I'm not blaming Fred, I'm just saying he seems to go down a fair amount. We had 3 quality RBs on the roster and injuries happen, no one can predict it.

Team doctors knew McCoy was (frank)ed. He only played because of the big contract. I have a family member who is a doctor that reviewed the McCoy situation. He said he was surprised he survived week one. He won't be right till next season.

7 yards a carry before getting rolled on.

7 yards per carry would be impressive if it wasn't such a small sample size and his other 2 carries didn't average 2.5 yards (he had a 16 yard run)

Yeah, basically employees from each company, using the data they have access to in order to achieve the best scores and then playing on the competitors site.

I stay to 50:50 for most of my bets

double ups
triple ups quint ups

a few lower end tourneys


after reading this I am not even doing the tourneys anymore


started out with $200, now at $775 (just put $500 in my pocket)


the match your deposit is a big scam though, they release pennies on the dollar

Im up a few hundred this year, i dont go anywhere near the Tourneys, besides this insider trading news, there is people on there who run bots and have hundreds of entrys. I run with the double and triple ups. Probably about 75% on the double ups i think those are the safest bet to only have to beat out 50 people

I'm assuming you're probably cooped up in your house. Or are you in an area that didn't get a lot of flooding?

24" since Oct. 1st about 10 minutes from my house, but I'm back to work today. The river by my work is so flooded it has overtaken about 1/2 mile of road. Luckily we're still a short distance from there (a couple hundred feet).

"Opening day is tomorrow, first day of the season is tomorrow, and we’ll make our roster tomorrow," coach Dan Bylsma said Tuesday in First Niagara Center. "So we’ll see tomorrow, but I will tell him."

Coach Dan Bylichek.

Well, I'm glad you're safe. I know how awful I felt after being cooped up in my house during Snowvember last year. It felt good to actually get to go into the office for work.

I give: Kuzsnetov & Drouin or Myers(my choice)
I get: Nelson & Spezza

It's a deep 12 team league. Anyone think Drouin can stay on a line with stammer?

I'm sure you know by now, but Bylsma said the 23 on ice today were his opening night lineup. 13 F, 8 D, 2 G. #Eichelmania begins.

Wouldn't be so bad if it was just me, rather than me, wife and 2 kids.

Thanks goose, things didn't get too bad at the house until "late" on Sunday during all this when we saw the water had suddenly really pooled in the yard (1 acre lot btw, so it's a lot of water).

Took a fun walk outside, barefoot, to move some stuff around our outbuilding and get it off the floor. On the way, saw the damn fire ants surviving by making their own damn islands on the surface of the water...bastards.

The water was about 6 or 7 inches deep

Why would you go barefoot?? That seems dangerous unless you could see through the water fine, but typically in situations like that it's not really all that clear.

Yerdon is NHL.com's reporter on the Sabres beat. His tweet seems pretty authoritative.

Bylsma is killing me here. Seeing the same line twice in a row is a rarity. Makes things interesting and annoying. Mr. Featured (Kane) is bumped to the 2nd line.
And to use everyone's favorite phrase "to be fair.." Kane and Eichel's speed will mesh extremely well together. My concern here is Gionta's lack of offensive ability bringing them down. Then again, Brandon Sutter is playing with the Sedin's. I don't even know what color grass is anymore.

To be fair, that is one of my personal favorites.

Good, he should.

It still boggled my mind how many people wrote him off as in the AHL when he outperformed Eichel, who everyone (rightfully) had penciled in the opening night roster, both times the two had played head to head.
