I enjoyed this because there's no D.

Yeah, and who built the first stage engine that exploded?

Ever since the connection was made that Weller 12 ($25-30/bottle) tastes (somewhat) like Pappy Van Winkle, it's been impossible to find out here.

Jere Lehtonen knows.

Wasn't me.

And a vintage dark blue Sabres tie that my Dad handed down to me from when he used to moonlight as a Sabres cameraman for , yes. I came right from work.

We used to be on the tron all the time in Madison at Badger hockey games, and we used to do all sorts of stupid stuff on screen, so I'm well practiced, but i think that's the first time I've ever been on in the big leagues. "I guess I'm gonna have to get in the best shape of my life..."

Fair. Keep in mind though that this envy centers around the Kings fanbase "not being concerned with the draft because they're on top" as opposed to "being typically Los Angeles, hugely bandwagony right now, and not engrained in a strong hockey culture." Also, just watched the broadcast. The Kings broadcasters do a shot of the Sabres bench during a stoppage in play as you hear the crowd booing me/cheering the Kings fan on the jumbotron. Big grins wash over the players when the crowd boos (and presumably I'm on the 'tron). So I got that going for me. Which is nice.

That statement only holds water for the time since 2011. With the exception of the '92 Finals appearance with Gretzky, the LA Kings have a a long, rich history of sucking dick, much longer and richer than the Buffalo Sabres.

Something something the Cellino and Barnes jingle singer is a slut.

Yes, lots.

Was at the game at Staples last night. Good times. Kings' jumbotron does a bit where they show a Kings fan then a opposing fan and repeat, so the crowd cheers then boos then cheers then boos. Because I was close to the camera, and maybe because I have a beard, I was chosen to be the face of evil. I ended up on the jumbotron all night long. A bunch of my hockey playing buddies have Kings season tickets but weren't sitting near me or maybe even knew I was going to the game, so as soon as they saw me, my phone blew up. Even a friend from high school that lives out here, whom I hadn't talked to in years and years, chatted me up on facebook because she saw me on the jumbotron. In the third period, the Kings' mascot (Bailey the Lion) decided to come on down and ###### with me, so pretended I was going to fight him- he pulled away a high five, so my buddy "held me back." The kids (about 10 and 13) sitting behind me thought it was hilarious. Kings fans were overwhelmingly respectful. Got a lot of handshakes and high fives for being "jumbotron guy" and a good sport. Only one or two had few enough brain cells to yell out "Sabres suck" near me, but when I retorted that we're one game closer to Connor McDavid, they quickly developed a cow stare, as they didn't know anything about anything. Pretty damn good percentage of friendlies for being in "enemy" territory. Post-gamed at the nearest Irish bar (within two blocks of Staples), walked in, and it was empty except for about a dozen Sabres fans. So we knocked back a few and had some good laughs.

Lots of press lauding the classiness of the Penguins' singing of the Canadian national anthem before their game. No report I've seen mentions that Buffalo always does this or the moment of silence in Buffalo at the OHL game. Not a big deal, but sometimes it feels like we're in our own little world.

Chose to go to tomorrow nights game instead of tonight's game (couldn't swing both). Ducks 5th in G/GP, LA is 23rd. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

Pizzalogs and Drafts.

Really depends on when we're talking about. Two years from now, when we're just commencing the real competition, just starting to bring in UFAs, and probably still developing some kids from the next draft, looks awfully different from five-six years from now, when we're fully built and crushing the Eastern Conference. The more immediate core has guys like Gionta, Moulson, Foligno, and possibly Kaleta, wherein later on, if they're still around, may be fringe. Truly long-term core guys you build a team with/around: Girgensens. Very good core-complimentary pieces: Myers. Edge between fringe and core: Gorges (with upside), Ennis, Hodgson, and maybe Deslauriers.

Way to be. Probably the most dominant player at their position in franchise history.

According to this ###### right here, they do, yes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycy-e4EdWfE

Well Chuck E Cheese serves beer (I read online), so there's that.

Haha, the stink of pizzalog, bile, and shame.

This has no relevance to Buffalo history, but I'd celebrate to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33teK7L4DM4

Well, I wasn't talking about me.
