Sabres score goals on Islanders, then punch them
Heavens! I remembered five minutes ago there was an Islanders game this afternoon, and in short order after turning it on I saw the Sabres score two runs, then saw a 1970s-style fight break out.
Dudes, there are a lot of children in the building! Stop it!
I'm watching in pain today after our tree swing collapsed Saturday after years of rope-fraying, causing me to bruise my coccyx.
Normally I would not burden you with this information, but it did remind me of a sports-related incident:
In 1995 I was playing first base in the coaches versus writers game at Giants training camp when the large offensive line coach, Pete Mangurian, kneed me in the coccyx when trying to beat out an infield single, causing extreme pain that lasted for several days.
Mangurian later became head coach at Cornell. Now I think he is on Bill Belichick's staff. He coaches . . . yup, tight ends.
But I digress. They're still sorting out the penalties at the Coliseum.

You can now score runs in hockey?
Maybe America will finally accept NHL as a real sport.
Hey Best:
Last week you mentioned that the Isles were switching broadcasters from WBBR to WMJC to get a bigger push for grass roots marketing on Long Island, even though they would be sacrificing listeners across the Nassau line in NYC, like me (a proud Queens resident).
So how come for their third game of the season they were pushed over to old-person WHLI AM?
(BTW - I'm at work listening on my XM)
Just remember, as you plot your advancement in the Dolan empire, that MSG has the rights to Sabres games on TWC systems in Western New York.
Mr. Dolan would probably prefer that you highlight this as being the Sabres' most decisive victory ever in the history of the Nassau Mausoleum, and that chants of "We want fishsticks!" could be heard sometime between the sixth and seventh Sabre goals.
JBM: Day games will be heard on WHLI all season. WMJC doesn't want to do games during the day. They want to do music.
Hi, Neil. So this is how I'm apprised of your health status? Try to take it easy...XOB.
