Can’t believe there is even still a chance
If the Flyers lose to the BJs and the Sabres beat the Wings and the Sens beat the Caps, the planets might really be aligning.

Late to the party but attendance was pretty dismal last night. It was noticeable seeing all the empty blue seats.
Life's funny. It's going to be so awkward for thousands of people filing into the arena for Game 3. Will they have no shame?

Lol you complain that the models can’t predict rain and you want them to predict density of cloud cover in a small area, during a small window of time?
I concede.
I would ask why the same NWS office has a forecast for next Friday for the city of Buffalo, but you conceded, so I won't.
Meteorologists aren't honest until they have to be. Tens of millions of people are looking to them. Kudos I guess for saying who the hell knows. But what about the other 364 days of the year?

Why is it that the “I have sources” guy is always a tool?
People who won't own their opinions are also tools.
If the Sabres are ever good, should I deny ever saying anything bad about Terry?

Wait….. wasn’t it just a couple of days ago the NWS was in the pockets of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce?
I suspect most of this is you playing the grumpy old man character. You are asking meteorologists to predict when an area maybe 60 miles wide is going to have mid or low atmospheric elevations see water vapor condense into microdroplets around a -1hr time window, something their models are poorly tuned to predict given their emphasis on actually impactful predictive modeling.
Yes, if you want to know if it going to be party sunny within your viewing horizon around a specific, short period of time, your porch window is always going to be your most accurate tool.
We're 48 hours out. There should be more certainty. You can't just say let's wait until noon on Monday and we'll have a better idea.

Remember what the carrot has always been going alllll the way back to Suffering. The franchise was not going to be about just making the playoffs. They were building and still are building a team that would perennially contend.

So, does anyone know why Donny decided to get vocal with his team last night, up to and
including a second period timeout? Where was that all season? I can't help but feel that he's been told, that if he can't make a run... He's out.
Forgive me if this was already discussed.
I think this goes back to at least his blowing up at the refs after a correct call after perhaps some dubious calls. I think it's all tied to season ticket renewal time.

Do people really not go outside because it’s cold or raining?
There is no bad weather, just bad gear.
Of course, if the reason you are going out is to see the sun, it might be an issue. 😂
But K-9 is right, although you might not see it directly, at this point, does anyone really not know what a total eclipse looks like? It will still be kinda nuts to be outside in total darkness during the day.
Wish I was going to be there.
The darkness does nothing for me. Odd, innit?

This is embarrassing
It is. But the Sabres are counting on it. Hell DG probably saved his job by calling one freaking timeout.

Buffalo certainly won’t be the only place marred by cloud cover for the eclipse, as most of the center of totality in the US has clouds in the forecast. While not optimal, it doesn’t have to run the event for people.
I'd say it's ruined if you can't see the event. Imagine paying to see the Sabres play in the dark. Wait...
Meanwhile Buffalo weather nerds are really going out on a limb.
"Cloud forecast during the Monday afternoon eclipse remains uncertain at this junction and may not even be fully known until just a few hours before the event starts."
Nate Silver says hello.
Is the jig completely up on "experts" yet?
As the older folk say, Just look out the window.

I don't get why Dan has to say stuff like The Sabres are looking for a goal here... Flyers are looking to tie it up. Duh.

Donny’s 2nd intermission speech.
“We just gotta keep not tying and get lucky”
This just in, you’re a pompous ass.
Surprised you got the you're right for once.

How are you watching? I’m streaming DirecTV and I’m at least 20-30 seconds behind.
This just in. Streaming is delayed.

That's the other thing. Why is the puck sticking in the net so much this year? There's no visual clue there's a goal.
-
The end wall behind the Philly net is retaining representation.

Kudos to someone at the Sabres. Goal announcement did not read Philadelphia's FIRST goal.

Donny had to hydrate after that berating.

I feel like in the Roswell slogan Spend Just One Day With Us! the exclamation point is not a good choice.

Anyone else hearing a whistle blow, like from crowd or something?
I see blowing.

When did they put sliding covers over the photographers hole in the glass?

Did the ref just wave off a fan?

Will Buffalo be a good place to see the total eclipse of the sun?

What I do with the forecast is up to me.
I'm doing research on cloud patterns in spring near Lake Erie and would like to come to Buffalo next weekend.
Aud's nerds at the airport are telling me Saturday will be partly sunny (mostly cloudy but after another work week with crummy weather they need to give us some hope).
According to you that forecast is unrealistic. What's the point then?
My problem with meteorologists is they want the cool, smart cred to tell us the weather five, seven, 10, 45 (!) days in advance, and have us believe it. Normally it only ruins someone's outdoor plans. But when 10s of millions of people are counting on it, suddenly it's... What do we know? Check back at 1:30 on Monday.
They're bums.
