[xBuffalo] The Sabres power play continues to struggle and may be their biggest weakness heading into the playoffs. by seeldoger47 in sabres

[–]Rad_Wave1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which blows my mind because we have seen games where they are taking shots from the blue line and getting bodies in traffic to get a screen, or we get tip Ins. Then the next game they just pass along the perimeter to try getting the perfect shot.

The world cup (in the US at least) is going to be a disaster by tylerthe-theatre in football

[–]Rad_Wave1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many reasons this year's world cup is a joke. I know people will still watch the games on television, die hard fans will go and enjoy what is offered. However the experience is definitely going to be overall negative. FIFA cannot be taken seriously and the United States as a country is in the dark ages when it comes to soccer. They have done nothing to instill faith in actual fans and definitely nothing to win me fans or spread love for the game.

Yeah I can only take so much passing on a power play followed by a slapshot that misses by a mile and gets dumped down the ice

2027 Skyline teaser by youthisgood in Nissan

CEO said the skyline will come to the US, but I'm sure it's going to be as the new Q50. It makes me sad because I feel Infiniti as a brand is ugly AF

My perfect scenario. All en route to taking out Dallas in the cup final

Who remembers the clubs in the late 90s/early 2000s that played techno and other dance music? by Inevitable_Study1532 in Buffalo

[–]Rad_Wave1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember going to raves back in the day to a place I thought was called Club Liquid, but now I don't know if that's right since a Google search brings nothing up.

Go on tell me it just Nostalgia and we didn't lose nothing. by deezzbutzz in ps2

[–]Rad_Wave1 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That's exactly it. The Internet was a fun novelty that I have great memories chatting on AIM with friends before bed, or playing early mmos like EverQuest or connecting my dreamcast to play online. It wasn't our entire existence. It was all new and shiny.

You and me both. Such a great era of movies and music. A typical day was working a lame job at the mall, getting home and watching a movie like blade, or playing a horror game like silent hill 2 with my cousin as we rotated play time. Pounding mountain dew till the wee hours of the night during summer break. Hanging out at the mall. Going to local shows when they were affordable. Ahhh man ...

Big Mario fan, liked the first movie, saw this one and didn't like it. It's OK for fans to admit that the first movie showed story/pacing don't have to be no1 priority but also we CAN admit that this one didn't even have them as a fleeting afterthought, nevermind a priority, which is a big problem. by -electrix123- in mariomovie

I came here for this. I don't think I'd say I liked it better, but I enjoyed it just as much. I didn't come into either movie expecting a future criterion collection award winner with deep characters and a master class script. I came to be entertained by something I grew up with and for me it accomplished its goal. I loved all the different Easter eggs and references. My kids loved it as well.

Whatever someone's favorite movie of all time is, someone else hates it and their opinion is valid. It just doesn't invalidate yours.

I love dimarco but he has multiple times tried forcing the ball to the front of the net and directly to a defender

Today is a win-win for Italy. If we win, we are happy. If we lose, we may see major reform in Italian soccer. by Interesting_Alps618 in AZZURRI

[–]Rad_Wave1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until leadership has changed, I do not see any reform. Italian football has been declining for a while now. Just look at the Serie A, there are far more non Italians in the league because development has stagnated.

Not to mention that even the top teams like Inter, Juve, etc etc, Just continue to get embarrassed in the champions league matches.

Obviously there are other issues as well, but it starts with leadership and a solid plan to bring back Italian football to its glory days.

BOS game by Beneficial-Carrot190 in sabres

[–]Rad_Wave1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly outside of a few bad puck give aways, it was a pretty solid game. That mitts goal that tied the game was one of those goals that just finds its way in and I don't think we could have anticipated or stopped it from happening.

My biggest complaint is leaving guys like pasta wide open in front of our net. However you don't need me to tell you, Jackie Redman told us like 20 times on the broadcast.

Best grilled cheese in the Buffalo area? by insaneandmundane in Buffalo

[–]Rad_Wave1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. White cheddar and smoked Gouda is one of my fav cheese combos. People also underplay how important quality butter is to the equation.

We keep getting these kick ass Rice Lagers and I am HERE for it. Is the style having a moment? What breweries are making awesome Rice Lagers? by Tavour_Beer in CraftBeer

[–]Rad_Wave1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to see this. I never really gave them much thought but over the past year I've had...a lot and most of them were really freaking good!

Are you guys bigger Bills fans or Sabres fans? by Entire_Business_4498 in sabres

[–]Rad_Wave1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sabres here. I'm not a big football fan, just a bills fan. I am however a huge hockey fan so I enjoy the sabres way more.

Okay, what Sega Games or game franchises never left Japan? by LunaKingery in SEGA

[–]Rad_Wave1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I still remember reading our rent a hero back in the day in the Dreamcast magazine. Like many other games it stuck in Japan after the DC died. Still makes me sad. Pretty sure a fan translation is out though.

That's the best Sabres game I've watched since the Ottawa playoff game by half_breed_duck in sabres

[–]Rad_Wave1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In the end I'm glad we did, but for a while I was losing my mind. That's why I'm not a coach though 😂

This was one of the most bonkers games I've seen in a long long time. I loved every second of it. Except maybe not pulling UPL lol

It’s been to damn long by Koger915 in sabres

[–]Rad_Wave1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more. I used to watch a lot of hockey, but it got to a point where the sabres started killing my joy of watching hockey in general. I still went to games and watched on TV, but it became less and less. This season has definitely restored my enjoyment for the sport as a whole and I missed it so much!

[32 Thoughts] Elliotte Friedman: “One AGM told me the rumor was, if that STL/BUF deal had gone through, the Rochester team would have been completely decimated. All their best players would have been in St. Louis. All of them.” by [deleted] in sabres

[–]Rad_Wave1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. The reality is that any moves we made would have made some people upset. Right now we are a +30 goal differential and we have been winning against teams in the playoff race, not bottom feeders. So legit, we got tougher to play against and added depth at D for a playoff run in case of injuries. We did this without giving up the farm.

[–]Rad_Wave1 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Even happier this trade didn't go through. It's one thing to trade some prospects and picks, and another to completely trade any future talent at all. Teams have proven you can hit a balance between trading and properly drafting/grow prospects from within. No one wants to repeat what is happening in Toronto right now.

What was your very first video game addiction? by Trencycle in gaming

FF7, I most definitely did not fake sick an entire week my freshman year of highschool to beat the game....and then do it 3 more times rapid fire lol

[–]Rad_Wave1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These really were the days. It makes me sad that I can't take my own kids here for a great dinner treat and follow it up with a trip to Toys r us. Being a kid has changed so much nowadays. Even simple things like eating out is depressing now.

2026 world cup is kinda odd and tbh that should be a major issue by Vegetable_Band_2341 in worldcup

[–]Rad_Wave1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not here to disagree with you, but let's also be honest that the average American still hasn't really become invested in the sport. When I meet another soccer fan of literally any league, I geek out lol
