Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier is on a little show on the Buffalo Sabres website tomorrow called Sabres Lunch Express from 12:30 to !:00. Thats so cool, what hockey fan wouldn't want their GM online answering fans emails/questions. Nice job to go on the show and its nice to see management paying attention to fans.

EXCEPT WHEN IT IS A HALF HOUR INTO THE FIRST DAY OF FREE AGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

WTF? Tell me that its pre-recorded or better yet, that Darcy, behind the scenes has a couple of big names and they are waiting until noon to strike the deals and he is going to go on the show at 12:30 to answer to the joy and happiness the fans will have over the signings of some big name free agents for once.

Tell me that he is not the only GM who will not be working the phones trying to land a free agent at 12:30 PM tomorrow. At least look like you want to sign players, politely decline the Lunch Express and pretend like you are too busy and will catch up with Kevin Slyvester. Trust me Darcy, most of us, don't have time in our busy work days to go online and send you questions, most of us won't mind, do your job tomorrow.

Please tell me that its pre-recorded..........if not, folks, seriously, its not looking good for signing anyone significant because our GM instead of showing the initiative will be talking to what fans his team has left.

Humor us, sign Bob Corkum tomorrow before you go on the show, sign a frozen bag of brocoli, just do something before you go on that show and talk about how you are trying but its a tough market and blah blah blah blah...give us the friggin run around we have come to expect. Something Darcy.

I have a headache.
