Doohickie

Other responses in the tweet: deeply concerned about Lex Luther’s whereabouts a cross between Ryan Miller and Peca works at the Daily Planet, has a crush on Lois Lane, and looks like a completely different person when he takes his glasses off a cool youth pastor writer for The Economist Illegitimate son of Mike Peca??? Who do you say Owen Power really is?

Worst ever. The Buffaslug was an improvement. (That's how bad it was.)

Y'know.... his flow

Go get 'em, Owen!

You ain't wrong.

This will blow people's minds: What if Portillo finishes his degree whatever it is, then decides to play with his buddy Owen and his other buddy Rasmus, as a free agent? (Just because he gets to free agency doesn't mean he's going to bolt.) Owen and Rasmus don't seem overly concerned. Maybe we shouldn't be either. Maybe we should talk a lesson from these younger guys and don't worry so much.

A Conditional Curse. I haven't seen one of those in a while. Nice.

Outstanding.

But can he take a faceoff? What about his flow?

Yeah, that's probably about it. I was going to say 17 minutes.

What makes you think Krebs would be an upgrade at center over Mitts? They're all on the development conveyor belt and Mittsy is closer to the end than Krebs.

A Satan jersey is the only one I might remotely consider in that style.

Not exactly something I would celebrate.

Not exactly something I would celebrate.

What can you do though? It's the way things work. I do expect KA to pick a goalie in the upcoming draft, hopefully one that's not a college guy.

Yep, that's my concern too. I expect Joki and Power to be a pairing tomorrow but I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of that is something Donny is working toward versus what he's doing right now. (i.e., let's see what the pregame skate pairings look like)

I want to like it but it makes me nervous. I hope I'm wrong. Maybe it will bring out the big guy in Fitz. Sorry, I meant on his off side... the right. I'm dextrist.

If Dahlin does okay in the left right side, that could be a very strong first pairing.

I like the Joki pairing actually. At least give it a look. Not sure Butcher-Fitz is a strong enough pairing. I think they're both complementary Dmen, neither is a pair leader. I think.

So you're saying he'll be the perfect goalie for the Sabres?

Would Asplund in for Eakin be an upgrade?

He just meant he doesn't dip in blue cheese or ranch. Don't read too much into it. Now if he'd said ranch.....

Thanks for taking the hit for the rest of us. We are thankful for your service.

Any noteworthy excerpts to tantalize us with?

That's not in Buffalo. That was the pre-game skate in Tampa.
