Since my office operates 24/7/365, we've come up with a few creative scheduling ideas. We work four tens, shifts rotate. Half of us work weekends one month, then it switches. As a result, I often have no idea what day it is or where I'm supposed to be. It does have advantages; I almost never need to take leave for appointments or whatever, since I generally have at least one free weekday every week. As a result I just took a month off because I had to use that much leave by 1/9 or loose it. Which was nice.

Wait, what?

Just finished the game on delay. I have some thoughts... 1. Watching Ullmark play makes me want to find XGMTM right now and set him on fire. A first for Lehner? You bastard. 2. EROD needs to be shot into the sun. He is legit the worst player in the NHL right now. My 6-year old is stronger on her skates. 3. KO is not dead yet. 4. Seriously you Dollar-Store Dwight Schrute, a first round pick for Lehner? Ugh. 5. Angry Risto is good Risto. 6. Scandella can stay. 7. Bobrovisky is legit the best goalie on earth. Torts owes dude his job. 8. Robin Lehner needs to go. God or whatever willing he does...

Except he may well have been stamped as garbage by now. I'm no GM or hockey insider, but still.

I've become addicted to the Ellen Degeneris game show "Game of Games." This woman is low-key a comic book villain and I am here for every second...

... and dance by the light of the moon.

That was around the time the Knox family ran out of money and Rigas wriggled in like the serpent he was. I get it. I distinctly remember watching the news (probably WIVB?) the night the trade happened and the headline was "CONN JOB!!!" Because Rob Conn. Nobody knew who or what Peca was, yet. Much younger me was devastated. Even the King himself, Wayne Presley, winning me a pizza with a goal in a nonsense loss to somebody terrible at the Aud a few days later didn't make me feel better... Wait, I'm remembering this wrong. Mogilny played that game (ish) when I won a pizza. Carry on...

Annual reminder that the all-star game is dumb and meant for children and/or liquored up executives of sponsor corporations.

One-thousand times this. Disco took the dirt he was given and made mud pies out of it. Housley's over here trying to make something out of the Great British Bake-Off. Doesn't taste good. Might improve with better ingredients. Also, I remember being much angrier with the Sabres organization the year they traded Mogilny. What was that, 95? That team was hot garbage, but it was also right before things got interesting.

I said hanging out with, not hanging out of. Get your mind out of the gutter.

So, um.... I met a girl. She has never watched a hockey game in her life, and expresses no interest in it. I spent last night hanging out with her, not watching hockey. I have never felt so alive...

Unless...

Serious question; is Antipin dead?

I will pay anyone five of your American dollars if you punch Alexi Lalas until he stops talking. Thanks in advance.

And, whole we’re at it.. how about an actual functional goalie.

Goddamn fat fingers... anyway. I think this team still resorts that the Disco “throw the puck that way” as much as the actual hockey Phil wants to play (they’ve managed it a few times). They can do it... the stench of Disco Dan needs to be eradicated.

This team will absolutely not lay the body on anybody. I have a hard time believing Housel

Scandella! Keep doing that.

FFS ROR

Inevitable.

Oops, tower wins. Book it.

Meh.

All schools surrounding the tiny city I live in closed today because brrrrrr. Salem VA schools, however, open and running on schedule. I no longer lament my higher than anywhere else near me property taxes.

The thing about Duclaire... we have any number of underachieving high draft picks here now...

Eh, that’s alright. I think I’ll actually be the only one watching the Sabres on Sunday...
