It's live: https://bracketchallenge.nhl.com/leagues/22937 If the link doesn't work, the league name is SabreSpace 2022. The password is Hasek39.

It ended up being neither, although the plan was to watch hockey. I was stuck without wi-fi and couldn't get good enough cell service for the Sabres game. Looks like that's ok after all.

With incorrect syllable counts because who cares: Bruins Haiku You're a Bruin, So ***** you.

You missed the good part, then!

Too bad.

Thank you. That indeed is what I saw. So is he calling the game?

I thought I had read that RJ traveled with the team yesterday. I can't find it anywhere now, though.

So a beer at the arena costs as much as a discount jersey now...

You're an *****?

I can agree with this. Something about the way the team just suddenly appeared in the semifinals.

He already came off as the poor loser in that press conference, though. I feel like I got what I needed just by watching it. I won't mind if he succeeds as long as it doesn't come at the expense of the Sabres.

Oh the poor guy!

For me, it's about the draft pick. I don't really care about Eichel one way or another.

Dominik Hasek was 6'1". Ben Bishop is 6'7". I don't care that Levi is one inch shorter than Hasek just like I don't care that Bishop is six inches taller.

I guess I'll root for Minnesota? I don't like most of the other teams in the mix.

Well, if those ***** make the playoffs, it might be 24.

Thanks. I'm thinking it might be as simple as a better windscreen.

The team was horrible for four months (and started six different goaltenders) and depends, more than any other team in the league, on cross-border traffic. I'm not too worried.

This team is so much fun to watch again. Hey @SwampD, a sound engineering question for you: Can MSG do anything to tone down the whistling sound when Jeanneret pronounces the letter S? And if so, why aren't they?

This, for me, too. Also, my father was in sales and had access to the company tickets. When the Sabres played an unpopular opponent like Colorado or Cleveland or something, and the tickets weren't in demand, he would take us to games.

Now I have to wonder who the third one is going to be.

These last couple of months have been an absolute joy, that's for sure.

We need Letterman from The Electric Company to swoop in and change the first letter of your username to a T.

1. Not for long. 2. It's still a useless position.

I have said forever that the Sabres never should have fired Ruff. And I still think I'm right. It's nine years and counting since that supposed cure was to work. That was supposed to be the magic thing, right? Just get a new coach? Yeah, we've seen them go through five or six or whatever before finally, we have another good one. (I can't imagine what the new generation of Sabres fans will to do Donny G once he hits two pairs of conference championship series.) But this is his last season in NJ. I am certain of that. He will not be back, and unless he has elite boomer powers, he will be out of the league. Lindy won't be recycled like certain Canada coaches are. I hate watching it end this way. But I loved Power scoring his first goal against Ruff. A passing of the torch, maybe.
