the functions the internal hd is running. I use a powered external hard drive. This one - https://www.amazon.com/Book-Desktop-External-Drive-WDBBGB0040HBK-NESN/dp/B01LQQHL4E/ref=asc_df_B01LQQHL4E/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309776868400&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4076394060688731751&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005554&hvtargid=pla-343408347012&th= You can can also use a portable external hard drive that’s powered by the USB. Powered hd’s are slightly faster, but not really noticeable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0713WPGLL/ref=sspa_dk_hqp_detail_aax_0?psc=1 The portable hard drive is recommended if you want to take your game collection to friends houses to play. If you only play games at home (like me) then I would recommend the powered hard drive as they are slightly faster (and I’ve read they are a bit more reliable over the long run). The other nice nice thing about an external hard drive is if you ever have to get a new PlayStation, all you have to do is plug your hard drive in to the new console and all your games are ready to go. Same if the new PS5 comes out and has backward compatibility. You could obviously also use it for storage on a new PS5. As an added bonus, you can use it as a DVR recording device (on XBox one anyway. Never tried it on PS4. You actually need an external hard drive to use that feature). I mean, you could also always open the PS4 up and install a bigger internal hard drive. It’s easy to do. But there is really no reason IMO, unless the internal hard drive is way cheaper or something. But there is no down side to using an external hard drive. I prefer it actually. Oh, just FYI I noticed in that first link link (to the powered external hard drive) that the 6 tb model is only $20 more. If I were buying one, I’d just get the 6 tb. Two extra tb’s for $20 is a steal.

Isles with the empty netter! Pens are done. Lets hope Jim Rutherford overreacts and does something stupid (like firing Mike Sullivan so we can hire him...lol)

I love it! Congrats Columbus. Now just keep it going! (especially since it could potentially help the Sabres get the STL pick). Now let’s see if the NY can finish it too. 50 seconds left...

This Tampa Bay vs Columbus game is amazing!!

It was actually Svechnikov that asked Ovi to fight. Ovi mentioned it after the game. He said Svech asked him to go and he said ok. Bet the kid won’t ask him again. lol He was knocked out. You could see it right away by the way his hands/arms stiffened up. Announcers also eventually mentioned that he was out cold for a minute.

The very first thing I bought after my Xbox/PS4 was an external hard drive for both. I grabbed a 4 TB external hard drive for each. You can get them for about $80-90. I recommend the WD brand, but any will work. Super easy to install too. All you do is plug in the USB cable to the console and it walks you through a 1 minute setup and then you’re ready to go. I have yet to fill either one. Never had to uninstall a game...

If it supports 8k graphics, I am assuming that it has to have HDMI 2.1 then?

For anyone wanting to watch the Amerks playoff run - https://www.watchtheahl.com/#/ AHLtv came out with their playoff package today. It’s actually pretty reasonable. You can also occasionally find the Amerks games on YouTube.

Now official

Nice! This is a really nice addition for the Amerks hopeful playoff run. Bryson was one of the better college defenseman this year. And I love that they didn’t burn a year of his ELC to get it done.

Right? I checked in because I wanted to see if there were any more pics posted of the new facility and had to scroll through 4 pages of whatever That was... lol

You know.... that’s not the worst idea I’ve heard. We know he loves Buffalo. He could probably help re-establish the sense of pride these players should have in putting on that Sabres jersey (or any NHL jersey for that matter), with the history he has with this franchise. One things for sure, when he was here the players were not running the show. Even the face of the franchise (at the time) Ryan Miller, during his peak US olympic years, was scared to complain about Lindy. I remember the media asking him about his playing time, or being pulled or something like that, and trying to bait him into saying something and Miller wouldn’t dare. He even said something like “that’s the guy who controls my playing time. Whatever he says, goes”. Miller knew that even though he was the sabres franchise player, Lindy was still in charge. I don’t think we’ve had that since Lindy left to be honest.
