If he's ever going to be our goalie, this needs to be the moment where he claims the job.

I know we all have similar stories around here, but I've always cringed at this one. The Bills missed the playoffs for my entire 20s. The Sabres missed for all of my 30s. I was willing to have people pay me to sink an entire franchise for my 40s, but haven't had any takers yet. I fear that the Sabres will just keep the streak going instead. Oh, and I met my wife one month after the Sabres' last playoff game. I just assume this means that the drought will never end. edit: Ahhh crap, I should have read Taro's follow up post before I made this one.

They go by NU, Northeastern University.

A contract

Do you also get the 2 or 3 completed holes on the golf course?

Ha, I never even saw October when I looked at the post. I'm trained to focus on the suffering.

I thought I was losing my mind and my ability to count, so I had to double check it. The Sabres are 1-5 in November. The sky is no longer falling!

Last year they won their Super Bowl early against KC and then went into a near death spiral. Sounds familiar.

You realize just how fortunate we are with Allen when you listen to Panther radio and hear them talk about how PJ Walker could be their franchise backup.

I can see that you’re always the life of the party.

Hint: look at the picture

He loves that sabretooth. I’m pretty sure he thinks the eyes are real.

I’m just going to let this one sit out there until you figure it out.

After reading this headline, all I can think is that I never knew the Sedins were fraternal twins.

Or at least Craig Anderson.

I apologize if this is incredibly poor taste, but I was really hoping that story would end it "turns out she was just drunk". I was also expecting the chasing guy to wind up being an ambulance chaser. I'm glad she's ok and that you don't have any pending criminal charges due to Dave.

I think my neighborhood as a whole agrees with my on how much of an eyesore they are. Only 2 houses had signs this year. Even the guy who is deep in bed with one of the parties didn't have any. The other wonderful thing is that my mailbox is back to nothing but credit card offers and extended car warranties. I need to ask Newman how much lighter that mail sack is. Ahhh, back to a much more simple time.

I hate election signs so much, so it's very possible. I had no intention of voting for candidate X after the first 7 signs that were put out in line about a foot apart, but the 8th one changed my mind.

They always linger for a while. It just means you get a second bonfire.

That sounds like the kind of crazy thing that a goalie would say.

D&D

The annual eye sore is no more. Sign me up for the bonfire made out of all the election yard signs!

27 of those 33 shots were in the first two periods. That egg they laid in the third people probably think very differently of the game. But instead it’s the same old crap we’ve seen for way too long now. The early fluke goal and they lose all hope. It spirals into bad periods and losing streaks. It’s the third thing that’s guaranteed in life.

The same exact thing that has killed them for so many years now. They’re the lays potato chips of bad hockey teams. Betcha can’t lose just one.
