Doohickie

Well since we're having Snowmageddon in north Texas today and I'm not going anywhere, might as well watch, I guess.

Like, wow.

Terry is definitely not the right decider. I'm agnostic on Kevyn. I'm not sure he's the one. I think his tenure has been a mixed bag: Some good, some bad. I'm not sure all the bad can be blamed on him. How did Tage go from 47 goals in a season to meh? Is that on Kevyn? I mean, you know, stuff like that.

True, but at least he's got a nominal "hockey guy" in the room. Jones thinks he's an actual "football guy." And I'm not sure how much of Kevyn's tenure is Pegula's meddling versus Kevyn's "plan" and sticking to it.

To carry the football analogy further.... Terry Pegula : Buffalo Sabres :: Jerry Jones : Dallas Cowboys. Neither team will get anywhere under current ownership (although I think the Sabres have at least a chance because Terry isn't actually the GM).

fer sure?

Good. I like the dude. And unlike other prospects, he's had a couple of seasons in the A for development.

fify

The Sabres are one 13-game losing streak out of a playoff spot. That's all.

I would say Zucker is the right kind of player for that. We don't have enough Zuckers.

One Fractured Buffalo.

Thursday will be our severe weather day here in north Texas. Forecasts have called for anywhere from 3" to 8" of snow, possibly with freezing rain to start. How much rain, ice and snow we will get keeps fluctuating with each model run. Currently Weather.com says during the first part of the day it will only be below freezing from 7-9 am Thursday, but during that time we will get freezing rain. It's supposed to then change over to snow but the temps will be above freezing. Then later in the evening, back down to 26. Sounds pretty miserable. My hope is that by Friday afternoon it all melts.

@Spoonman laughed at this statement, but say for the sake of argument that instead of 0-10-3 over that stretch, they went 5-5-3. They'd have 10 more points and be tied with the Bruins for the final divisional spot and ahead of both WC teams.

The Sabres are basically one 13-game losing streak out of the playoffs.

They are what their record sez they are. Amazingly, they are only 3-1/2 games out of a wildcard spot. The whole bottom of the Eastern Conference is pretty meh.

NHL Network For the most part, the Caps were softer than us, in terms of gaps. Sabres actually had room to maneuver.

Huh. Win.

I thought for sure the Caps were gonna score a crappy one in OT.

Can you feel it coming again?

You felt it coming, didn't you?

I called it. Kinda.

We've seen that repeatedly this season.
