1. isn't really breaking news. Brian loves the sound of his own voice. I've seen it too many times to count: Marty starts talking, Duffer looks dead into the camera and smiles (creepily) before turning back to Marty with his mouth already agape waiting for a chance to cut him off. His role should be more like Brian Blessing to Roby. Duff and Biron are not a good match. Marty's just way too nice to let on that anything bothers him. The jabs at Marty's English (which is excellent) or pointing out the smallest of factual errors would be enough for me.

The NHL apparently doesn't think the Sabres are on a losing streak.

What happened?

Goal, draw a boarding penalty, fight?

It has to be.

Next on Eyewitness Sports... cornering the market on cowering cowards.

Yes. They have all they need to know about Eichel, Reinhart, Risto, Skinner and the like, and their UFAs. They probably don't know about Dahlin yet.

It's what greeted me today. I threw up a little in my mouth, got up, saw a shitstain on my office chair, stoved my toe, tried shaking it off and kicked my 18-year-old cat accidentally, and my cat mustered up the last of its energy to attack my bare legs (it's 53, so I'm wearing shorts, this being the first day of spring), and I can only imagine I'll get cat scratch fever, and when I tried to call Woody, I got a message saying the number was blocked.

Any mock drafts yet so we know what the Sabres will be getting?

What's the opposite of fear and loathing?

What date?

You don't say.

Why do we always find out after the fact that the Sabres are upset?

We used to call the five and dime and ask for My Kouser. Good times. Until Mr. Benson told father.

You're thinking of WOF.

I didn't see the explanation for the shoe rack. My apologies. Get well soon, chz!

I'll never understand something. If this had been a must-win game, the coach would have pulled the goalie when they held the puck in the Boston zone with a little over two minutes to go (and very likely well before that). You can score three goals in two minutes. The new coach threw in the towel. So this wasn't a must-win game? Why not? Hashtag losing culture.

Has anyone ever wheeled after someone shouts, "WHEEL!"?

I feel bad for dark.

Rick rarely editorializes, but he's starting to slip some digs in. I can't blame him. This hockey has to be a personal affront to him.

Bryson looks bad there, but it doesn't happen if Risto can handle a clever pass from him.

Hank's remembered as a laughingstock, but he's credited with being the co-inventor of the 3-4 defense (or at least the inventor of a variation of it). Sounds like he was in over his head as a head coach. He just died at the end of 2019 at age 85.

Yeah, but we're still talkin' about 'im!

Well that's gonna take some sail out of their winds.
