The Ten Best Sports Moments of the Year

By Ryan on December 31, 2008

by Ryan
Always end on a high note, right? This probably won’t be our last post of the year, but we wanted to at least give the impression that 2008 was an enjoyable sports year. I mean, at least 4 teams wind up happy per year, right?
10. Sabres trade for Craig Rivet.
You knew something was up when the [...]

A View from the Roost: The Smoking Gun

By Ryan on December 31, 2008

by Ryan
I’ve been examining the work of Bill Wippert for hours, searching for photographic evidence of the train wreck I saw tonight. There are many ways in which to look back at a hockey game, and oftentimes the most effective method is a picture. While your memory may shift and fade over time, and a final [...]

The Company Line

By Jon on December 30, 2008

The word of the day: continuity. Ralph Wilson wants continuity. Chris Kelsay wants continuity. Duke Preston wants continuity. What do the fans want? Definitely not continuity.
In other news, Lindy Ruff says the Sabres need to stick to the system.
Hey… at least we get another year’s use of the “We got Dick for less…” tag.
UPDATE: Try reading a few [...]

The AO Show

By Ryan on December 30, 2008

by Ryan

A note to Sabres fans: please don’t boo Alexander Ovechkin tonight. He doesn’t need the extra motivation to score, and unlike Miroslav Satan he actually can.
Should be an interesting night down at the Arena, with Goose and Gerbe back in action. Maybe this means there will be some semblance of a forecheck, which will be [...]

The Ten Worst Sports Moments of the Year

By Ryan on December 30, 2008

by Ryan
Everyone releases a top ten list of some sort around this time of year. Why not do two? Tomorrow I will run down the best, but we should get the worst out of the way, I suppose. These may not be in any particular order, but they all weren’t very good times for me.
10. Eight [...]

Great Moments in Anonymity

By Ryan on December 30, 2008

There is always a downside to showing up in Google searches. When people are actually looking for your site it is a positive, but sometimes people are just looking for trouble. Most of these come from searches such as “game use russian penguin” or “mike ryan quarterback shirtless”. You know, practical stuff like that. The [...]

Sort of Says it All

By Ryan on December 29, 2008

I feel like we are in a holding pattern of some sort until news of Dick Jauron’s future is disclosed. Already we’ve seen some coaches get the axe today, so maybe it’s not that far away. You could argue that some coaches better than him have been let go, including Eric Mangini. Say what you [...]

About Saturday Night

By Ryan on December 29, 2008

by Ryan

FACT: Clarke MacArthur has the same amount of goals (10) as Jason Pominville.
FACT: The Sabres gave up two goals in the final 1:34 of play.
FACT: The Sabres got two points.
Which fact is most important to you? That third one should be most important. That’s the one that really matters, I suppose. Still, it really feels like there [...]

One Last Time

By Ryan on December 28, 2008

by Ryan
Your Dick Jauron Losing Face for the last time this season. It’s been fun watching it progress from… actually, it’s always the same.

I would hope this would be the last time we ever have to post something like this, but I’m not taking anything for granted. If Ralph Wilson is satisfied with another three 7-9 [...]

Gameday Prep: Bills vs. Patriots

By Ryan on December 28, 2008

by Ryan
Here are the games we get today, and here are the playoff scenarios. However,we’re doing the gameday prep a bit different today. Do you remember the last time the Bills beat New England? It looked a little something like this:

I think that’s all you need to know. Forget all the talk about saving Dick Jauron’s job, [...]

Flat

By Ryan on December 27, 2008

by Ryan
This picture sums pretty much everything about last night:

Well okay, this one does too.

I think it’s pretty clear the differences between the two teams. The Washington Capitals pinned their hopes on a superstar making a spectacular play, while the Sabres had theirs riding on an utter disappointment getting really, really lucky. Is that really where the Sabres [...]
