Over the fireplace. Use the space correctly...

Hoppe's flameout on this board, which, if I recall correctly, was also heavily GoDD related, was spectacular. Weird, because I actually think Hope is one of the better eggs on the Sabres beat in general.

The first time I ever became aware of Chara's existence was in 1998. I was for boring reasons in Philly, and a buddy and I went to a Phantoms game. They played the Islanders AHL team (Kentucky Throughblades, as I recall), who had this enormous, gangly kid named Chara. He was three fights and out shortly into the third. I remember thinking "that kid is just three Hanson Brothers shoved into one jersey". Turns out I was wrong about that...

Welp. 3 went right to hell, took 2 with it, and it’s going to mean I have to give up 1 so I can get 2 back. No time to worry about 3 going forward any time soon...

If you're looking at an FHA loan, figure 5% down. In my personal experience, we burned through a further $20k in updates, furniture, odds and ends. Depends on what you don't have and need immediately. Also, do your best to coordinate closing with lease termination. Managed to close a month before the lease on our short term apartment ended, so the first mortgage payment was basically a month later, didn't burn the budget. Also, gave us the opportunity to have the house empty for a few weeks while we cleaned, painted, etc.

Just a modern day P.T. Barnum (with horrifying consequences he cares not one whit about)

During the child custody portion of his recent divorce either he or his attorney stated in open court that he is a performance artist and his behavior on his show does not reflect his actual beliefs or personality. I'd like to believe that, making him another carnival barker selling hymn sheets (and phony vitamins) to the choir. Dunno if I do though. Also: https://youtu.be/BEoCg4737LU

Watching SN interview Gary Bettman during the first intermission of the Rags-Canucks game. Dude looks horrible. Like can't function on a daily basis horrible. Goood.

Larionov didn't cough the puck up if you looked at him hard enough, though. I'm no Tim Murray, heavy game and all that, but ERod worries me in that department.

He'll be here until the end of the year, but Ochocinco might just see his time in net increase by a lot.

Another good point. This one had "Lehner chucking one in his own net" written all over it. Glad he wasn't in. From the sounds of things, Lehner might be done here sooner than the offseason.

Absolutely

Again, were it not for Tampa's goalie I can't spell, this game is a laugher for Buffalo. Weird feeling, that...

Highly enjoyable game.

Welp, that was an elbow to the head and should have been five.

Quite.

He is most definitely the difference tonight, well, him and the post/crossbar. Tampa should be losing... I still have concerns about his absolute lack of any physicality...

ERod, you magnificent bastard!

Argh, lift the puck, son.

Wow, 2:00 for "slashing" there...

Rayzor throwing some heavy shade there. "You mentioned this game was getting ugly in terms of nobody making passes? Should benefit the Sabres, they have lots of practice in this area." I LOLed.

They actually look like a hockey team out there tonight. What is happening?

Just cracked open a Sierra Nevada "No Middle Ground" coffee IPA. For science. Not as horrifying as it sounds. Not particularly good. Meh.

Decent period. One brain fart by one of the far too many plugs on this team and goal. Sigh.

Corey Conacher. I liked the visible “oh ” by Nolan as well.
