Eleven

Yep. Baseball style. Play the make-up game only if it's necessary.

I think so too. After the coaches talked, not before. It takes the league time to make that decision, and that's ok, even if for no other reason than it keeps the streets clear for emergency vehicles and gives traffic control time to get into position.

Peverly?

It was obvious when the coaches met at midfield that they were taking that decision into their own hands, and God bless them for doing so.

I may be done, I have to consider whether I am willing to watch this anymore. Maybe I am, maybe I am not, but I do have to think about it.

It was so much fun. I just retired the (then) new parka that I had received as a Christmas gift specifically for that game. It lasted 15 years.

I think you're right, and I think it's a huge mistake. He's maintaining his workload now and the team is winning. He plays better in Buffalo (with a better defense, of course) than in Rochester and it's time to give him the reins and see if he can drive the wagon.

I thought I saw DeSmith out there? Or maybe that was just the pre-game walk.

ABC for antenna, right?

Insert the word "wrong" or "wrongly" in there and yeah.

He has earned it and I don't think it's something we forgot--I think it's something we were hoping for.

I apologize for the stupid question--but the IIHF site is bereft of information as always--are we in the elimination round now?

Indeed.

Yes. Some of them, with apostrophes or failures to pluralize verbs. My comment was specific to Granato.

People sometimes ask me my opinion on Don Granato. I'm undecided. That 5-on-3 in the first period, and the failure to pull Anderson in a timely manner, are reasons why.

He turned over the puck on three consecutive shifts in the first period!

Probably so.

OSU doesn't belong in the Big Ten or whatever it calls itself because the average student there can't read. It is the best academic conference, but Ohio State somehow is in there, Georgia--and I know you have a degree or two from there--is the second-best academic institution in the SEC (Vanderbilt, and don't bother arguing) but it's such a ***** academic conference (I think Florida still has a major in "shapes and colors") that one school actually hired ME. And Georgia would rather people not learn to read critically so it can continue to elect pencil head trolls. Like seriously, MTG looks like a pencil head troll from the 80s, and those jackasses almost elected Herschel Walker.

He is horrible.

A team from a school where no one can read or a team from a school where people are taught not to read. Hey, you asked.

I had no idea there was college football. I'll put that on. It's better than having an aneurysm dealing with people who think Mittlestadt is ok. Also, Liger, Amanda says hi to you and yours.

His WHAT? Are you out of your mind? Part of defensive hockey is not losing the puck in the first place!

He was HORRIBLE today. Cozens lost it once on the half-wall on the early power play, and then for the rest of the first period, it was the Sabres catching up to Mittlestadt's screwups. GET RID OF HIM AND HIS NO PULL-UP ASS NOW. I didn't like him as a draft pick, I didn't like him as a prospect, and I don't like him now. His tow-head ass can play anywhere else. Goodbye. I am assuming you mean the first period. It was a debacle. He looked like he was hung over.

I think the theory here is you do NOT want to play Buffalo after a disaster, whether snow or plane or whatever.

Yessir. He is the definition of an AAAA guy.
