It's a mix
- sbroads24



If u take the effort to make your own, it'll change your world
Especially if u used fresh squeezed juices

If u don't have a juicer, microwave tough limes &/or lemons then roll them on the counter pressing down hard to release the juice inside. Cut in half & hand squeeze through a wire strainer.

I know it sounds like a lot,
But I promise...
You'll never use store bought mix again

Ranking him on a list of all-time forwards is gonna be tough
If Gretzky & Mario didn't exist, I wonder how many scoring titles & MVPs he could've won

Being czech and being a winger dont help him in the rankings. Prolific scorer in his prime, numbers would be even better if part of his career wasnt in the trap era, multiple cups, and consistent production well into his 40s. Damn impressive. He scored one of the best goals ive ever seen- an overtime breakaway goal on hasek, he did the forsberg move at what looked like 100mph.

If you put Gretzky, Orr & Mario as the top3, which seems pretty generally accepted... Then you'd have to think he's at least in the next group with Messier, Bossy, Howe, etc

I get the arguments for Mario or Orr ahead of Gretzky, but he has more assists than anyone else has points.
He was just so much better at scoring & setting up goals than anyone else

I won.

I had Krecji (got a goal and assist in the 3rd)
Tyson Barrie had 3 points
Quick had a great game

The key that I have found is to have a balance of guys that will always produce and guys that are unknown. I do a lot of the pools that have like 300 people and the top 60 win money. Even guys like Seguin are only on 15% of the other teams. I picked Grigorenko and Parenteau as my cheap sleepers

The person that won the whole pool won because he had OV and Barrie

Don't agree with all of it....
But this is a decent article on some of our prospects

Idk to me, Orr was the best, and as for pure skill, Mario was better than Gretzky. Before Lemieux came out of retirement, he was the only player to average more than 2 points per game. He had to deal with a lot more than Gretzky, and still put up the numbers he did.

If you're making you're own juice mix for it...
2 parts lime juice
1 part lemon juice
1 part orange juice
It's not traditional, but adding the OJ keeps it from being overly tart & provides a nice balance.
If it's fresh squeezed juices (which I HIGHLY recommend), use simple syrup or agave nectar to sweeten to your liking if u need to

And a quality tequila really makes a difference

- jdfitz77


I know it borders on blasphemy, but I love sour mix in margaritas frozen which I find cuts down on the sourness a bit as well, I like adding a lime cordial too the mix as well and Long Island iced teas too. Not really a fan of whiskey sours though unless it's really poopty whiskey like if someone gets married and they cheap out on the booze and the whiskey is like turpentine.

Eichel isn't a prospect, and I wouldn't say McCabe is either. Funny how Reinhart isn't on that list either. If Eichel and McCabe are Reihart should be too since Reinhart has a whole 6 games up on Jack. The article is only a day old too, so it's not like it was written before the season before Eichel or Reinhart played.

My guess is we win today against Pitt.

Mallon out, MAF sick, send day of a back to back, Crosby is flat, and Leonard is ENGAGED.

Mike Milbury will turn blue with frustration, but in the end he can suck it.

Why do you think Lenner saw everything so well last night? Who clears those lanes and that crease? If not any single defender, who sets that tone? Pysyk? McCabe?

Did you see the TWO turnovers Pysyk gift wrapped last night, early in the second and mid-third? The lost battles on the wall, all through the game?

None of these guys are perfect, but all of them make contributions. ALL of them.

This is a very good post.
Not great, as there were not any -
Hyphens, semi-coins, colons.
Very good use of comma's, capitalization, and spelling out numbers.
Trending in the right direction though.

The write up didn't make sense as you pointed out in the comment section about ranking prospects that are full time Sabres. He failed to include Will Borgen or Estephan as well.

Based on it though, my top 10 prospects now would be:

1. Ullmark
2. Bailey
3. Fasching
4. Petersen
5. Guhle
6. Schaller
7. Baptiste
8. Cornel
9. Borgen
10. Hurley/Martin

I wonder if Dwight Schrute would have any interest in signing overage WHL winger Dryden Hunt. He plays for Moose Jaw and is undrafted and leads the league with 45 goals and 93 points in 58 games. He has hat tricks in 4 of his last 5 games. Dreger reports at least 4 clubs are interested in signing him to a 3 year entry level deal. He's a 6'0 200lbs and a left winger. Looks like a late bloomer.

Cheers!

With regard to Bogosian, we have time to deal with him. His $5m salary is a concern given his level of play, however he does bring that physical element to the game. If not for him in the top 4, the others are too soft. Yes, I have see Risto hit hard, and lay people out...but I haven't seen him absolutely trash guys in front of the net.
Some will mock the physicality point, but they must seem to forget the way playoff hockey is played.
The point is, he is serviceable for the next couple of years...then we can trade him when more of the prospects are ready to step up.
