No Buffaslug? No problem.
Dan Boyle will sit his second straight game, and although the Sharks took it to the Anaheim Ducks yet again in a 3-1 victory on Thursday, playing without your best overall blueliner is never a good thing. Blake led the team with 24:53 of ice time two nights ago. Unsustainable obviously, no one needs to tell you that, but it highlights what a big part of this team Boyle is. No one really needs to tell you that either. Okay, now that we've established what we have already established let's move on.
By all accounts tonight should be an excellent game-- two of the top teams in the league squaring off toe to toe at HP Pavilion. Thing is, for me at least, I take very little stock into cross Conference matchups from a "sizing up" point of view. The two teams meet only once a year usually, giving the coaching staff little time to prepare a gameplan the likes of which you would see against Chicago, Detroit, or Calgary. What tonight will come down to is the fabled sports cliches we all have learned to simultaneously love and loathe over the years-- get pucks in deep, establish a forecheck, bodies in front, and put shots on net. Truly riveting stuff when you sit down to think about it, but with how well Buffalo has played this season, I'm sure the tilt tonight will elicit a few more emotional fluctuations than this lackadaisical gameday preview.
I can almost hear you flatlining.
The Sabres. When I say level of talent I don't mean Mike "Everyday I'm Hustlin'" Grier or Craig "Old Hickory" Rivet (a new nickname I just came up with for him that rolls off the tongue quite nicely I must say, as long as you don't associate Manifest Destiny and The Trail of Tears with it). They'll be nice to see again of course; the former in the case of a San Jose empty net with twenty seconds remaining, the latter not so much in the case of a Buffalo empty net with twenty seconds remaining. By jove the contrast is striking.
Anyways, where the hell am I going with this, anyways, by level of talent I specifically mean Ryan Miller and Tyler Myers. Miller's the class of the league between the pipes right now and will be leading Team USA to an upset over Ivano's Russian squad in the medal round in February (puffs out chest and waves reproductive organs around), while Myers is a damn near lock for the Calder. He's been thrown into the proverbial fire this season, and along with partner Henrik Tallinder, has been far and away the best pairing on the Sabres team. Lindy Ruff will likely try and match them up against HTML, but if he doesn't manage to successfully do so it won't matter-- the guy seems to be on a lifetime contract or something and will be frozen like Walt Disney by Sabres management after he retires. Ruff would probably have to go 0-82 before getting fired. Even then, a couple loser points here and there might save his job. I think it's the sweet facial hair. Those Buffalonians sure do love their facial hair.
*****
That's all she wrote (all he wrote, really) for me tonight. A few R&C's coupled with an early wake up call to interview members of the Audobon Society for the paper (real muckraking stuff let me tell ya) have rendered me absolutely useless. But before I go, I leave you with a grammatically correct sentence-- the first person to translate it in the comments without cheating (I'm serious idunno, I know you scammed your way through trivia last season) wins my eternal affection and a signed copy of my new book "How To Mail In A Gameday Post While Eating Leftover Chinese Food In Your Birthday Suit."
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Prediction: Sharks win 1-0 in the shootout. Miller shuts down Team Canada all game, with fellow American Joe Pavelski scoring the winner. Jingoism can't stop me now!
Go Sharks.

Damn this place is going to rock come Olympics time.
Now let’s look at some hard stats and see how many goals Russian top 4 already scored against this crazy Miller this season.
Ovechkin – 3 games, 2 goals, 2 assists
Semin – 2 games, 2 assists
Malkin – 2 games, 0 points
Kovalchuk – 3 games, 4 goals
Considering that the talent surrounding Russian top 4 on offense will be much better than the talent surrounding Miller on defense, USA will need nothing short of another “Miracle on Ice” to even stay in the game past the 1st period. Seeing how they didn’t spend 6 months preparing for the tournament together, and how it’s not magician Herb Brooks behind the bench but the ever bitter loser Ron Wilson, this one is not going to even be close.
CHEATING??!!!
I have never done such a thing so dishonorable. This is a fallacy. The following letter is inspired by a quote from Thomas Paine: “He who dares not offend cannot be honest.” You see, I, speaking as someone who is not an iconoclastic four-flusher, indisputably believe that the ideas backing up Mr. Plank’s metanarratives are extremely rambunctious and perfidious. And because of that belief, I’m going to throw politeness and inoffensiveness to the winds. In this letter, I’m going to be as rude and crude as I know how, to reinforce the point that some insane, callous libertines are actually considering helping Mr. Plank twist the teaching of history to suit his unpleasant purposes. How quickly such people forget that they were lied to, made fun of, and ridiculed by Mr. Plank on numerous occasions. The first response to this from his compeers is perhaps that he can be trusted to judge the rest of the world from a unique perch of pure wisdom. Wrong. Just glance at the facts: One does not have to make my worst nightmares come true in order to put inexorable pressure on him to be a bit more careful about what he says and does. It is a militant person who believes otherwise. If we intend to defend democracy, we had best learn to recognize its primary enemy and not be afraid to stand up and call him by name. That name is Mr. Plank.

No, I wasn’t feeling well so I went to the doctor. I don’t usually go, but my right eye was bloodshot so I thought I should go to have it looked at.
During the evaluation, he noticed my eyes were moving in different directions. He’s like “I’ll be right back”, and then called me into his office where he told me that I was scheduled for an emergency CT scan. The sinus infection I had moved into my eye and if I didn’t get treatment immediately I could be blind in that eye permanently within a few hours.
So, go to the hospital, on an IV. Get injected with iodine which is the weirdest feeling in the world (you can feel it moving through you). They shoot antibiotics in my face, also awesome.
Long story short they caught it in time but I’m on these horse pill antibiotics, but I’m still seeing double because one of my eyes is looking in a different direction. I’m not allowed to move all weekend.
So yeah, weird day.

Fear The Fin: Where Selling Your Soul Is The Likely Solution
wow! good thing you went and they were able to treat you in time. Reminds me of what happened to my youngest when he was 4-5. He had a cold. No biggie you would think. But he woke up one morning with his eyes crossed. Freakiest thing for parents to go thru. Went to the doctors, they ran test, blah blah blah. Seems the cold affected his eyes (more the muscles behind, it was all very technical) … and they said it could get better or it may require surgery. We had to put prisms on his glasses to get the muscles working.
I tell ya, freaky as hell. They monitored for years after that to make sure there was no long lasting affects.

I think I’m most pleased that, after tonight, the Sharks have 4 full days off at home to get Boyle better and get Nabby some rest. How often in an NHL schedule does that happen?
Oh, right, 4 days without Sharks hockey will suck. But hopefully they will come out fresh and healthy against Chicago after their short break.
As for tonight, I do believe I’m going to the game, so they better win! Dammit!

Predictions
Sharks win 3-0. Nabby shuts the net, and bests Miller. Goals from Marleau, Pavelski, and ______. That blank is because I feel it could be an energy/hustle goal from either Nichol, Ortmeyer, or Malhotra. Jumbo gets at least an assist tonight (he’s on the shnyde)

There’s a salary cap, and by sending Demers up and down, the Sharks are accumulating space for the deadline/latter half of the season so they can keep players up or acquire some without having to worry about the cap.
