Run With Scissors

So now that the sabres are down 3-2 in the series, I can only imagine the panick back home. I posted this on a blog this morning, it bears repeating…

I moved out of buffalo/rochester last october, and I have to say living away from some of all this is nice. I watch all the sabres games (and bills), just enjoying them without that desperation edge of “this game means everything to the town” feeling that just gives people ulcers back home. Like you all said, this is the most fun (and talented team) I’ve watched come out of buffalo. They’ve played an incredible season and are built for the long term. There’s no shame for the city if it had to end tonight (I do like our chances tho).

For any of you that dont read bill simmons (the sports guy), you should. He rails against the old boston media who does nothing but antagonize the fans with gloom and doom just to boost ratings. This year isnt wide right, it isn’t no goal. It’s a great team that went from nowhere to the eastern finals (at least) and played a hell of a year.

Go sabres!

There’s few things more satisfying then blowing out the flyers and knocking them out of the playoffs, watching drunk fools in orange pout in the stands. I tell ya, if I could just bottle their tears and sell it on ebay.

Ok, so most of you have heard that I’m coming back to visit soon, here’s the rough itineray at the moment.

Arrive thurs in Blo, stay there until friday night, when I’ll come out to rochester (poker game, plates, Coyotes, golf, some combination?)

Saturday morning, Katie’s graduation. Saturday afternoon-> night in Rochester

Sunday, Mother’s day in buffalo.

Monday - ?

Tuesday - head back
