Wait, there's no game tonight? Why didn't someone tell me?! What am I supposed to watch while I eat all this pizza?
I keep meaning to complain about this and now seems as good a time as any. What is up with the schedule this year? Were the schedule makers drunk or what? The Sabres played what felt like once every two weeks for the first couple months of the season and now I've gotten so used to them playing every other night that I'm sitting here in front of my television waiting for the game to start. I know a lot of teams are in the same boat so I'm in no way using this an excuse for the Sabres' struggles but it's puzzling. And I'm so excited about all the divisional games we're ending the season with. Why spread those out across 82 games when we can do them 10 at a time, you know?
A couple of non-hockey notes:
First, I am now walking. I repeat, I AM NOW WALKING! Okay, I'm actually hobbling like an 85-year-old man who's about to chase kids out of his yard but I managed to successfully carry a glass of water from the kitchen to the living room by myself. I am AMAZING. (Don't tell Mark. I plan on taking advantage of the "But I can't do it!" situation as long as I can. In fact, I typed this whole paragraph in a secret font that won't show up on his computer screen.)
Secondly, I decided that I might as well make use of this time off to visit the family at the old Henderson homestead. Since the Henderson homestead is in Sweet Home Alabama (Where the Skies are So Blue), I'll be far, far way from the Sabres and professional hockey in general. I'm sure I'll cue up WGR on the ol' laptop here and there and force the family to listen to some Rick Jeanneret and I'm sure I'll be poking in on other blogs to see how things are going. But since I won't actually be seeing the games myself, I probably won't have much to say here while I'm gone. Let's face it though... I've posted almost every day since I got home from the hospital in late December. You folks could probably stand a ten day or so break from me.
I'll be here after tomorrow's game though so don't start the party yet :P

And here I was all set to toilet paper your blog.
Ooh...did you see that Lindy said Hank should be practicing in a day or two--possibly full practices. That doesn't sound bad at all. :D
As long as the weather cooperates I'm leaving Sunday morning so just hold onto the T.P. for a couple more days, Meg. And I did see that Hank is expected to practice on Sunday. Fabulous news! But that means MSG will need to get that "Hank in a suit" interview tomorrow or they might miss out :D
HaHa, Heather, the skies are not so blue here right now! It is snowing to beat the band. I'm sure every grocery and convenience store is completely out of milk and bread by now (probably since the "S" word first got mentioned on the local news).
I'm going to be very disappointed if MSG messes up a "Hank in a suit" opportunity. I'm not very hopeful though.
Shelli, no! I'm leaving Buffalo to get AWAY from the snow! I don't want to be there when all the crazies are flipping out about snow so thin you can see the grass! :-D
Not to worry! The snow is already gone but it was beautiful while it lasted. My kids built an 18-inch snowman on the patio table which will have melted by game time tonight. You got it exactly right...the grass was shining through and the streets were clear but at least everyone here has a good supply of food and water should there be a nuclear disaster.
I, too, want the suit interview. Hecht looked so fine the other night but he is a little stiff. Hank seems to enjoy the attention more than Jochen!
