Doohickie

No. I don't think they're even aware of him. Daughter-in-law is Chinese and apparently it's a name there.

Had a great afternoon at the baby shower for my grandson Bowen who will be born in May. Looks like I didn't miss much, Sabrewise.

Choice quote.

Will either of us live to see it?

This is the dumbest team to ever lace them up. Peace out.

If he hadn't been in the paint you'd be right.

...or not.

We don't deserve Zucker.

This team is just so fragile.

Illness He's sick of playing for the Sabres.

That's putting it kindly.

Eye problem. He just can't see playing for the Sabres.

Meh. Whatever.

Yes they do: The Bandits are arguably more competition to the Sabres in that they are a smaller commitment for season tickets and they're actually a dynastic franchise, both of which magnify their drawing power and provide an alternative to a franchise that just doesn't win.

Hockey Guy: "I don't think Kevyn Adams is back next year." (cued up to the start of Buffalo discussion)

Bands like The Temptations and the O'Jays did a lot of feel good music but they also did a lot of social commentary which unfortunately still applies today.

Bringing in Staal, Hall, Eakin, etc., I thought was the start of balancing out the team with veterans. At season's start, I thought that was the year. But Jack's injury and the utter failure of the vets brought in (on the whole) just messed everything up.

It's not that either. Arby's has been a huge disappointment every time I've gone in there. The roast beef I get at the deli counter of the grocery is 123% better.

Remember when we took a chance on Taylor Hall?

Their captain takes too many penalties.

I never liked that trade. I still don't.
