“Where are you, Sabres?” An open song to the franchise I love

Where are you, Sabres?
Why can't I find you?
Why have you gone away?
Where is the joy
You used to bring me?
Why can't I hear that goalhorn play?
My world is changing
I'm re-arranging
Does that mean my Sabres fandom changes too?

Where are you, Sabres?
Do you remember
The playoffs you used to know?
I'm not the same one
See what the time's done
Is that why you have let them go?

Hockey is here
Everywhere, oh
Hockey is here
If you care, oh
If there are wins on the ice and your mind
You will feel like Sabres all the time

I feel you, Sabres
I know I've found you
You never fade away
The joy of hockey
Stays here inside us
Fills each and every heart with love

Where are you, Sabres?
Fill your heart with love

Remember the wild run the Sabres were on when Terry was introduced as owner? Every game was critical. They were trying to do something almost unprecedented. A cut before a faceoff to the new owner. Back to the ice holding a glass of wine talking to someone else in the suite not interested in the game.

There's your money shot.

I don't think a single player in that locker room cares about being a Buffalo Sabre. The jersey has no meaning any more. The problem is they've been losing for so long it's next to impossible to even bring in an old Sabre guy who can show them what it meant, hold their respect and do the things needed to bring it back. 

As I said before, they shouldn't have let Peca go. He might have been a guy who could help. Housley certainly couldn't. The guys that really know, like Rick Dudley for example, are getting a little old for the job. He should have been named director of hockey operations right from the start imo. Too late now. It's so deeply broken I'm not sure there is a way out. 

Nice poem though. Put some music on it and send it to Terry. A Merry Christmas for him.
