There you go, Buffalo.

There’s your Cup, Slugs Sabres fans. Enjoy it, and thanks for not forcing the Raleigh PD to work overtime tonight. My husband would also like to thank your team for saving him money by forcing my exile from the RBC for the rest of the season as the Official Jinx of Your Carolina Hurricanes.
328 is a fun section, by the way. If you heard “KILL IT…KILL IT DEAD!” and “CHEATERS! NEVER! WIN!”, that was Section 328.

The evening was not bad, game result aside–and why the hell did we re-sign Snuggles Tanabe again? Does his wife still think he’s a future Norris Trophy winner? Tim Gleason has my approval, also. It’s because he’s like the anti-Snuggles. When he put my fellow Nodak Paul Gaustad (I think it was Goose–somebody please correct me if I’m wrong) on his ass with one hand? I was in awe.

Scott Walker shall henceforth be known as Remo Williams–why? Because he’s got that whole Fred Ward thing going on. Don’t argue with me, I know what I’m doing.

The banner-raising ceremony was pretty neat. Since I was exiled from the playoffs (*sigh*), I kinda had to live vicariously through people that were there and whatever stuff was up on Youtube and the Canes’ website. It all brought tears to my eyes and brought me to a state of “caring, but not caring” about the game. Did I want the Hurricanes to win? Yes. Did it hurt that they didn’t win? Yes. But you know what? We are still the 05-06 Cup Champs, and that will never ever be taken away from us by anyone.

Mahalo.

    Guess Who?

    Well, it’s a new year my dear and the chances of the “lamiacs” celebrating another Cup win are about as good as Barry Melrose getting a decent hair cut. Get used to Buffalo celebrating wins in your house because this is our year my dear! Looking forward to bouncing you out of the playoffs and buying all your playoff tickets in the spribg…that is if you make the playoffs.

    Bye for Now,
    Your Favorite Sabre Fan

    AQ,

    IT was a helluva hockey game. and hHad the feeling of Game 8 of the ECF. Matt remarked to me in IM afterwards that we may have just caught a preview of the 2007 ECF’s, it was that intense.

    Good showing by everyone. I’ll have my analysis up tonight when I get home from work. 1 down, 65 to go (I figure they need to win 50 in the regular season). :)

    Ta,

    Thanks Tom.

    Hey Troll–does Erie County Medical Center know that you’re posting your garbage on their nickel?

    You just saved me a posting on Tanabe. I call for Babchuk.

    Me thinks Gleason pressed a bit, but I liked what I saw. Cole, Staal, Whitney picked right up eh?

    Great game. If not for a couple of body part deflections it’s a Hurricane victory.

    Ha! And if not for four injured Buffalo defensemen last spring, the ‘Canes would be just another team. But you know you’ve made it, kids, when your star player can’t get breathed on without getting a penalty called the other way…never knew Staal needed so much help from the boys in stripes.

    And if not for a bunch of Philadelphia injuries last spring, the Sabres would have gone down like a five-dollar hooker.

    Fixed that for you.

    I’ll tell you what AQ, I think you’ve got a mind for hockey and a body for sin so I’ll play nice for now. I dig the new look of the website…hope to see more of you in the future.

    I’ll believe that when you finally show some class and come out from under your rock after your team gets pwned. You know, providing a good witness for your desert god and all.

    Not that you’ll do it.

    Your full team had to go to shootout to beat a Hurricanes team that was decimated by injury the other night.

    See how silly that sounds?

    Congratulations, you won the game that doesn’t really matter. We won the Cup.

    Wanna see a picture?
