Rambles II

The guy I'm sitting with at work right now is actually a huge hockey fan...not of the same pages as me, but it's fun to have new discussions....he actually just told me he hates Marty, things could get ugly. 

Anywho, I think some hockey things need to be covered, aside from Hank's hair (not to say that is not big news). 

- Drew Stafford is signed...pretty much. I'll have the big celebratory blog when its announced, but lets face it, its a done deal. And the week leading up to training camp, nice heart attack, Drew. You beat Ryans record three-ish years ago that left be as just as much of a mangled mess (back when I liked him). 

- I have not actually read Jerry Sullivan's article that has everyone in an uproar, but based on what I heard no one has the right to tell anyone how to be a fan. We buy what the Sabres sell, and they don't see us through to the end (yet). But, it's what keeps them alive, and we all know that even if we were to stop being fans now, we would be back for the finals...when and if that ever happens. 

- I have never been so impressed with a Sabre as I am with Nathan Gerbe right now. Again, still haven't read the article, but the gist of it is that he will play any position called on him, but he is NOT going to Portland this season...
 
You know what this reminds me of...



But in somewhat seriousness, good for you, Nate! There are a number of players that are automatically getting spots that probably don't have the drive that he does. It's the kind of heart we NEED on this team, and it will start with the little guy!

I really don't know how that roster is going to shape out with all things that are up in the air right now, but I hope it works out for him. 


And to all bloggers reading this...you are cordially invite to the ' Drew Stafford Signed a Freaking Contract' Partay....see, we really were going to do it!

We're aiming for Saturday after the Puck Drop...a get together for dinner or what not. Love Drew or hate him...it would be fun to all meet up in person. Let Shelby or I know if you're interested.
