hes being a fucking douche right now and all he’s told me since last night is that the signing would “make me the happiest person in buffalo” that would have implied kariya, but he was saying it up until the conference today…so no fucking idea…i’ll see him this evening and beat it out of him or something… ---

yadda yadda, we’re cheap, yadda yadda. granted i don’t think briere or drury should have gotten as much as they wanted. but it is probably true that we could have had briere back last year or even in jan for 5-5.5 mill a year, and that would have def. helped convince drury to re-sign w/ us for a hometown discount… good thing i didnt buy either of those jerseys… lol ---

Wait… what was that about a 2 legged horse? I started working again and kind of tuned out, but that caught my ear. I’m guessing something like, “We’re gonna win like a 2 legged horse in the Kentucky Derby”. ---

So, is it safe to say they told us absolutely nothing new, aside from the fact that Vanek will be a Sabre for at least this upcoming season? ---

Darcy did come right out and say, “We’re going to be less competitive next year”. Doesn’t get much clearer than your GM saying that. ---
