I wonder what these ratings would look like if there was a world cup every year. It never seems right to compare a yearly event to one that happens every 4 years.
-
There are a few other problems.
-The jersey has a CCM tag. All NHL jerseys, other than the Canadiens (and maybe one or two others) now have Reekbok tags. There's also some weird effect going on with that CCM tag that I'm having trouble putting to words.
-The stripe pattern along the sides looks like it was just drawn on using Paint or some other program. Notice how the seem across the bottom in the white section of the jersey disappears in the darker colors.

Devastator is a must. That right there was the greatest toy of all time.

Obviously the character sucked, but I did like the toy. The yellow spoiler (is that what that thing was) was kickass.
One other quick comment, when the inevitable Prime-Megatron fight happens, they need to bring back the "One will stand. One will fall." line.

So far four very solid picks by Sabres....
with pick 147 Alex Biega (Defense)
A friend of mine who writes for a college hockey magazine out here in Boston (Brian Sullivan, Hockey Magazine East) wrote this about Biega:
Alex Biega-104-Harvard5'10 191lbs defense 4/4/88
Salisbury Prep, USHSE 10-17=27 51 PIM 28 GP
Biega was a big name on the recruiting front as the New England Prep School Player of the Year, as named by Hockey Night in Boston. The manner in which the former Quebec U-17 d-man is described by his new head coach Ted Donato might lead you to misplace him on the roster sheet: a “dynamic skater”, a “high-end offensive guy with very good speed” and a strong puck-handler sound like qualities fit for an all-star wing, not a starting blueliner. Donato isn’t worried about Biega’s defense being sacrificed at the hands of his offense, either. “He’s solid defensively,” said the long-time Boston Bruins winger. “Like a lot of young players, he needs to learn to simplify his game, but he’s an extremely good all-around player.” Referring to the 18-year-old as a “momentum-changer”, Biega led Salisbury Prep his senior year with a +45 rating and averaged nearly a point per game. Heavily scouted from every corner of the hockey world, Biega was also drafted by USHL and QMJHL teams despite expressing a strong inclination to play college hockey. Harvard was the final winner, after weeding out the likes of BU, BC, UVM, Maine, Cornell, and UNH to name a few.

"You've got the touch... you've got the power!"
They better use the same exact sound track.

Get rid of those angled stripes and I could live with it. Hockey jerseys should be as simple as possible.

What I was trying to say (atleast the point I was trying to make) is that you don't low ball a player like Briere who is one of the main reasons the team had such great success last year. It doesn't send off a good message to him, or to other possible FA's who may have had interest coming to Buffalo.
It has nothing to do with Buffalo Being a small market, it has to do with being willing to give the players what they deserve and keeping them wanting to play in Buffalo.
I know exactly what you were saying. My point is that no one says this stuff about any of those big market teams even though they do the same exact thing. It's not a shot at you, just a general comment.

Its all the medias fault now if they don't do well next year, or Darcy's if he keeps low balling Buffalo's top player to get them for nothing (Briere was given a qualifying offer of 1.9 mil, and yes I know it is just a starting point for the tender and they will renegotiate, but an offer like that is like spitting in the guys face, this team may be just too cheap to be a champion)
I'm sick of reading comments like this. League-wide, every RFA who receives a qualifying offer is given the absolute minimum. If Philly or Detroit did this to one of their RFAs (and I guarantee that you will), no one would accuse them of being cheap, but since we're the small market, people just assume Darcy's a cheap bastard.

That's #1 on my list when I come home in August. My friends always laugh at me when I tell them how good beef on weck is. They have no idea what they're missing out on.

I'd rather see predictions like this instead of all the New England-Philadelphia predictions we got over the last two seasons.

Something on network television beat something on an obscure cable network?
-
Actually, in April, the month where it's supposed to rain, we got absolutely nothing. They kept talking on the news about how we were way below the average rainfall up to that point. I wish I could go back in time and kick each weather guy who said that.

I'll definitely watch it if I'm around the tv at that time. Now if only they'd pick up the original Transformers cartoons, my youth would be completely revisited.

Unless that reporter called Lindy from the West Coast, that article is 3 hours old. McKee's agent was on GR about an hour ago and said he was going to try to go to Carolina and made it sound more like he had a flu. I would expect someone more closely related to the Sabres to get the story before TSN would.
I don't believe the "he's definitely out" story one bit. Not yet at least.
TSN regularly edits their stories without updating the time. They originally posted the story about McKee's health issue in the 9am hour, that's where the the time at the top of the article comes from.

Is it ok to assume that this guy is a forward? Obviously he's a marginal talent at best since he's stuck in the AHL. One possible reason for not wanting to go to Buffalo is that we are very deep at forward and this guy knows he would never get his break here.
Yeah, that's not the reason, but its better to pretend that it is.
New Sabres logo leaked?

I'm willing to give them the benefit of doubt until I see an actual jersey. The more I think about it, I can live with the crappy logo as long as its a more traditional style jersey (no diagonal stripes, 3 colors max).
