Doohickie

That goal almost felt inevitable. Weird feeling, not used to it. I kinda like it.

Sabres are outshooting the Eulers 6-3 in the second at the moment.

Dang it.

A dominating shift by the (checks notes) fourth line.

Please please please

Yep. Move him to the top line and trade Tage. 😉

Good hard work draws a penalty. Another Sabres PP.

Ellis might not be the quickest goalie or stop every shot, but he's a smart goalie.

Too many passes.

The Sabres got back in a hurry when EDM turned the play after the penalty expired. Looked like an odd man situation, but not for long. Good hard work.

I saw Michael Kesselring drinkin' a piña colada at Trader Vic's And his hair was perfect

I just saw that. Interesting.

I just re-watched the winning goal. The Sabres had 1 forward (Thompson) and two defensemen (Muel and Dahlin) on the ice when they scored. Almost looks like a flubbed change.

We were at Bass Hall.

So just watched the highlights. Happy to see the Sabres pulled out a win. I was at a play with my wife (who is a Red Wings fan). I checked before the play started and the Wings were up 4-1 so I gave up on the game and enjoyed the play. At the end of the intermission, I got back from the restroom and my wife said, "DON'T GLOAT." I had no idea what she was talking about so I checked the score.... nice surprise. The play we saw was & Juliet. It reimagined would have happened if she hadn't killed herself at the end of the play. It was very "meta"; William Shakespeare was one of the characters. The play broke the fourth wall a lot and Shakespeare even became a character in his own play. Hard to follow at first but once it got going and I understood how surreal it was going to be, I enjoyed it a lot. The play was in Bass Hall in Fort Worth, a gorgeous theater.

I dunno... it takes a lot to get rid of existential dread. Almost as bad as exterminating cockroaches.

Dee-troy-it.

Note: 1 F-bomb makes the audio in this clip NSFW If you watch this, watch it four times: The forward facing cam The husband The wife The dog (Note, no cam car creatures were injured)

If you've ever owned a Volvo you know you have to keep up with the maintenance.

Pure speculation: I wonder if maybe she had a follow-up surgery or some other procedure and he felt he needed to be there for her. The procedure went well, she recovered and it's time to return. If it was known ahead of time and there was significant risk involved, it could have been why it was affecting his play earlier, and why he's all smiles now.

That's not the way it's portrayed in this article on NHL.com:

Yes of course. We saw what a difference it made in retaining Ullmark when they allowed him to take a leave when his father died.

And after all, business acumen equates to success in sports.
