You need to change your avatar. I feel like when you made that your avatar, the Amerks started playing poorly. I'm horribly superstitious. Time to change it up!

Agreed... I changed it because I was forced to and the Americans were playing better than the Sabres. Will change today.

Nothing wrong with being him although I'd like to see him produce a tiny bit more than Krejci does year to year.

no golf today?

Rather than micromanage by assessing all the young players every second of every game, I am looking at things this way.

While the team is still getting caught in their own end for an extended period from time to time, it is not happening nearly as much as it did last year. Improvement.

The team overall seems to be able to hold on to the puck much more than they did last year. Improvement.

They are more aggressive in the offensive zone. The pressure they apply is greater from game to game and it is causing turnovers by the opponents. It is odd seeing them be able to actually get the puck back in the offensive zone this year as that was an impossibility last year. Improvement.

They are still getting outshot and their scoring chances are not great, but with the seeming improvement of the three items above, if they can improve the other 2 I mentioned while incorporating the prospects at the pro level, things will be moving in the right direction.

that last one was bad, would push anybody out of here. I think we'll see more crazy lake effect snows like that in the future.

Is it sad that sometimes I like to watch just because I think it's hysterical?

It's really not that difficult to make sure you know who the father of your baby is, IMO.

I'm getting a remote starter installed on Saturday. I bet the rest of winter ends up unseasonably warm. It's how things work for me.

the plus side is I will get to be a member at a nicer golf course

the down side is my buffer zone went from 1046 miles to 6 miles

Great blog man, always a solid read

I had one in my old car. Every winter we had after that wasn't bad. I barely used it most of the time. I traded that car in August 2013 and went all last winter without a remote start, and of course it was horribly cold and super snowy. I'm hoping the trend continues after I get this one installed and the weather ends up warm enough I barely need to use it again.

Now I have to figure out what to do for 2 hours while they install it.
