@Schopptalk ... that sends a grown man or woman to dancing and shouting with joy in the middle of the night over the haphazardous flight of a distant ball -- seems a small price to pay for such a gift." --Roger Angell

[Geoff Nason @GeoffNason_]

@Schopptalk ... out of our lives. And so it seems possible that we have come to a time when it no longer matters so much what the caring is about, how frail or foolish is the object of that concern, as long as the feeling itself can be saved. Naivete -- the infantile and ignoble joy ...

Dave Jackson just said what?

[Geoff Nason @GeoffNason_]

At some point, you need to say screw the long change and go to the bench without a stick.

[Geoff Nason @GeoffNason_]

@Schopptalk So 13 goals, 6 assists in three series (all series wins by MTL and NJD). A point a game. For good measure, a game-best 9 SOG vs. Hasek in the epic 4 OT Game Six at The Aud.

@PeteGuelli Any chance the Sabres will offer a commemorative ticket purchase option, like the Bills do via Direct Souvenir after games, to have as a keepsake for kids going to their first playoff game?

[Geoff Nason @GeoffNason_]

@tangotiger The 1990-91 dispersal and expansion draft story is pretty crazy, too, as you alluded to.

[Geoff Nason @GeoffNason_]

@Bulldogwgr Luci gets into too much mischief to even contemplate that.

@Schopptalk @Bulldogwgr Full circle here: Our dog, Lucinda (named after the singer/songwriter, not Robert Crawley's ex), cannot go unleashed in our own fenced-in yard, let alone Delaware Park.

[Geoff Nason @GeoffNason_]

@Schopptalk @Bulldogwgr Different Lucinda Williams.

[Geoff Nason @GeoffNason_]

@Schopptalk @Bulldogwgr Frank Thomas.

[Geoff Nason @GeoffNason_]

@Schopptalk @Bulldogwgr Only player in history with 7 straight seasons of .300+ avg., and 100+ in each Rs, RBIs and BBs?

[Geoff Nason @GeoffNason_]

@Schopptalk @Bulldogwgr Playing careers had crossover. Same position as where Pujols mostly played. A HOFer, obviously, but probably criminally underrated.

[Geoff Nason @GeoffNason_]

@jabo_vancouver Linden, not Shanahan. And looking at the box score, no stretches of three goals in quick succession.

[Geoff Nason @GeoffNason_]

@jabo_vancouver I seem to remember a sequence in which the game got out of hand included a frustrated Keenan refusing to take a line off the ice (possibly including Shanahan) and I think the Sabres scored three goals in a 2-minute stretch or so to break it open.

This reminds me… I wish the outdoor rink in Hamburg, NY still existed.

Union-Pleasant had a huge outdoor space that was flooded every year. It existed from 1913-2013 and just stopped.

It had lights, it was huge and the community loved it. Super fun and free winter tradition that just kind of ended…
