This team has gotten me to the point this season, that I have been critical of in others during previous seasons. I've heard the "trade" and "fire" speeches before and the "lose for a draft pick" crap before and until now I was always more conservative than most. I'm not tipping all the way over and calling for a dismantling of the whole roster but I am at the point where I wouldn't be against suffering through a remaining season of Edmonton-esc awfulness...hell even two seasons....to get that sweet sweet first draft pick. Bottom line is that I have a simple goal. I want to get a huge Sabres tat on my chest when they win the cup that says: "Now I Can Die Happy" and I want to do it before I'm an old man. I'm 32 and the way I torture my liver I may have already lived half of my life. I wouldn't mind shitting the bed for a year or two if we get the first/second pick. Now finishing in fourth or fifth from the bottom isn't good enough and seems like suffering for no reward. What we need is a true and honest, old fashioned points drought.
Liver is evil and deserves to be punished.
But seriously we could start having fun with the the losing. It does not really even bother me anymore. I have come to terms with this teams inability to give a fuck. I find it rather entertaining now to see the lengths in which they will go to make sure they do not try to hard. Drink everytime you see a pansy move made by our team. Giveaways you take a shot. Scoreless period you shotgun a beer. Hammered by 12:00 left in the second, gaurenteed.
