I'm a gonna say it ... she can't sing.  I suppose that does not matter atoll, eh !!??

I have absolutely zero expectations for this one as this is the game I was expecting them to lose out of the four. If they can somehow get a loser point, that would be a win in my book.

[Ctaeth]

Is demko out?  I think he is?  I feel like we have a shot without him

She sings better'n I do, innit?

I always enjoy matchups against the Sabres' NHL-entry twin.

I'll check the score first thing when I wake up tomorrow.

Let's Go, Buffalo!

Game of the year. If the Sabres win Id say they’ll go on a roll. If they lose I can see them falling too far behind

I mean she isn't Lady Gaga, but she is also better singer than say Trey Anastasio (most people are). 

It is a spectrum.

Canucks have been struggling and Demko is out with injury. MIGHT be the right time to play them. Will be a tough game hopefully they find a way tonight and Levi has a big game

(They're already too far behind, but maybe the teams ahead will choke more than the Sabres do.)

They play most of the teams ahead of them at least 1 more time

How do you do that, exactly? Pull up NHL scores on your phone?

Do you just look or do you seductively reveal it? Sometimes I cover the screen with my hand and slowly pull it down to reveal the result pixel by pixel.

I used to do that with the score in the newspaper in the morning as a 7/8 year old kid

If everyone but Buffalo plays 0.500 points % hockey from here out (not actually that big of a stretch when you look at how inconsistent all these teams have been), the Caps would top out the group at 90 points (for WC2 ... TB seems to be running away with WC1), lowering Buffalo's magic number to 20 instead of 22! Woo! Let's hear it for the mediocrity of the WC teams in the East!

She writes most of her own songs. That's an even more impressive skill.

So it's Mango?  Like your hands and feet?

Drove 5 hours to be at the game tonight. 
Great seats my son got me for Christmas. Canucks defensive zone face off dot, row 10 lower bowl.

In the history of the cousins only a couple of wins separates the two teams head to head. 
 

I expect Van to come out flying but their issue has been holding leads so if we can minimize the damage we have a shot. Hope for a good game and an OT Sabres win!

Yeah, but I am gonna be a genius anyways. 

[CallawaySabres]

A loss tonight coupled with some bad scoreboard outcomes could bury them pretty quickly. I thought 3-1 on this trip could be enough but I am starting to think they have to go 4-0.
