For starters, I'll take the Steelers to get in over Buffalo. I see 6 more wins on their schedule right now and that's before we even discuss the 12/15 game where they host the Bills. Anybody wanna bet money on the Bills going to Pittsburgh in December and coming up with a win? Anyone?
This season has been all cute and everything but it ends on Thanksgiving. 4 straight L's to Dallas, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and New England put them, at best, in a must win situation v. the Jets in week 17 while the Steelers and the Ravens play each other for the division and WC with both holding tiebreakers over Buffalo should Buffalo lose. Think about that scenario for more than 3 seconds and tell me you still feel comfortable.
Even when the Bills were good, and yes I'm old enough to remember...I didnt really play the what if game with looking down the schedule. Now that they've been irrelevant for two decades I've been largely apathetic for most of the time, but when they do put together the odd early season promising run like this one I'm in the "show me the final second ticking off the clock in a playoff clinching win" camp.

I hate it when anyone on this forum says they have a source. It really makes me think they are soooo full of ?
Other forums you are either not allowed to say that, or if you have a source, you are forced to disclose it to the webmaster/head honcho and when they verify you are in fact telling the truth, you are then allowed to say you actually do have a reputable source. Instead of coming off like you’re trying your hardest to blow smoke up everyone’s asp.
I understand the sentiment, but as a long time member of this forum I'd think that I have established the credibility to not be full of *****. This is not information that I received from joe blow on the next bar stool.

I have it from a very good source that it's not the hip(s) injury, but a different significant injury that Bogo is suffering from.

Good morning,
wow nit a nice sight, just tuned in when ullmark let that go in, he is having a bad bad night?
Not his best, but hung out to dry often.

Ugly. Since last 5 minutes of the 1st they look like the depths of last year ***** show. RK needs his world class leadership skills to light a fire under their ass during intermission.

That shot on it's own is worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Ovie and Stamkos..... or at least Marty thought so on the post game yesterday.

80 to go, but damn...how about these Sabres?

It's highly unlikely that the Bills win this week, but let's not pretend that the Pats* have been put to the test at all this year either. The Bills, warts and all, will be by far their toughest opponent so far this season.

I've had a meatless day.
Insert inky joke here (and yes, I said insert.)
My wife and I do three meals a week from Hello Fresh, and tonight was Beyond burgers. I gotta say, not only did I not hate them, I thought they were really good.
I'm conflicted.
I've had the beyond burgers too and yes they've done a decent job replicating the taste and texture of real meat. The problem is that they are at best marginally healthier than the real thing. The ethical and environmental benefits can be argued as real, health not so much.

Headstones at Artpark last night. Went with my son. We tailgated in the parking lot beforehand. That was a new and enjoyable experience, tailgating with my legal drinking age son for the first time. We hung out and had a few beers before the show.
It was an all Canadian band lineup. And very diverse in style. 2 of the members of Barenaked Ladies opened. Fun, funny set. Some social commentary. The played a mix of BNL stuff and some other stuff that I think was from outside the band. Steven Page has a hell of a sense of humor. Lowest of the Low brought a laid back reegae style. The Trews came out and put on a solid, high tempo set of their radio hits.
And then The Headstones came on and burned the place down. It was a thrash punk heavy set, not their usual greatest hits playlist. They put out an audio onslaught of their grittiest, thrashiest stuff. 75 minutes of mayhem.
Today I can't hear, I'm sleep deprived, and my back is killing me. Can't wait to do it again.
Just not today. Or this week.
Cheers. BNL, the Low and the Headstones were the soundtrack of my mid 20s. Such huge bands in Buffalo at the time.
Went down to the cemetery..looking for love...

For you youngsters Billy Smith has to be in the top 3 dirtiest players to ever play the game. Also, before there was a Linesman, Lemieux or Dale Hunter there was Tiger Williams, I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet.
The infamous Lindy Ruff incident was par for the course for Billy.... that dirty SOB.

How was this show? I don't know Isbell real well but I keep meaning to get aquainted. Misty is a little odd, but I like his stuff.
Awesome as usual. I've seen JI probably four or five times now and he often gets labeled as americana or country....this is not true of his live shows at all. Jason and the 400 Unit put on a good old fashioned rock n roll show.
I must admit that I was little disappointed that his wife Amanda who usually plays fiddle wasnt there for this one. She is quite easy on the eyes.

Jokiharju has exceeded expectations though. He was a late 1st, 29th overall I think. He made it to the NHL and played pretty well as a 19 year old defenseman. I don't see how that is disappointing.
I watched the draft video for Joki on YouTube yesterday. The commentary right after the Hawks made the pick was that he was a prospect that had moved up draft boards late. It seems like he has continued that trajectory throughout his development in Chicago thus far. Nylander not so much with us.
Can Chicago fix Nylander and can we F up Jokiharju? Let's plan on drafting a preliminary report circa January 2020.

We’re lucky, there aren’t very many trees since it’s a new neighborhood. The house across from us did lose their sidewalk tree though. I was out driving during that storm. It wasn’t fun. All the power was out by Walmart so that intersection was a nightmare. The combination of no traffic lights and zero visibility isn’t great.
Ugh that intersection is a nightmare in the best of conditions.

We're hosting my mom and my neighbor's mom for a 4th of July thing later today. My town does their fireworks practically across the street from my house on the 5th each year. Thanks to those particular guests, I may need to get fall down drunk.
I'm in Buffalo this week, but I heard that some pretty nasty storms rolled through our area yesterday. It looks like some of my neighbors had trees down and property damage. Did you come through it ok?

Meh. No matter what happens Aho will be skating for a team that I hate next year.

Whether you agreed with the tank or not, you shouldn't have been under the illusion that the winning or even watchable hockey would start immediately upon ending trying to finish DFL. Has the timeline for icing an at minimum competitive team been too long? Yes. Does TP ultimately have to answer for hiring people who botched the overall rebuild? Yes.
It's been said before, but honest tank supporters fully acknowledged that tanking as part of a rebuild could result in a downward spiral of losing that can prove difficult to pull out of..... and here we are.

Cozens hand injury looked kind of gruesome on the Twitter video I saw.

Lost a very close life long friend to cancer a week ago today. From diagnosis to being gone forever was exactly one month. It's still surreal and I'm going to miss the hell out of him.
Another friend of ours was able to attend the Sabres 70's night, get a throwback pennant signed by some of the old timers and sent it down to our buddy in Florida before he passed. He said that Tony McKegney took a good long time talking to him and wished our friend the best. Tony mentioned that his family has been hit particularly hard by cancer.
