This face says it all!

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.


Lets talk post game. First of all, I hated to see Goose on tv his first game back saying he was embarrassed. He was one of the only guys tonight that put forth any effort! I pretty much ignored anything Vanek had to say. (Was he crying?) I LOVED everything Miller had to say tonight. Best quote of the night definitely goes to him! I can't remember the exact quote and the video isn't up yet, but he basically said that guys need to learn to take criticism and not ignore it. He then went on to say how he wasn't calling out certain people and said something along the lines of "THAT was a media event." hahahah fantastic. "They don't show up to get their quotes and get their facts from other people......I'm not going to name names." I think ya already did buddy. Lesson? Don't piss off the goalie! (And from the girly side of me.....how adorable did he look in his toque and hoodie? He looked so cuddly! Clearly I wanted to hug him. Twice.)


There was one ray of sunshine that shown down on this dark display of dismal hockey for me.....

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?

Breaking News....Avery Still a Tool!

Ok so it's not really breaking news. We all already knew that Sean Avery is a pretty big tool right? Well it's safe to say that he's moved up another notch on the scale of douchebaggery. The NHL has suspended Avery indefinitely for doing something "detrimental to the League or game of hockey." I don't have the exact quote but I guess the idiot told TSN that it's a pretty common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with his sloppy seconds. Really Sean Avery? How any woman lowered themselves for you is beyond me in the first place.





In other news....


Andrew Peters is injured. According to wgr, Peters came away from last night's game with an abdominal strain. Great. Now we are minus Kaleta AND Peters. It was also reported that Derek Roy is having back spasms. Poor Derek. I can't imagine why he would be having back problems.......

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.

Ryan Miller Meet and Greet and #9's Behind

I got home from Buffalo last night around 2am. What a great weekend!!!

Ok so the game....not so great. I had pretty high hopes that we were going to beat the Islanders. 7-1 last time! 7 to 1! I was pretty psyched to see Mancari score though! Holler! What was I not psyched about? I was not a happy camper to see Ryan on the bench. I don't mind Lalime at all. I think he's great. But when I drive 3 hours to see a game, I want to watch Ryan. Also, I pretty much want to sit in the top row of the arena all the time! Top row's the way to go! We made some pretty dandy signs to put up on the wall too. hahahaha

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.

The Meet and Greet was really nice! It was in a small room at the Smith Theatre next to Shea's. Tables were set with peppermint filled bowls and poinsettias and Christmas music was playing. There was a large table set up with dunkin donuts, coffee and hot chocolate. So cute! I was with my sister getting some coffee when Ryan came in. He grabbed a doughnut (omg he's so skinny! eat more doughnuts ryan!) and some hot chocoate and mingled his way through the room. His autograph table was in the corner of the room. He sat there and played with his iphone until everyone was ready to go.

He was so nice and it was a great time! The Rockette's show was AMAZING! I cried my eyes out at the end. I had a feeling I would. Oh....and we spotted another Sabre in the audience with his wife and 2 adorable daughters. The Numminens. They were so cute! Pretty much the best weekend ever. End of story.
