I'm not even going to talk about the "game." Not going to mention how I think Derek Roy spent more ice time on his ass then on his skates or how Vanek is still invisible. Nope. Not going to mention it.
Adam Mair you made everything seem ok. You gave me a small smidgen of hope. Thank you for scoring tonight and letting Goose assist you with that matter. You are climbing higher and higher on my list of Sabre love. Do you have any plans for New Years Eve?

Way to rub it in that I'm not there Sabres.com! THANKS! I don't know if any of you went tonight, but I'm going to need to know every single detail you can give me about Drew's performance. What songs did they sing? What did he wear? Was he chewing gum like it was his job like he usually does?
Tonight's game was a little better. I was excited to see YoYo net a goal. It's been awhile. What was even better you ask? Why this very moment right here made the entire game worth watching.....
Are you there God? It's me Jason. This was a great moment in television history people.
Other things that made me happy you ask? Watching Drew Stafford net the game winning goal in the shootout! Do I wish there was never a shootout to begin with? YEP! There shouldn't have even been an OT! I'm talking to you Mr. Roy! But hey....Hooray for Drew! (I still wish I got to see him play with BPO. Anyone going tomorrow night?)
Lastly.....speaking of my love for the Millers, did anyone catch them on the postgame show?! Mrs. Miller was clearly pumped to be on t.v while Mr. Miller stood in the back and tried to blend in. Again, great moments in television.

This is the skinny tree as I like to call it. Red glass ornaments and silver beaded garland with sleigh bells and some snowflakes mixed in.
This is the big tree. This Christmas tree has all of the family ornaments. My Grammie used to by my sister and I an ornament every year. It's also topped with the sweet angel I made in Preschool. LoL Can you tell we like Christmas yet?
Here's my room with my tiny little tree and some lights in the window.
Speaking of Santa being good to everyone, he sure was good to me!
I tried to group everything close together so I could get a picture. I think my favorite gift this year was XM radio for my car. Hooray! I also really like my new pink purse. It's handmade and has a matching wallet. And check out those yellow boots! LOVE them!
I also feel I must explain the following gift from my sister.....
Yeah that's a picture of me and Ryan Miller in a manger. LoL My family has really stupid humor. There's this movie called "Welcome to the Dollhouse" and it's pretty much one of the dumbest movies I've ever watched. But do we have it on dvd? Sure do! It's just a "stupid funny" kind of movie about this girl in jr. high that's a total geek. Kind of like "Napoleon Dynamite." Anyway....check out the trailer at about 40 seconds in and then you can understand that my sister is nuts....and I love her.
I'm off to bed early tonight. Tomorrow morning I'm gift wrapping to raise money for Relay for Life......at 8am. I'll be wearing pajamas to do so.
R
Hahahahahaha! Ok I probably won't go this far....BUT STILL I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!
R
Oh. My God! When I saw this @ Sabretooth's House tonight I almost fell off my bed. Do I already have tickets? SURE DO! I can't wait for this event! The fact that there's a theme this year makes it even more awesome!!! There are no words to describe how much fun this night is. If you're thinking $175 is too much, IT'S NOT! Totally worth it. GO! Like Caroline....Lucinda and I also caught ourselves in some photos from last year. Heck....I'm even in some of Caroline's photos!
Also speaking of Ryan Miller and his amazing event.....my favorite goalie updated his blog today. And did it make me love him more? Yes. Yes it did. According to the blog, Ryan's favorite Christmas tradition is watching the movie "Christmas Vacation!" Clearly Mr. Miller we should be the best of friends because I can recite that movie in my sleep. My family watches it every Thanksgiving after dinner. We even pause the masterpiece of a film to go outside and do this....
Thought #1....Drew has tattoos....and that makes him even more attractive!
That's all for now. Hope you all are enjoying the leaf blowing. I'll blog more after the game. For now I'll sit here and wait for Invisible Children's cd to drop and work on starting their fan club in which I'll be president.
Happy Birthday to me! Today I turned 24. Wow....I'm getting old. I had a pretty good day aside from being at work all day. It really wasn't that bad. My sister bought me a Sabres Santa hat! Not to be outdone, Lucinda bought me a Jonas Brothers book. Yeah yeah I like them! I'm not ashamed! I also got new tap shoes, a glass pendent and some new pjs!
all I can think of is this......
Derek. Your future's made of virtual insanity. Aww the 90's. I miss you. LoL
R
That is all! LOL
L
My ticket order is being faxed in first thing tomorrow morning. I am SO excited for Catwalk! Last year was so much fun. I must admit I was a little confused/pissy that it was on a Sunday night this year considering it's a 3 hour drive. It's also at a much smaller venue. You know what makes up for it? A THEME!!!!! A roaring 20's party with the Sabres? Count me in! Derek Roy get out your fishnets! This is going to be a party!
R
According to Jim Kelley and WGR the Sabres are for sale. There doesn't seem to be many details about this so far, but what a crappy thing to wake up to on a Monday morning. WBEN News Radio in Buffalo reports that Tommy G has approached Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie about a possible sale. It was also reported that there was concern that Balsillie would move the team to Hamilton, ON. Would that be a stupid move or what?! Ugh....we'll see where this goes. It's like the plot of Slapshot 2 happening before my eyes!
The Sabres should feel so honored to be in the presence Sidney Crosby....Hell, I'm honored to have this fine photographic masterpiece grace Meet Me At Chefs....I'm just aww-stricken right now...
On a more serious note, let's go Buffalo...
L
(Oh.....LOL @ BOLTS! What a horrible jersey!) Anyway.....highlights of the game, for me anyway. DREW STAFFORD STRIKES AGAIN! YES! After reading about his "rockstar, I don't care about anything" attitude in the Buffalo News I was so excited to see him produce another goal. Adam Mair beating the holy hell out of Downie was also pretty fantastic. Andrew Peters were you watching that? I hope you were taking notes.
Oh hey Nathan Gerbe! Ger-bee? Ger-bay? Whatever.....What a great game by the little guy! Can we keep him instead of Mr. Injury making a return? Did anyone catch Derek Roy's post-game interview last night? He was excited that there was finally someone smaller than him on the team. Kevin Sylvester suggested Nathan buy him dinner in Pittsburgh. DON'T FALL FOR DEREK'S TRICKS NATHAN!!!!! First you're grabbing a bite to eat. Next thing you know you're flat on your back on the sidewalk and you've lost your shoes.
So I've been pondering what if finally took for Buffalo to pull off the win and I think I have it. For the past week I must admit I have focused much of my time on a non-sabre. I'm sorry Ryan! I'm sorry Drew! It was for your own good! Clearly this is how it has to be for awhile.
R
Somebody should have asked Cari over @ Sabre Chaser. Clearly he needs to stick to the posturepedic and not the sidewalk. May I also suggest Dr. Scholl's to slip into your easy spirt slide? You could use the extra support.
R
And now onto a more serious note,
You guys have NO idea how pumped I was to see Stafford score not once but TWICE tonight! Hallelujah it's a black friday miracle! I simply can't stand all the hate on Drew right now. All the trade talk. I read a thread on a Sabres message board all about how Drew needs to drop the rock and roll star attitude and play hockey. Ugh it makes me so mad. Everyone goes through slumps. I hope he can keep on playing the way he did tonight because he was clearly amazing. I didn't see the 3 stars of the game but clearly Drew should be 1st.
And let us all GIVE A HONK FOR THE GOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Mr. Game Winner! Where are you going to spend your 20 cents Paul? In case you missed it, Goose said in his post game interview that his grandfather has given him a dime for every goal he has scored since he was little. How cute is that?!
I was so happy to see the Sabres get 2 pts. tonight. I really really can not stand Sidney Crosby, or the "crown jewel of the nhl" as I like to call him. I'd really like to see Kaleta or Mair punch him square in the jaw. Oh well....doesn't matter. He's a big ol' loser tonight. Huzzah!
I leave you tonight with this picture....I'm hanging my head in shame with embarrassment for this silly woman. I feel bad that she's displaying such ridiculous behavior in public.
Those new jerseys SOUND really great on the radio! :O(
***POST GAME EDIT***
SABRES WIN!!!! The streak is broken! It's a Thanksgiving miracle! Seems Roy had an awesome game and Kaleta had some monster hits! I'm headed over to gettyimages to make sure I can see at least some of tonight's action. God Bless Bill Wippert!

After the game we discovered possibly the best thing to ever happen to downtown Buffalo. "Level" nightclub and Vitamin Water were throwing a bash for Derek Roy to support him and all-star voting. If that isn't great enough guess what this shin-dig was called! Wait for it...."GET BEHIND #9!" Is that not the funniest thing you ever heard?! I bet his "P.A" was first in line to "get behind."
The tree lighting was pretty cool. It was so cute to see everyone so "christmasy." Ryan Miller was so great with all the kids. He came out early and signed everything from jerseys to reindeer antlers. As much as I love him, and that's really a lot, he's quite awkward. His speech was so great and odd at the same time. Here's the cliffs notes version.....Ryan wants the ugliest holiday sweater he can find to make all the hockey wives cringe at the Christmas party. When Miller and "Big Goose Tall Goose" lived together they left their tree up until March. It was for the "ambiance." I also loved when Ryan thanked the mayor and nobody really clapped until he said "yay? everybody clap?" hahaha good times! Lucinda took a video of his speech but I'll let her post that.
Yes Ryan....you do indeed dazzle me frequently.
