Can't do it
No eulogizing the 09-10 Sabres just yet. Can't do it just yet.
Besides, The Willful Caboose has already done it far better and said precisely what needed saying. Here's an excerpt, but read the whole thing:
Usually I'm one of the first in line to pile on the Sabres when they suck, but I'm just not feeling it tonight. I need to let the air clear before I kick them when they're down (the kicks are coming, don't you worry, dear reader).
Truthfully, I loved this season. There was more hope this year than I've ever experienced before as a Sabres fan. There was the sense that this is a team that's improving. There were season tickets! (Sorry, that one is a little Katebits-specific) There was inspired goaltending. There was a killer rookie. And most importantly, there was a playoff car flag.
The end came too soon. That's for sure. We have maaaany weeks to discuss the-end-that-came-too-soon.
Tonight I just want to say, thank you for coming to this blog and for sharing your thoughts about this (irksome) team. I am good and bummed, but I love the Sabres, and I love sharing my experiences as a fan with my fellow Buffalonians.
Also, be sure to catch the follow-up - entitled "What We Should Have Done" - which is in a nice happy-yet-rueful kinda place.
I hope to arrive at that place very soon. Until then, you know what time it is:
