Well...

Preseason schedule is out.

2017-18 season schedules are coming out 3 o'clock this Thursday.

Did you here that Ott is now an Assistant Coach for the Blues?

I mentioned I was in the Queen City yesterday. Did I see a picture of Cellino of Cellino and Barnes on a Cellino Plumbing truck? Twin? Side gig?

I got into new wave/alt music in college during the 80’s. I also just finished reading former KROQ DJ and current XM First Wave DJ Richard Blade’s Autobiography and he was at the fore front of discovering and promoting bands like Berlin, Talk Talk, Depeche Mode and INXS.

I’m thinking the best 250-300 songs of that era (1977-1987). Bands can have more then one song on the list. Nominations? Should I do this in poll form?

EDIT: Please limit your suggestions to 4-5 songs at most per post. Читать дальше...

Two goals in leading the Sharks to victory

Here we are with another game against the “elite” Toronto Leafs. As usual, there is another article from the Toronto media how great Toronto’s turnaround has been, how they are an elite team and the Sabres are regressing. As usual they ignore that the Leafs have stunk for 50 years. No Conference Championships, no Cups, no President’s Trophies and only one division championship in 50 years. They also ignore how this rebuilt Toronto team has it’s own decade of true ineptitude. JVR was 2nd overall in 2007. Читать дальше...

I really envy you northerners. Here it is almost mid-December and it's 82° outside at 7:45PM. It has dropped below 70 for a total of two hours in the last 11 days. I don't care where you live, the AC shouldn't be running this close to Christmas at 3AM. In the last seven weeks we've had .3" of rain. 

I have to give him a D. The only thing that keeps it out of the F zone is Samson and Jack, though we only have them because we sucked so bad.

We are still dead last place.

His trades did not work out. Was he responsible for trading Brayden McNabb??

He hit on no second or third round surprises of note. Where is our Pasternak?

I think there is a thread for this already, but I could not find it.

A good friend and I watched *Tooth Fairy* last evening.

He got it for his kids to watch in 2010.  It was really good, surprisingly enough.  A hockey themed tooth fairy tale.  Two grown men with tears in their eyes at the happy ending.

So I've cancelled Directv. I'm done with it. I'm hesitant to go back to time Warner as all their hardware sucks. So I'm looking for alternative methods to get what I like to watch.

Let me preface this with, I barely ever watch network TV. My programming is essentially sports, AMC shows, HBO and Showtime series. So what's my best options?

I'll start:
