Tonight should be fun...

...'cause Atlanta's in for a good thrashing! ZING!

Ridiculous puns aside, it's a game night again after what feels like a month. And looking at the statbits, it should be an interesting one. Atlanta, who is 4-7-2, has yet to win a game on the road. And while the last game we've played against them this season we lost in OT, the last 3 times that they've been at HSBC, we've been the winners.
The one game last season that I specifically remember is the 6-0 shutout after the death of Ryan's cousin Matt. Actually being at that game was such a thrill, and the emotion after was just so intense. I'll never forget it.

Anyway, it should be a fun game. Plus Yo-Yo is coming back tonight! Lindy is all secretive about it, so we'll find out at game time the changes. I have the same thought with most people: Drew Stafford probably will be the one out. Drew, Halloween/your birthday is now over. Maybe you were distracted with the planning or whatevs, but your game needs a little more attention then partying with Canish peeps. Tough love is the best medicine dude! Because seriously, who can hate you and those eyebrows?

Then after this game we'll see how tomorrow works out, because our schedule is ridicilous! Don't understand, watch this. The schedulers have a sick sense of humor... leaving 3 days between the Saturday games and the Wednesday games with 3 weeks in a row is not nice to the fans or the guys.

On another hockey note, my relationship with the New York Islanders has now changed. During the summer, the Isles posted a video about their young players to the tune of Trevor Jackson's "Bus Song". Trevor Jackson is a side project of Boots Factor, the drummer for Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers, and Kyle Riabko, a super awesome Canadian singer/guitarist.
I go and check the Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers website today, and I see a link to this.



Um, what the heck? Now they're using SK6ERS in their videos? I could care less about the Islanders, their last season recap (though the Sabres clips brought back bad memories), but when they use my favorite band's music, I have to pay attention. Awesome that it brings more attention to the guys, but blah to the Islanders. Which means I'm putting the Sabres on notice, Stephen Colbert style.
Play some kind of SK6ERS or Trevor Jackson music at a game, on a video, and seriously you will gain even more of my money. Stephen, Kit/Goose, and Boots have got a good following here, and in ROC City too. So just do itttt! (oh, if only they really would, hahaha.)

Now I'm off to pit band rehearsal. Who schedules a rehearsal from 5-7 on a Friday night? Crazy people, that's who. Thank god I'll be out for the game. Go Sabres!
