Monday was locker clean out day for the Buffalo Sabres at the First Niagara Center.  Things went as expected, except for Derek Roy's comment about coach Lindy Ruff and how he shouldn't criticize players outside of the locker room.  Is Lindy right in doing this? I don't think it's that bad!!
Lately, I've been hearing a lot of criticism regarding the Buffalo Sabres management and coaching as being the reason for the team's mediocrity.  Everywhere you go you hear things like...

I remember when I was a kid sitting and listening to my grandpa tell me about Dyngus Day.  I thought it was just something old people did with pussy willows and squirt guns.  But it's not just for your parents anymore.

I see the point in saving some of Buffalo’s old buildings. The results have been amazing. Give credit to the people who have the vision….and the money to renovate these broken down buildings and turn them into gems. But what do you do with Buffalo’s old grain mills? Preservationists want them saved. For what? What can they be used for? They’re ugly, falling apart, rat-infested.

I know a lot of people are real psyched for this weekend's St. Patty's day drunk-fest.  Many guys I know are renting buses, readying costumes...etc...etc  I, for one, want no part of it this year.  I've done it many years in the past and I've just lost interest.  Maybe I'm growing up...lol...or to some growing boring/old!  If you take the time to Youtube--St. Patty's Day Buffalo NY....you'll find a lot of videos and 50% of them are the brawls.  I know a number of guys involved in a few of the videos.  The one I chose to show you is free of any of my friends/acquaintances.....This is the reason why I don't go anymore....(and it's not the bagpipes).....

One of my hobbies is collecting old beer items from Buffalo breweries like Simon Pure, Iroquois, Stein's, Beck's, Manru-Schreiber and many others. There was a time when Buffalo was a major beer producing town and home to many breweries.
