Hats off for Tom, Drew is sick and Scruffy goalie love

I'm always so behind. I totally should have written last night but I couldn't keep my eyes open.

First of all....SHUTOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go Ryan. Major MAJOR goalie love! And I must add in that I love the scruffy goalie look!

Next up lets chat about that crazy move Drew pulled off. In the words of pretty much everyone it was "sick!" However I have a small bone to pick with you Mr. Stafford. STOP DOING GREAT THINGS WHEN I'M NOT THERE TO SEE THEM!!! I had just got in my car and turned on the game on my way home to hear RJ go absolutely crazy over the goal. You're lucky your post-game interview made me forgive you. All that was missing was your sleepover buddy on your shoulder.

What is there really to say about Mr. Vanek. He was clearly nothing short of fantastic. This was the first hat trick I've gotten to see all year. I love seeing the hats fly! I was amused because they kept showing Tom and Tim chat on the bench after they each had netted a goal. Then Thomas netted a few more and every time they showed the two of them Tim was looking the other way. Jealous? Awwww Tim....I pretty much hate you. However, props for staying out of the hospitals lately. You're right up there with "Tim Taylor" from "Home Improvement."

Do you think this is TV's hat or do you think he picked it out of the hat trick garbage can in the hallway? teehee

I pretty much would like to end my ramblings with this....

Way to go Leafs. Way to be horrible!

From what I DID see...

I had to work tonight until 8:00 so I knew I was going to miss a good chunk of the game. Sadly I missed this.....

Drew's 9th goal of the season! WOOHOO!!!

I also missed this...

Really Rutu?! Really?! Mair was right. You really are a joke. What kind of goon won't drop the gloves and decides to bite instead? I really don't even know what to say about how ridiculous this is. Andrew I hope you listen to Mike Robitaille's advice and get a rabies shot!

So after I miss all the fun stuff already I get in the car to drive home and listen to the game on xm. Sabres are winning 3-0. Them BAM! Sens score. BAM! Sens score. Those didn't matter though. Vanek put the game away with a pass from Stafford and an empty netter to put them on top 4-2.

The Sabres have had a great start to Two Thousand and Roy! Let's keep it up boys!

R

I'm never where I want to be

Tonight I came up from our last Christmas get-together to find this in my in-box....

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?

I'm sorry I let you down Drew. How could the president of the "Invisible Children" fan club not be present on your big night?! I'm hanging my head in shame. Please still love me tomorrow.

R

Are you there God?

It's been a pretty long day today and I'm not exactly in the best of moods so I'm going to keep this short tonight.

What was the best part about Friday night for me?

I love those Millers. I'm pretty sure that I couldn't even afford a t-shirt @ The Refinery but I sure did enjoy seeing it. Dean Miller seems like such a cool dad! LoL Other than the sweet Christmas tunes leading into the commercial breaks that's about all I took away from Friday night.

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.

Christmas Vacation Day 1

This is officially my first day of Christmas vacation!!! No dance classes for 2 weeks! WOOOHOOOO!!!! Not that I don't love my job but I'm TOTALLY pumped to veg out for awhile.
So I've decided that I'm going to blog everyday of my vacation. I've been pretty lazy lately so I'm really going to catch up with you guys! Plus there's so much snow here that you can't get out to do much else!

In Catwalk for Charity news.....I got an email yesterday reinforcing that the event was 21 and over only and that they will be checking your photo i.d at the door. So everyone that I said "maybe you could sneak in" to I'm taking that back. Annnnnnd I got so excited that I already bought my dress. I'm trying to decide if I want to post a picture of it or not? However, it's chocolate brown and totally perfect! Now I must start accessorizing it!

Sabres-wise.....how pumped was I about the 5-0 win and another shoot-out for Ryan this year?! It's games like that where I'm always sitting at home thinking, "wow....why didn't I buy tickets for this game?" Another thing I'm excited about? Lil' Roy! Clearly someone has defiantly got behind #9 because he is on fire! More power to ya Derek! Keep it up!
Can someone please tell me though.....has Thomas Vanek become invisible? I'm counting on you TV to pull off something big against the crown jewel and happy feets tonight!

Lastly.....

Why is it that every time Ronan comes to sing with the BPO they announce that my favorite Sabres will be playing with him 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE SHOW?!?! WHY?!?!?! Maybe Santa will bring me tickets to go see Drew Stafford rock out with the orchestra? Secretly I want him to walk out on that stage with the wig and the mustache. I wonder why Ryan ins't playing this year too? Probably staying home to watch "Christmas Vacation" again?

What a Rockstar!

Usually I wait to the end of the game to blog but clearly this simply could not wait! The producers of the Sabres show gave me the best birthday present ever!

Thought #1....Drew has tattoos....and that makes him even more attractive!

Thought #2....You're a musical genius and I love you!

Thought #3....You're still hot in that ridiculous wig and fake mustache.

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.

Take THAT Mouse Potatoes!

DREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

"I play on expert bitch!"

Today has been such an exciting day! We have a new president! Obama '08! Yes We Can! Almost equally exciting....4 Sabres are included on the NHL AllStar Fan Ballot! Starting Nov. 12th you can vote for Ryan Miller, Thomas Vanek, Derek Roy and Teppo Numminen. Holler!!!



So while parusing some random youtube videos today I came across this piece of awesomeness. It reminded me your favorite guitar hero AND mine......

Seriously though, check this out and tell me that Drew DOSEN'T do this on his days off! How else would he prepare for Invisible Children's first tour? Or maybe he just likes to relive his time on the Warped Tour with his new bffs "Everytime I Die?" Either way....it's freakin funny!

Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween Sabre fans! I'm going to totally ignore the fact that last night's game was terrible. It was a trick! A trick I tell you!!!

While surfing the blogs this morning I came across the BEST picture I have seen in a long time. Check out the gem that MJ over @ My Safety is Harvard posted....

For posting the above, MJ is clearly the queen of blogs. Happy Halloween girl! You made my day!

Of course I can't let this spooky day go by without posting some pictures of others in costumes right? Do you think any of the guys will be opening their doors to trick-or-treaters tonight?
If anyone ends up on Ryan's doorstep tonight looking for some candy, (or a soyjoy bar) make sure you give him a hug for me. I'm thinking he had a pretty rough night. It's ok Ryan! Everyone has their crappy games, and boy was last night yours! I still love you though!

If anyone goes trick-or-treating themselves I'm pretty sure it's going to be Andrew Peters. Lucky for the kids I don't think Andrew can walk too far in those heels so there will be plenty of candy left for everyone in his neighborhood!

Moving along to my favorite philanthropist and my favorite Austrian. All that comes to my mind is "Who wears short shorts." :O)

Last but not least we have Pommers. This year Pommers has decided to go as the King of Pominville. Like Andrew, I don't think JP will have too much time to spend trick-or-treating. It's tough work ruling the land of Pominville! Although I think the population has dropped since last season? ;o)





Happy Halloween to all of my fellow sabres bloggers!

R

Ya know I still love him!

Tonight's game was pretty much the most boring hockey game I've ever watched. The Wild skated circles around our guys. They really showed us! The Sabres better be sitting in their locker room thinking about how the Wild really deserved those 2 points......



What did you just say?



Holy crap on a cracker the Sabres came back to win 4-3!!! AMAZING!!! I'm pretty sure the Wild are having a "wait......what?!" kind of moment right now.



Drew Stafford scored his 2nd consecutive goal tonight while Thomas Vanek remains the team hero. Derek Roy finally crawled out from under his rock to save the day and score in OT.

Buffalo is now 7-0-1 with 13 points which ties us with the Rangers.



PS....

Dear Ryan,

Everyone makes mistakes. Even though you're damn near perfect mind, body and soul it's ok that you put the puck in your net. Anybody could have done it. We all have extra things on our minds that get in the way every now and then. I'm sorry I've been giving Drew so much attention lately. You will always be my #1 Ryan. Everyone still loves your Ryan. Everyone.

Vocab. word of the Day!

The word of the day is Mouse Potato. Actually it's two words....but whatever. Mouse Potato.

The word of the day is brought to you by the children's television workshop and Drew Stafford. After watching his adorable post-game interview I thought to myself, "what the hell is a mouse potato?!" Google took me to Merriam-Webster's online dictionary.

Main Entry: mouse potato
Function: noun
Etymology: after couch potato
Date: 1993
slang : a person who spends a great deal of time using a computer

Is this really a common term? I thought Drew just made up a random word for lack of better things to spontaneously say to the press? Clearly I will try to work "mouse potato" into my everyday vocabulary.

The Pigeon has a new home. A good home. A home with a nice view and all the Enlyten Sportstrips he could ever want. Has anyone noticed that this pigeon is pretty damn popular with the media? Everyone asks about the pigeon and all he does is sit in the locker and do nothing. It's like the Paris Hilton of the taxidermy world.

R

My vote for Sabre Pigeon goes to....

DREW STAFFORD!

I've been sitting quietly while everyone trash talked my drew. Sitting silent listening to all the hideous comments like "get him off the Vanek and Roy line!" TONIGHT WAS YOUR NIGHT DREW! What a sick goal to pull the team back into the game! Hell yeah Staffy! Hell yeah! I knew your time would come!

With all my Drew loving I must NOT forget to mention what a stellar game Ryan Miller had! He totally robbed the Bruins blind on more than one occasion! There's nothing I love more than seeing Ryan so pumped after winning a shootout!5-0-1! Cue the win song! I came to get down! I came to get down! So get out your seat and jump around!

Oh! And this just in.....Thomas Vanek is still a superstar! Way to fake out Fernandez TV!
