My pet peeve is - pet peeve threads. Every three years these threads show up at my front door like an unwelcome in-law. Then they disappear before making any positive contribution. And when you try to track them down - like I did a month ago using search when I had an awesome pet peeve that I have since forgotten - they're nowhere to be found. My other pet peeves are the search function on this site and my failing memory.

Two ducks showed up a week or two ago. They liked the swampy mess of my pool cover. Best part was watching them climb on top of the pillow like it was their private island. After spending two full days as our guests they'd over stayed their welcome and it was time to drain the swamp. Good times.

I thought the intent was to stop the game-sealing goal. I don't know anything about Scheifele - does he have a rep as a dirty player?

I guess where I was coming from is I didn't consider it a deliberate attempt to injure.

Brutal hit for sure. But I don't see a problem with it.

Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light Or just another lost angel, city of night

As a Bills/Islanders fan I'm happy to see the Sabres get the first pick and the Rangers get the 15th.

Leper joke, lol. That makes it twice in one week for me - just the other day I dusted off this one for my sons: Why couldn't the lepers finish their hockey game? There was a face off in the corner.

I have no particular love or hate for the Leafs but this is pretty funny:

Well now, they call me the breeze I keep blowin' down the road

You make that sound like a bad thing. Worst play is entirely subjective but 'just let them have it' is worth mentioning.

Good call.

Eddie Robinson getting faked out by Chad Pennington is worth an honorable mention. I had a bird's eye view of this one as well as OP's' Losman fumble.

Change, nothin' stays the same Unchained, and ya hit the ground runnin'

Jeez the injuries keep coming. Last night we were watching a Mets 2019 season recap and as they were showing Thor the announcers were saying that he was trade bait. Who knew at the time that cutting ties with Thor and going all in on Wheeler would be the smart play.

Maybe it's just jealousy Mixed up with a violent mind A circumstance that doesn't make much sense Or maybe I'm just dumb

Tell Sanchito that if he knows what is good for him he best go run and hide, Daddy's got a new .45, And I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down sancho's throat, Believe me when I say that I got somethin' for his punk @ss.

Did you ever hear the story That happened not long ago 'Bout the man with a tan: El diablo de Mexico?

Well i want my chrissy, 'n i want my beer So you just barf it back up now, devil, Do you hear?

Apologies for dropping in to the Sabres thread with a non-Sabres question. I'm an Islanders fan. My teenage son asked me who the Bruins would rather face next: us or the Pens. How would you answer that?

For how long?

Congrats on 45!

Agreed. Fairburn took the lazy way out of an interesting question. The Mahomes/Allen debate is fun, but unless you think Allen maxed out this year it's a poor choice for a positional swap out IMO.

I didn't see any of the game yesterday but that sounds dumb. Maybe it was just the 'third time through the lineup' mentality - which I suppose the numbers back up but is too cut and dried for my taste. I was watching a game recently and Gary made the point that these days a good manager is all about communication - communicating with the players, press and upper management. His point was that management/analytics is dictating lineups, defensive positioning and bullpen management and all that has been taken out of the managers hands. That was an eye opener for me.
