The Hoffs

by riverssyr on Jan 11, 2012 10:00 AM EST

There's a lot you don't know about the various members of the Buffalo Sabres hockey club. One thing you probably didn't know is that Sabres' defenseman Christian Ehrhoff is a distant cousin of another German sensation, actor/buffoon David Hasselhoff. Sometimes, the young defenseman turns to his cousin for advice. Today, we're lucky enough to sit in on one of those conversations. I bring you...THE HOFFS.

Take the jump for more...

So Christian returned to his Amherst townhouse, with Olive Garden takeout in tow. After some tears into his pillow, he quickly booted up the address book on his iPhone, desperately hoping to make contact with a relative who wasn't a camera whoring, raging alcoholic. Tune in next time, when Christian desperately attempts to make contact with a more intelligent relative, UW professor Peter Hoff.

I think the implied “drink” is actually the best advice to be given at this point.

And this is...

what’s become of the Sabres season… No mention of Yahoos piece on Ryan Miller’s alleged fall from grace or Enroth and Gragnani being named as mid-season All Rookie team starters. No rumor mill on possible trade partners/candidates to bolster the offense. No defense of Ryan MIller with all the BS trade rumors flying about. No interview w/ Mr. s Pegula or Regier as to possible upcoming moves…yep, this is what the season has come to.

Do you believe in miracles? YES!

I mentioned the all rookie team thing in yesterdays links

"If we needed any more motivation to win a Cup sooner than later, we've got one now," Black said. "I really want to listen to the game that RJ calls when he finally gets to shout out, 'Buffalo wins the Stanley Cup.'"
"Do it or Die Trying."
