I want to get a black goat head hat, but they don’t sell any on the NHL shop. I’m kind of shocked that they don’t have any. That pretty much kills all options for us out of owners who never come back.

My daughter is at 7 months now. She had been sleeping well but then that pesky first tooth started to make its presence known. But hey, at least there won’t be a bunch more of those coming in anytime soon.

Does that really count? It’s just his name. You have to love when the nickname is longer than the actual name. I guess the same goes for Quinn.

Can we just change the username to OrrForever and be done with it?

How many players actually get claimed at the start of the year league wide these days anyway? It has to be single digits. I wouldn’t be surprised if you could count them on one hand.

Can that person find the AHL CBA while they’re at it?

And not having a single starter up the middle of your defense for most of the game going up against Henry. Good luck with that.

It’s not a last night thing though. He’s an every week thing at this point.

On another note: is Bass gone?

A great example of how much I hate autocorrect.

Is financial woo him courting money issues or is it just a Ric Flair thing?

Yeah my bad. Always have Rochester on the brain when it comes to getting sent down.

I wonder if he’d even accept going to Rochester or if he’d rather go home to Sweden.

He still only has an AHL contract, right?

If they’re going to throw a mostly full NHL roster out there, I wish they’d leave one slot open and go with 11 forwards as a tribute.

We are doing some family pictures with the kids later today and it got me thinking about how much easier school pictures must be today. It was an annual rite of passage, getting those pictures back a few weeks later and my mom being mad because I didn’t smile right.

Including the guy who scored over 100 goals over the last two season was a bold choice though.

Let me guess, you have already paid in full.

I love how both teams work together so much. Now it's time for them to both be good together.

Ha, that was my take away. The traded picks are a completely different animal than trading away a prospect you've invested time and resources in. Quite honestly, the specific type of player I'm looking for is the GM trading away one of his own draft picks. I'd say Adams has been around long enough now to look at that. After Savoie, I think Bloom is the only Adams pick that has been traded and I wouldn't call him a high end prospect.

I really hope we get to that point where pieces are moved for big time help today. They have so much ammo. But until I see more, I feel like the Savoie deal is the exception and not the rule. Have they moved any other higher end prospects since Tim Murray was spending them haphazardly? Nylander I guess.

You know, I think it was Cornell where I saw it. I know a few others did it too. “Here is a list of exactly how you are required to act during this game.” It turns everyone into robots. Now that’s not to say that the Bills experience is a bunch of robots. I haven’t been there in ages but massive quantities of alcohol don’t typically work well with robots. Well, except this guy:

This reminds me of how some hockey schools would hand out sheets with all their chants. It’s like they had the whole game scripted out ahead of time. I wanted spontaneous nonsense, like chanting “safety school” towards Harvard or “overrated” directed at the worst team in the country.
