It's finally happening... the end of the Bat Curse, Cup to follow

I had the idea awhile back. That Lorentz's killing of the bat launched a curse on the Sabres franchise.

Bat people agree.

But their answer is not enough. Jim has to release a rehabbed bat at Canalside, on the ice as close as possible to where he slayed the original pesk. It's the only way.

I am about to email these fellas and singlehandedly start us down the path of an inevitable championship.

The Joker conquered Batman.

Apparently, you missed the memo.

I knew it was something that was keeping the Sabres from glory. I just couldn't put my finger on it.

Contact made. Enthusiasm.

It's gonna be up to Jim now, I suspect.

Good luck getting this solved before fly fishing season is over.

Bat curse? Sure, why not. 

I'm still waiting for Taro Tsujimoto to suit up and score his first goal.

I think it's gonna take a bit more than Jim Lorentz releasing a rehabbed bat.

 

Perhaps.... a new team name... the Buffalo Bats?  And maybe put a belfry in the Key Bank Center?

I would have believed much more in this curse if Terry Pegula had bought the team in 1976. 

Honestly, I am not sure that there is any curse worse than one Terrance Pegula. In fact, if they reshot Angels in the Outfield but made it about the Pegula lead Sabres, we would STILL miss the playoffs and the angels would demand a trade.
