Race to the Playoffs De-railed by De-troit

Yeah, I’m a bit upset about the recent developments happening at the expense of the buffalo sabres. The weekend yeilded a certain heartbreak as the sabres let us down….
Actually, it was nothing more than Busted’s most famous song, Build me up Buttercup.
WHY DO YOU BUILD US UP…sabres baby just to let us down
and fuck us aroudn…when worse of all
you beat the capitals- but new jersey…
rapes your asshole
and I know…the caps have a better
win percentage after all
so build us up
sabres…DONT FUCK THIS UP

So yeah…way to bring false hope. Sounds of friday’s win against the caps really gave me a little hope. But then New Jersey…

Not only did we not win…but Zach Parise really pissed me off. Behind the net he ran into Ryan Miller behind the net. I don’t know if anyone remembers this, it’s kind of traumatic for me. Remember a few weeks ago when Fern took the hit behind the net and sprained himself? Uh huh, if anyone touches my Ferny behind the net…even if they don’t break him (which is obviously easy to do because he’s a ferny) then there will be hell to pay…he is a precious fern.

So, yesterday, the Monday night match up between Sabres and Red Wings is always a once-in-a-season occurrence. And usually I am better prepared for it, mainly because i try to imagine how nice Henrik Zetterberg’s ass is beneath his padding. WE KNOW I AM A PUCK BUNNY. But this wasn’t so nice a match up. Up until the end of the second period it was nice…

My favorite game is a 0-0 game…we know this…so when I saw the game carry on this long without scoring, I felt joy…lots of it.
And then the Red Wings scored.
And again
and again
and again
A celebratory honk to the goose, but only one…

There was a massive altercation at the end of the second, with Samuellson from the Wings absolutely wrecking havoc on our team, first by attacking Scottie, and then from a hit to Royo that sent him flying a few good feet. It was nice to see Derek stick up for himself and try to get at the bastard. He never fights, and i know there’s some of a fighter on the inside of my little buddy.

And right after we get a nice power play as a result, Connors slashes and breaks someone’s stick….stupid idiot. I think I’m the only soon-to-be buffalocal who hates Connors.

We still have a CHANCE, overall, but it’s not a very good one
