From the Hotiary of Hot Hotfford
Dear Hotiary, Things at work have been very unhotunate recently. We’ve now lost 3 hots in a hot. It’s totally unhot to continually lose hotckey games, and all this losing is giving me very low hot esteem. To make matters even hotrse, I’ve suffered a “bone ...

Wait.
Hold the phone. Do the Sabres totally suck now? :(

Dear Sabres, Look, I don’t have time to watch and post about every single game that you play. I also don’t have the emotional energy to throw myself into a complete tizzy when you look like ass for a few games. If this is going to work, I need to know I can trust you to keep ...

Yay!
Dick Jauron got fired! Let’s celebrate by watching the cutest commercial in the world. I like cute things, and I’m not afraid to say it.

Deep Thoughts, with Kate Handy
I made a little joke a few post ago about the book “The Power of Now”. I don’t know if you guys ever read that book, but it was one of those “meaning of life” books that caught on with the general populace (with a little help from Oprah, I believe) a few years ...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Holy shintski, you guys! THE SABRES ARE NEVER LOSING AGAIN! Little known fact: Beethoven 8 is a lot more fun to play when you already know they Sabres beat Philly on the road that night. WOOOOOO! Let’s go Buff-a-lo!

10-4-1 is a Pretty Decent Record
Perhaps my Sabres related mood is being excessively effected by my new season tickets….and it’s true, I wasn’t a fan during the halcyon “run and gun” years (when our captains were super heroes and goals grew on trees), but I can’t believe how many people ...

That Game Was An Ugly Weirdy
The Sabres looked alternately pathetic (the power play is very, very bad), and heroic (the 5 minute penalty kill at the end was FOXY. That’s F to the O to the X to the Y. Foxy) tonight. Toss in a terrifying hit by Clarke MacArthur (of all people), and it made for a strange and edgy ...

4 Scattered Things
I have started and stopped about ten different post today, but I have absolutely no focus or clarity of thought. It occurs to me (and this qualifies as a MAJOR “duh”) that my lack of focus might have a little to do with the fact that I’ve been breathing paint fumes for two ...

Sabres vs. Flyers 11/06/09
Pregame Mood: I am super tired, and super happy. I got an unexpected evening off tonight. While my colleagues in the BPO are playing a concert at Hilbert College, I find myself “rotated off” the concert (That’s BPO-speak for “the stage is too small to hold all of ...

7 Things
1. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! 2. You guys, the Sabres are, like, my favorite. (Have you ever seen “Elf”? For some reason tonight I kept thinking of that line, “I like smiling. Smiling is my favorite.” That’s how this game felt.) This Sabres game was just so ...

5 MORE Surprises of the New Season
willfulcaboose.wordpress.com — 1. This is actually Drew Stafford. Everyone assumed this was a fake account until Staffy went and broke the news of the Paille trade on Twitter. Staffy’s current habit of calling every city “Hot[name of city]” in the style of ... (more) 5 MORE Surprises of the New Season
5 Surprises of the New Season
1. The Sabres are good at hockey! Whaaaa? Up is down, and black is white. I’ve read and heard a LOT of discussion about whether fans are “buying in” to the new Sabres. Everyone is asking themselves the hard questions. Do I believe these guys are for real? Or, having ...

Surly
I am a Surl-a-saurus Rex. Terrifying, I know. Right before I moved, I said to myself, “Self, this is going to suck. The house is not move in ready, and there is no way around the fact that you’ll be living in chaos for a few weeks. There is nothing to be done but grin ...
