Daily Links for Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 7

by Andy Boron on Feb 7, 2010 6:00 AM EST in Daily Links

The Sabres lost last night to another terrible team, but none of that matters because today is a day for caring only about football. Or, if you're not into football, commercials. So forget about the worst week of the season today and enjoy some chicken wing dip and beer while you watch football/advertising.

Shutout caps woeful week for Sabres - The Buffalo News
On back-to-back nights, the Buffalo Sabres have lost to the 15th-place team in the Eastern Conference and the 14th-place team in the West.

Lalime had some nice saves sprinkled in his 21 stops. There wasn't anything he could do on two, maybe three of the Columbus Blue Jackets' goals. But as for the first one? Killer.

With every loss, my desire for this team to make a big trade increases. Another entry in the trade series by The Goose's Roost, this one takes a look at the struggling Oilers roster.

Nicely put. Forget about this week. Lets start fresh this one. Whose everyone got today, Colts or saints?

Going to watch Pens/Caps at 12, Cuse/Cincy at 2, and then three hours of nothing before the game. Oh fun.

Colts 38-24….looks closer than it is, Saints get a TD w/ less than five left to make it that score.

Caps-Pens is good game so far, would be better if the Caps were winning but anyway. I can’t stand football, I’m gonna get out of the house after the hockey and see if I can somehow avoid any mention of the superbowl for as long as possible.

Question

What are the chances of the Sabres trying to bring back Dumont? I haven’t seen him play since he left here but if he’s still the same player he was back then I’d take him. He was an ok goal scoring power forward that our top 6 could use. He should come cheap cause he’s currently playing on Nashville’s 4th line

would be nice to hear RJ do his “J. P. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMONT” call but I really don’t see it happening.

He’s the same player, but he was too expensive in arbitration so he got kicked to the curb. He has had some injuries, though.

Not even the Toronto Maple Leafs could kill my optimism

Comment on Duff's THN article

Boy, does he really go out of his way to praise Kerry Fraser not that long after Fraser made one of the most blatantly boneheaded, inept and biased calls seen by many in a decade (the phantom crosschecking call at the replay station at the end of the second period of the Sabres-Canucks game).

If I had been Colin Campbell, my only words to Fraser after the game would have been, “Your retirement is effective immediately. Thank you for your service.”

rec’d. KF is the worst.

Damn straight.

The fact that that guy is still employed is ridiculous. And NO ONE in the league, the fanbase, anything, made a stink of it. If it doesn’t happen to the Caps, Guins, Wings or a few other teams it doesn’t matter.

All your tshirt needs.

Miller is going to be tired after the olympic break.

You've gotta think...

…that with the way both of them have been playing as of late, Quick is going to get a couple of games over Miller.

We can only hope quick gets one of the gimme games at the start of the tourney (well, SWI isn’t quite a gimme, they’re a pretty tough team now that they can play goal)
