I'll start it off with baseball playoffs beginning tomorrow! I hate the idea of one-game series as too chancy, but I love the idea for the tension and excitement.

This forum is always good for advice on topics outside of hockey and I bet this will be no different. I know Bio has regaled us with stories of her house nightmares, so maybe others have things to contribute?

Although home-ownership not in our immediate plans, Josie and I talk frequently about our desire to stop throwing money into the apartment rental void. Our lives are still a little too unpredictable at the moment, but I think within the next two years I want to take a stab at it.

If you watch it, you'll know the line I'm talking about. This is a place to share the "things/devices/stuff" that you think are AWESOME and you personally endorse and recommend to friends.

What are your/your friends' plans for season ticket renewals? Have they changed since winning the draft lottery?

Time for a new one
 

So my QB ranks are as follows
Rosen
Mayfield
Darnold
Jackson
Allen
Rudolph

There are arguments that all 3 will make the Sabres next year but..........

Who will breakout (take their game to another level) next season and can we get any of them?

Most of these guys are 23-25 years old and because of a departure on their team or commonly a trade to another team, their role increases and their career takes off.

I think ERod is one such candidate. If he wins a job as Jacks LW, I can see him hitting 50 pts next year.

Thoughts?

We all know that his son is a cheating POS, but I had no idea about Bobby until tonight:

Washington v Tampa tonight at 8pm I think

Rasmus has logged a lot of minutes for this team.  Yes he has made his mistakes, but when you compare him around the league he is one of the top Right handed defenseman around.

Would it make sense to trade the first pick for a known superstar (Karlsson)? The guy likely still has 5-6 more great years ahead of him. Even though Dahlin looks like a lock to become a foundational player, there's been others with that reputation who didn't pan out. With Karlsson, you know what you're getting. I'm thinking Ottawa would need to pick up some of his salary in order for Buffalo to be able to fit in under the cap.

I found a lot of threads discussing defense, but not addresssing the defensive scheme...so, here’s my question:

You hear a lot about good coaches adapting their schemes to the available talent, but everything I’ve seen about Buffalo’s D revolves around the (forced?) implementation of Housley’s preferred “offensive” defense. I’m stationed overseas and got to watch exactly one game all of last season so I’d like to know to what extent, if at all, did our coaching contribute to our defensive (and goaltending) deficiencies last season.

I mentioned I was in the Queen City yesterday. Did I see a picture of Cellino of Cellino and Barnes on a Cellino Plumbing truck? Twin? Side gig?

This is a huge and landmark ruling by the Supreme Court...ruled 6-3 that the 1992 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, a Federal Law banning sports betting with very few exceptions, was unconstitutional in its overreach to bar states from enforcing their own sports betting laws.

They said Congress can make the decision if they want but the law cannot and overturned the prohibition on sports gambling...

Huge implications in many states that will now open up sports books(including... Читать дальше...
