Contempt

Mostly my issue comes from folks who say things like "Keep politics out of sports" when they don't like the Super Bowl pre-game show but then shrug their shoulders at Sinclair. That's not necessarily you, but it's certainly plenty of people. These also tend to be the same people who call others "snowflake" but then lose their collective feces about singing Lift Every Voice. They are also the same people who rail about government regulation and overreach then use laws and courts to tell other people how to live their lives. But yeah...freedom.

They haven't skated the past two games, why start now?

Why are we mad at Kane? Because he wants to play in a big city and not Buffalo? Why is this surprising to anyone? Why do you want him to play in Buffalo anyway?

Those teams always seem to be able to find a patsy when they need one

They've been beating themselves like 14 year old boys with a lingerie catalog.

Bills announced a 12 percent increase today. Still think they will cut Sabres prices a nickel? Not likely. I said 5 percent increase and that might have been conservative.

Girls lost by 28. Boys lost by 20 it was not a night well spent

Yes, but not as much as it was in the recent past but that's a positive thing for the game

Well, so much for sleep. I'm riding a school bus back from a basketball tournament where our 715 game didn't START until 845. And if course it's an hour away from school and I live 20 more minutes past that so maybe I will catch some of this game after all.

I think there is probably a lot of empty space for his brain to wobble around in before it crashes into his skull

Price on Schenn is reported to be a 3rd plus another low pick or low level prospect. Per Pagnotta. That's way more reasonable than the stuff I was hearing before. I still don't want him because I don't think he could skate with this team when he was 25 let alone now that he's 33 but if he's going to be cheap cheap I could wrap my head around it.

I'll rely on the learned commentary of the handful of you that will watch this. I will be in bed.

I can't comment on Mittelstadt objectively. I'll let you guys debate that.

The only jam Mittelstadt has is on toast.

Enjoy that.

Schenn who has been waived a bajillion times already in his career has improved in his age 33 year to the point that you are now willing to give up something to get him?

I don't think Chychrun solves their problem and I'm not convinced that there aren't a couple pieces that still need to be moved out.

Casey's couch. Dahlin moved out and magically got way better.

If that is legal in Texas I really need to start crafting a list of people I want to fly to Texas with. I can think of 3 or 4 off the top of my head that deserve a good rap in the beak.

I did that with Facebook and Twitter several years ago now. Thought I'd miss it. Not even a little bit. The missus is doing a bit of a purge right now with unfollows and the like. She wishes she could nuke it completely but she needs it for work. That sticker is on my car and a flag of that hangs in my rec room.

I work with middle school kids every day who can't problem solve their way out of a wet paper bag.

Just means you have to ask permission.

That's dark for a Friday. I like it.
