Me, watching the Buffalo Sabres this season

holy shit

Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.

UPL getting a win here is hilarious

Okay, sorry Sabres fans, but now I need a Lightning goal

This game is drunk

Bench: -7.3 U. Luukkonen

I accidentally left UPL on my bench, and HO BOY I dodged a bullet there

God damn what the hell is happening in this Sabres vs Lightning game

Jesus Christ

Daylight Savings jump scare

Watched Mad Max: Fury Road again last night (5/5, no comments). But I'm somehow now just learning that George Miller has not only directed all of the Mad Max movies, he's also directed Happy Feet 1, 2, and Babe Pig in the City. And that's essentially his filmography.

Realizing Darcy Kuemper is 35 years old makes *me* feel extremely old

Part of Your World is close to my favorite Disney song of all time. It's so god damn good!

I absolutely loved the music as a kid. Honestly, I think that was one of the main reasons I liked it as a kid

I’ll take that as a damn compliment thank you very much

"We think. We read. We are not peasants. We are mechanics. But even the peasants know better than to believe in a war. Everybody hates this war." "There is a class that controls a country that is stupid and does not realize anything and never can. That is why we have this war." "Also they make money out of it." "Most of them don't," said Passini. "They are too stupid. They do it for nothing. For stupidity."

I started reading Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms” a few days ago. This passage made me put the book down for a few seconds…

I'm an idiot lmao - 214/197/200. Some of you did the math in your head, realized the numbers I typed did not add up to 611, and thought less of me.

John Carlson was 3rd on the Evolving-Hockey Trade Deadline Big Board, but everyone was saying Washington would never trade him (so we didn't write about him). Looks like they were wrong!

I never thought I'd ever say this about the 25-26 Anaheim Ducks: they're going for it. Honestly, I weirdly kind of love to see it?

I bowled the best series I’ve ever had in league tonight - posted a 611 series (211/197/200). I’ve had multiple 600 series before, but never had one in this league (on week 24 I think). I also slept like shit last night and felt horrible all day before… not sure what to do with that information.

The Buffalo Sabres are currently on pace to finish with 7 more points than we projected before the season started. Most people in October said we were, and I quote, “fucking insane”, but now I’m thinking maybe we were too low.

The Sabres are the best team that’s ever existed?

(I rarely use Instagram, but bowlers are only on YouTube, Instagram and this was a funny video from actual PBA competition... which is crazy looking)

Career xGAR chart for MacKenzie Weegar from Evolving Hockey. Chart shows constant growth towards the top of the skater population for his career, and then a major drop this season (although his rates suggest a slightly longer, more steady drop since '23-24).

RAPM chart for '25-26 MacKenzie Weegar from Evolving Hockey. xGF/60, CF/60 at EV are positive, xGF/60 and CF/60 on the powerplay are quite positive, other four metrics are negative.

Re: the Weegar trade from a little earlier, I'm more confused by what is going on with him this year than what happened in the trade. That was one of *our* guys right there. What did the Flames do to him?

Also, what a weird RAPM chart from this season. Just strange all around.

I knew we weren’t out to lunch on Blankenburg, even if I really didn’t know who he was before like a week ago

Our mom’s dad Ernie designed electric substations (he sadly passed away before we were born)

After he passed away our grandma remarried Merrill who spent years traveling out west repairing bank safes/vaults. He had some funny stories

Dallas traded for Tyler Myers?? Lol

ICYMI our trade deadline article is up on the site! Check it out

When did politics bring WAR models into all of this? How am I just now hearing about this...
