Well I don't like either one of you then. What can I say? I need new whipping boys.

I'd be in your camp but last night I was in hyper-observant mode. Very young kids were getting into the classic music played by the band in the arena. Beach Boys, Queen, a few I can't remember. And of course Sweet Caroline defies the demographic odds as well. I wonder if Rick thinks of himself as an artist or musician of sorts. Diamond sings about how all the street noise is basically an invitation to put a tune to it. And that's exactly what Rick did for decades with the clanks, slaps, dings, swooshes and of course the roars of the crowd.

Of all the gifts Rick has given us, perhaps one more: an arena song? The words work. ... It makes me feel good, like a hand in a glove...

The Rehearsal.

While I would have been in the Yes camp in the past, at least in terms of the championship banners, as I looked up last I changed my mind. They are history. As for the retired number banners I don't see the issue and I've worked in print design for years. I guess I haven't studied them. Studies have shown that the vast majority of people can't tell or don't notice the difference between typefaces even when it's serif vs. non serif. This is an odd topic for today lol.

I am taking Rick's three words to heart. I kind of realized it even before the words, when I couldn't bring myself to boo the Pegulas. I've said my peace. Starting today, I will have nothing bad to say about Kim and Terry Pegula or their family. I'm done.

It was momentary but intense and made the point then Terry was applauded for his remarks. Rick's night wasn't marred. The fans were spot on. My God what a thing of beauty. The smallest plays were saluted. The wave was awesome then smartly put away for crunch time. We want 4 was textbook... we want 5 after going up a goal? No traction. Textbook. Nothing went wrong. The Sabres staff hit a home run that sailed out of the building, flew over the baseball field and landed by that car museum. I talk about the crest on the front and not the names on the back. I've tended over the years to keep the players at arm's length. But I will love every one of them by name for the gift they gave me, the fans and most of all, Rick. I work with the elderly. Their treatment of Rick on the ice touched me profoundly. It might be a while before that beautiful noise has a lullabye effect on me.
