Today is my favorite day of the hockey off-season. And not just because we have some good Sabres links! Which we totally do. And other excellent NHL links, which we also do. Have. After the break.

I don't often say this

But man it would suck to be professional athlete Tim Kennedy.

The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun

Re: THN's article on the shootout.

I’m not certain why Ken Hitchcock is against the shootout as a “gimmick.” After all, he’s a man who has a Stanley Cup ring largely because of a different gimmick. I guess in his mind gimmicks are only ok if he benefits from them.

Can we put out a Buffalo wide all-encompassing newsletter

that that hat has nothing to do with the 3rd jersey. It’s a line of New Era hats called the the 59Fifty Scripted. They made them for a bunch of teams.

In other news, after seeing this hat the Sabres will be wearing black houndstooth this year in honor of Sabretooth.

That would actually be a pretty kick ass jersey. We should start that rumor.

haha. That would kind of throw people off…

But I agree… every new hat that comes out is all of a sudden our 3rd jersey design. Doesnt make sense… there is 452345 Sabres hats out there.

Where else would you rather be?

“The new 3rd jersey will look very different from anything the Sabres have done before. It will be royal blue with a "Buffalo" script in white across the front, with the player’s number underneath. A vintage logo will be underneath the script with 20 on one side of the sabres and 10 on the other. The rest of the jersey is where it differs from current concept art on the internet. The back of the 3rd jersey will have numbers but they will be checkered gold and blue.”
Sounds interesting. This of course was posted by Sabres Hockey Central a couple days ago. Which the design has nothing to do with the hat.
