There are a couple of things that have me most down about the Sabres. The first is realizing how close Buffalo was to tying the series 1-1 and how completely different the world would be if they had been able to do that instead of losing both games at home. The way they played so poorly in the first game was an incredible waste. I have my answer though: I am not brilliant. Everyone knew that Buffalo was capable of allowing one short-handed and two power-play goals and sure enough they did.
The second thing that’s depressing is all this talk about wanting Daniel Alfredsson suspended. Whether he deserves it or not, it’s enough already. He’s not getting a suspension any more than Teppo did in round one for doing almost the same thing. If Buffalo doesn’t like what Alfredsson did, then maybe someone should punch him in the mouth. Better yet, win these next two games on the road.
The Rochester Knighthawks indoor lacrosse team won the championship this past weekend. Because the circus was in town, they had to play the game in Arizona instead of at the Blue Cross Arena. Waterstreet Music Hall hosted a party for fans to watch the game on television and from the report I saw on RNews, there was quite a turnout. There was an interview with one of the superfans that I wish was available on the internet. The Knighthawks apparently won the championship ten years ago, and the superfan is wearing a jersey from that winning season with the 10 year patch on it, explaining the significance of the whole thing and saying how long it’s been and how this is the best feeling in the world. And then, wait for it… the scream into the camera – woooooo! I could have watched it over and over again all day. I mean literally, because RNews runs the same thing over and over again all day. I won’t make fun of indoor lacrosse or this guy’s exuberance over it, but it was really funny. Considering the success of the Knighthawks and the Bandits, I’m obviously the one with the screw loose because happiness could be in my grasp but I don’t choose to accept it.
