Warm Fuzzies to Management

July 23, 2008 at 5:33 pm | In Buffalo Sabres | Leave a Comment

I’m going to be quite honest with you all, Dear Readers.  At this time last year, I was wondering if I would be able to kill Larry Quinn and Darcy Regier and get away with it.  Hell, I was still working on a plan a month ago.  Oh, how the times have changed.  Instead of picturing myself ramming stakes into their hearts, I instead want to give them warm fuzzies, and let me tell you, my warm fuzzies are hard to come by. 

Sure, they let our co-captains walk, were forced to sign Thomas Vanek to a ridiculous new contract, and let one of the best offensive defensemen leave.  That was last summer, and last season.  It’s in the past.  They also signed Paul Gaustad, Dan Paille, and Derek Roy to new deals.  They kept Crunchy around, and even if he sucks on the ice, you know that in the dressing room, he is the boss of you.  They are in talks to keep Pommer around for a long time, and they even want Tep to come back for another year! (I didn’t even come up with Tep on my own, I swear)  Things are changing in Buffalo, and it’s for the better.

I finished reading The Picture of Dorian Gray today, and I find myself thinking about something Lord Henry told Dorian near the end.  He said that people can’t change, and they are who they are.  Now, while I might have believed that a year ago, I’m not so sure now.  I think Darcy has proved Lord Henry wrong, and therefore I give him and the rest of the Sabres management a warm fuzzy.
