Playing teams better than Ottawa.

Well they're doing that right now....

Don't get carried away now.

And don't forget Rich Strike!

You can't win the Stanley Cup in October, but you can lose it.

So I went up to Buffalo this past weekend to visit my mom. I got a good old fashioned Buffalo fish fry at Jades Restaurant, an old school tavern, on Broadway in Depew. Man it was delicious. I'm the guy a little closer to the camera on the left and then there's my mom, 89, and her partner, 94 (and still drives very well).

Staph infections can be nasty. Jay McKee wanted to play in the finals vs. Carolina but if they hadn't gotten treatment for the infection he had, they told him he could have lost his leg.

Me? I'll be in the air returning to Fort Worth after spending the weekend with my mom in West Seneca. I haven't seen any regular season games yet but apparently that's a mercy.

School/bank holiday (Colmbus/Indigenous People's Day) so they're trying to get the kids out. They do this every season.

Well I won't be posting goal memes for the first three games as I will actually be in Buffalo (West Seneca) visiting my mom. I won't be able to take in a game in person since I arrive Thursday evening and leave Monday morning.

I'm not really doing goal memes yet but I like this one so....

Something something fax machine.

Prison tats. You didn't hear what he did this summer? PIttsburgh feed is awful. It's their radio feed I believe and not fit for TV broadcast.

Okay, you're wrong. Q.E.D. But seriously, this is the time to try to prove you wrong; it's still preseason.

Not sure if it will be blacked out in Buffalo, but the game will be on NHL Network.

That's not Rams or Goats or anything like that; it's actually Goat Heads. If you live in the south/southwest, you know what goatheads are. They are basically seeds from some kind of ubiquitous wild plant that are great at sticking to you, giving your bike flat tires, and poking you whenever you touch them or try to pull them off. The logo script very much suggests the spines on goathead seeds.

We'll start saying "The Jacob Bryson of..."

From upthread,

My first "social media" exposure was detroit.freenet.org in the mid 1990s. Because it was still a local forum, we had meet ups once in a while.
