Hey. Hey fam. You guys. You'll never guess who these two remind me of.

DennySue and JohnBelle Find Love with Each Other

Driving up the gravel road in his old 59 Chevy

His was a presence bigger than life

DennySue is how most people referred to him

His mom had wanted a girl

God had other plans

Hence, DennySue

49 years young

Tall and lanky with long hair and lots of whiskers

Graying some, but still had lots of jet black hair

He was a looker

And the girls looked a lot

But what they didn’t know was that he wasn’t looking back

DennySue had no interest in girls

Sure he had girlfriends in grammar school, junior and even high school

He had dated a couple of girls on and off, but nothing every materialized

DennySue was the confirmed bachelor of his area known as L’anse Orange, Orange Area

His old chevy was awash in patriotic colors, Red, White and Blue

And atop that old 59 was a big ole American Flag

DennySue was a true patriot

He loved America

He also had a Louisiana flag flying atop the bed of his truck

Not able to be in the military because of a bad leg, he supported the troops

Denny Sue had gotten his leg caught in a trap he had set to catch a coyote that was robbing him of his chickens

He loved those chickens

DennySue was a vegetarian, not vegan, he ate the fresh eggs of his chickens

Those chickens of his were free roaming

He locked them up at night to keep out the critters who might harm his girls

When DennySue was outside those chickens followed him like bees to honey

He knew chickens; DennySue had raised them since he was about nine years old

DennySue lived in an old rent house on a plot of land of about nine acres

He was not a wealthy man, since he couldn’t work

DennySue made a living off of the eggs that he sold from his laying hens

He loved life on Poulailler, chicken farm

He sold chicken fertilizer to gardeners

DennySue also sold pickled eggs

At times he was a lonely man, missed a companion, but there was no one he wished to hang around with that much

One day a guy came through on foot, just passing by hiking cross country

He told DennySue that he had heard about how exotic Louisiana was and he wanted to experience it for himself.

Kind of a hippie dude like DennySue

The hiker’s name was JohnBelle

Interestingly enough after introductions both boys realized they had a girl’s name attached to their first name, together making one name

And their stories were the same, both of their moms wanted girls instead of sons, but had loved their sons, but decided to keep the girls names already chosen, and attached a boy’s name to the front

DennySue invited JohnBelle to sit on the porch with him drinking ice tea with sugar and lemon, very Cajun and Southern

The guys got along beautifully, conversation flowed

Two different worlds; DennySue had never left Louisiana and JohnBelle had never settled down in one place

Seriously, I think both boys wanted to try the other’s life

DennySue was never leaving his beloved Cajun Prairie of L’anse Orange, named so because the rising sun cast a beautiful orange hue over the land, breathtaking

As the afternoon progressed the boys lost track of time

It was getting late and DennySue felt sorry for the traveler

He had an old shed that doubled as an extra bedroom for overnight guests, that he never had

DennySue spent so much time alone, of course he had his beloved chickens, but it was nice to have company now and then

DennySue really liked JohnBelle’s persona

Seemed that JohnBelle felt the same way

Guys know these things, they can just feel it

So a day led into another and then a week led into another and then a month led into another and then a year led into another…

JohnBelle moved from the out shed that served as his bedroom while visiting for a bit

When the guys just took it for granted that this would be a long term stay, DennySue invited JohnBelle to move into the house into his bedroom

Those boys had never been so happy

They lived to love each other

Happiness abounded

And they lived to love others

Happiness abounded

And then they lived to share love with their community

Happiness abounded

And they they lived to share love with the wider world

Those boys became a beacon of what living a full life through unconditional love to all might look like

See, my friends, when you’re an outlier, you’re already on the fringes

You just give and take love where it will be received and reciprocated

Theirs was a BIG love

And it spread

And they’re still loving today

Blessings abound

New Look Sabres: GM 70 - PIT - Better Days

We’re racing to the bottom at this point, right? There was a moment during this game when everyone live tweeting kinda realized: shit, they could be in 26th place by the end of the night! We already know this collapse has been historic but what if we became the first team to occupy first place and last place in the same season? Ottawa has to go on a run! You got to laugh, or you’ll cry, right? Six straight losses dealt just absolutely mercilessly to the heart of Sabres fans… or at least the ones who are still watching. The wheels coming off in February was one thing but this… this is some divine retribution. Is Mike Harrington actually God and he’s endlessly punishing the Sabres for the tank? Buffalo hasn’t scored a goal in three games! Sure, they’ve come close to a goal here and there but holy shit! You would think one would accidentally go in through nine periods of hockey but here we are! Can all the Jack Eichel haters climb back into their Chevy Suburbans and fuck off now? These two games have been Exhibit A in why Jack Eichel is crucially important to this team. Never mind his scoring touch, this team felt rudderless these last two games. They looked out of it from the moment Phil Kessel scored. JP Dumont and Danny Briere made a luxury box appearance at this game. Who didn’t get emotional at that camera shot? If not for nostalgia than the sudden fear of Jeff Skinner walking to Free Agency. That last Briere Sabres was the last one that won a playoff series. Mind you, the Sabres won the division three years after Briere-Drury but that last playoff win was almost twelve years ago. As the throngs of Penguins jerseys flooded into the Key Bank Center for this game John Vogl pointed out you would have to be no younger than 17 right now to remember the Sabres last playoff win. I don’t want to restate again and again how disappointing it is these guys didn’t coast into the playoffs this season but gee, I’m 24, I scarcely remember 2007. I was in Middle School calling sexual reproduction gross and certainly not paying attention to hockey! I don’t really even have a sense of what a good Sabres team is either! Now I don’t know if I’ll see it. I don’t know if they’ll score again, does anyone? This game was just a drag dragging a drag of a drag hockey team! Yuck.

The first period actually wasn’t a total nightmare. No goals were scored by either team but the Sabres looked like they were knocking. Moreover, one of the prime knockers was Alex Nylander! There is an alternate reality where that line of Casey Mittelstadt centering a line of Tage Thompson and Nylander is the break out rookie dynamo line backing up the Eichel line to the playoffs. I don’t mind that line starting right out of camp next season assuming they’re all still Sabres. Perhaps that’s your third line assuming new guys come in, but we’ll see. With that little dose of optimism has to come the heaping shit sandwich of some Phil Housley inspired insanity: the defensive scheme in this game was awful from start to finish. Look at any opportunity the Penguins set up and you’ll see what a basketball fan may call zone defense. I don’t know what the fuck to call it except terrible. That’s not how you beat this Pittsburgh team. We could’ve swept these fuckers in the season series for the first time in recorded history had we won, right? The last two games against these guys were defensive battles. We have a coach who is supposedly one of the greatest NHL defensemen ever and this is how he coaches the blue line? There was a decent powerplay for Buffalo late in the first but nonetheless Carter Hutton was just barraged with high-danger shots. I feel so bad for him and Ullmark; any blame they take for this is trivial at best. Sure, they haven’t but up November numbers lately but its clear they’re not the reason the Sabres are losing at this clip.

Shit started rolling down hill in the second period. Conor Sheary continued to play well against his former team as he was involved in probably ever other Sabres shot but none of his would go through this game. It was Phil Kessel who benefited from one of those back-and-forth split-the-defense plays to tap it in on the powerplay. I could’ve done without the hordes of Pens fans in attendance cheering after that goal. If Pens games are going to feel like away games now too than that’s one of our bigger problems as fans in the immediate future. Yikes. Rasmus Dahlin got a nifty little breakaway shot before the Penguins next goal but everything is sad right now for Sabres fans so that made me worry he’s frustrated in this situation too. Brian Dumoulin scored a goal that looked accidental. It was just an aerial puck on net, and it went in. That was just weird, unlucky shit. Then Patric Hornqvist’s goal a couple minutes later was preceded immediately on the Sabres broadcast by RJ and Rob Ray discussing how Hornqvist has made his career being a net-front guy. It was like a bad omen. It was spoken into existence. I didn’t bother with the third period; I knew they weren’t coming back from that and I’m a loyal fan, I sincerely am but this shit was so fucking played out. It felt like we were all in on the same joke only its one of those self-deprecating jokes you tell to appear likeable. Garbage. This game was garbage. Nick Bjugstad is a Penguin now and he scored a goal straight off the bench like he knows what fun hockey looks like. Eight minutes later at 18:02 into the third period Jake Guentzel cashed in on a deflection and the final score of this garbage dump game was 5-0 for the visitors. It’s official now: this is the second time in Sabres history the team has gone three games without a goal. The first time that happened was… pause for dramatic irony… last season. Poor funnel guy was so sober watching this game. The poor guy took a shot from the funnel at the end just for the hell of it, but you can tell he was fully cognizant of each and every shitty Sabres moment in this game.

I don’t know how to approach this team anymore. I suppose Eichel coming back next game and the raw desire to hold up Carolina on Saturday in anyway possible drives me but what are we really doing? 11 games left and no chance of a playoff berth: what are we doing? I for one have more or less moved onto the soccer season which, thank God, starts in March in America. I am more excited for Congressional committee hearings at this point than the next Sabres game. The Bachelor is over now too. Hmm… yeah, I suppose there is just another coming of that awful helpless feeling we’ve experienced too much the last few years. The Coach is bad, he doesn’t think there is a pride issue in the locker room but holy shit, just watch the games. The GM has signaled very subtly that change is coming but what that is and how effective it will be after we already had a wicked off-season last year is just a big ugly wildcard. Elliotte Friedman did a radio hit in Toronto this morning and confirmed what should be obvious at this point: Jason Botterill is not afraid to be aggressive and move some parts out come June and July. There are a bunch of wildcards with the big club and unless you’re getting real engaged in Amerks hockey like me right now, your hockey life might be quite shit right now as a Sabres fan. Hey, the Draft Lottery will happen on April 9th this year! That’s super early. I hoped the draft lottery wouldn’t be the most exciting part of Sabres life in April this season but here we are! Let’s hope Danny Briere came to this game to cast a spell to reverse the fortunes of the franchise again and ensure Jeff Skinner doesn’t walk in free agency.

I apologize to those of you who follow me for hockey takes and see me tweeting soccer now. I really appreciate your follow, sincerely I do, but that is for my mental health, fam. All kidding aside, it is humbling to realize the New Look Sabres blog has something of a following now. You brave few are a fun bunch and I appreciate you. Like, share and comment to get the word out on this weird little thing. I can’t help but imagine if you hopped on the Sabres wagon in September with me and rode through this first season according to my takes. For one, wow that’s a cool choice you made. For two, this season kind of feels like a microcosm of what this whole decade has been like as a Sabres fan: heartbreak around every turn but some fun times mixed in there that just gives you that little flash of better days that must be ahead. Ops, I said better days! The folks who remember the last decade of the Sabres just started balling their eyes out. This is probably a better time that not to wrap it up! Let’s Go Buffalo!

Thanks for reading.

P.S. I want to apologize to Ben Mathewson: the Bruce Boudreau idea is a fun one. I did in fact get him confused with Randy Carlyle because of their similar faces.
