Wait, what just happened here? This isn't how the internet works. I'm on the side of giving Armia the time off, unless he really wants to play. Could they bring him over just for the work-outs and practices, or does that count as a roster spot?

That's kinda how Buffalo sports work.

That's how many games the sabres need to win to get into the playoffs, right?

Huh, I worked at Cannon Design quite a number of moons ago. Interesting to see a design of theirs without windows, the architects there *loved* large walls of windows in their designs. EDIT: Oh hey, some time in the last few days I went over 2000 posts...

I'm not sure I follow that one, we'd be down-grading our goaltending and only netting a pick or prospect back? I think you're undervaluing Miller a bit here.

I'm not sure about the lose part, I was at the game last year where the Sabres lost 7-2 to Philly. Had to make sure I had a beer at all times.

How come the winning game thread is only 9 pages and most of the losing games are 13+? I only saw the first and a bit of the second. Had to shuffle cars around to shops for maintenance. Listened to most of it on the road though.

Just win, baby. Or lose, whichever. Maybe I'll watch if I get the TV working (moving stuff about the house tonight, again).

Better that than the fan.

Is that odd chili-macaroni thing from Cleveland or am I thinking of Cincinnati? I'm a sucker for finding the local "Speciality" and trying that. EDIT: oops, Cincinnati. Never mind, although I'm sure you could find some in Cleveland if you looked.

Thanks Peppy! Shame I can only look at the wallpaper for 6 minutes per game. :)

You're just starting? :) I haven't watched a full game since the Sunday afternoon Pens game. But that has more to do with having my wife move in and a house full of stuff to move around. If I were still living alone, I'd probably have watched the full games more often.

That would have been fantastic.

Guys, he's had 16 hours to get it done, his time is up.

Screw Miracle Day, it's Pegula Day!

You could have just said to call up whomever made the uniforms in 1995.

Prediction: 4-1. Not going to name which score goes with which team.

Cell phones were fairly rare, smartphones all but didn't exist.

It's sad that there are people here that also seem to find it funny to call people girl-names as an insult. Besides, Lindsay makes way more sense since it rhymes better.

Yep, I really should have seen the Ruff firing coming, otherwise it would have been just another game that can wait for later. :)

A few weeks ago. I did bring her flowers earlier this week and we cooked a nice meal last Thursday, but I'm on the hook for a proper date still. :) The plan for today was dinner at a great Vegan place downtown, but she's not feeling like it so it either a Indian/Thai place or a great beer and modern American restaurant closer to home.

AM radio is neat, in that it'll bounce around in the upper atmosphere if the conditions are right. I often get scratchy WGR all the way down to Harrisburg PA. Some guys here (in SE PA) were just talking about how they used to listen to WKBW Rock and roll shows all the time. My uncle said WKBW would sometimes come in in Texas. A few weeks ago, I was listening to the NFL playoffs and found a particularly clear station with the game on as I drove. I was in Lancaster PA as the game ended, and on comes Mike Robitaille talking about cheese. WTF, I think, before I realize I had been listening the WBEN 930 the whole time.

I prefer to call it "My Day". :) Missing the first Sabres game that will be truly interesting. :(

I hope someone starts up a "Thank you Lindy" chant Saturday. I really do.

Scheduling "Valentine's Day" 1 week after the real V-day (today) so restaurants would be less busy and flowers would be cheaper seemed like a great idea a few weeks ago when my wife suggested it.
