What!?

Chud Temperance Now

Josh Norris is dealing with both illness and soreness. That's the reason he's not in the Sabres lineup tonight.

Luukkonen throughly entertained them in Calgary last night. youtube.com/shorts/Hqjrz...

Who doesn’t love a good origin story? #AHL90

Tough day. Sensational singer and performer. And; while I never met the man; we had a bunch of mutual friends who unanimously spoke highly of the man. RIP El Caballero Cubano. youtu.be/EiIzChCyB8s?...

Three of the four hottest teams in the NHL are in the same division. Washington has gone 8-1-1 in their last ten to accelerate to the front of the Metro Division. But poor Minnesota. They’re 7-2-1 in their last ten, have LOST ground to BOTH Colorado (8-1-1) and Dallas (8-0-2) in the Central.

I finished one book tonight; and am in bed, 30 pages into the next book. I just saw the Sabres final. I win again.

The correct alignment would be: Benson-Thompson-Tuch Rosen (or Ostlund)-Norris-Doan Zucker-McLeod-Quinn Greenway-Krebs-Malenstyn But what do I know?🤷🏼‍♂️ The 3rd goalie might be getting more from the popcorn in the press box than the team would get from another scoring threat on the ice.🤷🏼‍♂️

Team “I Can Fake Smart” couldn’t.

Interesting thought brought up here. With all of Mahomes, Lamar, & Burrow currently outside looking in; who do you want in January, 17, or one of Nix, Maye, Lawrence, Stroud, or Herbert? You don’t get to play the Titans or Raiders twice in January.

True superstars step up and do what's necessary in order to shine against their contemporaries. Next step is to do it in three or four consecutive games in the postseason.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Metsa has been pretty good for Rochester since being sent back down. And you NEVER go west for two weeks with only six defensemen. One guy wakes up with the flu and you’re screwed. Eight is preferable. It’s easier to go 11-7 if you’re short a forward than go into a game short in back.

I have a thought: Offer Ellis back to St. Louis for a prospect (Jecho, Kaskimaki, Pekarcik-all 3rd Rd. picks like Ellis), to relieve the three goalie thing, free up a roster spot for a 14th forward/8th defensemen, and enable St. Louis to just trade Binnington to Edmonton already.

With the benefit of hindsight, four pepperoncinis MIGHT have been ambitious for the size of pasta salad I made.

Someone in the replies called Newsom "California Cuomo", and you know, I think that is spot on.

The Bengals are 4-0 when taking the ball away 2+ times. They’re 0-8 with fewer than two takeaways. They haven’t been able to be anyone who didn’t beat themselves. Don’t beat yourselves. Don’t drop my goddamned football. Handle your business. (stat via &h/t @thadbrown7.bsky.social & BKL)

Bills' inactives for Week 14: Spencer Brown, Joshua Palmer, Terrel Bernard, Joey Bosa, Darnell Savage, Phidarian Mathis and Chase Lundt. Dalton Kincaid and Dion Dawkins are back. Morgan Fox and Baylon Spector elevated from practice squad.

We wake up on Sunday morning with 3rd place in the Atlantic Division and both wild card spots seven points ahead of your Buffalo Sabres, and holding one or two games in hand.

Me (OTD, 2020): “Is that a monolith on your Isle of Wight, or are you just happy to see me?”

TIL: Lions’ roars have regional accents. I bet a Scottish lion sounds a bit campy.

Rosen has 4-2-6 in four games since going back down. Helenius has points (3-6-9) in eight of his last nine.

“But the sum of the parts has been an inconsistent and mistake-prone hockey team.” There is nothing more to say that is either relevant, or true.

Yep, pretty chuffed with myself for having the sagacity to have my ass in bed by 8:30 without “consuming” any Sabres “content.” Stayed there until 8:00 this AM, too. After a full day of doctors appointments and furnace worries, I needed that.

Meh. The Sabres have a dozen guys who do that every night just to get out of back-checking.

Nope. Not doing it. Took my meds, listened to the new TGAF, gave Rosalita her pill & bedtime chewie, and listening to Rob Harvilla wax rhapsodic for Jeff Buckley. Then I’m going to bed. Self-respect brooks no tolerance for the Sabres after 7PM.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the European Commission’s fine was akin to an attack on the American people. Elon Musk later agreed with Rubio’s sentiment. https://to.pbs.org/3KLTwFn

Well, you could knock ME over with a feather.

Me (OTD, 2010): “Hmmm... Because of injuries, the Bills may have to line up a combination of Wang, Levitre and Wood on their line next week. They should fire their orthopedic surgeon and hire a urologist.”

Methinks the Cowboys got robbed on that OPI call. That was; at worst; a no call, and; at best; DPI.

lol yes when you tell Europe to rearm, this is what happens, you absolute muppets Can’t wait for the hand wringing that happens when they rediscover stupid nationalistic tendencies and get another arms race going followed by a fucking massive war Which was all preventable

After 27 games, they’re 11-12-4, with 26 points. 96 points is going to be the minimum to contend in the Eastern Conference. That means finding 70 points in the last 55 games (110 points available). THAT means playing .636 hockey the rest of the way. Something on the order of 35-20, 33-18-4…

It wasn’t always so crisp & glossy. And guys used to say what they really thought. youtu.be/_MwLCzTZQsI?...

Me (OTD, 2018): The Sabres keep flipping coins with these one-goal games. Ten in a row came up ‘heads,’ but 9/10 were one-goal, SEVEN of the ten went to OT, three to shootouts. They weren’t winning comfortably; 3-1, 4-1, 4-2, 5-2. Now the Law Of Averages has tossed four straight ‘tails.’

#NHL GameScore Impact Card for Buffalo Sabres on 2025-12-03 #LetsGoBuffalo #Sabres

This Buffalo team is just bad, man. No situational awareness, too little discipline. They've got talent, but they're just a mess out there.

Ellis starts, Lyon backs up in the town where he broke into the NHL, Luukkonen scratched. Kozak dinged up, Dunne in for Greenway.

So well said. Sadly.

When Weiland was good, he was REALLY FUCKING GOOD.

Joe Brady took arrows all last week. After #Bills win in Pittsburgh, it's nothing but flowers. Carl Jones and I explain why Plus, time for Shaq Thompson to start? Let's Talk Ball #Billsmafia spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/OuJIEmPOMYb

IN FAIRNESS this is the kindest possible reaction to Marco Rubio saying words

"Formal power and personal incompetence." I'd like to write as pointedly well as Tom Nichols. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Nine ‘As’ and nine ‘Bs.’ Not a lot to find fault with tonight.

Alvin & the Chipmunks take another hit.
