My stepdad was in the hospital for 10 days and just came home before the storm hit. I'm glad the storm didn't hit when he got sick. From what I've heard everyone back home is hanging in there. Did you see any cold temps from the storm @GASabresIUFAN? We got down to 11 Thursday night and managed to keep our pipes from freezing. We should be back up above freezing tomorrow and it will warm up pretty nicely in the 60s in the next few days.

The Dolphins are irrelevant now. The Bills won the division today. But I appreciate the thought.

Yeah, that's what we were saying at the Bills Backers Bar.

Their first drive is often times their worst. They make adjustments once they see what the other team is doing.

They either work to provide a perfect picture or they suck. There's very little in between. I have a smart TV in my man cave and watch the games streaming Spectrum to it over WiFi. The Spectrum app has been problematic and so I switch over to an antenna for local programming. All the locals come in pretty well except Channel 8 (ABC). I think it's the farthest station from me. I usually works but sometimes it pixelates on me.

He's good. He's got Rudolph. So this. THIS. Is the only thing that can distract you from the Sabres' goaltendeer and defensman deficiencies? 😉

The back to the Avs game: Their power play and the way they played with the goalie pulled was to crank low percentage shots toward the net and hope for a tip-in or a rebound. That's generally not the way the Sabres play in those situation. Colorado's scheme probably generates more shots but not necessarily more goals. But KO and Power don't have a large percentage of the shots either.

I'm posting from my Christmas present. My son told my wife what to order and he put it together: My new computer. The old one was about 8 years old. Overdue. The worst aspect was video playback. Youtube, streaming, Twitter, it was all getting pretty choppy. But now I have to set everything up on the new 'puter.

Oh I remember the drifts. Crazy.

I agree with you there.

On the one hand, On the other (from the same Wiki article), ...which is what I remember. I have to wonder if the "100 in" was drifted snow.

I think that's the point of the thread: The stat doesn't reflect reality very well; you have to take other factors into consideration.

No it doesn't. You're not understanding xgf correctly. Okay then, Mr. Smartypants, what does it suggest, if not that Tage should be a negative player?

That's for the coaches to worry about. I just want to see wins.

Sounds like the Blizzard of '77 with MOAR SNO

Ugh, so everything is wet and *then* it's getting frozen? That's nasty. Good luck, Buffalo peeps. Here in Texas it's just the cold... and the fact that our infrastructure isn't built for it. Frozen pipes are the biggest concern. I go through last night okay, the coldest night of the front. This, however, is just frightening, and it's only just starting. Stay safe, Buffalo peeps!

We got down to 11 overnight in Fort worth. I'm glad we didn't get any snow. There was a hard frost though and while streets are okay, our rear deck is a bit slippery. I expect that even without temps going above freezing the sun will take care of that.

"The holidays" includes New Years Day.

My preferred stat is goals scored. All the rest is statistical *****.

He was wearing Tuch's jersey on the fourth line.

I'm sure the second Tuch is Krebs. They have a week off; better to just to give Owen a few days off with no stress. I expect he'll be back practicing before the next game.

I think he has. I'm guess Granadams still has Bryson on the third pair when healthy. The fact that they put him on PP2 may indicate otherwise though... we'll see.

I'm in between on him. Disclaimer: I have a Reino jersey from those heady days when we thought Eichel was the answer. My recollection is that he was one of the players that immediately looked better once Krueger was gone, and if I recall he was playing center at that point and looked fine doing it. He led the Sabres in scoring his last year here. He didn't publicly complain; always a good soldier. I think Kevyn targeted Reino to move because he was too close to Eichel, and because he liked the return. Would he have been good on this Sabres team? I think so; but I'm not sure he brought the kind of energy Kevyn wanted.

Sez you.

EXACTLY. But it gave Ralph brain cramps.
