I guess I'm confused as to why there's so much confusion that, to me, UPL brings Youppi to mind. It sounds similar, I didn't think it was controversial.

Is Youppi pronounced 'You Pea'? I've only ever seen it written so I'm not actually sure. UPL = 'You Pea Ell'

FWIW, I only know about the Budd Dwyer incident because of the Filter song "Hey Man Nice Shot". I was at the Richard Zednik game, it was utterly chilling. I don't recall how much, if any blood, was evident on the ice but that's probably because I felt totally numb.

I have no problem with referring to him as 6K. Most nicknames are stupid, it's kind of half of the fun. Besides, saying/reading UPL makes me think of:

My initial impression of this new line is Cozens was born to skate with Greenway. And what the Tuch!

What is Tuttle's Corsi?

Through 5 1/2 periods: Benson, Greenway, Erik Johnson and Levi are all legit improvements. Clifton is shaky. It hasn't all come together but this team is better than last year.

I was curious how they'd react to all the hype they've received all offseason. A lot of what I've heard from them sounds like they may think they've already arrived, even if they're saying all the right things. This is still an incredibly young team so I'm not shocked at the performance. I don't think it lacked passion but it certainly wasn't focused. As far as I'm concerned, I expect this to be a learning experience and they'll right the ship in short order.

I'm not particularly worried but I am fairly disappointed. They looked sloppy and slow. Some of that is due to the rust but the Rangers looked focused and disciplined. I'll also allow that some early calls didn't go their way which frustrated them and they didn't respond appropriately. I liked the physicality and expect them to rebound quickly. Let's go, Buffalo.

A jacket for the discerning Sabres fan negotiating his or her way through the Dudley-Muckler transition. I love it!
