Seems that way, this looks like one of those storms with moisture coming up from the south hitting cold air from the north. They seem to run along the Blue Ridge / Blue Mountain line of ridges (Roanoke / Harrisburg / Allentown / Poughkeepsie) and don't cross to the north or west. Last I checked, my house is forecast on the edge of the line where I should be buying 12 cases of beer or 15 bottles of liquor.

Jeebus, Risto, that was sweet, it may have even made ESPN talk about hockey if it had gone in.

Hey, Grigorenko sighting!

Kane from Eichel and O'Reilly.

Maybe it's a trademark of the Big Swedes.

Triangles? How about Shadowy Cabal?

ROR with a point, McGinn +1, I'll take it.

I fully agree. And kudos for nabbing the Eichel/Reinhart avatar.

I'd watch it if I had cable and was around in the past. I enjoy the skills more than the game though.

I want him just for Fiala la la la la SCOOOORRRRREEEESSSS! (or would Fa la la la la, Fiala! be better?)

I was (hopefully) pointing out that fans often bring their own baggage to player evaluation so saying something like, "the Avs fans aren't happy with Grigorenko" may not hold as much weight as people think. If you asked around here last year, Weber was terrible (and some still hold to that now), but realistically he's probably average for a 5-6 defender in the NHL and his play shows it this year. (and yeah, I typo'd Lehner; I'm usually pretty good with getting names right but I haven't had to type his name much :))

FWIW, if you listen to the fans there, Robin Lenart is the worst Swedish goaltender since Gustav Turdisson (Turdsie to his teammates). The Avs fans are going to have expectations for Grigorenko as part of the package coming back for O'Reilly; expectations he may never be able to live up to.

Tim Thomas. And... Miller?

I'm convinced, good work. I'd guess that the baseball ASG A: looks like regular baseball as team chesistry isn't as important to playing normal-looking baseball and B: that weird home-field advantage thing for the WS is riding on it.

At the Big G, there was a tasting room where various people (who had some training) would sit together and sample the output over the last day or two and compare against samples from further back to make sure everything was consistent. I assume it works the same in all food industries; although for that one I'm guessing there's a spit bucket and the tasting is done towards the end of a shift.

I expect he'll come out playing with his hair on fire to show Buffalo what they gave up.

I'm not sure too many people outside area code 716 (and 814, hat tip to you) expected the Sabres to be in the conversation.

I tend to agree. How about this: the Eagles has a profound effect on music listeners in the 70s and maybe 80s, where Bowie was never as popular for his classic rock period, but his moves into pop and electronic later in his career, as well as movies and fashion puts him more prevalent in the popular mind.

At the western Philly suburbs stores I frequent, Bison is usually available. Troyer Farms chips I haven't seen. I looked last night and they had Zweigle's but not Sahlen's (they also had Hoffman's, from Syracuse). You might get more Buffalo stuff in NC though; there's certainly a large and vocal enough population of Buffalo ex-pats.

My wife digs Weg's Vodka sauce, thanks! I like all the pasta sauces I've tried, although they're not as good as mine. :)

Well, before the weekend I would have doubted it, but now, still doubt it but at least it's in the range of possibility.

Using nouns as verbs is how you millennial.

Are we all friends here at The Sabrespace again?

I was thinking the same thing last night.
