What a day!

Today was trade deadline day. I was pretty excited to see what would unfold. I was pretty pumped about the Vermette trade only because I think he's pretty nice looking. With him no longer being a Sen I'm free to admire him. hahaha
Sabres signed Connolly for 2 more years.....whatever. I know there are a lot of people out there that are really pumped about this news. Me not so much. But whatever. If he stays healthy then I'll be happy.
Mikael Tellqvist was acquired from Phoenix. This made me quite nervous. I can understand wanting to having a backup goalie with nhl experience, but it makes me think Miller isn't coming back for the rest of the season. HEARTBREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dominic Moore also jumped on the Sabre train from Leaf nation. Oh my God I just typed Leaf Nation. Ew.
Sad news of the day is Al Kotalik going to Edmonton. I'm gonna miss you Al. All the times we shared @ Chefs while you ate your pasta and I laughed your hats and spice girl glasses. I hope you coached everyone in shootout before you left.
In even sadder news.....Max Afinogenov is still a Sabre.

GOOD NEWS.....Buffalo beat Montreal tonight 5-1. Patty was 1:06 away from a shutout. SO CLOSE! What a great game tonight though! I didn't get to see the 3 stars of the game but my personal star goes to the Goose! How adorable was he after his shorty?! He was freakin giddy on the bench! LoL
Thomas Vanek made his return wearing his "Silence of the Lambs" mask. Glad he's back out there.

Dear Sabres,
Please play this well next weekend when I actually get to come watch you. K thanks!
Love,
Rachael

Does Afinogenov WANT to go?

According to the Buffalo news Afinogenov has had some good practices with the team and is hoping to play against the Habs but Lindy isn't sure yet. Max talked to the press in Long Island.

"I've been here for like 10 years. All my career," said Afinogenov. "Played all my games here. All my friends [are] here. My home here. I want to be here. But just for once, I want to play. If I'm sitting, there's no reason for me to be here."



I think Max has scored 2 goals all season? If he isn't moved Darcy really is dumb. What do you guys think will be done with Max? What do you think we can get for him?
