Today, I was reminded of why I never go on the Sabres message board. Some dude accused me of being a spy for Tom Golisano. Right. I didn’t respond. I’m no hockey genius, but I think billionaires have better things to do than to hire damage control on message boards. Am I way off base here? I don’t know. I would’ve taken him more seriously if he weren’t in his early thirties and saying these things (how about we bring back vowels and syntax?). I understand a lot of people in our area are miserable and people use the Internet to vent frustration but really? 2007-2008 season, I was waiting in line to pick up dinner and this guy told me the Sabres should fire Lindy Ruff and Darcy Regier because they suck. He must’ve hated when Ruff won coach of the year and almost brought us to the Stanley Cup Finals…
Anyway, I found this quote – not on the boards.
On his daughter Carrie getting engaged to Alexander Selivanov:
“I tried to talk my daughter out of going with a hockey player but, he’s a good kid. He asked me if he could marry Carrie before he asked her. I said, “You want to what?’ I thought he was just going to ask for more ice time.”
-Phil Esposito
Hehe!!!

Ha! That quote is awesome. People in Buffalo are just crabby. Always have been, always will be. We have a sick inferiority complex.

Tom G. – Lindy, Darcy, your services here are no
longer required.
Darcy – Whaaaa?
Lindy – (eyes narrowing) WWWhhhhyyyyy?
Tom G. – Because you suck.
Lindy picks up a chair and slams it into the side of Toms head .
Lindy – Getcher laptop Darcy! I own this team now!

NO! NO! Lindy doesn’t beat people with chairs. He may get angry, but he does NOT throw chairs (at people – especially people who sign pay checks).
