Not Dead

Just out of service...like Tim Kennedy.

Back to the Office

I have to admit, while not blogging I've had a ton of ideas for posts with all that has been going on in the wonderful of hockey.

Then, I come back, and they're all gone. Maybe in all the dealio of remembering my password, it knocked the rest of my ideas out of my head.

Anyways, Sabres.com actually did something useful and gave me something to work with. Yes, they're usually behind (they may not know Hank and Toni are gone, hell, they might not even know that Danny P left). As you may have forgotten, they've been doing yearly review stat counts on various Sabres. ' Various' being three since the offseason began, despite the ad saying ' weekly'.

Mr. Tim Connolly appeared to be their choice for this ' week' following Yo Yo Hecht, Jason Pominville, and now useless to compare Hank Tallinder. For some reason I thought Tyler Myers was covered, I'm almost sure the Sabres.com search is lying and he was, but maybe because he's the only player ever mentioned on the site lately, I just assume that.

Back to Timmy. I was nervous to look at the stats. Personally, I don't think Timmy had a bad season, but that means nothing when it comes to getting ripped apart by Sabres fans. He lead the team in assists, set a team record for consecutive points, and did not die. January of this year marked an entire year that he didn't have a boo or TB or something.

Not until the final games of the season did he indeed suffer a very common hockey injury, not spline falling out or other awkward Tim Connolly injuries. However, until his loses a testicle on the ice, Sami Salo is still the winner, and until a stray puck strikes him on the bench and breaks his arm (I doubt nothing), Hank is still the Sabres king for awkward injuries.

In conclusion, keep doing whatever it is you're doing Timmy.

Just don't tell us about it

I've decided to come back.

And similar to a certain Sabre also returning, I don't think anyone is going to like it very much.

Stay tuned :)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

That is all. 

Little Guys and Swedes and guys named MONTY!

Last night, Shelby and I had an epic plan to spend the night together baking, watching the game, and work on our newest project. We haven't watched a game together since the Montreal game...which is a long time, at least for us. 

Then my friend Connor called me to tell me he had his grandpas season tickets, and wanted me to go. I really battled the idea in my head...I hated the idea of ditching Shelby, and I had to bake something for channel 2 today. Also, the weather wasn't really on our side (still isn't). 

In the end, we went. And, I am SO glad we did!

Right away, we could tell they were already doing better than Monday (not like doing worse was really a possibility). Because of the angle of our seats, we saw the first goal go right in. And, we thought it was Natey, just from how it looked, and we were screaming for the little guy. 

Then, they announced it, and it was MONTY. For a second, Connor and I were like ' oh....OH!' So, of course, major excitement that Monty scored, since we weren't there for his first goal, and defensemen don't usually score a lot. 

However, I kept thinking Gerbe would score. I don't know why, he was so determined in his pre-game interview talking about it, thinking if he scored he wouldn't have to go back to Portland. And, sure enough, he did! And when he did, we knew it was him, and everyone was SO excited for him, which they should be! Patty was ready to launch off the bench and on to him...which would have been painful. I'm sure they discussed this last weekend in Portland...well, Nate talked about it, Patty just sat there. 

And then...THE SWEDE!!!!! What an epic night! 2 defensemen and a rookie. AND...a shutout. Take that, Ovie!

I love the way this team bounces back after being shut out...by shutting out. However, I get the feeling Ryan Miller is about to snap. He needs a hug and a nap, and some hot chocolate. 

Especially in this shit...

Oh Medaille College, how you make me risk my life for pettyness. 

Double Poop.

Last night was awful, just awful. It doesn't take much to overturn the soaking wet feet I had when finally getting into the arena, and last night was not even close.

Ryan Miller deserves no blame, and coming from me that means a lot. The second goal may or may not have been his fault, but it sure as well was not the game winning one. Years from now, when reminicing to his 14 children from 10 different women, Marty B can talk about how he tied the 103 shutout record with ten fucking shots on goal.

Goose was probably hanging himself in the press box, Chris was probably crying. And Patty was sitting on the bench thinking ' I conditioned for this crap?' I swear that's what he said to Ryan at the end of the game.

And Mike Harrington did have an interesting point about Patty...I know I always go off about him, but is last night really worth spending much time on? Especially since the Sabres didn't. Anyways, Mike said that conditioning Patty all weekend to bench him for a week is insanely stupid, and it is.

Apparently he's going to play against the Rangers. It's a shame, since Shelby and I are going to the Chicago game (I don't like being seperated from her, I don't). I think Patty only starting on the second of back to back nights isn't helping anyone, since he already will have a tired team....







Shelby just told me that Lindy was bitching on the radio about Jason and Roy. Thank youuuuuuuu! Frankly, I'm surprised they haven't found a way to blame Patty yet...or Drewseph.


Speaking of my wonderful long haired blondie, her and I have a special surprise coming later in the week....and unlike the Sabres, we shall not disappoint.

Omggggggg People!

Today in my speech class, I had to give a presentation on the pro-choice movement as part of my final (part of the trick was we didn't know our topic until we got up there). 

At the end of the speech, people were allowed to ask questions. As you can imagine, based on the topic, it's basically getting torn apart at the waist. 

One thing I had to keep repeating during my responses, as well as throughout the speech itself, was that pro-choice doesn't mean pro-abortion, it means you're just all for whatever people want to do with their bodies. 

Then I realized....

My class is a lot like ignorant Sabres fans. You know, the ones who don't read too much past a headline, assume that this means that and the like. 

I recently had to delete yet another comment from the bully known as doomerang (bully being there is no site, just a name made up clearly to look all tough and hot shit on someone elses blog). He went on and on about how our back up goaltender lost to AHL teams. 

Because Patty was totally familiar with the Pirates, right? He had totally played with them before, knew their style, had time to get together with them, see how they all blended together. 

OH WAIT!

My bad...

Lets take another trip back to his 44 shots on net Friday night, which earned him first star. That's certainly more than Ryan did against the Rangers ( NOT INSULTING RYAN NOT INSULTING RYAN NOT INSULTING RYAN NOT INSULTING RYAN...he just seems to be everyones hero) but Ryans not getting his ass kicked for that loss. 

Honestly people, if you're going to use enough of what little brain power you have going when reading this to type a comment, don't sell yourself short, actually read! Go beyond the first sentence, I know you can do it!
