Vesey is still playing in this league?

Meesa J J Peterka! Yousa people gonna score!

Lock s-foils in attack position.

Fear (of losing) leads to anger. Anger (at the players/coach) leads to hate. Hate (at the franchise) leads to suffering of the self as a fan. By sheer numbers, someone under 21 years old is likely to score a goal.

I missed last night's game, but I guess I didn't miss much. Adding yet two more rookies into an already (comparably) unstructured defensive team and taking out two of your best defensive forwards... against the Devils? The outcome isn't too surprising. What is surprising is that when GM Sheevyn lost Girgs and Greenway, the callups weren't veteran or more sound defensive players. The obvious replacement to Girgs from Rochester is Rousek. There is no obvious replacement for Greenway in terms of acumen/size. Cederqvist doesn't have the speed. So maybe Rousek and one of the kids. Or Biro who at least has skated with the team recently. But to try and ice Benson, Kulich, Rosen, and adding in VO and Jost who aren't exactly dominating this season, that's on the GM.

Kulich and Rosén in the same debut game? Yeesh. Two many rookies at once. But I hope they ignite the power play.

The long time ago in a state far, far away Wisconsinite in me recommends a perfect brandy Manhattan with a blue cheese olive. More people need to be turned onto that drink. (But a Wisconsin old fashioned? No thanks. Way too sweet.)

Drat that cable cutting and TNT. This will become radio-only for me once home. But for the moment finishing a Skookum Brewing Memory of Light imperial stout. Is good. I like imperial things.

Well, shoot. Happy (US) Thanksgiving to you all.

Confidence boost? Reward for a goal? When was the last Sabres shot on goal? They went full Alamo Death Star, even unto the OT.

Now we know which defenseman to sit next game, right HCDG?

Joker has to be willing to absorb a hit there and avoid the icing.

Phew. That was too close.

It is the Matt Ellis of power plays. But what surprises me is that it doesn't have any grind to it. Ellis was in Detroit. I mean... drop a Holmstrom in front of the net on PP2 and go have fun.

Good kill. (Now clear the zone, please.)

Good score. But... 5-on-3... get it going side to side, take it low... why are you only trying to set up the one-timer from the dot?

They were planning to do a drop-pass rush and mess it up... maybe an own goal.

That fight was supposed to be Benson's.

I remember hearing many in-mouth and lip stitches. Not sure if there was any jaw damage, though.

Now he just needs to fight and throttle Wilson in some sort weird Code garbage. Then assist VO for the empty-netter.

Here's my first goal. Choke on it.

WHOOOOOOOOOO! HOOO HOOOOO!

WARNING! NON-STAR WARS MOVIE! Every time someone says his full name I just think the bad cop in First Blood say... "Peterka. John J?"

Meesa JJ Peterka. Meesa your humble goal scorer!

Even your most talented lines need someone who does the boardwork and is just a bit more of a grinder, or just crazy. They often end up having great 3-year runs and then disappear while the superstars do their work. Your Kevin Stevenses. More recently in Toronto - Hyman or Bunting.
