The Snozzberries Taste Like Snozzberries

The Snozzberries Taste Like Snozzberries

I was really hoping the Sabres would grace us with a game that was easy to watch and even easier to talk about.

Silly me for thinking wishfully.
I really have no idea where to start with this team. Yet again they come up short by a goal after starting off like garbage. They played with a lack of [...]

Great Toaster, or Greatest Toaster?

Great Toaster, or Greatest Toaster?

I have something about Ovechkinpalooza coming shortly, but I thought this was too good to pass up. Via twoeightnine’s Twitter:

The Greatest Toaster in the History of Mankind
I am not currently in the market for a toaster, but when I am I’ll be giving this bad boy a hard look. Ignore the fact that it most likely toasts [...]

Oh hey there. We haven’t talked much since the trade deadline, have we? I’d love to catch up, but right now I’m having a hard time stringing thoughts together for extended periods of time. We have plenty to talk about, but let’s start with this:
- I spent the majority of this past weekend in Albany for [...]

Giant Beavers and Announcements

By Ryan on March 1, 2010

- Okay seriously, what the hell was going on with the closing ceremonies last night? By the time they rolled around I was no longer bitter about the Gold Medal game and I was still completely baffled by what went on. Let’s leave aside musical tastes and talk about the variety show/crazy train of inflatable [...]

Periodic Table of Hockey

Periodic Table of Hockey

By Ryan on March 1, 2010

With 3:20 left in the third period, Erik Johnson tries to get too fancy with the puck. Sidney Crosby picks it up and turns on the jets, and by the time he hits the opposite blue line he’s all alone on Ryan Miller.
Or so we thought. As Crosby begins to dangle and Ryan Miller [...]

We will have the audio from our first podcast up shortly, but first some links:
This is merely a public service at this point, because everyone should know that Boner is missing in Vancouver. We will save you that phallic jokes because this is important: a Growing Pains icon is missing in a foreign land. Keep your [...]

It’s Back!

It’s Back!

By Ryan on February 17, 2010

These may be the only Sabres you see play for a few weeks, but there is some good news on the NHL front: Mirtle brought back his 90+ Points or Bust!
Okay so that’s not nearly as exciting as it seemed in my head, but it’s a good sign nonetheless. Mirtle says the Sabres need to [...]

- On Sunday I went to Syracuse and saw the Cuse/Louisville game. I would blame myself for the loss, but they really did play some terrible basketball for the majority of the game. It was also odd to see a huge crowd (largest all season) sit on their hands for the entire first half. I [...]

The End?

The End?

By Ryan on February 15, 2010

By the looks of things around here it would appear that the Sabres are done playing hockey for a few weeks. I suppose that’s true, but I hope you don’t expect the Roost to go quiet over that time. Chris still owes us a post about Saturday’s game, I took a nice little road trip [...]

Here are a few links to keep you going on a Monday. I’d like to do this daily, but I’m thinking maybe a twice a week deal might work. Monday and Friday? How does that sound? Good? Okay.
- I have a Bandits post coming, I promise. It won’t be your regular recap, which has already been [...]

Since I can’t seem to get anything written today, let’s play a game:

Name that mullet of failure. Hopefully he keeps this look around for a while or shaves it all off and looks like John Malkovich for the rest of his life. Either or.

On Water Fowl and Patriotism

By Ryan on January 1, 2010

In the summer of 2006, my friend Dave started working for Delaware North. Eventually that job included working at HSBC Arena, which meant serving people in the luxury boxes and not watching a whole lot of hockey. Still, it was a job at HSBC Arena, and the Sabres were going to play hockey for the [...]
