That's really it...apparently someone tried to kidnap Patrick Marleau's son. If you click through and read the 6-part tweet, Mrs. Marleau gives some details.

People always remember him with the Devils but he won a Cup with Chicago, too.

I see the 4, I think Korab, and that's the only joy I get.

That was a heck of a punch.

I am not seeing it. (Not that it won't develop.)

It's really obvious that Peterka, Tuch, and Thompson never have skated together before.

Great. I have a stalker besides PA now.

I swear you follow me around and look at what I'm doing before I do it, just to piss me off.

Dammit

He just said those were Lindy's keys to the game, too. I like Rob. We can do better for a commenter, though.

Damn UPL looks young.

O'Reilly is the best C the Sabres have acquired by trade in the last decade. Not too shabby, even if he's not with the team anymore. It's not hard to fathom a similar deal. Think about it--teams underpaid for him TWICE.

I think I said this in my UPL thread, but after being distracted by years of posts about how the team needs a strong "spine," I'm back to the old philosophy of building from the back. G (which the Sabres may already have), D (which needs a little more attention even with Power in the system), C, and then W. Cs take longer to develop than Ws, at least in my mind, and it might be better to pursue them via trade or free agency than through the draft.

It feels like I haven't seen a Sabres game in a month. It may, in fact, have been a month. I don't care if Ruff gets fired; I want a Sabres win--BIG--tonight.

I think the original poster is Canadian, coming to the US for the game.

Well that sux.

Bummer! Stupid question, but doesn't Canada have to let you back in if you're Canadian? Can you just get the test on your side of the river?

And Czech Republic to Finland. Seems obvious that this tournament isn't going to be right, one way or another. Three forfeits so far, at least two of which should have been clean wins in favor of the forfeiting team.

wnyrapidtesting.com has locations right at the bridges. I don't know what they charge.

We have a Rosen thread...

I was looking forward to watching this today!

I think I read somewhere yesterday that it is five skaters and a goaltender.

And then, when it nearly all came down, another generation of players REBUILT it starting in 2004 or 05, depending on how you look at it.

Hey! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Sorry, @ns or whatever ghost you are these days; I was way too busy for poetry.
