Today I have decided to broaden the horizon of this page and mention a sport not mentioned previously.... Nascar. I know, settle down out there people, we'll make it through this. Today, if you haven't heard, Dale Jr. decided to leave DEI, the racing company his father founded. The reason for the split was Dale feuding with his step-mother, who through formalities was given majority stake upon the untimely death of his father, the Intimidator. In my opinion, this is ridiculous. Dale Jr. was made to race, and anyone who watched the movie 3 on ESPN knows that he was very close with his dad when it came to racing. Out of respect, the step-monster should have given Jr. majority stake in a company that bears his name. It's not JEI, it's DEI. The fact that this woman was so selfish that she wanted to stake claim in a company that she does not run, and drive the next of kin of the legend that started it to a rival team is unheard of. Today at the conference, Jr. said he would have had his fathers blessing. I agree with this, however, I think that Dale Sr would not give the blessing of the actions of his second wife, and her running it into the ground, which I hope she does.
In major 4 News -
A little less than an hour ago, quite possibly the worst played Buffalo Sabres playoff game ended in a well deserved 5-2 loss. I'm sure plenty of my fellow Buffalonians are livid and cursing the refs or something along the lines for the loss. However, as a sports fan, you need to realize that the Sabres have limped through the playoffs. Our PP is in the bottom half and tonight we went 0/6 with maybe 6 shots on goal. We also gave the puck away 19 times and gave up soft goals, not to the fault of Ryan Miller. Let's talk about the lack of clearing out the front of the net, the lack of manning up on a lazy play and giving a deflection, the turnovers on the powerplay leading to breakaways for goals. This needs to stop, we got past the Islanders and the Rangers who sat back and gaurded the net. However, now that we are faced with an agressive team that isn't afraid of our speed and we get absolutely embarassed on the ice. Lindy Ruff needs to lay into the team, where's the hunger and the heart that we showed all last season as the underdog. I dunno, if we don't get that drive back, this could be a quick and earlier than expected exit, leaving us Buffalo fans again feeling the agony. But enough of this, I am so angry my head hurts.
Till next time,
