Maybe Franzen is suffering from a "hairline conscience".

To reiterate:

Jay Onrait: Author.

It was announced last week that TSN's Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole will be leaving to begin a new chapter at FoxSports. Here's hoping they won't change their work ethic one iota. I'll miss them both and TSN will never be the same.

With a win tonight, it will mark only the fifth time four consecutive Away games have been played resulting in four wins, with the previous seasons being 1950-51, 1988-89, 1994-95 and1995-96. If it doesn't happen, I am prepared to accept full responsiblity for the loss.

Dallas Eakins is still having a problem creating a new "identity" for the Oilers? That's too bad.

Give Emery credit; he was able to skate off the ice. For the future, two words: Rule change.

From NHL dot com: This is one of my all-time favourite Shannyvisions; the real problem is Kaleta is too easy a target.

From Buffalo News: Problem identified, problem solved. Before you ask, the answer is "N".

I find this sort of minutiae both fascinating and riveting...at the same time. Since the start of the Modern Conference Era (1993-94) in the League, it's the fewest goals scored total (33) in the first fourteen games by the Club, three fewer than 1996-97. And, it's the tenth fewest goals scored total all-time, tied with the 1959-60 team. So...it begs to ask the question: How, at this current juncture of the season, can a team with such an inept ability to put the "biscuit in the basket" still have both such impressive record and standing in their newly-minted Conference home? Maybe this man has the answer.

Why did Downie lead with his face? Too late for "trade-backs"?

When I hear or read the word "believe", I only associate it with one player. And it sure as hell isn't Franzen.

How bad is it, really? I had to look it up. Since the start of the Modern Conference Era (1993-94), it's the fewest goals scored (29) in the first thirteen games, five fewer than 1996-97, 2006-07 and 2011-12. The most? Fifty-six, in 1993-94

From NHL: Quite a collection of ne'er-do-wells and misfits disguising themselves as hockey players in Buffalo. Lots o' Shannyvisions lately.

From NHL: Buffalo will miss his "skill set".

From TMZ:

A exchange of dummies.

When in doubt...

And, that security guard: At the end of the day, they were two of the smartest firings...EVER!!!
