World Cup 2016

Canada is going to thrash USA on Tuesday.  

Playing Canada is like viagra for the U.S. team. They'll get up.

 

That and the Euro team just called into question their ability. They have something to prove.

[Claude Balls]

Nilsson won't play more than 10 games. Book it.

Who?

 

USA looked totally uninterested in their game. So was I. When does the real start?

[3putt]

Doesn't matter.  We do not have the horses or the driver.

[SwampD]

Bjork with a beaut.

[3putt]

That was a great save.  He looks awfully lonely out there tonight 

[BagBoy]

O'Reilly had more ice time than Crosby (speaking of...that top line is dominant) in the 1st. Nice. Neither here nor there, but I remain convinced Babcock would have had an epic mancrush on him if he chose to coach here.

 

Yes.  ROR probably won't get one of the 3 stars tonight, but he has been really solid.

[SwampD]

I wish I was half as cool as Joe Thornton's beard.

[JJFIVEOH]

Yes.  ROR probably won't get one of the 3 stars tonight, but he has been really solid.

 

ROR seems like the kind of guy going forward that deserves a top 3 star every single night, but will get overlooked on a nightly basis by the guys who get two points. 

[nfreeman]

I've always liked Marchand. I don't care what all y'alls think. I'd take him on the Sabres tomorrow.

 

Me too, although I'd like to see Ennis reassert himself in the "best short forward wearing #63 in the division" race this year.

[inkman]

I hope you're right. I'm very much looking forward to a full season of Lehner.

Ullmark & Kasdorf may prove worthy

[JJFIVEOH]

Ullmark & Kasdorf may prove worthy

 

They may. But I'd be happy looking for them to prove worthy being a backup. There isn't a bigger Lehner fan than I............. but I'm not convinced he is ready. If he is, GREAT!!!

[Eleven]

Ullmark & Kasdorf may prove worthy

 

Ullmark was a sieve last night.

[inkman]

Ullmark was a sieve last night.

I saw the lowlights. Ugh. The D wasn't providing a lot of help but it looked ugly regardless.

[SwampD]

In other news, today I learned what a Polish Porch is. Legitimately had never heard that before.

Not sure how I missed this yesterday. You've at least been in one and just didn't know what it was called, right?

 

 

It's a little sad how much more I am looking forward to watching two meaningless games of hockey than if the Bills were on today.

Man it's nice to watch some hockey.

 

Do you have a Mary on the Half Shell on your lawn?

[SwampD]

Do you have a Mary on the Half Shell on your lawn?

You mean a St. Mary of the Bathtub?

 

Sadly, no.

[Eleven]

You mean a St. Mary of the Bathtub?

 

Sadly, no.

 

 

OMG.  I just googled "Mary on the Half Shell" and turned up what must be the most Buffalo thing ever, anywhere:

Correct. My best friend growing up had one.

[Neo]

Swamp's porch, garages, Mary on the half shell ... how I miss Buffalo. I remember pink flamingos, before they were pop culture kitsch.

[Randall Flagg]

I feel like Nick Leddy should be on team USA too. Forgot about him.

[qwksndmonster]

I feel like Nick Leddy should be on team USA too. Forgot about him.

Yeah, wow. Our team is a lot more garbage than it should be.

 

How Torts can still find a gig coaching any hockey anywhere is beyond me.

[TrueBlueGED]

I'm unreasonably excited for the game tonight. 

[JJFIVEOH]

I've been plugging Markstrom for years, he'd be a great backup.

[WildCard]

Anyone else besides True and myself watching the game tonight?

[TrueBlueGED]

Gostisbehere continues his tournament struggles.
