Whilst I'm not really crazy at all.....





.....about Bucky Gleason, about once every year or two he'll make an intelligent statement (Remember: This is the same guy who tried to run Doug Flutie out of Buffalo and who just couldn't shut up about how Rob "The Statue" Johnson was going to bring the Bills, like, twenty superbowls, end world hunger and do it all without breaking a sweat). Today, he wrote something that I have to just simply nod my head and agree with:





Yep....Ottawa is simply the better team. That's all there is to it. The Sabres are a decent hockey team, but I mean, Ottawa crushed Pittsburgh in five games (the same Pittsburgh team with all of those high-flying rookies that kept giving Buffalo fits during the regular season) and The Sabres had to claw and fight and dig deep into the reserve tank to dispatch the New York Rangers in six games. This Rangers squad was NOT composed of world-beaters, either......





People like Drury, Connely and especially Pominville just are nowhere to be found! And whass with al this fancy-ass tricky passing shit?? Guys!!!!!! IT'S SIMPLE!!! JUST SHOOT THE PUCK....thass all....just simply shoot the puck! A garbage goal off of a mishandled rebound.......tip-in (seen several of those this postseason).....lucky shot that seared through a total screen.....whatever!!! It's NOT brain surgery - You CAN'T win if you don't shoot the puck!!


Mike Grier....where are you? At least you showed up every night, ready to play...... and he wouldn't take the kinda shit that we're taking now like Daniel Alfredsson's cheap cross-check into the boards on Ales Kotalik in game two. I swear, Bryan Murray, Hitler-On-Ice himself, puts his players up to this shit.....(here is a vid of Bryan Murray participating in the Senator's pre-game skate)

Well...it was a good season...I mean, NOW it goes to Ottawa for two games.....that should be about it!



As a funny aside, Ottawa Senators goalkeeper Ray Emery (a lovely, upstanding citizen who used to have an image of convicted rapist Mike Tyson on his helmet) had stated that there really isn't much to do in Western New York on nights off!

I myself have never been to Ottawa, but a friend of mine, after driving up to Montreal and suddenly finding out that there were literally no hotel rooms at all available (Molson Indy Grand Prix or some auto race shit like that) decided to pack up the car, and try Ottawa......

.....he said quote: "The entire city is very much like a convalescent home, where everything wraps up for the evening at around 4pm......"

But my Colorado Rockies are in last place in the National League West in mid-May! This is good, simply because usually, at this time, they are in the lead in the N.L. West division and, at about June 1st, they begin their slow death descent and by September 30th, the finish in last place....





.....who knows? This season, maybe the opposite??

And Bills mini-camp for rookies began this week....they're actually supposed to contend this year......wow....imagine that....

Not much else.......more later....
