Sabres win big in overtime

by Christopher Byrd | March 6th, 2010 | 0 comments

This was a big win for the Sabres…they battled back from behind one goal twice to eventually win it overtime.

If Philly would have one, they would have closed the gap between the teams in the Eastern Conference point race. By winning, the Buffalo leaps back into first place in the Northeast Division and are only three points behind Pittsburgh for the number two spot in the conference.

I love that Tim Connolly scored the winner after an earlier giveaway by him put the Flyers ahead in the third period. I also love that Sabres’ newcomer Raffi Torres was in on the game winner as well. And how can you not love Adam Mair for tying the game up.

Hockey’s version of March Madness continues for Buffalo on Sunday with a game against the New York Rangers who are fighting for one of the last playoff spots in the conference.

Conference Standings…

Go Sabres…

Will the Sabres continue to slide?

by Christopher Byrd | March 5th, 2010 | 0 comments

The Sabres have won three times in the last fifteen games…they parlayed the Miller Olympiad Hockey MVP vibe into a thud while losing both of their post Olympic games.

Where does that leave the Sabres? Your guess is as good as mine.

If the predictor is past performance, we as fans are going to be in for a rough ride from here on out it with this team. Unless the bottom totally falls out, the Sabres will make the playoffs thanks to their great start out of the gate.

It is not that the team is being dominated by other teams…they are simply not doing enough to win lately. Scoring is down…the defense isn’t playing as solid as they were earlier in the year…Miller has been consistent throughout the slide, but his GAA average has moved up.

Maybe these last fifteen games are simply a slump…it is long season and was bound to happen.

I do like the acquisition Raffi Torres…brings some much needed grit to the top two lines.

With Ottawa losing to Carolina last night, Buffalo is still one point out of first place in the Northeast Division with some games in hand over the Senators.

Hopefully the Sabres will start righting the ship tonight against the Flyers.

Go SABRES!

80s anti drug PSA…

Don’t know what made me think about it, but it has to be one of the best PSA’s ever.

Adventures with the Byrd Daughter on Bird Island

by Christopher Byrd | March 5th, 2010 | 0 comments

Last night I took a ride down to the Bird Island Pier with the Byrd daughter Emilie who is home on break from college…we are Byrd’s, what else need be said…it made sense to go Bird Island.

Though not the greatest place to go on a winter night, when the weather cooperates and there is no wind, it is cool to go down to.

So we hung out and took some pics of the Peace Bridge and walked the pier.

Lee Majors…say it ain’t so

And now, even the Bionic Man is hawking craptacular products on TV…guess his $6 mil has run out and he needs more cash.

Now you can be Bionic as well by purchasing the Lee Majors Bionic Hearing Aid!

What is cool about the product is that you can be like the Bionic Woman Jamie Sommers and have bionic hearing.

Not only could Steve Austin be rebuilt,  your hearing can be rebuilt with the same technology…awesome.

With Steve Austin getting old, it is a reminder that I am getting old.

So it goes…
