Why does it feel like the Sabres have played 80% of their games on the road?

After the second day of the bar exam, my father drove me downtown so that I could party with some friends (one of whom drove me back). He stopped at the zoo, right near the giraffes. He asked, "I've been wondering, how do giraffes *****?" Since I was anxious to blow off some steam after seven weeks of doing nothing but studying, I got him to move on. But the question still bothers me to this day.

Consider that Montour is an everyday NHL player. Consider how often a third-round pick turns into an everyday NHL player. So it's a steal.

More Slava. Great.

Third round picks are nearly worthless. NEARLY.

It is.

That's not what I had heard on the radio; I'll trust you.

That would be Okposo, Skinner, and Hall.

And he's allowed only three goals in three starts out there.

They shot Okposo.

Then you can't have Hall.

So Claudius is next?

Yeah, there was a documentary about that. I think the Zucker brothers made it.

So someone reacting positively to Louis-Jacques's criticism would be different than someone reacting positively to the content itself, I guess.

Those of us who are awaiting the final season of The Crown would have appreciated a spoiler alert this morning.

Wait--the station posted the segment on social media, too?!

If, and I mean IF, I put 97 on, it's because I want to listen to some classic rock. Not because I want to listen to Rich freaking Gaenzler tell stupid jokes. I never have listened to an FM morning show, and I think it's unlikely that I ever will. These guys were obsolete anyway. And idiotic. So, well, bye.

Ok, 4000 seats, not 3000 seats. They're still not going for $50. Again, multiply by 6 or 8.

Who's starting in net? Me? You?

This is unnecessarily complicated.

Granato either had no strategy or poor strategy. It was a mess and it's on him. He was outcoached by Lindy Ruff (not a surprise) with an AHL team (there's the surprise). He should be embarrassed.

This is almost hilarious. 3000 seats, MLB, in Buffalo. I think you need to multiply by 6 or 8.

Well, for anyone that wanted a Granato permanency (not saying that anyone did): 1. The team just lost to a Devils team that traded away its only two decent players yesterday. 2. The team just lost to a goalie who is unfit to play that position in even the AHL. 3. Colin Miller got power play minutes. And screwed up as expected. 4. Jeff Skinner looks about as skilled as PA, who is just learning to skate. Also, he was not put in a position to succeed. 5. MOST GLARINGLY, what was Thompson doing on Reinhart's line? Mittlestadt-Thompson-Asplund did so well the other night. Why in the world mess with that? No Granato unless he takes them to the finals. (Which will not happen.)

Make it Colin Miller instead and I'm in.
