Around SBN: The Amateur Mathematics Of Linsanity

Daily Links for Monday, March 22

The Buffalo Sabres decided to torture us all with lackluster play over the past two months only to remind us all that it's better to peak in March and April than December and January. The team is really hitting its stride now, and has a 9 point lead in the division with 11 to play.

Schopp And Bulldog's Buffalo Brackets - WGR 550 SportsRadio

With each passing month, WGR becomes a bit less like a sports talk radio station and a bit more more like the mutant offspring of VH1, Bill Simmons' second-cousin-once-removed, and a middle school cafeteria. However, this Buffalo bracket they've created is pretty entertaining, and has an entire Sabres region to boot. What do you think?

Also, how about those division-leading Coyotes?

Glad for the team and its few fans, wish it would happen in a city that cares about hockey. But a nice story nonetheless.

Who knew...

…that the best thing for the Coyotes was getting rid of the best player that has ever lived and get nothing in exchange for him.

I disagree that the Phoenix fans don’t care about hockey. They’ve never had a decent team to care about. It is very, very tough for a team that is dreadful year after year to establish a fan base. Perhaps just one good season is all it takes.

Possible. I am speaking in broad generalities because I dislike the idea of hockey below the Mason-Dixon line.

Whether or not there’s a lot of hockey fans in the desert, its a top-10 US TV market and therefore the NHL needs to have a franchise there. (Though, the idiot who built a stadium in the suburbs needs to be shot, but i suppose suing him for 60 million will work too.)

Building a stadium in the suburbs barely works in canada(see Ottawa), let alone in the sun belt.

Speaking I'd NHL '10

The second goal yesterday was a fairly good reproduction of me trying to play the puck as the goaltender.

playing goalie is pretty tough on there. I like doing the 0-5 with Miller and trying to stop them

Big week ahead!

We could really lock things up with points against MON and OTT this week. Also, we need a statement game against both…either could be our first round opponent. Love that we’re at home!

It was very cool to hear from someone with that wealth of different professional hockey experiences. Nice to know that he embraces his role in the AHL even if he’d like to still be playing in the NHL.

Great for him. Now he’s got a 4th reason to sign with the Sabres this off season.
