What’s incredible about that whole thing is it came totally out of the blue, as I recall. And after that EW totally vanished.

It was surreal.

I was thinking it's been about a decade now, yeah. I'm always surprised it's lingered around but it is pretty memorable.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

I was at that game, in Nashville. The last place team vs the first place team.

Buffalo won 7-4. Sam Reinhart had a Hat trick and Eichel had 5 or 6 assists iirc. Scott Hartnell boarded Victor Antipin and he had to be taken out on a stretcher. The Sabres scored three times on the ensuing 5-minute PP. My section was full of Sabres fans and we kept high fiving every time they scored. It ruled.

Maybe Nashville will sneak into the playoffs so I can root for them.

The manager is watching this whole thing with his jaw on the floor and just as the captain is about to get turnstiled by just the greasiest grinder you've ever seen, he yells out "STOP! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP." The players immediately freeze, a couple are hooking each other right in the hands. The goalie is letting a limp wrister into his five hole. "Dear God never in my life have I seen something so repulsive to my very being, so unfathomably wrong in every way. It's an affront to nature! Just tell me, what do you call this monstrosity?"

The players all grin broadly, the stench of losing hanging thick in the air and say in uninson: "THE SABRES!"

Icethetics had a great series on rejected 90s logo designs a few years ago. It remains one of the sport's great tragedies that we only didn't get to witness the glory of this jersey because of the 94 lockout.



E: For some reason it doesn't link to parts 4 and 5 of that series. You can read the rest here.

You know full well Nashville is going to keep up their current level of not-sucking just long enough to crater at the end of the season and push Chicago into a first-round loss.
