That’s one approach......but I find it’s FAR more fun to give it a giant push up the middle of the row and try to guess which car it will hit first. Hey, I’m just trying to have a little fun!
This reminds me of probably the funniest thing I've ever seen at a grocery store earlier this year. A rather large woman was walking her cart over, but as she got one aisle away from the corral, she decided to give it that long distance push and hope for the best. But just like all shopping carts, it immediately started swerving to the side. So she tried to run after it to stop it from hitting a car. She didn't even make it half way before it slammed into a car. I had to duck back into my car to hide the laughter.

I’m whatever you say, but
1) some cart corrals are 20-30 seconds away, some are several minutes walk across the parking lot and back
2) Cracking a window doesn’t “cut it” for keeping a dog cool, why would it be effective for a baby.
NFW would I have ever placed my kid in a hot car around here and walk away to return a cart, nor in a running car that I then locked and walked away from.
Unsafe
That was 19-20 years ago Less safe today.
And Frankly, my Dear, I don’t Give a Damn whether or not you think that’s Genuine.
I also have little respect for people who respond in a discussion by telling other people they’re “playing a card” - speaking of “not Genuine”
1. Wheel cart to car.
2. Turn on car.
3. Load groceries into car.
4. Wheel cart with car to corral.
5. Bring kid back to car.
Multiple kids complicate that a bit, but there are definitely ways to avoid leaving the cart at the spot. Sure, it takes a little extra work, but isn't that the definition of kids?

I settled down on a theme I'm happy with. The problem is that I need a third poster.
I'd put this one in the center:
Then to one side this:
None of the rest work though.

This one is tough. I don't know if I could throw together a list and there's plenty of good stuff in here already. Scrolling through random posters online, I do have to say that the one from The 40 Year Old Virgin is pretty hilarious.

I do t know a thing about this story, but after reading the second link... wow, that took an unexpected turn

It'll be interesting to see what the Sabres do in the coming weeks as well as what other teams do. I am unaware of any other teams that have taken these types of measures yet. The coyotes fired 4 people but they immediately began searching for replacements.
only six teams really can though right now. I get the sneaking suspicion that there’s more to come around the sports world. While this may in fact be unprecedented, everything we’ve seen in the past three months has been as well. And we’re not coming out of those woods anytime soon. -

OK, so who’s available and why would they want to come here?And isn’t Reinhart and Dahlin soon due for a new contract?
Im not one to dive into a list of possibly available players, but someone would come here for the same reason they sign anywhere... $$$Reinhart will get a new deal this summer. Dahlin can, but that wouldn’t go into effect until 2011-2012. His cap figure and salary are locked in for next season.

Why is this off-season the best for a GM to put his stamp on the team?Who is available outside of this organization that can be acquired to make that much of a difference?
I’m just asking because I don’t know.
Long story short, there are a lot of open roster spots and plenty of cap space to fill them. It’s not the amount of space that you can go on a crazy shopping spree, but it’s more than enough to put together a decent roster if done properly. -

Hope you’re right. But why fire his whole staff then?
It makes no sense to me. Gord Dineen did a good job filling in for Taylor.
All I can think is that maybe Kevyn Adams has someone in mind for the job. His area of expertise has been in player development.
or it was a cost cutting move, but I’m not sure if AHL coaching contract are guaranteed like NHL contract are. If they are then it wouldn’t make much sense to fire him to save $$.
I don’t really know how the contracts work, whether or not it can be converted into an NHL deal. If he needs a new contract to be in the NHL full time, they need to terminate the old one anyway (if it had any term remaining after this year). I think we need to just let the dust settle a bit on this one. My guess is that some of the people fired will be back when the season rolls around. -

Why in the world would they fire Chris Taylor?
Im very anxious to see how these positions are filled, if they are filled at all.
Does Tom Golisano want to buy the team back...?
I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor winds up on the NHL staff instead. That firing really feels like a formality in all of this.

I like Krueger a lot but would ask him why did he take Skinner off the Eichel line where he was awesome.
Amen to that. This is the biggest red flag I have with Krueger. I don't blame him for trying, but once it failed, he should have adjusted.

You can't lose it if it's already lost. I think the board needs to start listing birthday's again so Mead can be kept busy with his old happy birthday PMs.

Adams assistant GM hire(s) are going to be extremely important. I’m really hoping they can find someone with lots of experience.
Would anyone even recognize experience in the assistant GM role? I know I couldn't tell you anyone in that role anywhere along the league. Hell, I don't even know if we had anyone in that position prior to the current group. I only know of Greeley because I used to watch him play back in his college days.

Just now, JohnC said:
What I would like to know is if Kevyn Adams is the temporary acting GM or if another GM will be sought?
And then there's Greeley who was passed over for Adams. He was getting interviews over the last couple years and it sounded like he was and up and comer. Is he going to be out too?

WTF Kevyn Adams? Can someone who knows him better make me feel ok about that?
Might just be interim, but he would be another first time GM right?
They haven't used the interim label on this just yet, but it has to be a transitional thing. It makes me wonder if they're just playing out that one year left on Botterill's contract.

Shouldn't we end the previous version with someone saying "thank you Sabres"?

Isn’t that the point?I do hope there's a little more to it than just watching a pair of 50 somethings playing those roles again. That alone does look like it will have some fun awkwardness to it, but it does need a little more.

Give Steve Downie a call?
Seriously though, if they could ever convince McDavid or Crosby to get onboard with the organization, that's when the hockey world really opens their eyes.

I hope they're able to add a few more people to that executive committee. Until people start working together, the progress will be stunted.

When you combine this with the fact that he was a late round draft pick and therefore he makes considerably less than many of his counterparts .. it is excellent to see.
Starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys? He's swimming in endorsement money. That said, it's a good move and I don't mean to take anything away from that.
