Doohickie

Barry Manilow wants it back.

The wind is really blowing so I pulled up the weather map. There's a tornado about 20 miles north of my son's place. That's far enough away that I'm not too worried, but man people just south of the Red River are having a bad time tonight. I'm at the blue dot, my son lives in Plano. Interesting that McKinney is in a bigger font than Plano since Plano has almost 3x the population. (Plano, TX, has more people than Buffalo, NY.)

It seemed to me that Dallas was playing a tight defense and was also dangerous on the counterstrike. Edmonton was desperate in their defense of those counterstrikes. I dunno, in baseball some people like homerun derbies and some like pitchers' duels. Different strokes.

Very intense though. You don't see two opposing players pass each other without contact.

I rather enjoyed the game. Both teams are playing excellent hockey.

Anyone else getting Barry Manilow vibes from Gretzky's longer hair do?

Yep. So, what's yer point?

Also turned into a great color analyst.

No wonder everyone grew up a drunk in Buffalo: Champagne for only $1.39???

If they sign Bryson I would hope they do it with less than the qualifying amount.

Because he's always hurt. We all know defense is a brutal position to play, and I think the 7/8 are pretty important. I can see upgrading (Roy in place of Joker sounds good), but I also like Bryson and Johnson being ready to step in when the injuries happen. I kind of hope we can keep them both. I don't think we've seen Johnson's upside yet, and Bryson proved in his late season stint that he's finally grown into the steady defenseman role.

....always something there to remind me... 😕

For a 1-1 game, there's a lot of action and excitement. That shot by Barkov went of the shaft of the goal stick before hitting the crossbar.

Bob made a pretty good save there.

I have to say... I kind of like Evan Rodrigues.

I tend to agree with you, but....

Playoff officiating.

Rangers are 23-1 with Rempe in the lineup. Now that's quite impressive. Kulikov making his physical presence felt for the Cats.

My thought exactly.

Lol. I slept from the first intermission to about 3 minutes left in the second period. I win! 😄 I want to see the Sabres play that style. All those young legs oughta be able to pull it off.

Tchachuk puts Florida up. 1-0

Isn't that just mayo with relish mixed in? Basically tartar sauce?

Get yer mind outta the gutter... ...even if I put it there.
