...but you can deal with it.
There was no BAMF for the Sabres/Kings game. 8-2? That was just sad. In the words of Maloy "That was just a terrible, terrible game." We made the whole team skate blue line to blue line 1,000 times. Except for Vanek and Staffy, they only had to do 975.
For the Sharks/Sabres game we decided to go with The Goose. Why you ask? Well, not only did he have 2 goals but "he also lacks the fragility factor of Derek "Fun Size" Roy and Timmy "I'm-Just-One-Good-Hit-Away-From-Being-Spoon-Fed" Connolly. If you're out and about, give a honk for The Goose.
Ahaha, reading back over the discussion between Maloy and myself, we discussed what happens if both goalies are out. Adam Dennis is thrid string but he's a good 100 miles down the pike in Rochester.
The scene: The Sabres dressing room. Miller is laid up counting the little birdies as they circle his head after a tripping call sent Jagr spinning into his crease, Thibault bangs tirelessly at the janitor's closet door Jim Corsi has locked him in. The offense relaxes by their lockers, The defense is all huddled around Lindy.
Lindy: Ok, its the 2nd intermission and we have no goalie. We had an extremely scientific method for choosing who will be in goal. But, since you all couldn't seem to agree on if its 1,2,3, then shoot or shoot on 3, our epic rock paper scissors method will not work. Therefore, I want all defensemen to put in their stickblades, I'll close my eyes, grab one and then everyone walks away. Whoever's stickblade I'm holding has to play goalie in the 3rd. Ok, go.
Lindy: (peeking through his fingers to make sure he doesn’t pick Sekera) Eeny meeny miney mo, pick a defenseman because we can’t find Thibault. Uh…Lydman. Great. Wow. No, really I’m glad I picked you. Yeah, no you’re gonna be an awesome goalie. What’s that Hank? You need him on your line? Yeah, I totally agree….uh, Sissy, get in there.
Spacek: Unitelligible rumbling that may or may not be English.
Lindy: No, we can’t tether Pommerdoodle to the pipes. We tried that and he kept using the rope as a chew toy.
Spacek: More rumbling
Lindy: Jaro, I told you already, that’s illegal in New York. Now put on those pads and pray you don’t take a puck to the head and end up one good hit away from being a vegetable like…whoa, hey Timmy, when did you get here?
Anyway, I was at the Bruins/Sabres game on 12/10. Because we lost, there was no BAMF, but I feel I should take a moment to mention that Zdeno Chara is HUGE! The dude is 6'9". Can you imagine being Little Derek Roy and see that coming towards you? Frightening.
Sabres/Islanders on 12/12: BAMF goes to Pommerdoodle. Seriously, that was a BAMF game. Pommerdoodle was totally rocking it, and Lydman made up for his crappy play the night before by scoring a goal. Pratt is an all-around BAMF, but I gotta give it to Pommerdoodle. I mean, he’s just so adorable and he had three assists. And a new chew toy from Cube-Head.
Sabres/Caps on 12/14: Uh Timmy Connolly was BAMF. Because the dude took a puck to the face, left the game, got 8 stitches, came back and scored the game winner on his knees. The only thing more BAMF than that would be if Teppo did it, because he now has a bionic heart.
Sabres/Blackhawks on 12/15: BAMF goes to Crunchy "I bring the pain and stop the pucks" Miller, with honorable mention going to Buffalo Boy Patrick Kane who just happened to score the only goal for the Blackhawks.
bamf,
