It has meant so much for team success. Also, he's dumb.

Well?

Why?

I don't drink. How I avoided that as a Bills fan 1975 to circa 2006 and a Sabres fan 1975 to present day, I will never know. Now answer the question. Why aren't you LaLa-ing?

I stopped LaLa-ing. When was the last time you LaLa-ed?

The winning field goal setup was terrifying. And exquisite.

Even then...

At the personal care home where I work, we had nine folks at the beginning of our watch party. One remained until the very end. Put your hands together for Carol!

When is Sabres Night (or Day) at the stadium?

I was about to type it. Carrying the water must be exhausting for some.

Is Sabres Media that clever?

That was a stretch.

And I thought you were a romantic. I wrote "championship moment," not championship.

Disagree. None of those moments felt like a championship moment bc they were moments on the way to what we were convinced was a championship. RJ Night was different. I was there. You could convince yourself this is what it's going to feel like. Not so for those playoff moments in 06, or dozens of others down through time. Of course, that's just me.

I've been sitting on a "Four Strikes and I'm Out?" post, and one of the strikes obviously is Rick. I almost certainly was a bigger fan of Rick than the Sabres (if the two can even be considered distinct). I was by leaps and bounds a bigger fan of Rick than of the NHL. I wouldn't walk across my street to see an NHL game not involving the Sabres. They did play one awesome and direction-filled and passion-filled game in front of him. On his banner night. Of course he didn't get to call it. Until the Sabres win a Cup, that win is as close to a championship moment as we'll ever get.

No jealousy a'tall. Not of mouse potatoes who think they can draw up a peeper better than NHL coaches, anyway. The person I'm jealous of is the grandma in the Dunn sweater and the tasseled hat she's worn since Day One. She loves the team, every team, relishes every win and lets every loss roll off her back.

The analogies I've used over the years are many. But can you imagine being a fan of a band, and you enhance your enjoyment of being a fan of that band by rewriting all of their songs so they don't suck?

I'll get there. But, really, it's not our job. I do understand why some fans would look at our front office, our coaches and our roster and say, "Only I can fix it."

Some of you guys should put your name in. No, seriously, it's amazing you never got beyond SabreSpace.

At least troops are not in the streets, prelude to never having another election.

He admitted he didn't know a hockey puck from a meatball. He never coached toddlers in O-leen.

Elsewhere, TP announced he will purchase the hospital's beer league team, the C Diffs.

He passed... and it was intercepted. Ptooeeyyy! Enough with this garbage! Too soon? Taking me back to days when the Bills and Sabres meant so much more to me. You hung on every word, because words were a rarer commodity. Chil'ren, this was before the Internet.
