  1. Rochester & Buffalo nearly played 2 full games during their double header anyway. The Redwings had two chances to win, but kept letting Buffalo back into it.

  2. Minor Details will be taking Easter weekend off. Unless something unexpected happens, we will be back on Monday.

      1. I thought there was some sort of holiday coming up. mebbe he gets triple-time to work holidays.

        1. Complicating matters even more is that I'm going out of town right after the Good Friday service tonight and won't be back until tomorrow evening. I'm taking my dad to his cousin's 90th birthday party. I happy to do it for him, but it didn't exactly come at a convenient time.

  3. They're starting to remind me of last year's Red Wings. The season seemed so promising when they were 2-1.
