Thomas Vanek

Sabres.com put up a feature on TV’s stats from this past year, and it got me thinking about him again. I’ve defended him in this space before, and I must’ve inspired him as the next month he ripped it up big time. Here’s a few key things for the sourpusses out there to [...]

Stamkos Contract Fun

Considering Stamkos is pretty much guaranteed to make the Tampa Bay Lightning roster day one, contract details like this always make me laugh:
This doesn€™t mean that Stamkos has made the team as he could still be sent back to juniors if he fails to make the team out of camp or is sent back before [...]

Jay McKee IS Walking Through That Door…

…but he’s dressed as Marilyn Monroe:
If only the weird-o-meter stopped buzzing after the guy who played Andy Kaufman showed up dressed as a Communist dictator. As Hinote pointed out in his groom’s speech: “You must be a bunch of screwed up people to dress up like the ’50s, right? I have a teammate dressed as [...]

Sabres Ticket Prices Rise

Sabres.com has the pricing up for this season’s tickets, and it’s gonna cost you a bit more. They’ve added a ‘Platinum’ tier to the variable pricing for the games against the Leafs (and one Friday night match-up with the Canadiens). I guess they really want to stick it to the border crossing crowd. [...]

NHL 09 – Hell Yes

NHL 09 might just be the first game I buy for my Xbox 360 (using it more for media stuff and demos so far). The EA Sports Hockey League component of the game, a sort of Diablo II-esque ladder system for teams of hockey players (basically an in-game version of yourself complete with name) [...]

Nightmare Fuel

I’m borrowing that phrase from Deadspin, for very good reason. I took a peek in the spam folder in my Gmail today, to make sure nothing important got sent there…and came across this:
Mccain sex tape surfaces
/brain scrub
Moving on, it appears that some spammers have switched to humorous subjects for their offending mails, perhaps for [...]

Portland Pirates Coach

The Portland Press Herald has an extremely detailed report on the coaching situation for the Sabres’ AHL affiliate, the Portland Pirates. Since Randy Cunneyworth joined the Atlanta Thrashers staff, Buffalo has switched gears and is talking to Kevin Dineen, who coached the Pirates for the past three seasons. Dineen is also in the [...]

Lucas is Meddlesome

Jeffrey Katzenberg, speaking to ComingSoon.net, revealed that Darth Lucas is ‘investing in technology’ to turn the Star Wars movies 3D. My favorite bit:
Katzenberg remarked in the interview that Lucas “isn’t going to put a product out, I think, that isn’t anything other than first rate.”
Yeah, EP1 was first rate, all right. UGH.

NHL Winter Classic Logo

This is the logo for the next Winter Classic game to be held at the friendly confines January 1, 2009. I LOVE it, combining Wrigley Field with the Winter Classic script seen on last year’s logo. Only thing is, it’ll probably get some butt-ugly sponsor logo added to it once one signs up [...]
