Doohickie

The Sabres forecheck and backcheck are both excellent so far tonight. He's like Briere on steroids. And he's only 18.

He's a point machine. He got one on the Wash goal too. All scoring goes through VO.

You're thinking Gordie Howe Hattie?

Wilson needs to be suspended for that. Seriously he targeted.

Ack. Perfect deflection just inside the post.

...and here we are.

The Caps are trying to outpace the Sabres.... They're not gonna have a good time.

Well yeah.... like I said:

As soon as I saw JJ with all that room in front of him I knew it was going in. His shot is that good.

They had a couple of good chances with Girgs out there with Tuch and Skinner. Girgs doesn't have the finish, but maybe if you put him with finishers his jam could create opportunities. Either that or Skinny and Tuchy are gonna get good chances regardless of who else is out there. ......so?

Then DON'T ****ing repeat them. I tend to trust the eye witness.

Agree. I think it's part of the reason for lack of flow on offense: When you constantly have different linemates it's hard to develop timing. I think Granato needs to start focusing on Win Now.

I can think of several adjectives one might appropriately use in describing Connor McDavid. Poor isn't one of them.

Menacing Wait.

If he says it that way, why are broadcasters affecting Swedish accents?

Where did the "Ro ZAY un" pronunciation come from? He said it "RO zun" in the video.

I think Benson has made his case, and it's pretty solid. He's at 8 games played in the NHL so the Caps game will either be his last game before he goes back or.... not. I won't be surprised if they send him back to Wenatchee but neither will I be surprised if he stays up. If he scores Wednesday it will make the decision to send him down that much harder.

My son got a new job! He's been working at a local Spanish language television station as a programming tech, basically keeping them on the air. It was a part time job that he had while he taking classes in video/broadcast production. One of his co-workers recently took a job at the local CW network station, and now a few months later he contacted my son and told him they had another opening. He interviewed for the job today and they gave it to him on the spot. He starts at the new place in a few weeks. This is a full time job with benefits and a much higher hourly rate. Woohoo!

Don't get me wrong: Last year Girgs and especially Okie had more to contribute, but whoever plays on Okie's line is not gonna have a good time.

Yeah most of his minutes are with Hands-Of-Stone Girgensons and Ol' Rockin' Chair Okposo.

....which was before the last few seconds of the game.... I'm typing slow so you can keep up.... 😛 It was just a miss... not really worth all the posts we've exchanged on this....
