So I'm minding my own business, perusing sabres.com and what do I see? THIS:
CRAIG RIVET HAS KNEE SURGERY
Buffalo Sabres GM Darcy Regier announced that defenseman Craig Rivet had arthroscopic surgery on his knee today. His recovery is expected to be a minimum of two weeks.Rivet has three points (0+3) in six games with the Sabres this season, after being acquired in a trade from San Jose on July 4. The 34-year-old Rivet was named the 23rd captain in franchise history on October 8.
NONONONNONONONO! CRAIGORY IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE HURT! HE IS SUPER-HUMAN! HE HAS A BIONIC EYE! HE COST SIX MILLION DOLLARS! (Six Million Dollar Man? Anyone? Anyone?)
ALACK AND FIE. 4Q, TO WHATEVER LUMBERING MORON (PHIL KESSEL WAS IT YOU?) ON THE BRUINS HURT THE FABULOUS, BEAUTIFUL KNEE OF CRAIG FRANKLIN RIVET! (No, his middle name isn't Franklin. He's actually Anthony Craig Rivet. I just like the way Franklin sounds.)
Excuse me, I have to go wring my hands in agony.
