All ESPN has to do now is hire Bug Eyes Nancy Grace and that drama queen Jim Cantore over at the weather channel. Have those 2 on a panel with Smith, and maybe we will get lucky enough and the scene from Scanners will happen and all 3 heads will explode simultaneously. That would indeed give me a reason to throw candy to the neighbors. God let it happen!

I thought the administration had already sent out a quiet warning on the survival of Mecca. I believe the Muslims say Mecca will always survive. If it were destroyed, it would prove the Islamic faith to be fallable and a sham. Mecca would be the main course......Medina (not NY) would be dessert.

Joe Cribbs.....Doug Flutie.....Tom Cousineau

I do believe Connolly is a group II restricted free agent.

Connolly I believe played with the Swiss team SC Langnau. He had a concussion from what I had read.....not a leg injury.

Since Tennessee will most likely be about 4-12.....it should be a high 3rd rounder.

You are correct. That is why the Sabres need to throw away their current Mad Cow Disease ensemble.

He has no spot on the team.

the freshmaker. Ah mahself would like to take a kaiserblade, some people call it a slingblade, to the haid of the twitwad on da vonage commercial. :madface:

Yes, Jack Johnson would probably be the 2nd overall pick. Certainly a good choice for the Sabres, a team devoid of blueline talent in prospect pipeline. 3rd overall? Most people seem to side with Gilbert Brule. After that you have names like Bobby Ryan, Anze Kopitar, Benoit Pouliot.

Yes, somewhere in Canada......I forget the name now, but I will try and find it. Anyhoo, it fell into the range that the Sabres are in.....with a 6-7% chance of landing the #1 overall pick.

There is a website set up that runs a simulation for a weighted NHL lottery. I gave it a spin 125 times......The Sabres got the #1 pick on 9 occasions.

I have a feeling that management is going to be more conservative than the fans are thinking right now. I do see probably two decent additions through free agency, certainly one on defense whether Zhitnik returns or not.

Chirac and English cuisine.....he obviously didn't take any cues from the Toronto mayor in regards to hosting the Olympics.

WINDOM!!!!!!! Where all the scary hooligans of the Orchard Park school district took up shelter.

What happened to Salfrancos?

I like the idea that the changes in economic policy in the NHL will help dictate changes in on-ice personnel as well.

Good man. Northeast Division Felix Potvin - Bruins - could still be a backup goalie somewhere, but the reigns will be handed over to Andrew Raycroft. James Patrick - Sabres - class guy, but at 42....how long would he hold up? Patrice Brisebois - Habs - he prolly won't retire, but he is very pricey, and very mediocre, albeit not old, 34. Dominik Hasek - Senators - oddball extraordinaire. Says the league has to start up....it will. But will he stick around? Peter Bondra - Sens - offered up nothing at the end of the last season. Waste of money. The Toronto Dusties Belfour - way too much money for a 40 year old goalie. Dem bones iz aboot to break. Leetch - not the same player he once was.....and pricey. Roberts - old, not very productive and expensive.....bad mix with the new CBA Nieuwendyk - a bit like Roberts Mogilny said he was going to retire, and Owen Nolan would cost Toronto a pretty penny as well. Scott Stevens, battered, pricey, old. Mariusz Czerkawski......prolly headed back to Europe. Sean Burke.....old goalie caught in a numbers game in Philly. John Leclair - old, awful contract, no production, injury problems.....Philly needs to waive goodbye. Tony Amonte - Flyers don't want to deal with the salary, lack of production. Vlad Malakhov - already left Philly Rangers - Kasparaitis, Mironov, Messier, Holik, Jagr.....either too old, or too expensive. Rangers need to gut out the fat salaries and mediocre production. Mario Lemieux should retire, but he prolly won't. Other names around the league who are either aging, too expensive, dropping production, injury problems....or a combination: Glen Wesley, Shawn McEachern, Bret Hedican, Rod Brindamour, Sean Hill, Scott Mellanby, Alex Karpotsev, Tim Taylor, Arturs Irbe, Luke Richardson, the Detroit Dusties: Cujo, Chelios, Schneider, Hatcher, Lang, Yzerman......Jason York, Al MacInnis, Eric Weinrich, Dallas Drake, Bryan Savage, Igor Ulanov, Vincent Damphousse, maybe Rob Blake, Sergei Zubov, Don Sweeney, Pierre Turgeon, Rob Dimaio, Romie Chokemagic, Stephane Quintal, Luc Robitaille, Jason Allison, Adam Deadmarsh, Trent Klatt, probably Brett Hull........and probably some others.

Last face to face meeting is supposed to be today. Board of Governors meeting on Monday.

Tibbs, would you be so kind as to pull the Bentley round......

Buffalo hit 99 back in July of 1988. I remember, cause Linda Pellegrino was doing the weather on channel 7 and she had that dutch boy woodpecker haircut of hers back in the day.

Only if you are in Erie or Bradford will you catch a break. I do believe that hot air from the direction of DC or even beyond further down southway yonder runs up the eastern side of the Appalachians. Therefore.....Chambersburg to York, Lancaster, Harrisburg and eastward get the hot "put the jeans over your head and turn the car on to recreate the smog" type weather.
