I'll be watching the Sabres. There's plenty of time to do so what with the 75 commercial breaks an NFL game has. Of course during intermission I can flip over and see a minute and 30 seconds of football be played. I could stream the Bills on my tablet. It's likely that will occur just so I can see both. If the Bills play well and the Sabres are too much to make even me not want to have them on the big screen then I will flip the hockey game to the tablet. It's 2018.. no reason you can only see one of the events going on. Of course my kid has a hockey game in West Seneca today... but he's still on the IR so I shipped him off with another family and I am staying home. It would have been worth it had I been able to talk to Marty Biron (we play his son today) but knowing he'll be at the studio doing hockey I figured why bother going to West Seneca. Go Sabres.. Go Bills. It could be a good day. Hell, it'll be a warmer day if nothing else.

I'm watching skeleton on NBCSN. I love people who are insane.

Watching the WJC and checking here and drinking... I missed how much time was left. Oh well. Here we go.

Dann. Sorry MODO. Friggin Canada. Sigh.

All of the commercials... They are all bad.

At least we're thinking the same thing.

Jeez. Zemgus is only 24. Drafted in 2012. He's the longest tenured Sabre right? Not counting Pominville who took a hiatus. I feel like that says a lot about this team.

Beer 3 for the second period. I like that math.

My 2nd beer says.... Bring on #3.

Rohrbach Space Kitty.

Not my fault. :)

Pre-game DIPA ingested. I'm good to go. USA showed up. It's all a bonus now.

I'm more likely to watch the Sabres. Might put the Bills game on the tablet.

I'm all in for Sweden tonight. They should show well and if they can play the disciplined game they did against USA they should be in a great spot to win the game. Mittelstadt has looked great and I do hope for more today from him. Today's game is a sign of how players respond after failing. They blew up yesterday and anyone with pride should want to win this game big.

Risto was on a 2 game goal streak and ended up watching the game from the press box. I wonder if Reino can pull off the same feat? I'll probably have the game on tonight.. because I still relish the times my son and I can sit down and watch a game of hockey together. I'll hate it. He'll hate it. But we'll probably enjoy it a little bit as well.

Does Pittsburgh's loss tonight help grease the wheels for a trade? This game is a joke. They can use the Wild video on how to play hockey.

Based on the slo-no review in the intermission it's the right call on Risto. If he goes for more of a hip check then I think there's no call. Doesn't help that the Nation hit is fresh in the minds of officials either. Risto plays with an edge and he crossed it there.

Yup. Proud to pretty much never get a snow day in my 4 years at Kenmore East.

He did.. and he didn't get lucky. I like that he was the focus. I like that he still had chances. I didn't like that he became somewhat predictable. I absolutely hated him not passing on the 3-0. That has to be a goal and the easiest play for the goaltender to defend is the puck carrier never really looking at a pass option. Oh well.. he showed well and that's all we can ask for. Nylander was one of the top 3 for Sweden as well which is encouraging.

He became the focus of the other teams. They talked about it on the broadcast. Sweden has had 2 to 3 guys on him as soon as he touches the puck.

Ok. There is a little fire. Now Sweden gets to take free clearing shots at the empty net though.

Sweden forcing the US to play poorly and the US showing no moxie. Mittelstadt needed to pass on the 3-0. That would have changed things. Sweden wants it and they are playing very disciplined hockey to get there.

Hopefully able to watch some of this after watching Team USA today. Going to be a really tough game.

You pulled from a gem my friend. The bomb cyclone is a legitimate term according to NPR. It has to do with the pressure in a storm system dropping 24 millibars or more in a day. The article I read at one point said they expect it to be about 50 millibars. I like this article on it. https://www.popsci.com/bomb-cyclone#page-7

How's the Porkchop Express running these days?
