Angela, being the great lady friend she is, bought me the Godfather for the wii for my Birthday. Myelf, being the lazy sloth I’m known to be, didnt play it for a month, instead spending time trying to rewrite the sabres season on NHL 2007 and playing with the xbox live arcade (plus some online card game for money, lots of that). Anyway, I finally started playing it this weekend and fell in love with it. I only casually played the GTA series (mainly I lived vicariously through Berg’s attempt to virtually drive & crash cars), but this game has me. The mash of GTA style missions and large 3D world coupled with the movie’s storyline is a great mix, and the wiimote controls are great (simulated baseball bat, strangling, thowing corrupt police off the roof, all great stuff). If you have a chance, i highly recommend the game.

Well that was a rough 24 hours for the sabres, losing both captains. Before the playoffs this year, I figured that Drury would be overvalued because of his national exposure, and we should work to keep Briere. However, after their respective playoff performances, I changed course and figured we should keep drury and let Briere go (mainly because we have plenty of small skilled forwards and could use the $ saved to diversify with a big defensemen or power forward). Sadly, Drury wanted no part of staying in Buffalo and Briere got to free agency with a monster deal (prediction for his stats next year, 27-45-72, +5, and a lot of disapointed Flyers fans who realized they overspent for a 70 point a year player).
In retrospect, we should have made a bigger run at Briere, we really didn’t try to hard to resign him at all. Going forward, we have plenty of cap space to get that winger or d man (Souray from the Canadians would alleviate all my worries), so I’ll withhold my big worries until November.
