  1. oh, man. that would be cool.

     

    but the hockey crowd would not go for it, get on board.

    I love the beginning of that version. A mock mournful sound for our dear departed opponent. I don't know why the crowd wouldn't love it, with the Buffalo reference and all. And so easy to sing along to. At first they could put the words up on the scoreboard. It would take some time to catch on, sure.

     

    eleven, did you ever take your idea to anyone at the Sabres?

  2. good stuff.

     

    I started my career as a left winger, so I was always receiving passes with the puck outside my body, away from the net. If you’re a playmaker, you might prefer this. I didn’t know how big of a difference this made until I got traded to Pittsburgh. Dan Bylsma walked in the first day and asked, “Hey, do you think you could play right wing?”

    I’m like, “Uh, well I’ve never played it before, so I’m not sure?”

    He says, “Okay great, you’re playing right wing.”

    Once I got used to it, I really elevated my game, because whenever I shot the puck on my forehand, the release point was closer to the net. I was a threat at all times, especially on one-timers. I ended up scoring 40 goals the next season. So whenever a guy switches wings, it has a lot of implications for how he plays. (Thanks, Dan. You were one of the best teachers I’ve ever had.)

    OK, that was weird. At first I thought you, Smell, were talking about your hockey career. I thought you'd been burying the lead all these years, because you never talked about playing. Then, when you got traded to Pittsburgh, I thought it was a tongue in cheek post of some kind. Toward the end, the bulb went off and I realized you had cut and pasted. It was quite the ride of a read. I may need a drink.

     

    See, I've never professed to understand hockey's technicalities, and I've never played. But it always made sense to me to play your off wing for the very reasons Neal is talking about.

  3. PA's cynicism and skepticism about these kinds of things be damned, #SpiderMable is the best.

    And you know I had to plunk down a few bucks for the cause.

    Ah, come on, that's not fair. You keep wanting to stir that up. No one can think clearly about this subject, so I've given up trying to make the argument. Besides, there's no comparison between what the city of Edmonton and the Oilers are doing for this girl and what I've objected to in the past.

  4. I was driving home from Oswego tonight.  Just had a very pleasant weekend with my girlfriend.  

     

    A drive that normally takes ~2 hours and 20 minutes took me over 4 hours because I kept stopping to find a quiet place to watch the moon.  When the full eclipse happened and the moon was gone it got a little bit cloudy.  I listened to music while I waited and had myself a little 1-man silent disco in a vineyard overlooking Seneca Lake until the blood moon came out.  Its little peeks through the clouds felt like the sun was teasing me.  Great night.

    You probably shouldn't have checked out the old abandoned farm house at the end of that country lane. Wow, that was close, huh? And the music playing from the barn, how creepy was that? Sounded a bit familiar?

  5. I'm glad the Bills are winning. I really am. I am struggling to find something negative to say, but I've got something. I had the radio broadcast on for a bit and the advertising was just ridiculous. Everything is sponsored, the timeout, the defensive coverage, the hit. I counted about three sponsorships a minute in the five minutes I listened. Number one, it's annoying, but almost comically so. Number 2, I wonder how much bang for the buck the advertiser is getting. The message gets lost when there are so many competing advertisers. Number 3, if Russ Brandon has this in mind for the Sabres, I will not be happy. Thankfully, hockey does not lend itself to that many insertions, unless they want to go with, "Eichel the shawwww-aawwwwwwt brought to you by Duffy's Tavern on Elmwood, take a shhhhawwww-awwwwwwt after the game."

  6. Saw it beginning in the late afternoon sky on our way to hockey. Was pretty much gone by the time we left. But thanks, facebook, for providing so many fuzzy blurry pictures of a glowy spot in the sky.

    That's funny. I got some "awesome pics" from my sister in law. Superbloodmoon or a cat with glaucoma, I have no idea.

    Anyone have really exceptionally weird dreams last night like me? 

     

    Supermoonlucidity? 

    What year did they play at Artpark? I want to say 87.

  7. Three things are happening at once. It's a Supermoon. The moon is closest to earth in its orbit, so it looks larger than usual. There's a total lunar eclipse. And that will result in a so called blood moon where, during the totality of the eclipse, the moon will look reddish or coppery. It's well underway, so if skies are clear where you are, look to the east. This won't happen again until 2033.
