Only traditional Mandarin in Taiwan. It’s the ‘true China’ after all, no bastardized language allowed. She’s definitely Han Chinese ethnicity...albeit somewhat begrudgingly admitted. But I’m gonna ask her tonight if she might be Dutch or Spanish. That’ll be fun.

My wife is insistent on identifying herself as 100% pure Taiwanese. Sometimes I tip-toe around the fact that In her family history somewhere they came from China. She always replies that all branches she’s aware of are at least 5 generations on the island so she is in no way Chinese. Because, you know, screw China.

This trade is really going to help the Amerks going forward. Sabres? Not so much.

Cold eyed rational assessment. Thank you. If we get a 1st rounder or top prospect for Kane I'll be happy.

I would think it will be similar...far below what JBot allegedly was asking for in any event.

Some nice Rush by the organist there. I'm just looking for the positives.

Could Risto be drunk out there?

Make-up call for something there.

Risto not having a good one so far

Tragically Hip reference slipped in there by Dunleavy. I like it.

Good strategy. BTW for extra credit you could have added "It's not like I'm trying to be the Center of attention here". It's going the extra mile that makes them beg you to stop. Then you'll know you're at PeakDad.

Kudos to you for doubling down! Come on guys. I've made three teenage daughters groan countless times over the years. Work with me here.

I see what you did there. DadJoke approved!

Poul-i-In!

I guess running the goalie isn't a penalty anymore

Stick to the face isn't a penalty anymore apparently

Trade him now!

Fixed it for you

You're right! I don't recall 1970 myself as I was born in January that year and had other things on mind I guess. :-)

College basketball time. Bona, Niagara, Canisius, and UB having maybe their best combined season forever.

I wasn’t inferring they do. However Patrick Kane would be welcome.

Lee Stempniak. Never understood how a Buffalo guy who has played for 73% of the teams in the NHL hasn't ended up with the Sabres yet. (Note: I don't actually know what Lee Stempniak is up to.)

I was in Tokyo for the March 2011 earthquake. Then we went to the Tsunami devastated region (City of Ishinomaki, to be specific) for relief work in Oct '11 and March '12. After spending time up there I got a better sense of what it must have been like post-WW II Dresden or Tokyo where the neighborhoods were just wiped out entirely except for a random structure here or there. I'll never forget it.

Yes, then the chips fall as they may. I like that plan. Simplifies my fandom, too.

Lehner sucks (Just getting that out there preemptively)
