It brings me very little joy to point out that I’m literally one off from a full parlay here, and it’s the game that hasn’t happened yet.

There’s so many things I need to know.

How about Balls to the Wall by Accept?

Yeah I remember that song. And Crystal Blue Persuasion by Tommy James.

But Crystal Ball… that’s Tommy Shaw’s first Styx record. And he had the title track. A masterpiece. I’m hoping @Doggy shares that opinion.

Pens do something good for once, beating NYR in regulation tonight, Rangers still have a game in hand on us, but still being four points back means that can't pass us by winning the two games in hand they had at the start of the night. Guys need to come out strong tomorrow and leave it all out there before the break and some reinforcements arrive.

Yup, great trivia question about Crystal Ball being Tommy Shaw's first studio recording after joining the band. I'm a huge Styx fan and that is probably my favorite song by them of all time. Might be one of my top ten favorite of all time.

I am sad I never got to see the whole band live together. I don't know how DDY's voice is these days but I heard a live recording of TS from this past summer and while it's obviously not 70s-80s Shaw it was still pretty decent. I always wondered if John Curulewski ever regretted leaving the band just as they were having real success.

So, did either of you happen to see the performance of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra doing Styx songs a few years ago (maybe pre COVID)? I had Styx-loving family members go.

Nope, moved back to Ohio in 2021. But that'd be cool. Much of Styx' music was rock opera (like Paradise Theater and Killroy Was Here) because that's the way Dennis DeYoung liked it. So it would be very symphony-friendly music.

Sat Feb 8, there are lots of games to follow today...

Devils @ Habs: torn here, the realist in me says Go Devils so Habs stay down below us but part of me says we are close enough to the Devils that a Habs win could make things interesting for the metro #3 spot. Devils refuse to run away with it. Need help here knowing which way I should cheer.

Bolts @ Wings: Easy one, go Bolts

Knights @ Bruins: Easy one, go Knights

Sens @ Cats: Go Cats

Pens @ Flyers: Go Flyers

Sabres @ Preds: Don't think Sabres have a WC chance but they have won four in a row...so go Preds

Isles @ Wild: Go Wild

Bolts up early 2-1 twelve minutes into the first period. Keep it up boys!

Back to hockey, thank you. I think we've had Too Much Time on Our Hands, here. I don't mean to be a Renegade, but you're Fooling Yourself if we think the Jackets aren't missing a Blue Collar Man like Boone Jenner.

I'm very sorry

I see what you did there...and never apologize for quoting Styx. Four thumbs up

You can't predict injuries. I think it's safe to say that Nothing Ever Goes As Planned and the idea of getting through an entire season without them or other issues arising is simply a Grand Illusion. That said regardless of how the rest of this season plays out I am excited about the future. There is no doubt we are headed towards The Best of Times for the CBJ.

Good start tom the day, Habs and Wings both go down in regulation. Bruins up 2-1 on Knights after one period.
