Yup.  The original wearer of 20 was the best goalie to ever play the game, IMO.

Good old vladislav tretiak. I used to have his CCCP Jersey.

Kadri is a punk.  That is how anyone should stand up for their goalie, or any other teammate.

But fighting has no place in the NHL... ?

I hate the fact that a goalie can take the first shot and get away with it and I hate Adam McQuaid.

I still loved every second of that clip.

I'd say that bruised junk is many times worse than bruised ribs.  I have had both, but not from playing hockey.

I had a brief debate about that with an ex-Soviet cabby once.  Smartly, for me, I never brought it up in front of my ex-girlfriend's ex-Soviet family.

There's really no Sabres hockey until Thursday?  Grr.

Also, I am uninspired and I don't want to use the same poem again, so give me one to work with.

What do you usually use? Night before Christmas?

Edit: 12 days of Sabrespace

I like 12 days!  Great call.  Let's see what I can do with that.

How about Silent Night for the days between now and Thursday?

Too holy.  And none of us are really silent enough anyway.

Working on the 12 days thing.

I was going to say ... 'It's a Marshmallow World'

But that Wild Guy beat me to the keyboard ...

Laffs tying the game with 7 seconds left, after playing a fairly lousy game. 

Love the Detroit PBP announcers sidekick, who sounds like Alan Thicke, who could be heard mumbling “are you serious?”

That would be Red Wings legend and 2-time 50-goal scorer Mickey Redmond.  He's been doing color for the Red Wings almost as long as RJ has done PBP for the Sabres.  He's known for Mickeyisms, old-time sayings like when guys got caught violating curfew, "Aw coach, we were just going out for a few ginger ales!"  Or about a goal mouth scramble, "Ten hungry lumberjacks, one pork chop left on the plate, and who should come up with it but Brett Hull!"  Or here's one on video.  Yes, it mentions ginger ales as a euphemism for beers.  After being away from the NHL for years, Mickey helped bring me back.  He's a treasure behind the mic every bit as much as RJ is.

I don’t know who he is, but I thought his under-the-breath comments amusing. 

Also, whoever was trying to bash Lehner, good for him. Only allowed 1 goal in 4 of his last 5 games.  Good for him.
