Victory

Today is almost like the best day ever. I’ve been hit with hot weather and awesome Sabres news from several sources.

*Thanks to the very cool Wrap Around Curl, I’ve learned that Goose is the new spokessabre for the Portland Winterhawks. He wasn’t just named… he was appointed.  I would move to west coast for Paul to [sporadically] be my hockey coach. They are oh so wise for choosing him. Best spokesperson period.

*Sabres staff interview the favorite child. Just seeing purple walls behind him makes it feel like I’m there. Sigh. (P.S. watch for the very subtle security man)

*R-hott Rhett Warrener is still zexy. Here is your Christmas in July:

Max hair screams lolcat.

*Ales Kotalik signed with the yucky Rangers. Great. They are stealing our men. NYC, that is way harsh and a really bitchy thing to do. You will never take Thomas alive. Insert threat here.

*At the tender age of twenty one, Mike Weber had a “tough year“ in rehab (he clearly can’t live without me). Defensemens planning a comeback tour more wicked than Britney. Good luck with that.

Mike Weber: Just like a cirrrrcus

*You know that recent wild population explosion of black bears in WNY? Well, turns out one or possibly several are hanging out near my house. I get that, “the family atmosphere” factor. While I see Cali is bankrupt and so over paying for the King of Pop’s funeral, I’d rather they migrate to Boston. Oh… right…

Nevermind. I get this reason too.

*Bruce Smith got a DUI and was featured on TMZ. Raise your hand if you’re not shocked.

Please Hold

So…

I may head over to NU this week to see the future Sabres. I may even try to make another diary/saga out of it. It may even make sense this time. However, I can’t make any promises about either.

P.S. I didn’t have to attend jury duty. That was cool.

P.P.S. Remember when I said that the top video on NHL.com was about Darcy’s thoughts? Today it was ice girls from Californ.i.a. and their… thoughts.

While In Rome

My brother has a soccer tournament coming up in Delaware Park so we decided to check it out and see which field he was playing at. I personally have never been to Delaware Park so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s not too often I travel past the HSBC mostly because my school is completely in the opposite direction. My brother never experienced any sort of city life so he was pretty much freaking out the whole time and convinced we were going to be attacked. Because you know those Canisius lads are oh so scary…

Elmwood and Allentown are fun to people watch. I saw several celebrities such as Paris Hilton. She was walking her dog. She literally looked like this:

(Minus Kathy)

While my mother and I went into Cowpok, we parked near Cozumel. Yes, and of course there are jokes about “dos cervezas” involved but thats besides the point. I spotted this dog which looked exactly like Rowlf – but a little furrier:

(Minus the piano and candles)

It was sooo cute. I have no idea what kind of dog it was either. I’ve never seen such a thing.

There was a hacky sack competition going on as well. I believe Vin Diesel was participating.

(Minus the felt tip, add a pencil)

Well, that was my fun evening and unfortunately I did not see any Ryan Millers. But really, I just wanted to post this. You know how when you go to Bills games and you get really cold? They have this new thing called the snuggest… I think it will be huge, Buffalo, huuuggggaahhh.

New Things Developing

1. I’ve been thinking over this Steve Montador situation. I’ve come to the conclusion that Darcy totally knows how to pick out hot, tough guys. If I can forget that Joe Thornton played in Boston, surely a new Sabre can overcome such a nasty feat.
2. In addition to helping host the World JRs and the Sabres Development Camp, NU is hosting the men’s CHA Tournament in March. Dang. They’re classy broads.
3. “…But good news ladies, Jon’s single!” -E! news post Jon and Kate Plus 8 scandal
4. Rick Nash has signed with the Blue Jackets for… ever. Still not as long as Hossa… (You can TWSS me on that.)
5. Today on NHL.com, one of the top videos is Darcy talking about his thoughts. I’m just wondering how did that ever get under top videos? I think it’s those glasses. He always wears glasses on draft day.
6. Happy 4th of July! Check out this crazy food/fireworks video featuring peeps. It’s a little less disturbing after their heads get blown off.

July Rain

I was sitting here watching Lords of Dogtown with this sudden urge to skateboard and spray paint obscenities onto buildings and I find out Spacek has been traded away to Montreal.

WHAT?

I know and I don’t even know how to skateboard! What will we do about our “situation?” Tragic times indeed. I’m a little surprised he went rather than Lydman or Tallinder. Well, no. Thats a lie. Spacek was money.

THEN…

I find out we have some dude from Boston? What is this? I’ve deliberately ignored the Bruins forever and now we have one on our team. Another lie. Steve Montador is not horrible. But our Spacek! Remember that awesomely bad accent? Remember when he was named captain and we heard he called a team meeting? Sigh.

Oh yeah. What up with Chicago signing Hossa for twelve years? He’s like 30 or something. No joke, he’s a good player but in twelve years he’s going to need someone to spoon feed him. Bada bing.

On a lighter note, Development Camp is back at NU next week. That will never cease to make me happy. Plus, Our Lady Peace is playing a free concert tonight.

Links I Would Otherwise Force You To See

*Sidney Crosby sleeping with his sexy new lover. Aww. (Deadspin)

*Terrell Owens apologizes in advance. Thank you Daniel Tosh for being awesome. Thank you TO for being so awesome. Tosh.O is like a less cool but still kinda funny version of the Soup. (Comedy Central)

*48 hot summer fashion tips for… the guys. Lightweight, sexy. (CH)

*Photographic evidence for why you were late to work this morning – other than reading Sabres blogs.

*Follow the Philadelphia Flyers on their quest to make us hate them more than Ottawa. (NHL)

*Met our Zack Kassian, the Sabres new draft pick. Kassi looks familiar. I haven’t quite figured out who he looks like yet. Any guesses?

Generic hockey player.

*Meet another one of the new guys, Marcus Foligno.

Ahh yes. I see hearts melted in your future.

Hockey’s Future tells us he has a pedigree which means there is totally a “Ruff” joke in there somewhere. Aww like father like son. Now, I suppose some people may automatically assume he’ll play like his father but we can’t be sure. Maybe he’ll celebrate like him… or at least roundhouse kick a Leaf like him.

My Deepest Apologies For Peacing Out On You Without Any Warning For The 100000th Time

Here’s whats up.

My computer has been super willy wonky since school ended. The day of the Stanley Cup Finals, I jump into the MYFO liveblog literally saying “hi.” My computer shuts down. I know, it was absolutely horrific and I thought I was going to have a heart attack because I thought I needed a new laptop. My computer was charged to the max but the place where I plug in the charger was shot to hell. So that was fixed for twelve bucks and a waived fee of about $5678r3n583w56 (now with letters!). And now I need new ba batteries (They DIED!)! I had access to a computer but they were the kind that if I even attempted to use them, I would probably hit them with Sidney Crosby’s holier than thou Stanley Cup championship hockey stick because they are so slow.

Shall we take a looksie at what happened while I was out? The Pittsburgh Penguins owned the Cup, three iconic celebrities passed on, Transformers made a sequel (Note to the guys: Megan Fox is totally the coolest and bitchiest CGI ever created. Stop eyeing her provocatively. She will never accept your rose. Sorry, it’s just tough love.), Albany and the Senate showed us why the world hates politicians, and the Goose still looks like a super model. Life is good!

I know the good majority of you hate basketball but this one’s important and relevant to us. Yesterday the NBA draft was on. In most cases I would not care one inkling. However, our Niagara Falls native of the Syracuse Orange, Jonny Flynn was supposed to be drafted somewhere in the top ten. Of course it is our civic duty to care! Also, if you watched basketball in the Olympics, you must have noticed Ricky Rubio? YES! The extremely talented and cute five year old. Ok, he’s really eighteen. He was supposed to go drafted at number three but ended up being drafted to the same team right before Jonny Flynn. You know, for the Spanish hottie, that sucks but for me that kind of rocks. But I’m a selfish girl. Oh hey there Minnesota t’wolves! Sabre Kallisions found her NBA team…

First of all, it was nice to see that everyone cheered very loudly for Flynn when he flashed his killer smile that could probably get a girl pregnant faster than Malkin’s sic goal scoring self. Second, when they spoke to him he totally owned the interview. Third, they said he was underrated on defense (good to have when playing basketball…) and he’s a character player (They always mention “character players” when they mention WNY athletes. Thats a very good thing to be known for. Here’s looking at you, Bills.).

So congratulations to Jonny Flynn. We’ll be watching you.*

*(Ok, in the non-creepy way.)

Oh God Please No

I need a minute after I heard this.

Then I saw it.

:(

Crissy, you’re dead to me.

Tonight’s game better have an appropriate outcome.

This video is so cute. The entire crowd is full on singing. Even though it is Journey… urgh.

Update: This day just got 110% better. I <3 Perez! Work that media, Sabres.

Team Lamprey

I tuned in to Shredd and Ragan a mintue ago and an anonymous caller says to look at MSN. Ahhh what would I do without their random news? There was a short article on how Tom Golisano pretty much confirmed his status with tennis hottie, Monica Seles. Ok, so this isn’t so much news… kinda guessed that when we heard of the little fling earlier. They’re like 30 years apart. Ew. Um, whatever works?… Just stay away from our babies.

(Side Note: Just some advice to the Sabres, don’t mess around with sugar momma. You might get fired.)

Also, turns out our fondling Buffalo Bill was not exactly fondling. The lady that accused him was just kind of mmm “questionable.” How horrible to be known for  something like that. Yikes. Ha.

Who says Buffalo is boring, yo?

PA In The Hizzouse

Heeeey.

I finally got around to blogging about hockey for once. Woo! Thanks to MYFO, they gave me the urge to write something. Mwa ha ha.

Here’s looking at you, Pittsburgh. They tied up the series last night to give us some extra hockey for our friday. I think maybe because I was in Erie last week, they decided to give us more. That’s the only reason I could think of at least. I mean, how much of a coincidence is it that my brother’s team lost all his tournament games 2-1 while we were in PA – so close to the penguins – and now Detroit loses 2-1. Yeah, crazy to the extreme. I almost forgot I was in PA. I had to quickly remember where I was after semi-freaking out over the bazillion Lemieux jerseys at the store. Although I did see a Lidstrom jersey hung up in the back of a pickup (or maybe thats just it… “hung” up… boo bad joke).

Before I get carried away with fake-flattering myself, we should get someone else out of the way that comes to mind when I think of as conceited. Ray Emery of course! The Flyers (who else) signed him to a one year dealio. I give that a big thumbs down. Hellloooo. Why? You could say the same about Sean Avery I suppose, but even he has better self control. Ugh. And did they even think of Marty? Probably not. Or maybe they thought he would just talk Emery to death. Yes, that must be the plan. Tell me what you think of this! Please! I’m dying to know.

Update: Emeeeerrryyyyyy.
