GDT: 7/1/14 - Carolina @ Buffalo: X-Files Case: A Snow Job for Trolls

[Lucky Lindy]

Yeah, and having to wait around killing some time in one of their little industrial villages of 4 or 5 million people. It's early Wednesday here. I'm from your future.

I'm always from the future for you americans, but now your from the future for me.

Confusing.

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

Somehow I read that as "killing 4 or 5 million little people"

That mis-reading is actually probably very accurate, given the air quality and who knows what else in the soil and water. And it's entirely possible these conditions exist due to this entire town being dedicated to manufacturing something like Happy Meal toys or the little plastic thingies that are on the end of shoelaces, but that's how they roll.

That's really weird, I did the same thing.

 

[nobuddy]

It's because the word "kill" appeared previously in the sentence. Your brains then associated the similar "village" to read as "killing".

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

are you spreading the gospel of chad?

Yes, I've been here in this town only 3 days but they all love him now. They think he's is the greatest hockey player ever, which is what I told them. It was easy, I just handed out color photos to 1 person in every 10,000 who passed me on the street knowing they would tell 2 people, and then those 2 would would tell 2 each, and so on, and so on. They were immediately hooked by his Red Canes jersey and dazzling smile. The whole place is a hive anyway, but now because of me they're buzzing "Roh-zeeee".

Guilty also.

You may call yourself neutral, but now we have you surrounded.

If the teams and the refs are in town, they'll probably play the game, even if travel bans mean there won't be any spectators. It's just logistically too hard to reschedule a game at this point in the season, especially with the Olympic break this season.

Although, looking at the Sabres lineup, I think we could probably play them DURING the Olympic break and neither of us would be affected too badly. Wow. That's the worst group of skaters I've ever seen. Ryan Miller must be the best goalie in the world for these guys not to be 0-82. No Tyler Myers tonight, either.

Plus, we won't be treated to the mandatory Ott vs. Gleason fight tonight.

Was anyone planning to go to this one anyhow?

 

[DaleCooper]

Some parts of upstate New York and Ontario could reportedly see up to 80 inches of snow between now and tomorrow afternoon. I think that's more northeast (Kingston area), but still, it's insane up there.

 

[What the Faulk]

Game is postponed.

 

[Novacane]

Well. That sucks.

 

[Unsustainable]

I couldn't imagine 7-8 feet of snow in a night. I remember growing up there was a night of 2 feet with an extra foot the next day though.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Game is postponed.

Chip's saying cancelled (lest someone take postponed to mean "playing later tonight") - anybody have any idea when it might be rescheduled?

 

[What the Faulk]

Just glanced at the schedules. Doesn't seem like anything in January is an option.

 

[norcar]

Another reason Buffalo sucks. Can't we beg Canada to annex it or something?

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

Oh well.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I know this isn't GDT related, but wanted to put it somewhere people would see it, and if the game is truly postponed, it doesn't matter.

 

[DaleCooper]

Stealing this one from Reddit:

Hockey just doesn't work in cold environments. Games cancelled by cold weather in Los Angeles/Florida/Phoenix = 0 combined.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Game off

Further analysis of the schedules leads me to determine that I don't know if it'll be possible to make this up without a team playing 3 in 3.

I was thinking Tom Wilson

 

[Wolfpuck]

Knowing the Canes, this will probably kill their momentum dead in its tracks.

Wonderful. Maybe they let us play it after the season should have been over?

I hope Anton brought his Lego truck to kill the boredom tonight.
