It's 5K to Belgium. At least it feels that way when I try to run 5K.

Those waffles are worth running to though:)

And the beer, man I miss my beers.  I'm a social drinker so need bars to open again 😄

Yes, PTR, we are watching the game.  Did you notice that it sux as a hockey game and so we're discussing the failings of Dan Dunleavy instead?  Or are you too busy raking leaves in the eternal autumn that is New Hampshire?

Did the NHL tweak the timing of commercials? There was no commercial after the first break in action after the clock ticked under 6 minutes to go. The third TV break came a little later.

Before you get too supehero, there is an ongoing argument with a separate thread about this, and there are merits on both sides.  I tend to think that they do matter, but there are strong arguments against.  

 

 

I perused that thread. I can understand the "faceoffs don't matter" opinion. I am of the mindset that having possession of the puck is better than not. I suppose you could put more weight into winning "high importance" faceoffs.

I've changed with age. Gone are the days at the sports pub, arrived are the backyard days. Now, once the 96" TV goes in, the backyard will feel like a sports pub.... 🙂

First whistle after 12, 8, and 4 as far as I know.

And intermissions are 90 minutes long now.

Sort of...  very much perimeter although we're outskating them to pucks thus far. Need to keep the pressure on.

I don't know what game you're watching. I'm seeing the Sabres outshoot the Rangers 16-6 with several dangerous scoring chances.

Not until @PASabreFan and I get there, start drinking shots, and start fighting.

Also, do you have bologna sandwiches on white bread?  PA likes those.

The scoring chances were not dangerous.

There may be a vole under the leaves.

Best rake now.

Eakin is getting the Skinner treatment, I like it

First two were after 14 and 10 as per usual. Maybe somebody screwed up after 6.

Only if the baloney is fried into charcoal.

Wonder bread and bologna can be arranged;)

And afterwards, lace'em up, the pond freezes quick and the nets are brand new.....

[Stoner]

Baloney.

[sweetlou]

Good defensive first period. Didn't allow Rags to skate around in circles in o zone.

Baloney.

Great.  Now he's begging.

[Norcal]

Borgen looks good tonight

[Stoner]

Nine chances? Really?

[DarthEbriate]

Alright -- lock S-foils in attack position. We're going to get the best from a team in the playoff hunt here in the 2nd.

[gilbert11]

I’m not watching the game.  So, it sounds like the Sabres ARE NOT dominating despite the advantage on shots right now?

Not by my count.  Not even close.

Sam falls. And kicks!

Rangers have good goaltending. That’s why they are doing so well. It’s the most important position in hockey
