I wrote up a nice review of the game last night, but a website crashed my browser 🙁 I was looking for a video of Ryan Miller’s big save on NBC.com and some video on their site made my browser shut down 🙁 So, no good review… just click the photo above to watch the…
Year: 2007
Mission (Mostly) Accomplished
With the warmer weather, we all headed outside today to get to work on some post-winter, outdoor jobs. I spent 3.5 hours cleaning out the winter “collection” from our van. Oh man, it was bad! But it’s not now. It’s almost like brand new! Sorta… While I did that, Jen and the kids picked up…
Fourth?
The Buffalo Sabres were the one team everyone figured was a lock to advance to the second round. The outcome of every other series going into round one of the Stanley Cup playoffs was at least a little bit in question. But almost everyone agreed that there was really no chance that the Islanders could…
Sabres Lead 3-1
Chris Drury scored two more goals as the Sabres outplayed the scrappy Islanders, taking a 3-1 series lead with the win. The Sabres were the better team overall, but they never could put it away by scoring a few “buffer goals”. The lead was only one goal until Jason Pominville scored on an oustanding individual…
Search Terms
Every once in a while, I check the stats page for my blog here… and usually find some interesting things. I found an old friend, and a few more links to other friends’ websites. I see which pages (besides the main page) are viewed most (#1, #2, #3…) But perhaps the most comical (and sometimes…
Dreamers
Last night I took my wife out for dinner and a movie. We had a nice sandwich at Arby’s (we rarely, if ever, go there so it was a special treat) and then we went to the “Dollar Theater” (we call it that) and watched the movie “Astronaut Farmer“. The plot is pretty simple… a…
From Virginia Tech
I’m sure you have heard/seen/read the news from Virginia Tech of the ugly events from yesterday. When it happened, I immediately thought of a friend who is working there with a campus ministry group. We met her at Crosswinds several years back, so now a few friends from there have updated us on how she…
Sabres Take Game Three
It wasn’t easy, but they did manage to pull out the win, never trailing in the game. Quite different from game two, Buffalo scored the first (and second) goal of the game, and then added a 5-on-3 power play goal to make it 3-1, holding on for the 3-2 win. All of the scoring was…
60 Million Light Years
Can someone tell me how we can actually know that something is SIXTY MILLION LIGHT YEARS away? How is that even possible to measure? After a long internet search last night, the best I came up with was something called Parallax, but isn’t it just theory?? (It’s supposedly a similar process to how surveyors measure…
Great Article About Sabres’ Center Chris Drury
One more hockey related item today… We read this article yesterday about Sabres’ centerman Chris Drury. It was fantastic. Well-written, and just a great story. Makes us want to root for him even more (and hope the Sabres KEEP him, since he’s a free agent at the end of this year… and that’s sort of…
