win their eighth straight game and improve to 13-1-0 and 26 points in the standings, the best start in NHL history after 14 games. But don't be too impressed: the previous record of 25 points was set in 2005 and tied last year, so it's not like this record is gonna be around forever. Martin Gerber had 30 saves, and five different players scored for the Sens as they continue to rinse the bad Duck taste out of their mouths from last year's Stanley Cup Finals.
In related site news, I'm hereby retiring the "Hoc-key?" joke. Its shelf life has long since expired, and its re-use isn't doing anything besides stinking up the kitchen and pissing off the hockey fans — and there are a solid five or six of them whose input I appreciate. So, from here on out, I might not get around to hockey every day, but when I do, I promise to give it at least the same half-interested disdain that I give the NBA.
College hoops, however, can still go suck a cock until March.

I don't get you, Uff, you are an enigma. You talk hockey but no mention of how those douchebags from OSU got embarrassed last night in hoops by Findlay. Yeah, Findlay. The fucking Oilers. Haven't we all been waiting for something like this to happen to these scarlet and gray queers?
Senators make huge strides on election day? Concidence? Well… yeah, I guess so.
Hooray! Hockey! I'll take hockey recaps any day of the week over NBA action. As far as the NBA is concerned, let me know when the playoffs start.
N-B-A?
@WAS you and me both! The Sens are so kicking ass at this point, we should send them over to Iraq- they will clean up that mess in a jiff.
and there are a solid five or six of them whose input I appreciate.
Word.
dayton beat findlay. findlay beat osu. therefore, dayton >>> osu???
GO FLYERS
Did somebody have a gun to uff's head for this post or something? regardless, i like.

I'll take Derrick Rose highlights over the NHL and NBA.
The last time a senator had this much luck around water (frozen or otherwise) Mary Jo Kopechne was involved.
The Senators can suck a cock
until Marchtoo.Sweet respect at last. I knew this day would come.
Matt — you have met the terms we agreed upon; your daughter is safe and will be returned to you in the next 48 hours.
and still no Sumo coverage?
<quietly weeps>

I wholeheartedly agree. Your interest might be half-hearted now but as a life long hockey fan I promise follow the league closely enough and long enough it's really a treasure's trove of LOLZ.
Plus, Playboy playmates are drawn to hockey players like moths to flames, so you'll have plentiful more reasons to post a whole new crop of NSFW links.
Believe me, my interest is definitely not half-hearted – I have lived in Minnesota my whole life – it's in our DNA up here.
Plus, Playboy playmates are drawn to hockey players like moths to flames…I think "rich and quasi-famous" are really the only requirements to attract playmates.
…And don't forget Jaromir Jagr's sweet mullet

Wild FTW! I'm a Sabres Girl myself but I follow Gaborik and Dom Moore a little. It must be nice to be in an actual for-real hockey hotbed, and not having to be forced to endure what passes for "hockey" here in Florida.
Big Nabs: true that.
i totally agree on retiring the "hoc-key?" joke. it's completely disrespectful to hockey fans and the hockey players who…pitch a ball…through a…net…with a…bat?
oh screw it. what's hockey again?
@WAS. I still miss the Northstars. My peewee team was the "insert local church name" Northstars for years, and that was one sweet jersey.
@ Matt – You might as well go ahead and start working on getting Helen Keller to spit out existentialism before you get Laffs nation to recognize the glaring spelling mistake in their team's name. (Canadiens is cool tho, cuz it's french you see) Didn't the "FIXED" joke get retired on here too? That's still kickin.
/end way too long of a post saying nothing
I retired 'hoc-key' weeks ago, suckers.
@Vanilla Berry: Thank goodness for Versus and HDNet, right?
@Merk: Norm Green can eat a bowl of AIDS.
@Rob: Indeed you did, good sir. Well done.
Can someone explain to me why hockey is so much better in person? I am not a fan, but the few Sharks game I have been to have been amazing. Is it due to the heavy amounts of alcohol involved at live events? My liver says yes, but I am interested in a hockey fan's input.
A Sabres girl? Vanilla Berry is officially the first lady of With Leather. If you touch her or bad-mouth her in anyway I will treat you like Dany Heatley treats his Ferrari.
Nabs generally hockey play by play announcers and colour commentators in the states are unbearable. It's pretty fucking annoying when I watch an american feed of the games because they know less than my dog's left nut about hockey.
I have to assume that if you're watching the game live without their input involved it'd be a sweet time. The sharks are a fun team to watch.
and the booze.
Nabs—The environment (read: alcohol) helps, but it's better due to sightlines. You don't have the television camera showing you were to look, you can look at the game from any angle you want. It's easier to see plays develop and understand what you're watching. Plus if you're watching on TV it's easy just to change the channel. If you actually go to the game, you have nothing else to concentrate on but the action, so that's an eye opener too.
Sorry for the long and unfunny comment. I'll resume to keeping them short and unfunny.
It's because the game doesn't fit your TV. The action isn't just around the puck but that's all that TV shows you.
Generally they suck but there is nothing general about Rick Jeanerette. Watch any game announced by him and you'll be jumping out of your seat.
And I'm a disgrace for misspelling Jeanneret. Forgive me Rick.
Thanks to all. Maybe I will make more of an effort to go to HP Pavilion. And also, not a lot fits my TV; it's one of those 13" VCR/TV combos. Currently loaded? Sex Island with Tera Patrick and Evan Stone.
Sex Island with Tera Patrick and Evan Stone
you'll also find that to be far more enjoyable live if you ever have the chance.
That was funny.
Sweet Geebuz. Hockey Talk and Pr0n too.
NBA – Who cares, Steve Nash and the Suns got fawqed last year in the playoffs.
Nabs… it's the BEER, donuts, hockey fights and drunk chicks in the stands.
WAS: YES! I, too, go all out and get NHL Center Ice (um, along with all the other sports packages, NFL Sunday Ticket, etc. It's a disease, really. I'm not sure how I made it out of law school. My pet won't eat but I can watch myself into a sports coma. ESPN stopped being amusing when Kilborn left)
289: *blows kiss* thanks for being the White Knight! SABRES FOREVER, BABY. I actually blog about them myself. It's been a struggle this year but I refuse to lose hope. Maybe their rough start will kick all the stupid bandwagon fans who keep crying for Miller to get traded will shut the hell up and let the real fans enjoy. It's heartbreaking enough we have to deal with, on top of everything, now Connolly and Mair are down. Campbell is trying, but it's just not clicking. Special teams need to step it up. Pommer is trying to hard but I know his effort will pay off. Stafford and Paille are showing flashes of brilliance, which is a ray of hope, and by December the rookie jitters will be gone and I expect big things. It would be nice if Affy decided to more than 3 or 4 shifts thought..
um, sorry for the long anaylsis. I get talking about the Sabres and/or hockey in general I don't stop…
…I will treat you like Dany Heatley treats
his Ferrari.Dan Snyder.@289, Vanilla:
If worse comes to worst you can always root for the 'Hawks and Pat Kane. If the NHL had a Purple Jesus, he would wear 88 and don the Indianhead.
Pat Kane is going to look awesome in the slug in a few years.
Jesus Christ, you hockey fans need to go back into your shantys.
