Sabres Won't Win

March 29, 2007 @ 09:02


I caught a few minutes of the Bullpen on the Fan yesterday morning and Buffalo sportswriter Jim Kelly was the guest.

The subject was the Buffalo Sabres and their attitude as the playoffs approach. Kelly said there's concern because of the way the Sabres have played lately, and even greater concern if they happen to meet the Leafs in the first round of the playoffs.

Kelly reasons that the Leafs have probably given the Sabres more trouble than any other team this year by controlling Buffalo's shot total and applying a physical style of play that bothers the Sabres.

Well I'm here to give a prediction right now, and it's got nothing to do with the Leafs because I still don't think the Leafs are going to make the playoffs.

This is strictly a Buffalo prediction - the Sabres will not win the Stanley Cup. I don't think they're big enough or strong enough to survive through four rounds of the playoffs, and knowing the way the NHL works, as soon as the playoffs start the officiating will change and the Sabres will be screwed.

All the goofy little calls that are made now, calls that benefit teams like the Sabres, will probably disappear in the playoffs and it will be back to the old ways and Buffalo won't be able to handle it.

This prospect doesn't make me forlorn because as I've stated on many other occasions the Ottawa Senators are the only team in hockey that I despise more that the Sabres.

As for Ottawa, I have big concern over them this year.

Interesting, Freddie. I was at the Seneca casino/hotel in Niagara Falls, NY last night and watched the Sabres in one of the casino bars. Nobody...I mean NOBODY seemed to care. I engaged a couple of fellas at the blackjack table during shuffles and they told me they expected them out in the first or second round. But Christ they still love the Bills. I think the Buffalo media make more of the team than a seasoned hockey guy like yerself or my blackjack buddies do.

Huh? What are you two talking about. Freddie I respect your hockey views but read what you and Stafford are saying. Stafford, I dont know where you were playing but if it was anywhere close to a bar then you would hear the cheers going with every goal. And as for you Freddie, The NHL did call penalties throughout the playoffs last year and did a very consistent job from the regular to the post season. They have been pretty consistent throughout this season. Of course Leaf fans would not have noticed that last year because oops they had no reason to watch the playoffs. Buffalo could very well have the deepest team in the playoffs look at what their fourth line will be going into the first round, Max, Connelly and Paille All of them can score.
This team just finished a very successful road trip and came back and spanked NJ last night with two of their returning injured players scoring. We all know that the guys that were up can play so injuries are not a concern. And Freddie if you think they are not tough enough, They can throw in Mair or Peters when every they choose to to keep a team honest but lets face it, the playoffs are about hockey not goonery. And as far as hitting this team, you cant hit what you cant catch.
Mike, Buffalo Boy

Buffalo Boy...well it WAS the Seneca casino in Niagara. Maybe if I'd mentioned the Caledonia standoff there'd be more interest.

Lohan blames a part of her inconveniences around the tabloids idealizing hard partying personalities, claiming “I'd personally idolize those girls … the Britneys and whatever. And I will be like, I wish to wind up as that.” Lindsay Lohan continued to enunciate, “I see where that has gotten me now,” she says, “and I don’t like it.”

I need to say, as much as I appreciated reading what you had to convey, I couldnt help but lose attention after a while. Its as if you had a terrific grasp on the subject matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you need to think about this from more than 1 angle. Or maybe you should not generalise so very much. Its better if you think of what others may have to say as opposed to just going for the gut reaction to the topic. Consider modifying your own thought process and giving others who might look over this the benefit of the doubt.

really does have enough daring to tell Sanchez by no means add more mayonnaise for the corned beef on rye? He is from Miami. You'd feel that he'd understand.

Might be Sanchez was merely envious that War Criminals from the administration would not call him "invaluable". That kind of rejection can certainly impact.

Lindsay Lohan “In case I were the alcoholic people says I am, then setting a [scram[]|] bracelet on might have ended me up in detoxification, inside the er, because I would also have to come down from everything that individuals say I’m taking plus my father states I am taking – so that says something, simply because I'm fine.”
