Martha Stewart had a commercial selling kitty litter and the owner of the cat doing the duties was an actor she kept calling Bryson.

Are you seeing this? Bryson is helping Martha Stewart sell kitty litter?

Boussh could've given us some gummibears...

Cozens was due. VO and JJP: you're both next.

Brutally long shift started in the o-zone, got trapped in the d-zone, and couldn't get a stick on it to clear.

Stuart Skinner hasn't stolen anything yet. The Sabres can still turn this into a rout.

I care. It's tied once more.

I searched for it... but it appears to have gotten overshadowed by "Vikings are frauds" conversations because the waiving of Jost was the same weekend the Vikings got beat 40-3 at home by the Cowboys.

I'm sure they loved the Greef line when it a dynamo to no end. But it's no different than how we treat our scapegoats, whether they be Eichel or Skinner during Krueger, or Mitts or VO, etc. Sports show hosts have to have a take no matter what the player has done for them lately.

Spring training has retired baseball managers on your mind? 🍺

Evander Kane making a surprise return to the lineup? Like in a wrestling event --- he comes charging out of the dressing room midway through the game with a folding chair in hand.

On his podcast, he and his Minnesota cronies are ecstatic that GM Guerin tricked Buffalo into giving a 2nd for Greenway. They didn't mention that the Sabres had three 2nds and could give one away without much concern, and a late (LV) 2nd at that. Of course, it's 2 remaining years on a contract and a defensive forward with speed which is something the Sabres need badly. From the MN perspective, it was a guy due for a change of scenery and "addition by subtraction".

Weeknight, 730 PM start time, home game, not in goatheads, against one of the biggest names/top-end Canadian teams, trap game because tomorrow is the real game against NYI. Don't let this be another Toronto/ROR debacle. Show up as a team tonight from the start. Play defense. Don't make me yell "wake up!". Be ready for it.

Good call -- the Shane Wright approach. A couple games as a 2/3W --- go have fun and try to get your first NHL points. Then give him the Condensed Krebs. Put him at center between Girgs and Jost/KO. Learn the expectations on defense, just focus on cycling with veterans on offense. 5 games in Rochester. Then WJC. Then back to Winnipeg.

How many points does the final wildcard need? Tampa could free-fall, but I also think they still have time to catch themselves and crank out a 4-1 stretch with Vasilevskiy saying "Enough!". That puts an end to the regular season by April. Then, they could easily fold again including in the playoffs.

Just as long as Muel and Jost (and yes, Stillman, too) are available vs. NYI tomorrow. Let's let this game be 12-10 Sabres. Or... you know, 3-0 Sabres.

Now, VO is going to net a hat trick for the win. Yes, one of them will be an ENG, but that's fine. ENGs = victories.

Gah! Heal up, Jost --- if only so that 'Space can argue over VO to sit.

I don't get it either. I still would give VO a box view/refresh tonight and then bring him back in vs. NYI and let JJP get a breather that game. Missing Muel is going to be tough. But the Sabres won in EDM early this season with only 5 D after Boushh made his shot-block that knocked him off his game for 8 weeks (we're all pretty much agreeing it was some form of a broken foot, right?). It was the game that Boushh killed (cleanly!) Dylan Holloway.

While Tampa has looked like garbage, I'm not sure any of the wild card teams should worry about them. To make up the 11 points in the standings, the Sabres will need 6 more wins than them the rest of the way. Even if TBL goes a pretty poor 8-12 in their final 20, BUF would need to be 14-7 (well above current pace) to get to 96 points over TB's 95. Now, if TBL loses another 5 in a row, then things get interesting....

More of a South Pacific man myself. In my idealized form I would hope to be. I did just re-set up my drumkit a week ago. While I can't play while the dog is in the house, the plan is to re-learn how to re-learn music as a good way to keep the brain sharp as midlife hits.

Affirmative. Tonight is ESPN+/Hulu exclusive so we'll get the ESPN announcers.

ESPN/Disney/Hulu bundle. It was really really cheap for the first year but is starting to go steadily up. NHL Network needs to join a streaming platform... NHL.com advertises that you can find games on ESPN+, so maybe their own network could get on ESPN+... I'll make it legal.

RJ is yelling at us everyday, "Not out!"

A fantastic album. This one, too.
