I'm doing Rick while Rick does Rick. He sounds very good. I don't see a reason he shouldn't do a game a month next season.

prettygoodsie with the marker!

And then @Thorny whiffs on the only acceptable "like." SDS should bench you for the rest of the period.

The only acceptable answer is mine.

"Effort" can't possibly be the key to any NHL game.

Rollsie.

Gorgeous anthems.

A bit ago, with the snow tapering off but with still-cloudy skies, I heard the low whine of a plane. I went to my go-to site, flightradar24.com, and saw this: Turns out it was a NASA plane that left Delaware at about 4 this morning. Interesting time to take a training flight. I'll delve into it more, just curious if anyone had thoughts or educated guesses as to the mission. NOAA I could see, like how they send planes into hurricanes.

Would it be a "hockey guy"? Or gal, I don't care. Dumb question: would it be about an infusion of cash? Or could the Pegulas reach out to someone to "run" the team and reward them with a minority stake in ownership? The rumor for a long time has been that they were looking for someone to help run the team. How do you match up a rich person with that ability? It certainly didn't work with Terry. On that note, if I'm buying into the Sabres with an eye toward running them, I don't do it if Terry still gets final say on major decisions.

They got stuff in here about slaking and stuff like that.

A certain someone will be along to put the chairman of the fed to shame with their financial knowledge, but... didn't Terry "cash out" his oil and gas holdings? Didn't he get billions in real dollars? Where did it go? Does he have a gambling problem? His love of the Sabres is not clear to me. More and more that initial presser is looking like smoke and mirrors. People think I'm a hockey guy, but I'm really a football guy. There just happened to be a hockey team for sale first. No one who truly loves the Sabres would do what he did. A casual fan, one of the posters who show up here for the first time in three years when the Sabres are on a long winning streak — maybe. But you don't go in the operating room as a neurosurgeon is about to do brain surgery on the love of your life and tell him or here where to cut. I call almost total BS on the idea of "love."

WTF!!!

Yeah, but here comes LGR!

My Leonard Nimoy belt buckle just moved.

The world will little note nor long remember what was said here.

Who, pray tell, wished for 20% of the team to be sold to a private equity firm?

I somehow don't see selling a minority stake as a "major change to the organization." What would change? Major staff promotions sounds more like it.

Who are we looking at? John John?

I took care of my first Covid patient tonight. I've come a long way from March 2020 when I called off work and got my groceries from Instacart, then proceeded to wipe them down. The vaccines and Omicron are game changers. My old fella described his condition as a "cold." His biggest problem was straight diarrhea. Beyond the brown menace not an overly scary situation. Most maddening was trying to tie that freaking gown.

This boggles the mind.

Laughing at me: 1,987.

Correct on the fanbase. And it's a reasonable position for them/it to take. We don't know what Dahlin is when the games really matter. Like so many teams of the past when out of contention, he looks pretty good in the ether. In that respect, if the next 10 years are like the last 10 years, he will be a 31-year-old prospect. A forever prospect. It's also reasonable for fans not to care about Dahlin hype when it has meant exactly nothing where it counts.

The point of this exercise is to put Dahlin on top of the rubbish heap and validate LGR's opinion.
