[Sabres/Sens]

He's just on the roster to keep things polite. He is certainly no Larry Playfair. Don't worry, Lindy knows exactly what he has, he's not going to get a regular shift unless plague, pestilence, and insanity take over the team.

He's also not going to be on this team anymore if we ever have a completely healthy roster.

[Sabres/Sens]

Peters beat that guy like a rented mule

594659[/snapback]

 

He landed one punch. That's it. If people keep praising the guy for this, he's going to end up playing more. That's the last thing we want to see.

[Sabres/Sens]

I love how they're playing Born in the USA after each big save from Miller. This is one situation where it's ok not to use the superman theme.

[Connolys Injury]

I disagree.  It was clean at the top but he dragged his back leg and that's why Jay Smith went after him.  It wasn't overtly dirty but it wasn't clean either.

 

Kasperpunkass' hit was clean - and unnecessary.  I've been wondering how long it was going to take for someone to do that to Connelly because he's been gaining the zone at speed very effectively alot lately and it was only a matter of time before someone gave him something to think about.  He's been lucky to avoid it because for the most part he's been doing it in the middle of the ice where he's tougher to line up.

I missed the Edmonton game, so I can't comment on that. As for Kasparitis, he stuck out his back leg when he was going for the hit. He didn't make any contact with it, but I think this paints a good picture of his intentions.

[Connolys Injury]

The fact that they are still complaining about the hit makes me wonder if they saw something that we didn't. The one thing I did notice while watching the replays last night was that he stuck out his back leg so he could trip up Connolly if he missed with the hip. Was the hit lower because of the way he stuck out his leg? I don't know.

Boston University.  That's all you had to say.  I lived in Allston at Packards Corner for five years.  Rich kids with no brains.

Funny because that description doesn't fit me at all. Anyway, this was a BC fan, but she does know hockey.

[Anyone see this Female Tennis Hottie?]

They actually let them wear that on the tennis court? Maybe I should watch more tennis.

[Too old to wear a jersey?]

you should've taken her home and shagged her

Absolutely not. The only reason I was even around this one was because she's a friend of a friend.

[Too old to wear a jersey?]

Well, a snappy reply to the snotty young thing would be "I see your point. I think that students should pay full freight for their own education and not try to get loans subsidized by old taxpayers".

 

My heart goes out to the poor schmuck that marries that little darling...

581791[/snapback]

 

I wouldn't say she's young, probably at least 10 years older than me, but yes, I feel sorry for anyone that does marry her.

[Too old to wear a jersey?]

Las weekend, someone gave me crap for wearing a BU hockey jersey to a BU game. She said something like 'only the students should wear jerseys'. My question is, do you think there is a point where you are officially too old to wear a jersey?

 

Obviously, I have no problem with people wearing jerseys to games, other than basketball jerseys, which look ridiculously stupid. Football and hockey jerseys are fine, as long as you're not wearing them in public all the time.

[Golf clubs]

Also I would recommend graphite shafts.  They twist less (stiffer torsion) than steel shafts thus produce straighter shots for off center hits.  So again, steel shafts are only for people who want to shape their shots.

575244[/snapback]

 

I've never actually paid too much attention to that, but I would've thought it was the other way around. Graphite has more flex (so if you have a fast swing speed, that's not so good for irons), so I would've assumed that the torsion would be the same.

[Golf clubs]

It's really a personal thing.  I'd suggest going to a Edwin Watts-type place and hitting some irons.  Try Cavity-back and blades.  Also, try some oversized grips and see how they feel.  Don't forget to ensure the shaft stiffness (cue Beavis laugh) suits your swing.

STAY AWAY FROM BLADES!

 

With the scoring range he mentioned, blades would probably be a terrible option. The only people who should be using blades are pros, and a lot of them won't go near them. They're very effective clubs IF you have the great swing to go along with them.

 

 

If you're really serious, the best option would be to try out a lot of clubs as others have suggested. When you make up your mind, get them fitted. A lot of places will do this for free if you're buying the clubs from them.

One thing I've always wondered is does Jack Bauer ever take a potty break, or does he have a super strong bladder and just hold it for 24 hours?

I read an article on cnn.com the other day that said they actually shot a short scene about that for this season. It may not air though.

[Lightning Waive Andy]

No

[Sabres questions- Do they have enough scorers?]

i think they will finish 4th-6th..first is pretty much out, as Ottawa is in front of them...I would rather have them finish 4th and not kill themselves keeping pace with Ottwawa...

560195[/snapback]

 

Ottawa has shown that they can't play without Spezza and Alfredsson. First place is not out of question if their injuries continue to linger.

[Crowd chant at Sabres games]

Even the "knowledgeable" Leaf fans do it just as bad.

 

It's a hockey thing.

555239[/snapback]

 

It's even worse when you're watching a team with a terrible powerplay. I'm a Boston University season ticket holder and our power play never shoots. Even worse, they just stand still while passing back and forth. The building only seats about 6k, but the screaming is probably louder than any other building I've ever been in.

[Crowd chant at Sabres games]

Another Buffalo tradition is everyone screaming shoot on the Power Play.

That happens everywhere.

[What is your least favorite Christmas song?]

It's the commercial that's been running for about 5 years; it's got the WIBV News Channel 4 crew with the song, where the chorus goes "I hear sleigh bells ring...blah, blah,blah....Happy Holidays from Channel Four!"

Five years? That commercial's been around as long as I can remember.

[My first hockey game]

At least baseball understands how to televise its game.

538326[/snapback]

 

The top announce team in baseball is Joe Buck and Tim McCarver, so that point is debatable.

[My first hockey game]

Hockey is easily the best sport to attend in person and likely the worst to watch on television (though more palatable now with the rule changes).  Football is probably the polar opposite.

538252[/snapback]

 

It's hard to imagine that any sport could be worse on tv than baseball.

[Sabres win again!]

Trade----  Millar or Biron to the Pens for Ziggy!

537607[/snapback]

 

I'll ignore the obvious typo there and ask: why would Pittsburgh trade for a goalie?

[Ryan Miller?]

Which is why I wouldnt be opposed to dealing Biron

537623[/snapback]

 

It's only one game, but it's definitely encouraging.

[The Buffalo Bills, ha...........]

Not every team is willing to give up good prospects for your dump-offs.  Drury is a stud and will likely show his metal in the playoffs - as he always does.  Calgary is alot like Buffalo in the way they build their team (not similiar players, though).  It was a good trade for both sides.

537407[/snapback]

 

I like the deal too, but I'd love it if we still had Ballard. He should be mentioned when talking about that trade. Calgary wanted Reinprecht badly, and the only way to get him from Colorado was by sending them Ballard.

[The Buffalo Bills, ha...........]

Giving up Warrener for Drury (essentially) -- Good.

536271[/snapback]

 

You missed one important detail of that trade. The Sabres also moved Keith Ballard. Ballard has all the makings of a stud defenseman and it would be nice to have him on the blue line right now. I'd probably rather have Drury at this point, but I do wish they could've thrown in a different prospect instead.
