SABRES 0311

Phillips is a big big man.

Just saw the MGySgt getting awarded the Purple Heart at the game. Still looks good in his blues.

Allen hitting the easy button.

I’m not questioning the validity but you’ve been around longer. Can you explain how? If I had to guess it’s to clear a spot for whoever may be coming in?

Let me ask you. With the game on the line whose stick would you rather the puck be on?

1. Eichel has the ability to drag teammates with him. No way Sam and VO have the stats they do without him. 2. He also commands respect from opposition defense. We all see how they give him room most of the time so as not to get turned inside out. 3. He is deceptively strong. Watch him when he gets pinned against the boards or when dmen lean on him. 4. He is starting to lead off the ice. Best (only one I can think of) example was when Dahlin had to sit and Jack gave him the pep talk. 5. He is becoming more and more defensively aware. Backchecking and providing competent coverage are becoming a natural part of his game. Matthews will be remembered like Ovi, a one trick pony. Eichel, like Crosby in that he does more for the team than himself.

I freaked out and my wife looked at me weird

You can bounce a quarter off it.

He is. It’s hardship pay for playing with ERod.

Well we need to pad that stat anyway.

Jack extends his point streak. Tied with Mr. Glass aka Tim Connolly.

Skinner was outstretched trying to gain control. He swept away and it took a harmless path to Ullmark.

Ullmark, freeze it!

Yeah what’s the deal with Bogo wanting out?

You guys remember when we were wondering when Eichel would go to that next level? I think I know the answer.

Jack Datsyuk’d the defender then sniped it.

I’ll chalk that up to a lucky a$$ tip.

I really thought Asplund was going to bury that chance he had earlier in the period.

So I’ve sat back and watched the impeachment process trying to keep an open mind. Then I thought back to the scandals of the previous administration and continued to the one before it. There have been quite a few issues with accountability from the last three administrations. One thing I think we should look at is imposing stronger penalties on those elected/appointed to the three branches. 1. Double prison for felonies. 2. Any refusal to comply with a subpoena equals a criminal trial. 3. Inability to take the fifth. I’ll keep this post short but if anyone wants to hear my train of thought let me know.

He’s about as good at GM as he was a player. The Mat Ellis of all things hockey.

You were saying.

Look at the bright side. You are so good at your job the client feels like you are there for them. To the point of interrupting game night.

Coffee and Red Bull.
