Throwback

by Ryan

So I was going through some things a few days ago and came across this.



I figured it had to be seen by something other than my basement. Here it is, in all its glory, your 1989-90 Buffalo Sabres.



Some close ups in a second, but first:



Now THAT is a logo.



He's smiling because before the picture Rob punched the cameraman, adding to his 446 penalty minutes in Rochester in 1988-89.



I hear he's looking for a job, and his moustache is looking for a place to hide in Melrose's mullet.



No words for Larry Playfair. None.

I have no idea why I posted this, and if you are offended in any way, I'm sorry. I just... wanted to "celebrate the tradition" and everything...

Dear John Tortorella,

Thank you for wasting your timeout in the second period with a two goal lead when you just wanted to give your hobbit a rest. It must be hard getting him seven square meals a day.

Anyway, we really appreciated your inability to stop the bleeding after Goose dominated that faceoff and finally gave some life to the team. Really, the ten minutes or so that followed was pretty cool.

The good news is that you have Dan Boyle locked up, he should totally be worth $6.6 mill/year in 2013. Yes, yes, I know, Lecavalier is the best player in the world. In the history of time. Forever. I get it, can you do some real coaching now?

No? Okay, fine by me...
