K-9

Not a cloud in the sky yesterday and today, but we will wake up cloudy skies tomorrow and it looks like they will remain all day. God farts on Buffalo once again. 😂

Bisonette is a regular hockey savant, he is; the Rain Man of hockey commentary.

Good Oopie means we have a chance. A slim chance, but a chance. Bad Oopie means no chance at all. Needless to say, we got bad Oopie today.

Call the timeout Donny! 😂

Lazy play by Quinn and crap goaltending by Oopie.

Nice Levi is a puck eating machine lately. 33/35 tonight for another solid .942 save percentage.

Where ya sittin’ Promo?

Wahlberg with his 1st as an Amerk.

I assure you, the great ones are certainly not a dime a dozen. That said, a great QB can certainly turn average into good and good into really good.

Fair enough.

I use my non-dominant hand in a backhanded fashion. This way it feels like somebody else is doing it. 😂

It ain’t about owning/not owning one’s opinions, it’s about not being a douche in the process, which Mr. Allen was, but that’s just my opinion. 😂 Opinions can and should be flexible based on the information they are based on at the time they are formed. And there is nothing wrong with that.

Watching this team keep spinning its wheels lost its entertainment value a while ago. The simple fact is we regressed from last season. Not saying the season hasn’t had its moments particularly where Oopie is concerned, and Benson has been a revelation. But all in all, just not much to write home about.

I’m all for giving Power the time he needs to grow and develop into the defenseman we all want to see and he has shown some glimpses in the midst of some gaffs, but what is this about this team being “competent and good” since he got here? We’ve been inconsistent at best. At best.

Isn’t that what we said last year?

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.

Collins is less than a year and a half away from his ACL/MCL tear and surgery when he was with the Bengals. Seems like his career has been stunted by one injury or incident after another. But he has started 86 games in this league despite that. If he can stay healthy (a big if, imo), his position flexibility can really help. We were interested in him before he signed with the Bengals, so Beane finally got his man.

Like it was yesterday. Sometimes it’s hard to believe I was 16 once.

“Huge” is a relative term to begin with, but previous contracts in history really don’t have any bearing, anyway. As I said, if Diggs lights it up in Houston some team is gonna offer him big money, regardless because, again, they just can’t help themselves.

Some team will throw big money at him if he has a great year. They just can’t help themselves.

Is the boi-oi-oi-oing moment the same as the schwing! moment?

Benson needed to be on the Amerks roster by 3pm on trade deadline day to be eligible for the playoffs. I believe he would be eligible to return to the CHL only after his NHL season ends, but junior teams would already be in the playoffs by then and I don’t know if they have similar playoff eligibility rules.

Speaking of D prospects, Ryan Johnson is looking good with the Amerks, too. Especially his skating, which is already elite, imo.
