| The Sabres need new jerseys that
revert back to our colors ASAP. First, our old colors were
preferable to the red and black sellout. Second, our old jerseys
were unique and you didn't get us confused with the Blackhawks or
Devils. We need a classic (which translates into simple) jersey. I
will post a sample of what I think we should wear in the near
future. |

| My latest thoughts about the Sabres
so far this offseason:
1. I like the addition of Drury and Begin. I'm
not sure about the cost of Ballard and Warrener.
2. Vanek was a decent choice. I would have
preferred trading down for Kastitsyn or Parise.
3. We really need a RH defenseman or two. Andy
Delmore was a nice pickup, but I don't consider him anything more
than a 6th defenseman, except on the PP.
4. We need way more toughness on defense.
5. Depending on the return, I think we should
deal a goaltender. I would deal Biron because I think you could
get the most for him. Boynton and a 2nd rounder for Biron?
6. Yushkevich or Klee would look really good
on our D - good RH defensemen. The problem is the costs in a $30M
budget.
7. I would still be extremely hesitant to deal
away Tim Connolly or Pyatt. These guys are only 22 for the next
season. I would be less hesitant to deal Afinogenov.
8. I am extremely happy Lindy Ruff was
retained. I am not sure about Regier, but I am willing to give him
the benefit of the doubt, since it is impossible to tell what
screw-ups are his and which ones were caused by the conditions
created by the Rigases.
9. I would love to get Matt Cooke out of
Vancouver. If we have to give up Afinogenov, so be it.
10. The new six pack mini-season ticket
package is a great idea, especially for people like me who can
only get to a few games this year.

| Thank you Tom Golisano for saving
the Buffalo Sabres. May you make a ton of money off the Sabres. |

- The NHL refuses to admit they were
absolutely incompetent in failing to call Brett Hull's nogoal
not a goal. The evidence is clear:
- Yep, the skate is still in the crease. Note
also that Brett Hull's skate is interfering with Hasek's goal
stick. The NHL had the balls to apologize for the offsides
nogoal the Capitals "scored" on us in the 1997-8
playoffs (Nogoal I), they had the good sense to apologize for
the nogoal the Flyers "scored" on us in 1999-2000 (Nogoal
III). Time to let your testicles drop Bettman - apologize for
allowing Brett Hull's nogoal to stand. Why continue to argue
when nothing will change? It is every Sabres' fans duty to
point out the illegitimacy of the St*rs
"championship." Nobody recognizes the USSR 1972
men's basketball gold medal to be legitimate. Nobody thinks
that Roy Jones Jr. legitimately lost the gold medal in Seoul.
Nobody really believes that there are 5 downs in college
football. Nobody thinks OJ was innocent. Just because OJ
wasn't convicted doesn't mean you let him date your daughter.

- As for the idiots who think the NHL
followed its rules and that nobody else except for the
experienced hockey fans in Texas know hockey, think again. The
NHL was covering its ass. If the possession argument the NHL
tried held any weight, you would see nobody put themselves
offside. If the shooter doesn't lose possession after
shooting, imagine a shot that rings off the goal post, then
ricochets out of the offensive zone where it deflects off the
boards back across the blue line, where the shooter touches
the puck. In reality, this play is offside. In the Alice in
Wonderland world of NHL officiating, apparently it would not
be. As for the NHL's claim that the goal was reviewed,
bullshit. Why wasn't John Leclair's nogoal reviewed next year?
