I’m going to be honest. I would love nothing more than to see Max AND Timmy off the Sabres. Now, I know Max isn’t a surprise to anyone, but a lot of people I talk to LUV (not in the biblical sense) Timmy. How does he know which net to shoot at if he can’t remember his name? Oh, that’s right, I forgot it’s because he only plays 10 games a year. I see this happening before every game.
Lindy: (Calmly grabbing Timmy by the shoulders) I need to show you something.
Timmy: I’m scared
Lindy: Don’t you trust me.
Timmy: Uhhhh…yeah, I guess.
Lindy: (Walks Timmy over to Crunchy’s Stall) This is Millsey. He’s your teammate. If you see Millsey in the net; you remember what a net is, right?
Timmy: Yes, coach it’s the big metal thing at the end of the ice that I shoot at.
Lindy: Very good, Timmy. If you see Ryan in the net, don’t shoot, DON’T SHOOT!
Timmy: Coach, are you mad at me?
Lindy: (frustrated) No, Timmy, just don’t shoot on Crunchy.
I firmly believe this happens before every period Timmy plays.
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming. Apparently according to The Fourth Period Buffalo’s looking at Jason Smith and Branislav Mezei.
My thoughts on Jason Smith
v Played for the Flyers. (I will try to not let that influence me.)
v Was Captain of both the Flyers and the Oilers. (Hmmm, veteran leadership…)
v Solid on D
v His nickname is Gator.
v I’ve heard of him
v Made 1.9M last year
My thoughts on Branislav Mezei
v Uh, who?
v He’s 6 years younger than Smith.
v Apparently has been in the NHL 8 years.
v Has 5 goals and 19 assists in 8 years. (Gator has 28 goals and 79 assists in the same time frame)
v Made $850,000 last year.
So, I get Darcy likes to pick up no names for dirt cheap and turn them into something, but COME ON. This Mezei dude should not be on Buffalo’s radar.
Has Darcy talked with Tampa Bay yet? ‘Cause I hear Dan Boyle is available, and have we got a deal for them! How do two forwards and a nice plot of beach front property in the Everglades sound to you?
