Neo and I will be in for a little off the, uh, back. It'll be realllll quick. Seriously, has your salon thought about a "no-talk policy" during a session? It might reduce the risk only a bit, but every bit helps.

Nailed it!

Were these teams any good? Was it good hockey? Or just good hockey for the time? There's always the debate about which Sabres team would beat which Sabres team. After watching some of this game, I'd be on the worst tank team beating the 75 Sabres, a lot of it based on goaltending. But a lot of other things that were apparent.

Challenges facing Ralph Krueger entering his second calendar year as Sabres coach

You're in a barbershop with a car around you. And what good do the scrubs do? Sorry, this is funny.

I really don't appreciate this. I'm sure only one of us actually celebrates the holiday. This reminds me of the Thanksgiving you tried to tell me cloves are one of the ingredients in pumpkin pie spice.

Upon further review, the place did go nuts. Also, as much as I hate The Dunleavy non-goal goal call, Dan Kelly's call was outstanding. Here's a neat little breakdown of why the goal is so memorable:

I see Eichel and Dahlin discussions that were shamed. Anybody else here into en dashes and em dashes? PM me.

I assume we're trying to steal their research. I'll laugh if a certain segment of the population is outraged that an adversary is trying to hack us.

You're not gonna lecture me about Festivus.

Yeah, but...

Festivus Frank wasn't soft and gentle, he just hated the commercialization of Christmas. I've been trying to think of examples to support your claim. I came up with Frank going into the computer business and hiring his son, somewhat proudly, to be his salesman. Almost sentimental there. He did agree with Estelle once that Susan's parents deliberately didn't put out the marble rye, which forestalled another car argument. Still... not soft and gentle. He wistfully remembered his Korean lover before miraculously being reunited with her — then proceeded to stop short with her. I proclaim Frank possessed zero softness and gentleness.

Funny how the Sabres' royal blue looks very dark purplish blueish.

Rick grew up listening to and admiring Danny Gallivan, and, holy mackerel, can you hear a lot of Rick in Danny. The deadpan, dry humor for one thing. Rick lifted some of the expressions word for word.

Bring back the (non-OT) bench-clearing goal celebration. IIRC the ban on them came after a series of bench-clearing brawls in the early 80s.

The camera work is awesome! So tight to the play. The faces, the faces.

Hopefully New York barbers and customers are smart enough to both wear masks.

This might be brilliant. I guess you didn't hear about one space between sentences. You monster.

What strikes me about the Orr photo is how there's only a decent number of people going beserk in the crowd. It's not like the Bruins won the Cup a lot. In fact, shockingly in an era of only six teams, this was their first Cup in 29 years. Was it the fact they only had to beat St. Louis to do it? More likely, IMHO, folks weren't nearly as fanatic back then about sports.

I liked him better as the dad on The King of Queens. Frank was odd, mean almost. Arthur was eccentric in a more charming way and certainly more loving.

Uncertainty and not being educated about something are not the same.

Good. From a practical point of view, does it mean anything?

The beauty of hockey and its ugliness.
