Anyone still holding out hope for the playoffs this year?

6 game streak gets the Sabres to 94 point-pace. That's already daunting -
6 is a good call. 6 in a row gets them back to a 94-point pace. I think I'm going to have to add "how many wins straight to get to 94 point pace" to the lost point countdown when I update it.

For whatever reason, I'm really into Japanese tea lately, in addition to my daily cold matcha habit. I did have some fruity herbal tea last night, Pure Blend (a local company) Namastea; I do love a good pun. Today's is the giant box of green tea you get from from Costco, which is made by Ito En. I'm running out of loose tea at home, so I need to make a trips to Wegs.

Sencha-matcha tea. Hey, it's another workday. Oh, I had some disappointing baked ziti leftovers for lunch. I'm not sure if it's just that all the baked ziti I've have includes sausage, or my local pizza joint is skimping, but rigatoni, bland sauces, and cheese just isn't that good.

MUST. SOMETHING. :worthy:

That's <smug-mode> "THE Ohio State". </smug-mode>

Just in time for the outdoor game against the Sea of Tranquility Rage (one of the Original 6 Moon teams).

Long term vs. short term success, I guess. If the coach/GM feels that the way to win in the NHL is to play one way and that means several fewer wins this season but as guys learn or are replaced the team will be truly good, I can live with it. Particularly with young players. Let's say Risto hasn't hit a wall, but looks bad this year because he's trying to unlearn everything that's happened in the last 3-4 years. I'd rather HHDCRGDDB played a system that stresses possession and not the one that'd win 5 extra games last season.

Genmaicha tea. Hey, it's a workday.

I agree. Plus, if the names of WNY NHL players that peters out at about 15 means there aren't that many, really.

The math is looking harder and harder to overcome. Unless they go on a tear and win a bunch of games in a row just to get back to bubble pace, they're toast. -
I wonder how much money we're talking about here, really. To pull at the heart-strings, if we took the money the military is paying sports to do on-field/court/ice advertising, how many homeless vets could we house? It looks like it was $7M over 3 years, so if we say $20k per person (equivalent to a $10/hr job), that's 113 people that could be helped. A drop in the bucket, other than to those people, I guess.

Still smarting over 1812.

Indeed.

We probably have overrated Risto. He may be mentally behind, however, from having at least three coaches[0] with wildly different systems in the five years he's been in the league. Maybe some stability (?) will help him, maybe he's always just going to be half a step slow. [0] Housley, HHDCRGDDB, Nolan, maybe Rolston (I don't remember how his 34 games in 2013-14 were spread out).

Globetrotters vs. Generals there for a little.
-
That wasn't AHL-level.
-
The Sabres are playing OK.
-
I have several in a safe in the floor under my couch. err, I mean I didn't know that either!
-
Hey now, just because the Bills have looked terrible for 3/4 of the game, don't give up! I'm sure they'll pull this one out!
-
OK, I'm convinced. I've never seen that called though.

Look at her (I presume) shoes when you're talking to her; it's outgoing! :)

He wasn't touched. I'm not going to crucify the guy, but either stay down or play to whistle.

The place across the street has some pretty good beer. I can't remember its actual name, but it's something like Gryffindor Pub.
