I think Kane's top speed is only about 15 mph.

If the Sabres won all three this week it would mean of the teams above us lost at least two and another lost at least one. 😉

They'll end up in Quebec after five years.

As well you should be.

Rousek has been Mostly Harmless on this callup.

At least you didn't read it as Moose Wife

Right. I just thought it was odd wording, particularly if that was the phrase used by Kevyn. "Look at this great success story. Yeah, we shipped him out."

Colorado.

Yep, "normal" coverage. No whacky national stuff.

Morose Wife At least I hope she will be. She's a Wings fan.

As long as they're not eliminated, we can use that to justify watching the games (instead of admitting our addictions).

Nope. I don't care. He's had his championships; I'm not going to feel sorry for him if he and his team fade away at the end of his career.

That's what collective bargaining gets you. The coaches aren't in a union.

Eh. I think he'll land on his feet. He voluntarily went to work out with the Canucks farm team but from what I understand he was under no exclusive obligation to sign with the Canucks. His agent could have sought other options, if indeed any other options were out there.

I'll be going to the April 9 Sabres game in Dallas. I'll be shocked if that game still matters. I believe the Sabres won their last game in Dallas on an Owen Power OT goal (that wasn't called back).

Why? They gave him an opportunity. He didn't show enough to earn a roster spot. He's 36; time to hang them up.

Congrats. I don't need that qualification my self, but several people on my team at work do. It's not at all easy; several fail the first time.

Detroit is irrelevant. The Sabres are 9 points behind Tampa, 7 behind NYI, 4 points behind Washington. Washington has 3 games in hand and are 7-2-1 in their last 10; NYI have 2 games in and and are also 7-2-1 in their last 10. The Sabres are 6-3-1. Even if they catch the Wings, there's no way they're going to catch two of those three. Mathematically still possible but it would require epic chokes by two of those three teams, not to mention continued losing by the Devils and Wings.

And even if we win all three, Washington is 4 points ahead of us with three games in hand. Hard to imagine catching both them and Tampa who is 9 points ahead of us.

Losing one pretty much knocks us out.

He and Skinner still lead the team in goals.
