  1. I imagine they play some variation of night crawlers and tag but probably not grab ass or anything that requires opposable thumbs. Hooves are a limiting factor. Mostly, I imagine they're fairly serious creatures with little time for games but they do travel in herds so there is certainly an opportunity for fun.
  2. I knew it before the time period you're describing.
  3. If Buffalo can't support a national Pickleball franchise how will the Bills and Sabres ever remain viable here? Losing two franchises with no local interest in irrelevant semi-pro leagues really was the final nail in the coffin for WNY, IMO.
  4. The 5 minute major was a back breaker.
  5. OP, in the future you would be wise to assume that anyone contacting you and offering to help is likely running a scam. The only people who would know if your PC was hacked without you taking your machine to a professional to be scanned, is the group doing the hacking. I had an interesting hack where all of the sudden I get an email from my bank about changes to my profile and for the next 30 minutes in the email connected to my banking profile I receive a barrage of hundreds of emails to spam my inbox and bury the messages from my bank. Someone made it into my account and burned all of my credit card reward points. No money was moved, no transactions. Just reward points used or transferred. I had 2FA with password and cell notifications. No one should have been able to access the account even if my gmail was compromised. No passwords were changed in the process and I was never locked out of email or bank. I am 99% sure this was a Chase weakness that was exploited that they did not cop to. All points were returned and I lost nothing in the process but I occasionally still get emails from Polish self help gurus.
  6. Dahlin is improving defensively and has gotten considerably better in his own zone. He has vastly reduced the number of WTF plays he used to make and now hes often the guy who gets hung out to dry on odd man rushes rather than the reason for 2 on 1s. He still gets caught puck watching, near a guy but not on a guy. Honestly, its hard for me to even critique defensive play in this era since long gone are the days where you could actually mug a guy just for standing in front of your net. So take my assessment with a shaker of salt. I dont know how they coach them to play in the open ice era. I know I see a lot more strange positioning, like two Dmen behind the net for puck support when a winger is standing in front of the net alone. That was a cardinal sin years ago. Dahlin is an elite puck moving defenseman and offensive threat. His skating ability and puck handling really shine when hes working the point. The time and space he buys with subtle movements is really amazing. He added some scoring touch this year when healthy but its clear hes been dealing with injuries down the stretch. With Power and Dahlin in the lineup we really need a few more stay at home, reliable defenseman who are tough to play against. Team defense is a major priority next year. I believe scoring was a major emphasis this year as Granato has pointed out many times this team was last in scoring when he took over and you cant win or entertain anyone without filling the net. To get the fans back, offense was a priority.
  7. A little statistical backup.
  8. I hope you got screen shots. I really didn't picture him as an orange juice guy. Free agency is wild.
  9. They Bengals offense did go on a quarter long swoon and then some. Our offense had nothing all day. It looked like a bunch of guys who did not believe in the game plan.
  10. If you want to know why Buffalo can't have an IFL franchise you need to go back and look at labor negotiations with United Iron Workers and Lackawanna steel circa 1939. Its been all downhill since then, youngins.
  11. They have completely imploded in a number of games. I wouldn't call it quitting since I still see effort but it looks like total panic mode once they give up a goal. They press, Dmen start pinching at horrible times, the odd man rushes start, and the wheels come off. Every night we see goals scored where defenders are actually in good position but everyone is just watching the puck. Passing lanes are open and forwards are sneaking in behind our D and wingers. Its not good enough to be standing in the right spot. Apparently this team simply cannot play defense without Samuelsson in the lineup. Anderson was poor last night, no question, but most of the odd man rushes were stupid mistakes. I believe first line was on the ice for 3 against last night before the empty netter. Preds game could have been different if Olofsson or Skinner do anything with their chances before the game was out of reach. Power play has been poor for weeks now and offense is not burying their chances.
  12. Pretty much all the goodwill from earlier in the season is going out the window during this skid. Really damaging. This team has been very fortunate injury wise too. There aren't any excuses for how poorly they've played since January.
  13. Thats it? Hildegard showed off almost enough range to be in a bad Velvet Undergound cover band.
  14. Much has been said about Levi riding on minor league buses and eating Rochester food, but I trust they will give him at least a year in the AHL before he takes the starting job for the Sabres. I expect he will see a decent number of call ups along the way.
  15. That is a strange grouping.
  16. Seinfeld (except season 1) Simpsons seasons 2 through 12 The Office Seasons 1 through 10 Always Sunny seasons 1 through 5 Parks and Rec (seasons 2 through finale) South Park seasons 1 through 10 Short lived Eastbound and Down Season 1 is phenomenal. I don't acknowledge anything that came after Arrested Development Seasons 1 through 3 Family Guy was funny early but got old quickly after it came back on the air I think Seinfeld did it right. 10 years is about the maximum life span over which a show can maintain excellence.
  17. Cut your mother some slack. Its the only one you've got.
  18. I would also take Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Buddy Clinton, and George Clinton. Or perhaps Jeb, George, Neil, Marvin, and Rachel Bush.
  19. But what if James Cook can recruit his brother Dalvin to come to town on a mega deal so James can sit on the bench?
  20. William Henry Harrison, Taft, Coolidge, Millard Fillmore, Carter
  21. Larry Bird invented the slam dunk. Pretty important contribution to the game. He was a really bright guy.
  22. The Royal Blood is my favorite newer rock band. They were surprisingly good live too.
  23. Against Me, Rise Against, and pretty much anything playing on a rock station these days all sounds like Creed to me and I mean that in the only way possible. Its a sad state of affairs but I have not found a new band or artist of any genre that I care about in the last 5 to 10 years. Most of what I'm finding is a new appreciation for bands that I overlooked in the 90s and early 2000s. I really didnt think it would happen to me.
  24. I have considered buying a switch just for Breath of the Wild. It looks phenomenal.
