They now need to take at least 6 out of the remaining 18 points to have a chance at passing Phoenix. There's really only been two portions of the season where they were able to put up points at that rate. When this thing is finished, we're going to look back at January and smile. If you want to tank, you need to start it early and not wait until the end of the season. Edit: And I'm curious if anyone out there watched the Hockey East games on NBCSN over the weekend. Eichel is one hell of a consolation prize. His "toe drag through the defenseman's legs, bank shot off the other defenseman" goal against Lowell was filthy. I was hoping for a 40-something point season from him this year, but now with a decent NCAA tourney he is going to top 70. Most seasons no one in the NCAA puts up that many points, let alone a freshman. In two weeks when they hand him the Hobey, he'll be the second freshman to ever win that award (Paul Kariya).

Your dedication to misspelling player names is a thing of beauty. I just hope that the Sabres can do worse than the 2-4 win/loss record you just put up.

Speaking of Rosita, she really needs to get back into her skimpy clothing from when they were on the road. I don't recognize her anymore. When she was out there with Michonne and Sasha, she very well could have been just a random Alexandrian and I wouldn't have noticed.

Realistically, a split with Arizona should wrap this thing up. This team is not closing a 3 point gap over the remaining 7 games. And actually, it is a 4 point gap. Buffalo has 12 ROWs while Arizona has 16. The Coyotes hold the tie breaker.

A blackout didn't result in no game being aired at all? I'm out of touch on this one since I've been out of Buffalo for years.

The cast says a lot of stuff that should mostly be ignored. I can't count the number of times I've seen quotes from Reedus or Lincoln saying the next episode is the best one they've ever made.

Yeah, the women got their brief moment to shine in this episode, yet Maggie didn't even make a single appearance. I would have figured she'd be in on the conversation with Glenn about what happened during the run.

It seems pretty obvious that he'll go after Glenn. My guess is he accidentally kills a kid (maybe Sam?) and then Carol takes him out.

I don't know, Sandler and James is probably enough to scare away a lot of people. I'll check out the trailer when I'm home from work later today to see if I could get past my strong desire to avoid anything those two star in.

He did have that look. Everything I heard about chappie was more about the story than the look of the robot though. War robot that develops free will? Yep, that's Short Circuit. I hope Steve Guttenberg pops up randomly in the movie.

The robot should be named Johnny 5.

I hope you'll be able to share a picture of that "not a terrorist" certificate they send you.

Tank or no tank, there is no reason to not get Hackett his starts. Remember all those comments leading up to the deadline about not letting an asset walk away for nothing? That's exactly what they have here.

...Unless you have something to hide. Have you renewed your subscription to Inspire Magazine recently?

And I bet that you stand to get a certificate from the FBI declaring that you are not a terrorist. Sounds like a nice conversation piece to me. I'd frame that thing and hang it over my mantel.

Why are you in trouble. It's very clear that you still have plenty of time to fill out the appropriate form and get it to them. Maybe you run into a corrupt agent who tries to skim a little of the money off the top, but it beats the alternative. Get those forms in and get your money!

I'd say it's a combination of too many characters and too few episodes. It's tough to develop all these people and also advance the story given the short time frame. I know they like to call it a 16 episode season, but it really is two 8 episode seasons thanks to the time off in between.

For me, the best part of the character development from last season is that it gave us the Carol that we all know and love today. So many people love to talk about Daryl, but to me, Carol is now the best character on this show. I can't wait for the moment where she gets to show Alexandria her true colors. edit: Ok, the rest of Alexandria. Little Sam knows her well at this point.

This weekend could actually be a good one for padding the cushion for last place. Arizona has a three game home stand and the Oilers are 1 game into a 6 game home stand. Buffalo has 2 of 3 on the road. If there was ever a time that either of those teams was going to pick up a few extra points, this is a good one. That then puts you right at the big head to head matchup.

Granted there were a few OTLs in there, but they just won for the first time in 8 games. Like it or not, they're going to win a few. There are 12 games to go and they are still dead last. Keep your eyes on the prize.

Or due to an unfortunate spelling error made by the team drafting second, the Sabres miraculously realize that Eichel is actually still on the board when the pick in the mid-20s.

They can't all think the same way. Sooner or later one of those ideas contradictory to what corporate thinks will be spoken. That's when the real fun begins.

Requiring their employees to talk about social matters with the customers? Yeah, this can't possibly blow up in their faces.

He already knew about the Islanders. He was asking about any other picks.

No lottery draft pick has been traded this year. All 1st round picks that were traded were teams who were firmly entrenched in playoff position. No one was going to give up their chance at McDavid, even if it was only a 1% shot.
