Here's a Shock...

By S(h)ara

It's not like this one is coming out of left field. WGR (home of my radio boyfriend) is reporting that the Sabres will not offer Dmitri Kalinin a contract.

Yeah, I can hear the gasps of shock from here.

Yoinked from WGR's website:

"WGR 550's Paul Hamilton asked Regier about their plans for unrestricted free agent defenseman Dmitri Kalinin. Regier says that the team will not offer Kalinin a contract."

Are you amazed? I'm amazed. I can't believe we're not offering "Tri-Is-His-Nickname-Because-He-Stands-There-Like-One" a contract. (Can you tell I'm being sarcastic?) Anne told me he said in an interview that his wife really likes Buffalo, which Anne followed up with "Well that sucks for her."

Though I do feel bad for you, Dmitri. You were drafted in like the second round. It must suck to be the guy on the team no one really cares about. Even your girlfriend page doesn't care. The conversation looks something like this:

"Is he married or what?"
"Yeah, he has a wife named Tatiana"
"Go Sabres."
"Let's talk about Trent Edwards."

Clearly, you need to start banging girls in the bathrooms of clubs and asking them to do threesomes with you and one of your teammates.

Do svidaniya, Tri. We here in Buffalo will certainly miss having someone to blame for everything. Hell, the Dmitri Kalinin Eff-Up is even its own category in the Sabres drinking game. That kind of notoriety does not come easily.
