If you read my April 9th BLOG The SABRES playoff series is shaping up nicely (beating The Isles, Rangers, Devils and DOMINIC in the CUP Finals...still NO JINXING here).
It was nice to see (almost a "crying moment"...but I would have done that anyway to keep my
eyes hydrated) Mike Greer of The SAN JOSE SHARKS last week after his Team eliminated NASHVILLE to advance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the camera followed him in the traditional shaking of hands (quickly and gingerly) with members of The Predators until he reached J.P. DUMONT of Nashville and they hugged (with real sincerity) and spoke for a while (of course both being last year's SABRES). Nice to see former teammates still sort of like family.
Are the SABRES overshadowing the BILLS DRAFT this weekend (more on that upcoming)?

SPORTS FATE or just coincidence?
There's no one more STAR STRUCK than I am...once at a convention in Los Angeles I was with my brother at LAX airport and I would kid him every time someone would come down the
escalator that would look like a celebrity, I would tell him LOOK THAT'S CHER or THAT'S JOHNNY CARSON, until JOHNNY CARSON did in fact come down the escalator with his wife
on his way to Europe on vacation. It was like a "cry wolf" until JOHNNY got close enough for
my brother to confirm it WAS actually JOHNNY CARSON.
Yesterday while in FUDDRUCKERS (not a Shameless plug, although it COULD BE) I saw
BUFFALO BILLS Special Teams Ace STEVE TASKER (#89-and the ONLY Special Teams player and Buffalo Bill to be named MVP at a PRO BOWL) come in to dine! A few minutes later, to my surprise, BILLS/NFL HALL OF FAMER #12 JIM KELLY came (and JIM and STEVE weren't dining together). I so wanted to go to the CASINO and bet number 89 or 12 on the Roulette table, but realized I DON'T BET!
By the way, FUDDRUCKERS is a great place to see STARS...I once dined 1 booth away from
SABRES #12 ALES KOTALIK just after he got back from the Olympics! Please let me know if there's a place around town where you see celebrities...I'll be there!

My DREAM matchups for the SABRES 1st STANLEY CUP
Now that SABRES FEVER has taken firm hold of WNY my DREAM
matchups for the 1st STANLEY CUP for Buffalo would have been
beating TORONTO or MONTREAL in the first round, OTTAWA in the 2nd round, and NJ DEVILS to advance to beat DOMINIC HASEK and
The DETROIT RED WINGS. Now that Toronto and Montreal are OUT how about this DREAM scenario (that is VERY POSSIBLE)...SABRES BEAT ALL the NYC Area TEAMS...NY Islanders in the first round, NY Rangers in the 2nd round (if they beat ATLANTA the Sabres WOULD play the Rangers in the 2nd round), and NJ DEVILS for the EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS, then of course Dominic Hasek and The Detroit Red Wings to win the CUP (it's your CINDERELLA story for the BUFFALO SABRES 1st STANLEY CUP)!
GO SABRES!!!

The STANLEY CUP FINALS GO THROUGH BUFFALO!
Congrats to the SABRES for clinching The Northeast Division AND EASTERN CONFERENCE
last night! If you didn't know, the last time the Team won the EASTERN CONFERENCE was back in 79/80 when SCOTTY BOWMAN coached #22 LINDY RUFF! It's interesting too that
last year's Stanley Cup finalists CAROLINA and EDMONTON won't make the playoffs this
year for the first time in NHL history that the previous year's final two teams didn't make the playoffs the following year !
Again...GO SABRES!!!
