Doohickie

I went to Maryvale and one of the bigger Catholic schools in the district was Our Lady Help of Christians, aka Chapel. There were a whole bunch of kids that dumped into Maryvale after 6th grade and again after 8th, a lot of whom went to Chapel for their elementary years. Yes, they knew how to party. I'm convinced that two types of people sent their kids to Catholic school: Devout Catholics, and people who thought sending their delinquent children to Catholic school would straighten them out. The end result was that the delinquents got all the kids of devout Catholics smoking and drinking by age 12, and that in high school, the Catholic school kids were the ones always getting caught with cigs or drugs or whatever. Strictly anecdotal, but that's the way it seemed. ...with the precision of a surgeon.

People who still use Reddit I guess?

JJP never met a shot he didn't like. ❤️

This team is worse than chemo.

Yes.

Dammit Dahlin, why you so deep?

We need to win with the team that's on the ice.

Oh that's harsh.

I'm not liking this start.

Welp.

On one particular save against the Rags, I noticed he butterflied out in anticipation of a shot, and the shooter tried for high corner. UPL stretched his frame up to the shot and deflected the puck with his shoulder. A lot of the times the oversized goalies just sit there in the butterfly and assume the hole is too small to hit. I liked that he actively blocked it and I don't think he was doing stuff like that previous to this season.

In medical expenses, "out of pocket" literally means the portion of a bill that is not covered by insurance and there someone has to pay it themselves..."out of their own pocket."

If nothing else, Clifton was a good depth signing. I don't think he envisioned the Sabres having this many good NHL D players. He thought he might be Top Four but Muel is the incumbent, Joki is becoming Teppo Numminen and having his best season as a Sabre, and Ryan Johnson came out of nowhere. I don't think Clifton is better than any of those guys to be honest. It's just so weird to have 7 legit NHLers on D. It's been ages since the Sabres have had that.

I suspect this is true. But don't they do that in college?

It's not all that uncommon for teams to shuttle between goalies until they figure out who gives them their best shot to win. Some teams are goalie carousels. While I think this situation is a bit atypical in that they don't have a proven veteran, sometimes the proven veterans lose out to the younger guy anyway. As long as the goaltending settles in I don't care how we got there.

The NHL asked him to do it off to the side for some undisclosed reason.

I think he figured he *might* be. He was 5-2 last season. If he picked up where he left off (of course the team didn't in general, but that's another story), he might have stuck. But just like every other prospect that gets a cup of coffee in the NHL, the stint in Buffalo this season told him he's not quite ready and likely provided a list of things he needs to work on in Rochester. For a Super Sabres Fan, you sure don't like the team much, do you?

I’m not sure you have to worry about your wife cheating with an uglier dude.

Lee Harvey Oswald would like a word...

Oh Well was when I discovered there was a whole other Fleetwood Mac I didn't know existed before the McVie and Nicks era. Oddly enough, whenever heard Parts 1 and 2 together, I didn't realize for a long time that they were parts of the same song.
