The real question is ..... during those 35 miles, what else did you do?!

I read decades ago an equipment design team had developed soft-shelled helmets and shoulder pads that were safer and were expected to prevent or reduce a number of injuries. The article concluded it would be a long time to implement those types of changes because almost all coaches hated it. Their opinion boiled down to 1 simple factor; they couldn't hear the "crack" of the helmets and shoulder pads making contact. It's all about the aesthetics.

Just happy there's a new Renderings thread!

Which brings up the question.....

After reading that, I've come to the conclusion that the offseason sucks, and we've come to the point where the pundits are scraping the sludge from the bottom of the storyline barrel.

Going to the game in Tampa tomorrow night. First one in years. Hopefully the away team shows up and not that mess of indifference that played last night. And maybe Sabres fans can pay it forward, at least to a small degree, and show up as a big away fan presence. There's usually a good amount of Sabre fans there.

Every year at the end of the Bills season!

I haven't used Craig's List, but I'm curious to know how he knew you were close enough to see the clubs in person?

Let's hope the Sabres get a little lucky and not alot of 3-point games. It is hard to overtake 5 points, but fortunately with all the games at hand the Sabres have, the odds aren't as bad as they normally would be. Got a lot of games coming up, but IMO, with the Sabres being such a young team, they're suited to handle a busy stretch. They did it in January and came out of it just fine. Nothing gets under my skin more than hearing Leaf fans cheering in Buffalo. Sabres need to get a lead and keep it. Need to keep their yaps shut.

I hope this happens. My eyes can't handle his teeth on Sunday Morning Countdown.

Facebook's a hack? I already knew that!

DoorDash Seriously though....anything in a Crock Pot. I found out I can read recipes and actually make them work. Cut up a bunch of crap, throw it in and turn it on.

the word "Hot!" to describe a gorgeous woman must have started with her.

That was a good, and needed win!. However, I'm done with the Comrie experiment. That 3rd goal was just brutal. He was face down on the ice, and either lost the puck, or thought he had it trapped. Not a big deal, that stuff happens all the time. The problem was, he laid there with his left leg bent. If he had his leg extended, that puck doesn't go in. At the very least, the shooter would've needed to lift it which doesn't always work. The 2nd goal was not on Comrie, but it was lame defense. A Duck player screening Comrie with Lyubushkin standing in front of him. Made no effort to move or disrupt the player and essentially added to the screen. The defense plays way to loosey-goosey at times. The only way the Sabres are making the playoffs is if they tighten up the D and ride Ukko Pekka Luukkonen until his legs fall off.

That was clock-work, and iconic. Of course, now all parents know where their children are......in their rooms. They would have to change it to, "It's 11 o'clock, do you know what sights your children are on?"

I've been thinking this exact same thing the last week or so. Quit trying to build a team to beat one team. That part has worked for the most part. Problem is, they end up tripping over themselves against other teams. Instead, build a team that every other team has to beat. And....it's very difficult to "be like them" because they don't have the same pieces.

I ain't doin' diddly-squat.

Good point. While Dorsey got some interest this year, the fact that Frazier rarely gets a sniff for a HC gig despite having a top 2 defense statistically the past 4 years (aside from 2020) is telling. Either the other teams don't think it's his D (likely), or he doesn't pass the eye test (also likely).

Yeah, I did hear Paul Hamilton mention on WGR Adams did ask that question to Okposo. Regardless of the answer, hopefully it's recognized and addressed.

That's the look of every Buffalo fan at the end of every season, ever.
