Minor point of order, but if he has an agent he's already gone pro. Or else Minnesota is in trouble...

Hey, they won a period...

I just got a Christmas card from the parents of my soon-to-be ex-brother in-law's wife's parents. (I know, there should be a diagram). It was a really nice note, basically saying they hope things are going well all things considered. Anyway, no idea why they'd take the time, other than they are perhaps the nicest people on the planet. I spend all day dealing with, for the most part, the worst humanity has to offer. It's somewhat troubling, and yet awesome, that a single act of kindness can knock me over this hard. Perhaps everything should not be set on fire yet...

Then why are we discussing it?

Watching Vegas-Nashville. The Nashville broadcast had a dude (formerly?)from the front office explaining how expansion drafts work and what not. Was slurring his words twice as hard as would be required to have him hauled out of a car. And they put him on tv anyway. The Vegas flu is real, folks. This can and will not continue.

We are, for the most part, Sabres fans who watched Hasek drag dogshit teams into relevance by stopping literally everything. Then there was Miller. Dude had much better teams in front of him (Especially at D) and gave up all sorts of softies, many of which were erased by the team in front of him. Lehner finds himself exactly in between these two dynamics. He’ll generally stand on his head if called upon, it late in games and, as we all have witnessed and can not possibly argue, in shootouts, he shrinks noticeably. Everybody would rather have a Hasek. I’d also rather have a Miller. Lehner just doesn’t have what it takes to cut it at the level we wish we could attain.

I left Buffalo at 8:00 this morning. Looks like a good thing I didn’t sleep in... Minus point: it was so damn cold my windshield fluid froze. Had to stop frequently to clean the windshield so I could see..

As mentioned by me earlier and others... Babies need to eat. Boobs feed babies. If you have a problem with this you can’t be pro-life...

With the best will possible: DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT.

Great minds and all that.

This exactly. Doc Emerick just made the holiday by making my entire family laugh uproariously at: “The Mets do not favor organ play...”

That right there is why ERod doesn’t, and shouldn’t, play more.

Good on the Rags, I suppose, for being the only team treating this like it counts in the standings. If nothing changes they might score ten.

Welp.

Babies need to eat. Boobs feed babies. Whimsical note: I live not far from a college campus. This past summer, I saw signs up one of the driveways leading to it advertising free bounce houses and a petting zoo. I thought: “My daughter would enjoy this” and took her up there on a fine Saturday afternoon. We did the petting zoo, went to the bounce house, then started to tour the vendors... at this point I started to register the wierd looks that I, man by myself with a child, was receiving at this thing. The vendors were all maternity gear, clothes for the recently having whelped and so on. Evidently it was a festival meant to celebrate breastfeeding. There was a large lawn area where this was going on. Moms were encouraged to raise placards upon latching. This was being kept track of onstage. Being one of the two guys there, and having no female escort beyond my 6 year old, we went to the cupcake truck and I bought my way out of there...

Monster game from him tonight.

RISTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooohhh, Samson almost did a thing.

That was.... unexpected....

Lehrer is useless. Or whatever his name is.

He did, he always does. But let's talk about whatever Risto thought he was doing there.

Goddamnit Risto.

Toronto thinks it's a goal. They have the off-ice official blow the horn, pull the refs over.

Oh well. Shootout loss incoming.
