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?

Figured I would start a thread for general discussion. Competitions started tonight (mid-morning in South Korea). Opening ceremony I believe is going to be on tape delay tomorrow night unless you want to watch it live at like...6am tomorrow.

As far as watching the Olympics, we don't have cable TV so I opted to subscribe to YouTube TV. It's $35/mo, no contract, lets you stream on multiple devices. It's a 7 day trial and then the subscription bills, so if it doesn't work for you at least you... Читать дальше...

Makes sense...the only guy who actually plays hard every night and is having a career year, has good possession numbers on an abysmal possession team...but yeah, lets trade him...

WATCH | HC Chris Taylor announces captain and assistant captains for the upcoming 2017-18 season.

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.

How this thread works:

Last year coming out of the All-star break, the Sabres had 60 points and 22 games remaining. Working on assumption that 93 points is roughly where the playoff bubble sits at the end of the season, the Sabres needed 33 of 44 available points to have a reasonable shot at the playoffs. Starting out the year, there are 164 points available minus 94 points (I'm moving the bubble up a point) == 70 points that can be lost before making the playoffs becomes rather unlikely.

The prehistory of this thread comes from me and Taro talking about the line matching during the preseason. It's hard to pay attention watching online, so I had to look at how Housley is matching lines using the NHL's html reports. Normally I would sit on this for a while, because it's difficult to tell if the numbers are right, but this is interesting for me, so I'm going to go ahead and post, and if I decide the numbers are wrong, there's worse things in life than being wrong on the internet.

Who's in? I'm not but this deserves discussion.

We have a Bogo bunker so this seems similar.

Time for a new one
 

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

I know it's way too soon, but the 2018-2019 line up is going to be challenging CAP-wise.  I know a lot can happen, but the team is at $64 mil this year.  I figure Jack gets $10 mil and Sam gets retiring Georges money (3.9mil).  That leaves them at $74 million (if the team signs all others at their 2018 levels, including Kane).  If Beaulieu gets $1.5 and Girgs get $1mil this year and next, you can see it gets tight.  The places to get relief are buyouts of Moulson, Pominville, and Bogo.  Also goalie...
