Hockey is back my friends-- and so am I. At least for the moment. But I think I might actually mean it this time. Last spring was a lot of fun but then I couldn't find much to talk about, plus I had a really busy summer of family fun and travel so as usual, rando hockey babble went by the wayside.
But a new season is upon us, the Sabres might be good, and my niece is on board so she wants to talk about hockey all the time- and who am I to say no? LOL
So far the Sabres are 3-3-1 which isn't stellar but it def could be worse. They have shown glimpses of being a really good team and also shades of the terrible times. Guess we'll see how it all settles in. I have some thoughts about players but I'll save those for another post. (gotta spread out the posting)
I DO have a Hockey Separated at Birth (SAB) for you that I have been sitting on for 6 months. And they were usually Wednesdays but sometimes hit on Thurs so I'm just gonna throw it out there for today. (I have at least 2 more in the works so this is good)
Here, I present to you: Mr. Chuckles, from the NHSTA billboards- there was one right by my house that was recently replaced but I used to look at it ALL the time:
Now, I think Mr. Chuckles is actually a pretty cute baby, but he bears an uncanny resemblance to a former Sabre (whom some might also call a "baby" but I'm going to refrain from any commentary about that)
Jack Eichel (currently of the Las Vegas Golden Knights), formerly of the Buffalo Sabres. I picked this pic on purpose since it's young Eichel. I wonder if he IS Mr. Chuckles? Either way, is he in the right seat?
