Mrs. nfreeman puts the wine glass on the bedside table and snuggles close to her husband, running her hands through chest hair that would raise Tom Selleck's bushy left eyebrow. nfreeman stares at the ceiling playfully, then breaks into a big smile. At that very moment, a red light flashes from across the room, accompanied by an old-timey ah-ooga, ah-ogga. "Sonofabitch," he mutters, immediately throwing off the silk sheet and climbing out of bed. As he hustles toward the phone, he looks down and considers approaching middle-age. Gravity is not his friend. His mood does not improve. After picking the earpiece off the antique phone stand, he cranks the handle and leans into the microphone (it's Brooklyn). "Yes?" The Mrs. curses loudly. "They wrote what?!" A wine glass is picked up abruptly and put back down in a huff, chardonnay instantly staining mahogany. "I'll log in right away, sir."

[DarthEbriate]

Errrrr.... win the third?

[Brawndo]

 

[DarthEbriate]

Ooof. I guess that's why they signed Dell. The team has a decade-long reputation of not defending the goalie, so they signed a vicious goalie.

Did not realize we had "Billy" Dell

Now... curious to see how the Sabres battle in the final period.

[GASabresIUFAN]

I’d like odds if any of our goalies not named Ukka play in the NHL next year.  1%, lower?

I am inspired by old film clips of Jackie clambering onto the back of the limo. She never quit!

I'm curious to see how the rest of PA's story plays out.

Not much energy....looks like they've packed it in for the night.

Started the 1st fast… then fizzled… Got too focused on checking and forgot about scoring… No salvaging this debacle…

[PASabreFan]

Fancy stat: Dylan Cozens just spoke the words "excuse me" for the first time in an NHL game since Rip Simonick had the egg farts on November 17, 1997.

[Nitro60]

If shooting into the stomach of the opposing goalie counted, the Sabres would lead the league.

I am bailing on this game.  Watching reruns of Family Guy instead.

[DarthEbriate]

Ennis with a healthy slash on Skinner. Looks like this PP and then dinner time. Almost time to teleport off this rock.

[Believer]

Whatever game plan Granato had got canceled by a more determined Senator team… 

[Pimlach]

Ennis slashed Skinner

Who wins in an Ennis v. Skinner brawl?  
 

I’ll go with Skinner.

I have the game on mute while reading the SabreSpace Family Squabbles thread that led to GoDD's lifetime ban and regretting eating three hot dogs with sauerkraut (probably been five years since I even had a hot dog, but I made the sauerkraut first and one thing led to another).

I wonder where my life went wrong.

The pitter-patter of the subtle rain on the Spanish roof has intensified to a drumming as the storm intensifies.  A rumble of thunder, nearly inaudible, in the distance raises his eyebrow ever so slightly.  He senses her unease from across the cold hardwood floor as she begins to nervously play with her hair.  The grimace on his face tells all.  He's been down this well-worn road before, he knows what he has to do.  

[GASabresIUFAN]

F-er bowled a 265 this time.

Considering its a battle of figure skaters......its hard to say who wins.....maybe they could have a dance off

He must have his own bowling ball and shoes (vs. rentals)
