JS I have never been but always wanted to go.
That's the one where up stairs all you see is a shuffleboard table and then stairs going down stairs right?

Yup. Looks like nothing from the outside. A fine bar downstairs. Good shuffleboard table upstairs.

EK has Duclair to the Isles. Why would they move him so soon? Garth has to be worried about reports the owners are looking to hire a president.

Step back from that ledge my friend. This is EK your talking about. He has about a 0.5% accuracy rate. Remember the Strome to Phoenix fiasco right before the season?

Yeah we want to go
Are you in Greenport? Or a Neihboring town?

Worse than the whole dog house thing was the fact that Crappy had no idea how to use the guy. Sure he missed a ton of chances with the Isles, but he was effective at keeping the opposing defense on their heels.

I always liked Grabner even with his stone hands. I'll take scoring on 15% of the breakaways if the player is getting a breakaway per game*.



* I made up the 15% and the one breakaway per game. I have no idea what the real numbers are.

He didn't know how to use him. Just like he doesn't know how to use the majority of the talent on this team. He's (frank)ing clueless. Gremlin created chances and kept the defense at the blue line. They couldn't pinch with him on the ice.

HEY! Focus people! I'm here now. Let's get back to the talk of how crappy sucks.

There are no days off when it comes to getting crappy fired. Dedication man, dedication. 24/7 get crappy fired. Btw, Edm-Ana is a pretty good game.

Ek's E Rumor scale:

E1 - Heard it from the cashier at Victoria's Secret
E2 - Had a dream last night
E3 - Heard it standing at the urinal at last nights Flyers game
E4 - It was in my fortune cookie
E5 - my Cousins, Brothers best Friends, Sisters, Aunts, Cousins boyfriend, used to live next to an NHL GM, he told me

So let's be honest, we need to pay attention to these rumors

The Isles being aggressive is the funniest part of it all.

Anybody but Lafontaine. As big a fan I was of him as a player on the Isles, I have to wonder whether his concussion history has affected him adversely. He seems to leave team jobs quickly and suddenly with little explanation (both the Sabres and Isles previously). Frankly, I worry about his mental stability.

I love Patty but not for the president job. I would not mind another spot with the club.

Any of you guys ever been to Die Stammkneipe/ Der Schwarze Koelner? Thinking of heading there for an hour before the game?

The German place I mentioned or St. Gambrinus? Anyone recommend? I love a good German beer and I also love a great craft beer.

I don't get the love affair with craft beers. Can you tell me what makes a craft beer better than the hundreds of other beers available? That's a serious question, I'm not giving you poop.

Three things on grabner

AV is using him correctly

He is healthy

Grabner is playing like he did rookie year. Scoring a ton of ugly goals because he is working his butt off, driving the net and actually stopping there. How many fly bys of the crease did he do for us

Made in smaller batches from better ingredients and taste more like the intended recipes. Also more alcohol in it and made from small business owners that actually love what they do. It's like going for a sandwich at subway or your local deli
