Hey! A Team We Can All Hate
GAME 1 OF SERIES 2 IS TONIGHT
Will this series be more exciting than the Sabres-Islanders series? You bet. Why? Because these teams really don't like eachother and that should light a fire under Buffalo, which won its last series, but looked sluggish at times in every game.
And as if being saddled with the most selfish player in the NHL wasn't enough reason to despise the Rangers, they have Sean Avery, the man voted both Most Hated and Most Overrated Player in a poll of current NHLers conducted by The Hockey News earlier this month. Seriously, Avery's a ginormous pest in the mold of Vaclav Varada and Darcy Tucker except that he appears to have a little more talent. Sure, he'll try to fluster the Sabres and if that doesn't work, he'll try to hurt them, but he'll also take a lot of penalties and shoot his big mouth off. If this were last year and we were talking about a younger, untested team, I might worry, but this is the Chris Drury-led Sabres.
Can't wait for those post-game press conferences with Lindy!
GO SABRES

Light a fire, indeed. That fire will consume the Sabres in *three* games, as I patiently explain at http://crookedtimber.org/2007/04/25/hogging-ii-son-of-hogging/

Ahhhh-ha-ha-ha! (Catches breath.) Sorry, I have the benefit of posting after the game. Too bad about the Rangers. I guess The Phantom Mullet failed them this time. Maybe Avery should have taken a few more bone-headed penalties. Yeah, that would have helped.
GO SABRES
