Staph infections can be nasty. Jay McKee wanted to play in the finals vs. Carolina but if they hadn't gotten treatment for the infection he had, they told him he could have lost his leg.

Me? I'll be in the air returning to Fort Worth after spending the weekend with my mom in West Seneca. I haven't seen any regular season games yet but apparently that's a mercy.

School/bank holiday (Colmbus/Indigenous People's Day) so they're trying to get the kids out. They do this every season.

Well I won't be posting goal memes for the first three games as I will actually be in Buffalo (West Seneca) visiting my mom. I won't be able to take in a game in person since I arrive Thursday evening and leave Monday morning.

I'm not really doing goal memes yet but I like this one so....

The logo script very much suggests the spines on goathead seeds.

We'll start saying "The Jacob Bryson of..."

Yeah, I know. Maybe they know something we don't.
