The Radio.com app that WGR switched to is terrible. I don’t blame the on-air people for a management/ owner decision. Often the app will just keep playing commercials, and I have to close and reopen it a couple of times to correct it. You can tell it’s stuck when no matter when you start it, it’s at the start of a commercial, and when you don’t hear local Buffalo commercials. Also sometimes the podcasts don’t get posted, like the full Sabres postgame. You just get a couple of player interviews.

The Sabres recalled winger Tage Thompson from Rochester on Sunday morning, indicating they will likely be without Kyle Okposo against the Blackhawks.

They’re affiliated with Cincinnati in the ECHL, which is where Rochester calls players up from.

Eichel was shown on the bench giving him a pep talk during the game. It’s time to give him a game off and play Miller.

UPL got a shutout for Cincinnati tonight, he’s now 3-1. Both Rochester and Cincy are first in their divisions.

Rodriguez, Mitts took Sobotka’s spot.

Just DVR the game and watch it when you get home. Stay off the Internet until then.

UPL played in goal for Cincinnati tonight. They lost 4-1.

I’ve always thought the one half is a goalie mask, not a skull.

I can’t watch anymore. Without the top players it’s boring. Now I know how Pens fans felt last night.

Pegulas promoting one of their kids graphic arts skills?

I don’t get having Skinner take the face offs.

3-1 Sabres, shots 31-8.

Sabres haven’t had an agitator like Pekar since Kaleta.

It was working, cut out, and is working again. But they’re not displaying the scoreboard in the corner like last night.

Saw Herman’s Hermits at the NYS State Fair Monday. Free concert at Chevy Court. Peter Noone still has his voice at 71, and the band is tight.

Finished season 3 (the final season) of Jessica Jones on Netflix. No super villain this time, but a formidable non-powered opponent. And significant changes for many of the characters. The ending was a bit sad. Also watched the final episodes of Legion. It was interesting seeing their universe’s version of David’s father Charles Xavier. But way too much psychedelic visuals that often left me thinking WTF is happening. The ending was a bit anti-climatic.

It could be a step in the process of freeing up a winger to be traded as part of a deal for a center.

Why Hasek, not Robert for the French Connection?

Finished Love, Death, and Robots on Netflix. Like an animated version of Black Mirror, futuristic and sci-fi, but more explicit. NSFW or kids. Each episode is self contained with its own animation style, and 10-15 minutes long. Most are serious but a couple are funny. My favorite was when yougurt took over the world. Like a Rick & Morty episode. If you like Black Mirror you’ll like it.

Finished Black Summer on Netflix. If you like zombie genre you should watch. Fast paced and lots of action. Now catching up on the final season of Veep on HBO. Still good until the end.

Of the 46 NWHL games in 2018-19, 16 drew sold-out crowds – setting a new league record. The average attendance of the 46 games was 954. 2018-19 season average attendance: Minnesota: 1,200 Buffalo: 1,101 Riveters: 721 Boston: 706 Connecticut: 423 I don’t know how they expect to get more money with those crowd sizes.

NHL: Buffalo - Aud & KBC, Atlanta - Phillips, Dallas - Reunion, Tampa Bay - Fairgrounds (1st game ever) NBA: Buffalo - Aud, Dallas - Reunion, Milwaukee -MECCA Arena MLB: Montreal - Olympic, Houston - Astrodome, Philly - Veterans, Milwaukee - County Stadium NFL: Buffalo - Rich (1st game ever), Green Bay - Milwaukee County Stadium, Houston - Astrodome NCAA Basketball - Marquette - MECCA Arena College hockey - Clarkson College football - Syracuse - Carrier Dome, UB - Bailey Ave stadium

And the losing has now flowed down to Cincinnati ECHL who lost game 1 of 2nd round to Toledo 3-2. Cincy tied it with 2 minutes left in 3rd, and then gave up the gamewinner in the last minute.

Syracuse shut out by Cleveland 3-0. The top two teams in the division were swept.
