Very interesting stuff in this Candy Crush video -- there's no ads (yet) ... there's no in-game currency.. 

60-70% of users that have completed all the levels never paid a dime. Every 3 weeks they release new levels, so those users can continue on (similar to WoW). The interesting thing there is, 30-40% of those users DID buy something.

It seems to be that we, as human beings, can leave nothing unsolved and so we continue on and on guessing word after word.

1 year ago about Montreal (who now sit 1st in NE div). Replace with Buffalo & hey, you never know 2014: Montreal's problems run far deeper than who's behind the bench — or maybe "far higher" would be more appropriate, given the performance of the general manager.

“That’s the risk entrepreneurs take every single day.” All of us, he is implying, need to view ourselves as entrepreneurs, one step away from obsolescence if we don’t step forward. “The biggest mistake,” he says, “is to sit still.”

For all we know, Johnny Manziel could be quarterbacking the Bills in 2015 inside a state-of-the-art stadium overlooking the Erie Canal Harbor as Jim Kelly’s new ownership group clinks glasses of ginger ale with general manager Bill Polian, celebrating a home victory in the AFC Championship Game.

Apple has been known to poke fun at itself by showing a comical video before an event. Something tells me they won’t be showing this one though.

Wow. Just. Wow.

If not this year, the Sabres will have their own ‘G-Unit’ going before long – and the Northeast Division better look out.

But it's believed Buffalo also let both players know they would get $100 million apiece to dress for the Sabres. (Darcy Regier politely declined to comment.)

@kevsylvester: Forming the most potent line in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with Daniel Brière and Scott Hartnell, Leino recorded seven goals and fourteen assists for 21 points in 19 games. This tied the rookie record for most points in the Stanley Cup Playoffs held by Dino Ciccarelli.[9]

I'm quite sure Ville centered that line, which is likely why Sabres thought he'd center in Buffalo. Regardless, we keep talking Ville on 4th line, but should he actually be top line with a speedy scorer (Ennis) and a bruiser (Foligno). I don't want to ruin the Ennis / Foligno / Stafford magic that is going on, but I do wonder if he would fit well with Ennis and Foligno. 

Or maybe Ville / Hodgson, and another guy that'll beef it out in front of the net like Foligno does... we lack that guy though. Gerbe maybe, but I want a feisty Gerbe with a few more inches and pounds on him.
