The Catch-Up

A potpourri of thoughts, observations, and quotes regarding the Buffalo Sabres

Quick note here friends, I am sick as a dog this week and it convinced me that the body knows when you’re not going to be going anywhere for a while (in this case the arena for practices and games) and it invites the first bug it runs into to take roost. Lucky me. I’ll try to put things together while I’m not sleeping or medicating, but we’ll see how it treats me while I fight it off. Fingers crossed.

Occasionally when I get stuck on writing something or an idea peters out or goes unfulfilled, I’m going to start slamming these things together as a means to still share some of it and not leave the rest of you hanging with nothing to read.

I’m calling it “The Catch-Up” because anything else made it seem like I was feeding lame scraps of information and whatnot to you all and that’s not at all what I’m doing nor is it the intention. Sometimes I work on things and people say great things but circumstances sometimes beyond my control help cast it aside.

Other times there are thoughts where there’s not really enough to put together for a fully sustainable piece, but it’s good to share, nonetheless. Anyhow, if this is something you like, let me know in the comments (if you’re a paid subscriber, that’s a perk) or shout at me on Twitter. Or both if you’re really fired up about it.

Let’s lead it off with some words about Ryan Miller…
