He rang the dinner bell.

I know we've had our problems, but I Iove you. I always have.

You're a drunk wife? Punctuate!

Ref's great great great great great great great great grandparents were pillaged.

Risto lol.

Tonight's shaping up more as Joe Daley in Boston.

They took a commercial break when they shouldn't have.

And if the Sabres decide to trade Eichel in advance and end up making a good trade, you'd be opposed?

So much overthinking from a fan base that has suffered so much. Do you go for a name coach? Of course. Do you make a good trade of Eichel? Of course you do. Are Risto and Reinhart must-keeps? Of course not. As someone who's really smart once said, "What the hell do you have to lose?"

Yeah, the Sabres really showed 'em. Is it possible this fine is just Phase One of league action? Are we assuming the Panarin stuff won't be disciplined?

This is a losing fan culture defined. If anything remotely similar is happening with the team, that's a losing team culture defined. It's an 82 game season. It's a mistake to think any one game is not winnable. Fans should always be disappointed in losing. Mad, even. Same for the players, times 10. (A playoff series with the Isles right now might be a different story.) The players need to learn the habits of success, one of which is to despise losing. They beat the Islanders last night. They can and should do it again. Period.

Spoken like a true musician.

Tire pumping must be exhausting.

Turns it on in contract year garbage time. Am I doing this right?

The difference in the situations of the respective coaches should be apparent.

Just go out and play in games that mean nothing against opponents who don't take you seriously.

What if there are two Jake Virtanen on the Canucks and Alana Kelly is Marty Biron's nom de plume?

Please.

Are there accusations of churlish slander at family gatherings? "That potato salad does NOT have Miracle Whip in it! Take it back, you churlish slanderer!"

I was thinking more along the lines of a late night infomercial for hernia belts designed for obese men made of space age polymers. Risto has never been asked to carry a franchise to ONE freaking measly playoff berth in a league that passes them out like Big Mac coupons. Nor has he been paid as such. Risto can play the appropriate role, which you nailed — something along the lines of second/third pair guy on a contender. Eichel has to play his role — leader and top center on a playoff team. Still waiting...

So he wanted to fight when it was physically impossible to do so? Do it next time in open ice after someone tries to use a Swiss Army Knife to open your sack of Swedish Fish.

Senator...

Who's out there who's better than Lindy Ruff?

Hello, friends, I'm Will Borgen, professional hockey player. Are you expanding? Do you need protection?
