Daily Links for Tuesday, Dec. 8

If you watched last night's game, you watched what will hopefully be the worst game the Buffalo Sabres play all season. Since last night's game was more excruciating than a triple vasectomy, today I'll post a recap, then two non-game-related articles. Do your best to immediately erase last night's game from your memory, and make sure to check after the break for another retirement as well as our daily hockey gift.

Luke Adam has 21 goals this year in the QMJHL, and that is a good thing. If you don't check this site every week or so, you should start doing so as Kris Baker does an awesome job collecting news on future Sabres.
