Reasons I'm rooting for THE DUCKS

Plenty of reasons I'm rooting for the Anaheim Ducks to win the Stanley Cup...
Long time Sabre Brad MAY DAY May, Williamsville native TODD MARCHANT (I still
go to his local barber...but don't hold that against me), and of course #30 Buffalo Sabres
RYAN MILLER'S brother DREW MILLER just called up from The Providence Bruins of the
AHL (and did a great job in the Ducks win in game 1 of the Finals on Monday). I would be a
little sad if DREW got his name on the Cup before RYAN (although I don't think RYAN would
mind).

Go Ducks (for this series ONLY...really still GO SABRES)!

THANK YOU SABRES!

When most of the dust has settled after last Saturday's LOSS, I have to reflect back to what Hockey Hall Of Fame writer JIM KELLY said "we may never see a season like this past one!"

It should be a very interesting off-season with so many players' contracts UP, and remember
THE COACH and GM'S contracts are up too!

THANKS AGAIN SABRES!!

SABRES STILL ALIVE!

Will it be like the BOSTON RED SOX of a few years ago, or just putting off the inevitable with
last night's SABRES Win? I'm sure NBC (and WGRZ/Channel 2) is happy they'll have a game on Saturday afternoon at 2pm (and Hockey Night in Canada's DON CHERRY will be part of the
NBC Broadcast talking about Buffalo as a GREAT Hockey town). Here's a sobering thought from CBC...in the MODERN Hockey era in years that end in 7 either DETROIT or a CANADIAN Team has won the Stanley Cup!

Still...GO SABRES!!!

I'm guessing you really have SABRES FEVER now!

I know, my prediction of beating the 3 NYC area teams to advance to the CUP Finals was a little off, but I'm sure you'll agree that to beat OTTAWA (Again) to get to the FINALS is very tasty!

I had to laugh when a producer (from out sister station) called The CBC to see about The SABRES being broadcast on CBC (or CBLT officially) before the Islander's series they in effect told him WE HAVE NO INTEREST IN SHOWING ANY SABRES GAMES (and they went on to broadcast the NJ Devils/Tampa Bay Lightning on the nights a Canadian Team didn't play...and NEVER showed any SABRES/RANGERS games). CBC will now broadcast EVERY Sabres game from now on (even when we WIN THE CUP)!!

GO SABRES!!!

BUFFALO BILL DRAFT PICKS

Certainly with The SABRES dominating the sports headlines, I've got to give
kudos to THE BILLS and their picks in the NFL Draft this past weekend. It looks like
MARSHAWN LYNCH the running back from CAL and PAUL POSLUSZNY (puhs-LUHZ'-nee...we'll all be saying his name PERFECTLY by opening day) linebacker from PENN STATE will be able to make an immediate impact by opening day September 9th If all goes according to plan we'll have forgetten WILLIS MaGAHEE and TAKEO SPIKES/LONDON FLETCHER-BAKER by mid-season and be talking about THE LYNCH PIN and the NEW SHANE CONLAN. The BILLS 3rd Pick QB TRENT EDWARDS from STANFORD is leaving some fans scratching their collective heads wondering why the team didn't address needs like cornerback and another linebacker but hopefully TRENT'S pick will work out too (you know the old saying though HINDSIGHT IS ALWAYS 20/20).

Still...GO SABRES!
