Doohickie

Yeah, missed the first period. I was picking up my Monday pizza and they had Rangers-Tigers on in the bar. Just watched the goal. Cozens has okay hockey IQ, but man is he ever gonna benefit from the hockey genius of Quinn and Benson if they keep that line together.

I've now lost 16 pounds. Yay! That yardio this weekend really worked.

Thank you for using paragraphs. What your analysis tells me is that Matt Ellis needs to be shot into the sun. Or at least replaced as special teams coach.

Sweet mercy from the NHL scheduler. I hope they play better for you than they did for me in Dallas.

Hell, even Bryson's been pretty solid the second half of the year.

I didn't like the Mitts trade. I thought I was wrong after Byram's first few games with the team, but now I'm pretty sure trading Mitts was a mistake.

My friend has two wives. He tells me all the time, "That's mighty bigamy!" They'd still be the villains; Meruelo wants to buy the land to bring hockey back to the desert.

Exercise-wise I don't do as much as I should. I have a weekly bicycle ride (but it's a breakfast ride so I guess that cancels it out); I need to do other rides. I'm also doing quite a bit of "yardio", doing a thorough cleanup of the yard for spring.We've had some tough winters in Texas, temperature-wise, and a lot of plants have a lot of dead branches to trim out, and I've got a few that are totally dead so I'm pulling those out.

Turns out you're right. At first I was losing almost a pound a day. I cut out nearly all snacks (I'm a big snacker), and I try to skip a meal a day (replaced with a light snack like a cheese stick). Also, try to cut down on the alcohol. So I lost the 11 pounds right away. It's slowed down now; I've lost 14 pounds. Still going the right direction though.

Playing some music down under, eh?

17 bags of mulch and mowed the back lawn. Whew! The mulch came after several hours of weeding and pruning the roses and salvia.

I put down 8 bags of mulch before the game. I got 9 more to do. I guess I better get back to it.

Good! At least we got a loser point!

Nope. He nailed 'im.

What the hell, Tucky?

***** me.

As a Sabres fan, no. If I were a Panthers fan it would be a hearty hell yeah.

What does Power do well? Whatever the hell that was at center ice was outstanding.

That was a Professional Grade Penalty Kill™

That was a lame-ass penalty call. Go to go check someone and he ducks down.

Actually I thought the angle looked like it would have gone right through the crease and out the other side.

Yep. Resulted in an icing; lucky it didn't turn out worse. What a dork. Skinner shot it right into Bob's skate.
