Don't apologize for posting the thread, it's pretty hard to get coverage stateside. Sounds like it was a pretty darn good game. Congrats and good luck in the finals.

They haven't picked a good coach since Shula left, but the fact remains while Nicky was there the Fish would not and could not bring in a good coach. They now, unfortunately, have a possibility of doing so. Although personally, I'm hoping for them going off the board and picking Rich Kotite. 3rd time's gotta be the charm. Right?

So basically, you can find 1 criminal act on or off the ice at the NHL level every 2-3 years. Don't you find that at the NBA level on a weekly basis and on the NFL level on a monthly basis? I don't disagree that 9 games is too short. If the league is sending a message, it should have been 40-82 games; and on it's own merit it should have been 10-20.

The painted one is narrower than the white one. He complained about the way the new one felt and also, as billsfanmiami stated, about his vision while wearing it.

I think it's either NYET, NYET, NYET or NEIN, NEIN, NEIN.

It didn't look like a slew foot to me. The 2 were crashing the net and Jaro kept him outside and with the 2 battling, basically caused Nichol to run the post HARD. No data on where the play is on the net. It's probably on YouTube somewhere. Jaro was not moving prior to the MSG broadcast going to commercial. That is probably why the Nashville trainer came out as well. According to MSG after the game, X-rays were negative on Jaro and they made it sound like he was ok but the team was going to watch him overnight, presumably to make sure he doesn't have a concussion. I think Nichol should get 10-20 games, but the fact that Jaro skated off the ice under his own power will probably put it at ~3-5 games. Hopefully this coming so soon after the NBA showcased itself and gave its scoring leader a 15 game suspension will shame the NHL into giving a 4th liner a real suspension, but I won't hold my breath waiting for it.

It's funny you mentioned the q about the no shows. American Airlines pilots were having a "sickness strike" at the time. My aunt and uncle were trying to fly up to Buffalo from Lauderdale and got stuck in Dulles for a day (fortunately, they weren't coming up for the game). Apparently there were quite a few people that were trying to get up into town for the game. So the cool thing is, most of those 45 no shows were fish fans stuck in an airport.

Rochester and Syracuse are blacked out.

1. Explain to me, Mr. Reading Comprehension, how stating "Lori had some good advice" is messing with her? 2. Yes. And, you have apparently never been to a game at Mile High. It is a SLIGHT exaggeration, but I can say that because when the populations of the rest of the Broncos' market are added up, Colorado makes up slighly less than 1/2 the entire market. It definitely isn't the vast majority of the market as the region noted for the Bills was, and the point I was making was that portion of the market alone is 28% larger than the Bills market is. 3. I know the Bills know where their fan base comes from. I'm not certain what that has to do with the current discussion.

If you aren't including Denver as a comparable as a small market, why throw it in there in the 1st place? Also, (using 2000 data, current would make Buffalo's size even smaller in comparison) Buffalo's MSA had 1,170,111 people, Denver's 2,581,506. Throwing in your additional areas (minus Toronto, when Bills games start getting even 10,000 Canadians in attendence, then we'll consider adding TO; although I did include Erie even though only 1/3 of the people there are Bills fans) plus Elmira to Buffalo's total gives WNY 3,372,342 and only counting the state of Colorado (which is ENTIRELY Denver's market and only a small portion of it) gives Denver's market 4,301,261. So locally, Buffalo's market is only 45% of Denver's and even comparing Buffalo's region to only a portion of Denver's puts Buffalo's market at 78% the size of Denver's. Lori had some good advice. Do your homework next time.

Not only is Denver one of the 20 largest MSA's, they draw fans from at least a 6 state area. They have many STH's in Wyoming and further out. If NYC, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Cincy ALL didn't have teams, then a slight case could be made for Denver and Buffalo being comparables.

Considering the hole in the ozone layer was undetectable prior to the mid-'80's, do you have a reason for us to believe it didn't exist prior to the ability to detect it?

g) blood test. That would get painful after a while.

I can't really say anything about Magnolia, because you couldn't pay me to see it; but LiT was extremely disappointing.

1,2 what's in the stew, 3, 4 no one's really sure, 5,6 what's in the mix, 7, 8 this stuff tastes ....

In the sense that they don't slam the opponent in the corner and then walk out with the puck while their opponent is laying in a heap, you are correct. However, Sabre pressure in the offensive zone leads to a LOT of turnovers for the Sabres - especially for the Briere line and whatever line Roy is playing on. While that isn't necessarily a "classic" forecheck, those turnovers are definitely due to strong forechecking.

Well, they're 80% "heritable", so there is a 20% component to luck that's due to environment, or stated another way luck can be due to being in the right place at the right time (which is what most people consider luck in the 1st place). So 20% of luck is due to being lucky.

As near as I can tell, and I could be mistaken as this whole issue becomes rather convoluted (at least in the minds of some people), the apparent regression towards the mean of IQ scores supports eugenics because the people that get scores high enough to warrant inclusion in the eugenics program (or are the smart people out of the program, again it gets confusing) do so due to luck so they and their children don't actually warrant inclusion in the program (or warrant exclusion from the program) so pretty soon we end up where no one is allowed to breed and PETA finally realizes their ultimate goal of animals living free of human encumbrances.

Throw in a little bit of luck and they have the rest of the tools already in place.

No experience with it. American Cancer Society website seems to have a lot of info about it. Sorry to hear your mother has it. I hope they found it soon enough.

Something about that sentence that just doesn't sound right. I always thought they were doing something else to them.

Thanks.

I will take your word for it that the correlation between the 2 is significantly lower. My bad. I made an assumption off the word "somewhat". (A rather poor assumption, it would appear.) Out of curiosity, (because at this moment I don't have time to try to track it down although I'm pretty sure links to it have been posted somewhere in 1 of the 30 threads on this subject, sorry) do you know off hand what a typical parent - child IQ correlation is or what range is typical?
