Dreams Burn Down

I'm impressed by the VO-Jost-Mitts line. They started out battling and continued throughout. Great start.

VO! Good for him.

The third line hemmed them in. Great work.

If the Chiefs win today (Courtesy of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle): Who do the Bills play if they're the No. 2 seed? There are four options: the New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers or Jacksonville Jaguars. Who do the Bills play if they're the No. 3 seed? Buffalo would host either the Baltimore Ravens or Los Angeles Chargers.

There's no need for theatrics, but finishing checks strongly and establishing the body early might go a long way tonight.

I've been expecting this team to fold under pressure and regress. That is moreso out of what's happened in years past than what my eyes have seen from this team since their late- season surge last year. This team is a departure from those of the recent past. They have a resiliency that is a pleasure to watch. Yes, they had the 8 game losing streak. In past years, that would have become a months-long funk. They also struggle in the third period, but have still managed to win a majority of those games, regardless. In years past, they simply lost those games. This team will be a tough out through the end of the season. If they do miss the playoffs, it will be by less than 5 points instead of 20-plus points. I believe we'll be at least a Wild Card entry and be nipping at Toronto's heels for second in the division by the end.

The day I root for either of them is the day I jump in front of oncoming traffic. As Dana Carvey, portraying George H. W. Bush, used to say, "Not ga da."

That's how it's done. Hattie for Tage!

I believe that's called a love tap.

Their whistles do work. Imagine that.

Jost from Mitts. Great effort!

UPL is keeping us in it. I hope we can answer on the other end.

After the Tyler Ennis episode, I've held a deep hatred for Ovechkin. He can score 1000 goals, he's still a first-class a******.

It seems that way. I remember a lot of those bursts of speed when he was with us either ended up in his skates or at the side of the net. I saw a lot of the same when we played the Penguins, too.

Sheary still has no finish.

Quinn at the blue line and now Cozens; both with beautiful moves.

Tuch with the work and Tage with the quick wrist shot.

The game's slowing down for UPL.

Tage! What a rocket.

Careful, Boosh.

Nice, UPL. Let Ovie scowl away.

We're we tackled behind the play? Nevermind. Mitts went Mitts, again.

I've watched a bunch of TT's greatest hits and he still amazes me. Wow!

Girgs digging like a mad fool. Very good.
