Fuck Scott Gomez

Well, after an initial false start, Comcast has finally installed cable at my house. This should mean more frequent updates, I hope.

Connolly's still rolling with the punches. I continue to cringe every time he heads into the boards, but so far he's been hanging in there.

As for the Sabres, I'm not sure what to expect from Darcy at the trade deadline. I guess we'll find out soon enough. Everyone's favorite Russian underachiever is an obvious candidate for a trade, but it seems like we were saying the same thing last year. I can see Spacek getting dealt, maybe.

On a side note, I really hope one of the following happens: (1) Miller experiences a miraculous recovery, (2) Lalime gets his shit together, or (3) Marty Turco becomes available and agrees to work for food.

Jon - 4 (1/15 @ DAL)
Brian - 15 (2/11 OTT)
Brandon - 18 (2/17 @ TOR)
Brett - 35 (3/28 @ MTL)
Jake - 43 (after 4/11 BOS)
Tony - 43 (after 4/11 BOS)

It's Valentimes!

Well, it has been a month and Tiny Tim is still going strong. Our defensive corps has been nicked and scraped plenty and Thomas Vanek took an airborne puck to the jaw, but Connolly is still trucking along and contributing in dividends (8 goals in 8 games at one point). The one-two punch of the losses against Ottawa are certainly cause for concern, but I think Lindy will kick some asses in practice over the next few days and we'll see the boys wise up. Tonight's game versus the Western Conference-leading Sharks doesn't have me especially scared; SJ has dropped games recently against the likes of Pittsburgh, Columbus, and Carolina. Plus, Andrej Sekera might come back. Instant win.

Both Jon and Brian's picks have come and gone, while Brett and Brandon have joined in on the pool.
