Sabre Hotness Melted the Snow!

Wowwwwww, that was lame. 

Anywho...

- I love Kevin, I just do. First off, he seems like an all around good guy. But most importantly, his blogs are the only reasonable piece of Sabres information out there, which I'm sure I've touched on before. The most recent post states that Ryan is doing well, which he is, but also the defensemen and their improving. 

He also mentions the brutal month, line changes, the ' grey' area in Patty K's suspension, and eating a light bulb in Philly. 

Once again, I love you. 

- Patty K's interview today made me giggle. Basically, he's still angry and can't wait to bunch a bitch...and he giggles when he says it, so, bonus. 

- Ovie got suspended. That's not news, but hopefully suspending a super star will send the necessary warning. Like Patty, Alex claims he will not change his style of play. I don't think Alex intends to hurt people, but cannot understand that he will should things keep up. Hopefully, everyone stays alive. 

- I fell asleep before the Sharks and Sens game last night. However, it doesn't look like I missed much. Dany got two assists, and second star, the Sharks won, and nothing seems to be that interesting. If it was in Ottawa, however...

- CRAIGORY MAY BE BACK TOMORROW! I know he may not be horribly important to some, but, he's the captain and it will make Chris stop crying. 

- I'm going to three games in the next week. With my luck, Patty will start in the one I don't go to....

- Last, but not least, it's someones BIRTHDAY!!

That's right, today is the 40th anniversary (heehee) of the Buffalo Sabres!

I could only think of one thing to get them:

Haha, jk!

Now, I have to make a fake website about a fake pizza party for a fake school involving the real Ryan and Goose. 

Stellar. 

Marty Biron, ILY.

Hugs!


And I thought the Flyers made him nasty!

When this happened last night, I was in complete shock...I think I still am. I heard Patty was in the crease being a pest (I seem to text a lot more at Sabres games when someone is NOT there) then didn't look up until Marty was going after him.

Good for him, I think. He kind of made a jump going after one of our enforcers when someone like ohh, say Derek Roy was nearby.

I was worried that it would turn in to a nasty pile up, or that Patty would go after him when he got in the box. Or that Drews head would have exploded because he would have no idea what to do when he finally got down there.

I think the Sabres are disappointed in Patty. How dare he bug Marty like that!

There was a pair of really drunk guys in the section next to us and behind us (it was really empty where we were sitting, bummer). Everytime Ryan so much as took a drink from his water bottle, they would chant ' USA! USA!' so Shelby and I were discussing random countries I could have stood up and cheered for...like Micronesia, and Tawian.

Despite a shut out, an ironic one at that, I still think Marty played better last night. Sure, Ryan didn't let anything in, but 24 vs. 39 shots isn't a fair match up. The goals Marty did let in were either horribly screened or a power play. The third one was just crazy, he totally knew what he was doing there.

Just like how it wasn't Pattys fault that we lost in New York, it wasn't Martys here.

Also, not too stoked that Roy scored his first goal on Marty...and I'm just not too stoked that he scored period. He did his stupid little celebration like he's suppose to be something great, and we have defensemen with more goals than him! It took you 12 games, wtf Derek, wtf!

Thomas also scored on Marty, and I know he doesn't like that. When he's ready to admit it, I will be ready to listen.

I'll actually be interested to see how the last game against the Islanders go, and surprisngly it's not like...tomorrow, or something.

Actually, tomorrow is the Flyers game. But, apparently Shelby does not want to watch it with me. I kind of hope Patty is better by then, because he shouldn't be too far away from the ice when Emery is around. Maybe we can install a zipline from the press box to the crease, I dunno.


p.s- him carpooling with Toni was quite possibly the most adorable thing ever.

Hamilton...errr Phoenix...Coyotes.

I've really been slacking in the blog updating department. I'm only doing it right now because I have to finish laundry, and am too lazy to go to my car to retrieve my camera. 

Thankfully, the boys made up for their home opening loss and seem to be on a good track. Even though I still haven't felt that hockey has reallllly begun, I think it's just going to take time to get things going. 

-First off, I think everyone played FANTASTIC tonight...with the minor exception of Derek, but he's never going to rank high enough to get any kind of honorable mention. Right, Derek? 

- Shelby and I called Goose, Drew, Craigory, Chris, annnddd...someone else? to score. We were never right, but who REALLY would have called Clarkie scoring? And Shelby SHOULD have called the Aussie scoring. 

- I feel as though Patty K only got aggressive because his attempt to fight in the beginning, which lost him a glove, did not work out. But his hit was clean, and like Ryan said, threw the Coyotes off the rest of the game. All they wanted was to take out Patty, and it just led to more penalties for them?

- I am falling more and more in love with Monty. I didn't care when he first signed, I'll admit, but he has so much grit and determination, and it really shows on the ice. He moves fast, and knows where to be and when to be there. He also looks like Simon Gagne, just saying. 

- I reallllly hope Hank's penalty doesn't put him on the waivers. Shelby somehow got me worried about that. But they killed off the 5 on 2, and then the remainder of his penalty. He seems to be doing just fine, or at least, not bad as he sometimes tends to be. 

- The two Sabres goals were hard to cheer for, as someone was down on the ice at the time. First a Coyote, who was thankfully fine, then Tyler, who was also fine. At first I thought Tyler was celebrating, Max style and all, until Hank was leaning over him and shaking him. Actually, there's a chance that maybe at the time I thought Hank was congratulating him? Who knows. After the threesome celebration, they all stood over him. But, everyone is just fine...and we do know that something CAN take down Tyler. 

- Speaking of Tyler, he got his first NHL point...and his announcement was greater than Clarke, who actually scored. Everyone orgasmed, I'm sure. 

- Toni finally signed the Finnish flag. He was stoked, I think, in a Toni kind of way. I think the three of us are really starting to build a friendship.

Sorry this blog is becoming slightly of a dud. School is kicking my ass, and in a sneaky form, and I also haven't been sleeping much at night. However, this time tomorrow (today?) I will be in Nashville. I'm visiting with family friends, but will be there for my boys on Saturday night. 

...I'm not sure how hardcore I'll have to go against Predators fans, but I am prepared for either...

Re-Cap the Sequel...Same title, still not funny.

I didn't watch any of the game last night. 

There, I said it. 

But, an unplanned nap and then a quest to buy Honey Nut Cheerios sometimes takes priority, right? 

And it's pre-season, it's hard to follow this stuff. That, and I am still willing to look the other way while they make boo boos. I heard Mike Weber and Goose were on that list last night, but I REALLY look the other way for Goose. He could totally wreck Timmy one night, I'll pretend it never happened. 

I think Katebits put it best. When we lose, its just preseason. When we win, we are beasts who will never lose again. 

ALSO!

(put your hand down, Sean Collins!)

Sometimes I'm not sure if I like the idea of Timmy being captain. With Goose and TV over his shoulder with the A's, maybe, but he is not a balanced man most of the time. 

I heard Patty did well, despite not getting a lot of action. So, this means he won't be playing Wednesday, but I was prepared for this. As long as Craigory and Toni are, for stupid reasons. And Vanek so I don't have to shut Shelby up...

VERY proud of our little goal scorers! And 11 seconds apart...someone was antsy!

Eeep!

Tomorrow is the ever awaited Toronto game. It's going to be good time, folks!

p.s- My radio show starts today! My friend Courtney and I will be broadcasting from 10 to 11 am every Tuesday and Thursday.  We're aiming to make it a Sabres show, since its on the right days, but we shall see. 

To listen online, go to medaille.edu/wmcb.

Listen, folks!

Pregame! Woo!

Alright, folks. Preseason continues tonight!

Our boys are in Detroit, hopefully ready to bounce back against the Red Wings. 

Maybe we should all take a moment to remember what happened last time we played them...

Luckily, Drewseph is not playing tonight. Craigory, however, is. So, in case someone feels like getting out of hand, he shall be there.

Also playing from Thursday night are Vanek, Roy (gah!), Butler, Gerbe, Myers, Pominville (gah!), Weber, Mac, and Kennedy...probably because of his Michigan relations.

SPEAKING OF MICHIGAN! Ryan is playing tonight, the WHOLE game with Jhonas backing him up. Patty didn't get to play the whole game...

...anywho, other new guys in the mix are Goose, TC, Matty Ellis, Patty K, Mike Grier, Peaches, and Toni Bear. I'm excited some ' seasoned' defensemen are going in tonight. They can help out the little ones, even if it's only to kiss the boo boos better.

Shelby and I will be listening to the game at the same time of watching Dirty Dancing...not even kidding.

After tonight, the boys head to Washington to hopefully not re-create Thursday night. Then, they are back here for the second (and final) home preseason game against the Leafs.

It's also going to be Shelby and I's first game together...

...I wonder if they let you blog from a holding cell.
