The chair of the NRSC thinks Trump is a "Misguided Missle" and is gameplanning his nomination. Interesting reading. https://www.washingtonpost.com/apps/g/page/politics/memo-on-donald-trump-from-ward-baker-to-nrsc-senior-staff/1898/ There are some gems here.

12 dead in San Bernardino. 3 shooters?

Maybe the reason I never got into any of these comic book movies. The cartoons ruined most of these characters 40 years ago with schlock like that.

More shootings. San Bernadino. This is getting way too common.

I think it's a high estimate, but the power-play has been good. It hasn't been because of the left point. He's also 21. No need to give him that label yet.

Did you see the play. He was beat and closed, and lifted. Nice play.
-
Risto had a play yesterday I haven't seen a Sabre do in years. He caught up to a guy on the breakaway and used his reach to lift the stick from behind. There is nothing pedestrian about that. That dropped my jaw. it was beautiful.

I'll cry uncle. Please let us turn the page on that night and season.

The women in my life tell me moist is a dirty word. Almost as bad as cluster. Moist and cluster. Not sexy, I'm told. Not sexy at all.

I just wonder how he managed to get that footage of me to make it look like I was booing myself. -
GMTM is about focus. Get the goalie equipment right. :)

Gionta - maybe I'm willfully missing something - but he's not turning the puck over as in giving away, he's throwing the puck deep to turn the D. It is by design. Pull the opposition d behind their own nets with speed on the left and bring the weak side forward down to pin the puck deep. Gionta is very good at this. It gives slow pokes like Franson time to enter the zone, and it lets guys like Risto set up for the cycle up top. Gionta is really following the design to a T. It really forces opposition to drop their forwards low, but it opens up the Buffalo attack from the right point. Which is the Sabres strength. I don't think there is a player doing this better. Anyway. I'm happy with him. -

Gionta didn't get any PP time in OT that I noticed. He was on the ice in OT though. Why? .....I don't think you can throw Moulson out there. -

Gionta creates speed through the neutral zone. He's a terrrific player in transition. He really is. I think you could question his PP minutes - fairly - but really, watch how many times the guy wins the zone. And he doesn't take penalties. (last night the exception). -

Which is something I think you should reconsider. Gionta consistently gets the puck into the offensive zone. Almost every shift. You could go with a bigger player, or you could go with a better scorer, but he's getting the puck deep with remarkable consistency. This takes pressure off the D, the goalie, and its creating shots. That's why he gets the minutes. -

Not getting the Gionta hate at all. That was his second penalty of the year by the way. His second. His second minor in 22 games. He's getting minutes because we don't have better. Blaming him for that game is crazy. I'd point to the penalty kill. How do Kane and Zemgus get caught deep on the Kill with a one goal lead with 6 minutes to play? -
