Buffalo Boy's Blog

Im going to hit on a few things here because quite frankly, I am on a computer ALL FRIGGIN DAY at work and haven't had a chance to get on much for fun things like updating Buffalo Boy, so here goes:

1. I am putting it out there right now, unless we make a move, the Sabres don't make the playoffs. Unless the real cause of this disastrous last 10 games or so is the result of a tired hockey team Darcy our esteemed GM needs to sacrifice a sacred draft pick or prospect and get a bonafide NHLER. It doesn't have to be a top 6 offensive weapon, it has to be however a 3rd line guy so that TIm Kennedy can go back to Portland because to be honest the kid needs some more seasoning.

He used his energy and enthusiasm for the first 40 games or so and then after that wore off he has just looked like a kid who hasn't played this much hockey.....ever. Mark Recchi would be a nice pick up if we could pry him away from the Boston Bruins. Good leadership in the lockerroom and who cares if he stays beyond this year. Heck Id be willing to see if we could get him for Tim Kennedy. Matt Cullen would also work.

Shopping list for trade deadline: legitimate 3rd liner that can make 3rd line into a responsible and balanced line, not a collection of ragtag crap, a legitimate 5th or 6th defenseman, a back up goalie other than Lalime.

2. Its GLOBAL WARMING/CLIMATE CHANGE NOT LOCAL WARMING AND WEATHER!!!.

The next idiot that says that global warming is a hoax or that Al Gore's theory is shot Im going to shove them face first into a snow bank.

First thing's first, its not Al Gore's theory, its science going back as far as the 1950's this has been studied and the science all agrees unless the repukes make it political and find one whack job that they pay to say its a hoax. 

Look. Global warming is global, its not regional or local, Washington, Philadelphia and New York City are not representative of the whole world and on a global scale they are insignificant, sorry. Take a look where the Winter Olympics are being held, I saw yesterday they are having a problem the east coast would love to have, a lack of snow.

Yes, Vancouver has no snow, yet somehow they have to host sking and all these outdoor sports that require snow. The real areas of the glob that need to be looked at are the poles. Those are the real trouble spots that are seeing the greatest warming.

As far as the two storms guess what, its February, its supposed to snow and be cold on the east coast and the fact is when you are dealing with warming, you have warmer air coming in from warmer waters in the pacific and it hits cold air and it dumps the moisture from the warm air as snow. Big surprise. Its weather and it happens. Climate however is weather on a large scale over an extremely long period of time.

With that said, 2009 was the second warmest year on record over the last 2000 years. So, stop being ignorant Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Palin and trust in the scientists who the vast majority are in agreement that global warming/climate change is real.

3. Gov. Patterson is about to strike again, my least favorite democrat wants to put cameras on the thruway to catch speeders to make the state more money....once again we as NY State residents get punished for the inability to run a state.

Since cameras will be doing State Trooper's jobs how about you lay off say 25% of the state police since they won't have to sit in their cars on various U-Turns hidden from drivers views waiting to pounce on speeders anymore.

That ought to save a ton of money.
