ya pretty much the ONLY news story around here last fall.

MaxWebster

SWEET. thanks for the tip - just flipped over

a) no guarantees - we may be the worst team but Enroth stole too many games. honest. and with Hall down for 6 weeks in Edmonton... b) the better reason of course is that Enroth is an UFA. getting something >>>>> getting nothing. a 2nd or 3rd rounder is definitely something. there's no reason to keep...

MaxWebster

nothing to be sorry about, he's horrible. that's kind of the point. :)

MaxWebster

thanks Johnnie, for not taking offence to that. i actually think mixing something like sports (or most/everything) with military is horrible, and it's not in any "oh you hate the military" way, just that it's despicable and almost quite literally "the least" someone can do. it's ...

MaxWebster

i like that Timbers uni. love the colours so to me hard to screw that up

MaxWebster

i have such an aversion to camo uniforms/caps on so many levels i can barely be rational. christ.

MaxWebster

not really, Andrey Makarov is probably their best, still in the W. by most accounts (take w grain of salt as always) Enroth likes it in Buffalo and as he's a UFA could always re-sign there in the summer. it's getting something (3rd, 2nd if Dallas goes to 2nd round this year) for nothing and making t...

MaxWebster

this. yes everyone overrates their own prospects because we only see them as matching their ceiling/potential. that rarely happens. not excusing it but it's true and in this case...ah, i'll just copy what i just wrote to a few friends: "doesn't really matter if it's clear or who won though does...

MaxWebster

wow, just like he was glad-handing in Hamilton 5 years ago!

Going to take a little educational work out here for some folks.

MaxWebster

plus he got Springsteen. Bottom of the 9th.

MaxWebster

bapo! sums up perfectly what has most turned me off of sports as i get older. Dear Sir, I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Thank you, MaxWebster ... but I'm also used to being sold a bill of goods every time I watch a game. Everything is the biggest or the best or the most something or ot...

MaxWebster

dammit, am just seeing this and have only a minute but the first thing i wanted to go to was the Maurice Richard commercial because i remember that without even watching....but i just did. "2 minutes for looking so good" - damn i remember quoting that quite a bit. classic! i'll bet i watch...

MaxWebster

a) this post/thread is epic. I for one would like more of these Mr. Bapo! if that is your name.

b) Jeff...___? the comedian in the Bud Light commercial...? i think?

MaxWebster

not a Twitter...er? in any way but this makes me feel better. I like your positive-thinking twist Mr D! maybe it's actually me with the Buffalo-paranoia. I just want this utter gongshow of a 2-year stretch to be worth it. Not sure if you follow Ryan Lambert on twitter, but he's at a ton of BU games ...

MaxWebster

i just don't know. First of all, finishing 29th is not an option! must.finish.30th. (because obviously finishing 29th gives about an 80% chance of drafting 3rd...) I just sent a similar email to a bunch of friends...I've seen Eichel a few times and sure, he's obviously good, but I've had this suspic...

MaxWebster

holy crap. Sabres hang on (for dear life) and break the 14-gamer. (i'm glad...not really wanting to go into the books for the longest losing streak). First period they actually had a +Corsi for the first time in...? the last 30-40 minutes (and last 20 especially) were hilariously one-sided. Jonas En...

MaxWebster

that All for Leyna isn't at least #2 is so wrong (Miami 2017 i would accept).

i'm hardly a diehard but i've got a few albums and was a fan as a kid but Leyna just kills me to this day. angsty-Billy. Plus it just rocks.

i really should waste 3 hours and make a Rush list like this.

MaxWebster

i'm probably 6 years behind the times on this but ima be deleting my fb account this week... honestly been annoying for years and i rarely even go but reading these points just drove home how i don't even want an account. plus i may even post something about food/sports/politics before i go :D http:...

MaxWebster

that fuckin' guy pitched to the SCORE, nerd.

MaxWebster

HA they sucked playing only .600 ball. :D yeah, it's kind of hard to describe how...over...that season was. no wild cards obv so from May on it was just playing out the string in the AL East. my dad drove us to Boston that summer and i saw 3 games, i think the Red Sox took 2 from them which was mira...

MaxWebster

um....yeah. wow - can't believe i've never heard this before (...i suppose i have, actually...) Randy California's composition Taurus is widely believed to have been ripped off by Plant and Page for the famous guitar intro to Stairway to Heaven . Led Zeppelin had played gigs with Spirit at which Tau...

MaxWebster

84 Tigers - most dominant one-year team of my lifetime. Incredible. That season was over on May 1st. Hell it was over 2 weeks in, i think they won their first 9 games? then had another maybe 7 or 8 game win streak? More amazing I think due to really how few legends were on that squad (Trammell and W...

MaxWebster

...reading back over that again... it sounds/reads like i'm almost proud of how bad they are.

hm. maybe i am.

it's either fully embracing it or being completely miserable. i choose the former. mostly because i (want to) believe that summer 2015 will be very exciting in terms of change.

MaxWebster

that's the media pressure. they stink but garden-variety stink. we seriously wouldn't beat the Marlies in a 7-gamer.

MaxWebster

0 for January.

that's not just wins - that's points.

your 2014-2015 Buffalo Sabres!

MaxWebster

yeah, um....no. they just cannot. and Hoffman probably would have been #1/2 had it not been for TJ surgery. they can't.

(....right?)

MaxWebster

a silly/crazy thing to argue about but ... no. Watch (if you can) say, 2 Sabres games. then look at the numbers - the real numbers, the possession stats. it's staggering. Sure these stats have only been kept for 10-15 years but this team is literally breaking the scale of awfulness. However i will s...

MaxWebster

i'll say it again: this year's Sabres are easily in the discussion of worst NHL team ever. weird, as there are a few talented guys on the roster (esp very young) but as a team - expansion Ottawa and Washington come to mind. It's a toss-up. degen sort of nails it wrt goaltending - the Sabres had that...

MaxWebster

honestly SC...i'm not sure the Sabres would win 2.

sancarlos wrote:I think the Sabres would win a seven game series against the Ollers.

MaxWebster

make the bag bigger.

I'll listen to the case that this year's Buffalo team is among the 5 worst in NHL history.

(seems unfair that they only will have at best a 20% shot at McDavid...)

more than made-up for with the Healy/Juice photo. we're all good. come on Pruitt: Western New York . not upstate. WNY. right. onward.

i'm mostly an apologist for things i already like :) but i thought it was beyond ponderous; totally disappointed. one chapter of the original book stretched to 2+ hours of a CGI war movie. the ending scenes of Bilbo returning to The Shire were my favourites. Maybe I'm just a peace-loving hobbit myse...

MaxWebster

Sgt Hulka!?!

(that trailer shows nothing. yet i'm finding myself needing to see this movie.)

MaxWebster

why blow it up.... and yet sign Nick Markakis? i don't get the Braves. then again, i've never liked 'em so i'm good with it. (having said that...i don't get this from Houston's POV either, unless there's some companion move yet to be played out. why seemingly jump the gun ... on someone like Gattis?)

MaxWebster

come on Pruitt:

Western New York. not upstate. WNY.

right. onward.

i'm with 'loma. Cinnamon isn't quite at the ketchup level but as an additive to something that needs no additive? fuck the heck? that's almost like putting ice in your Scotch. i always said i hated cinnamon (the smell alone of cinnabons is awful) but when making ~Thai food, throw a cinnamon stick (o...

MaxWebster

apologies if this has been discussed already - i would say to have no illusions that the Sabres are so far and away the worst team in the NHL and that it's not even close... during their disappointing* "hot streak" in December (going by flawed memory here) they were something like 10-3 and...

possible responses:

a) which still would leave roughly half among the biggest morons in amerika

b) which proves how horrible the actual PRO-cess actually is

some asshole voted for Darin Erstad.
