Everyone wants Big Bear. Everyone but the Buffalo Sabres, it appears:
CHECK IT OUT
Ummm, $2.5 million? Really. I love you lots, Big Bear, and you provide a lovely physical presence, but that's more than I anticipated you'd rake in next season, and probably too steep for what the Sabres could really justify paying you, but YAY for Big Bear!!!!!
I loves me some Steve Bernier.
And:
CRAP
But MO-OM!! I wanted Jason Smith!!!
OTTAWA IS STINKY. I guess they needed to replace Redden somehow. I don't like it when things go well for the Ottawa Senators. It makes my stomach turn. Ugh. Fine, whatever. We're still not where we should be on defense, but its a better situation than last year.
Looks like that exciting prospect is GONE. Oh no. Two of the three things on my birthday wishlist have gone horribly horribly the other way. We lost BIG BEAR and now we don't get Jason Smith.
GASP!
Let me change my request.
PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL PAILLE. I HATE HIM AND HIS TOTALLY NON-ADORABLY VACANT FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. I DID NOT FIND IT AT ALL INSPIRING THAT WHENVER HE WAS BENCHED LAST SEASON HE CAME BACK WITH A VENGEANCE AND BLEW US ALL AWAY. DON'T SIGN HIM. SHIP HIM TO OUTER MONGOLIA FOREVER. I DIDN'T LOVE WATCHING HIM SCORE 2 GOALS IN ONE GAME IN THE VERY LAST ROW OF HSBC ARENA WHERE I WAS DRUNK AND YELLED AT KOTALIK A FEW MONTHS BACK. THAT WASN'T TOTALLY AWESOME AT ALL. HE IS NOT MY 2ND FAVORITE SABRE. GET HIM AWAY FROM HERE!
Was that thorough enough, Hockey Gods?
Do you think anyone will review this off-season's moves and decide that losing Steve Bernier really affected the Buffalo Sabres? God I hope not.

ReplyDeleteI think I was with you when that happened...
Yes. It was the Devils game in uhhh January??
ReplyDeleteSteve is suddenly Mr. Popularity around the NHL, now isn't he!
ReplyDeleteI wish you guys had gotten Jason Smith too! He's tough, bad-ass, generally awesome, and could have been an old d-man BFF for Craig Rivet. God, why couldn't your GM see the logic there??? ;)
Soph - there's only one thing left to do, try to find a way to justify moving to Vancouver to continue your love for Big Bear. I'm in school so I can't, but I'll totally catch up with him if he migrates back east sometime.
ReplyDeleteJess - We still have plenty of old defencemen for him to become BFFs with, Jaro Spacek might be 50 and Toni Lydman is actually a pod person, so his age is totally insignificant. And Teppo is so old and defencemanly, will make Rosie (the Riveter, I'm thinking of trying that nickname out to see if it sticks with me) feel like he's in preschool again. But that doesn't mean I wanted Jason Smith any less!!!
