That kid has had a week.

My heart goes out to our Olympic athletes right now — as they attempt to navigate an extremely difficult time to be an American on the world stage. Trump is the worst of America. These elite athletes are the best. We can stand with them and against him at the same time. 🇺🇸

Years ago, I was riding in my friend's car (a well-known drummer). Ohio Players’ song "Fire" cranked on the stereo. Just as it was coming out of a drum fill, we got t-boned, hard, on my side. Glass everywhere. First thing he said, "Are you okay?" (I was okay). Then he said, "They hit us on the 1."

The Tampa Bay Lightning are 19-1-1 with an 88-49 goal differential in their last 21 games heading into the break

That’s fair. They weren’t good tonight.

Here’s a stat for the Sabres gang: Alex Lyon is 33 years old, in his 9th year in the League- all of it in the Eastern Conference, and has never faced the Penguins.

Latvia's Alberts Smits is the youngest men's hockey player at the Olympics. He's also the only NHL draft-eligible player here. All about Smits and a handful other players to watch on underdog teams in Milan: apnews.com/article/mila...

🧵 -If you’re not in a band, don’t get too caught up in chart position. Like everything else, “they’ve” figured out ways to game it.

With a W tonight, the Sabres would go into the break part of a three-way tie with Montreal & Detroit for 2nd-most points in the Atlantic Division, all four points back of Division-leading Tampa Bay, and three points up on 5th-place Boston. Who wanted “meaningful games” late in the season?

Me (OTD, 2018): Cato the Elder: "I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue, than why I have one." If they'd HAD mics in 2nd Century BC Rome, Cato the Elder would've just dropped that bitch.

Canadiens won, Red Wings & Bruins lost.

Tech Bro takes wallet out of back pocket, puts it in jacket pocket, yells “I’m rich! Rich-ER!” There’s no new money, again. They’re just passing the same check around the circle, trying to convince people they’re “investing” in each other.

NHL rosters are now frozen.

The Cato Institute? The Cato Institute. Our deficit would be ~1/3rd bigger thsn it already is without immigrants’ contributions ow.ly/iLws50Y8las

FWIW (maybe nothing at all): Since the start of the heater, the Sabres are 21-4-2. 12-2 with Norris in the lineup 9-2-2 without him. bsky.app/profile/bria...

Povich wept. The paper of Kornheiser and Feinstein and Boswell and Jenkins and Svrluga and Culpepper is eliminating the section because it wasn’t deemed as worthy an expense as a bribe documentary.

Waiting for the scratches for Sabres @ Lightning at 7:30. Benson “not TOO bad, we’ll see” about tonight, Norris probably not tonight, maybe Thursday. Helenius is an option, but Greenway was in Buffalo last I knew. Likely Ellis in goal. Vasilevskiy played Sunday for Tampa Bay.

That’s a damned shame. Given he would’ve started out behind Saros & Lankinen; and how their seasons have gone; there was a fair enough chance he’d have gotten games.

They didn’t go to college to play school: 40% of NFL players don't think Bad Bunny should be playing because they think the performer should be American.

True or false: Michael Phelps thinks swimming naked would make him go faster A. False. He thinks it’d make it easier to steer.

Wait, what year is it again?

I looked. 2nd-most ice time of Krebs’ career. He went over 21 minutes in a game against Vancouver in January, 2025.

Last we checked in on the Sabres, they were coughing up a lead coming out for the 3rd period on home ice for the 1st time all year on Saturday night. They’ve since been shuffled down to 5th in the Atlantic, 7th in the East, and are now in the targeted 2nd Wild-card spot in the East.

The OT GWG is a relatively new phenomena. 10 of the top 12 guys are still active in the NHL.

Price gouging when you have a monopoly is as American as Baseball, Football, & Basketball. And 25/32 of Hockey. youtu.be/w7LPPTLDXu4?...

Since Sabres fan last saw Rosen around Thanksgiving, he’s played 20 games in Rochester, knocked in 15 goals, 11 at even-strength.

SMH at the narrative after last night’s Sabres loss to Montreal. For the 1st time all year, the Sabres lost at home in a game where they took a lead into the 3rd period.

TIL: Johnny Cash was the first American to find out Stalin died. Yes, THAT Johnny Cash, and THAT Stalin.

I hate when that happens.

#NHL GameScore Impact Card for Buffalo Sabres on 2026-01-31 #LetsGoBuffalo #Sabres

The Canadiens go into the third down 2-1, and are frankly fortunate to be only down one goal. That period was all Sabres.

Canadiens @ Sabres Lyon vs Dobes. Luukkonen, Greenway, & Jones the scratches.

Billion-dollar industry. No snow tires?

Feels like teams have been trying to get to front position to try to hire Leonhard for a couple years now (even when he was coaching in college). Your favorite tape head’s favorite up-and-coming defensive coach.

The finishing kick before the Olympic break. Four games-in-six days, then 2-1/2 weeks off to (hopefully) get healthy for the stretch run.

Amerks beat Hershey last night 3-1. Rosen fit one in a mail slot for his 20th in 28 games for Rochester. Wahlberg had an ENG + an assist. Levi stopped 22/23.

Per Albany Medical College, rats prefer quiet. Unless they’re on cocaine. Then, they prefer jazz to classical. Do with that what you will. www.timesunion.com/local/articl...

My go-to for this category. It pisses off the Baby Boomers ROYALLY. youtu.be/JkafDInbUXM?...

Because of that bounce last night, Detroit sucked out a loser point, and the Sabres are three points back of them instead of two. youtube.com/shorts/j9YNJ...
