Doohickie

Ass.

Miller was at the game with TPegs the other night. Just sayin'.

I a big fan of Their third jerseys The cannon they shoot off Watching them get soundly beaten

I think about the current situation with Kozak versus Östlund. Kozak has put in his time and I think he is NHL or at least tweener material, and more time in the A isn't going to improve him too much more. But he tops out as a 4C, at very best a 3C (doubtful). Östlund has developed all season and was promoted because he earned it when Kozak went down. In the depth chart down the road, Östlund almost certainly tops out over Kozak. But at the beginning of the season, Kozak slotted higher than Östlund (which is why he was called up first). In terms of internal competition, I would say Östlund is ahead of Kozak with a very small sample size, but I also think Östlund may benefit from a little more time in the AHL. It's an interesting case study.

Going forward how far? Three years? Sure. Six years? I would hope so, but..... he's probably heading into steady decline, but maybe not. Who knows which players will age well and which won't?

He was virtually unnoticeable to me at first, but in the game against the Canes I saw a lot of good defensive work, and a couple of close calls in terms of scoring. With any improvement in wingers he'll score bunches. He also doesn't have Reinhart Syndrome, as in doesn't get knocked off his feet much. Reino was awful about that early on; Östlund seems to be able to take a hit without crumbling.

The Little Rat. It sez so right in the tweet.

As a 62-year-old myself, that seems way too young. 😞

You win, hands down.

I watched the highlights..... crazy.

Last night was actually a pretty good effort by the Sabres against a top team. Yes, Reimer makes a difference but in this last run they've been playing better. One thing that stood out to me is it seems like the team is much more conscious of the blue line when entering the zone; notably few "careless" off sides calls. The attention to detail seems to be different from earlier in the season. If I thought that would carry over to October I'd be happy but we've read this book before and we know how it goes.

And the check is in the mail. And I won't **** ** **** *****. Lies. All of them.

We used to listen to it in on the radio in the kitchen at my first job in an Italian restaurant. When it would come on, we'd continue to work but we'd jam out to it. And the live version I posted is simply ridiculous. He can barely walk in those "shoes."

Wasn't there a fourth piece? Another draft pick? Wasn't that used in the trade to acquire Greenway?

I didn't mind Tasker's commentary and he and Rayzor played well off each other for the most part.

Fools (Blue and) Gold

Great song but White Punks On Dope is superior. I will die on this hill.

Digging deep for tonight's victory tune

Nice coverage by the Sabres in front of their net.

I just meant this game.

I hated losing Mitts but yeah, he's grown on me. He stats are supposedly poor but by my eye he's a keeper.

Krebs needs a quicker release. So why don't they call Slavin for batting it out?????

He made Burns look silly too.
