Doohickie

He's older now and takes too many dumb penalties.

They could make some room if they traded McDavid... 💀

New tech. Just like more sticks break than ever before. It's not just hockey. I have bicycles with 30-year-old cogs and chains. Newer bikes a chain doesn't last a season of riding; to make a 10+ rear gear cluster work you need very thin chain links and there's not enough bearing surface on them so the bearings deform the links producing chain stretch. But it's a compromise you make to get 3-4 extra gears in the back and save some weight. Especially in the highest echelon of sports, equipment durability gives way to performance.

If you're gonna go, go big!

Entertainment sells. Meier helped keep the ice tilted toward the NYR goal. He definitely contributed. Maybe all the way through. That was probably his "day job" while he looked for better roles.

Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto - you're beautiful! If he thinks he can get more somewhere else, we have a bunch of guys in Rochester ready to replace him.

I think they complement flavors very well and when they are being cooked smell delicious.

Yeah, I'm on the Devils bandwagon. For now. I'll jump off at the first hint of crappiness.

There's something satisfying about living in A-Taco-Truck-On-Every-Corner-Land.

Ever since Don Cherry turned out to be a creep, hockey has needed someone who's a bit unconventional and unhinged.

This is awesome. Patrick Warburton is apparently a Devils fan, he was born in Patterson, NJ. I remember the first time I saw him, waaaaaaay before Seinfeld, when he was an actor in ethics videos produced for the company I work for.

I have a new favorite candy.

The passive verb would be Umbergered; you are correct: Meier got Umbergered. But the active verb would be Trouba Campbelled him.

And that's that. Devils will advance.

Tatar is turning 33 this year and scored 29 goals 8 seasons ago, are you thinking of the right guy? Eh, prolly not.

Trouba just Campbelled Meier. That should be a penalty- shoulder to head. That's precisely why they have the rule against targeting the head; the fact that he was looking down does not excuse the target. But what do I know?

Palat's play on that first NJ goal... if you told me that was Casey Mittelstadt or Dylan Cozens I would believe you. Excellent checking and board work followed by an elite pass.

Really? I think he's fine.

The bicycle groups around here frequently do taco rides. There is a huge variety of tacos, and the best are nothing like what you get at Taco Bell and any Tex-Mex restaurant.

But for some defensive depth and better goaltending, the Sabres could be where the Devils are. I think they will be soon.

The Devils are very rebound hungry and it's paying off. Take note, Donny Meatballs.

Tatar reminds me of Mitts- a bit slow to develop, but has become a solid player.

I feel NJ is the vanguard of "The New Order" of the NHL, and I'm rooting for them this year. As Ottawa, Detroit and yes, Buffalo, join The New Order I'll obviously be pulling for the Sabres. Boston, Tampa, Washington, NYR, their time has come and gone. They'll be replaced by The New Order, and will be battling Carolina, Toronto and Florida for dominance of the East. "Great things are afoot!" -Slartibartfast Tatar makes it 2-0!

NJD opens the scoring with a shortie!

NJ with the smothering.... offense?
