Versus Commentators Jinx Thirds


OK, really it was just a case of the (much) better team winning, but it didn't help when mid-game the versus commentators talked about the "magical jerseys" that the Sabres were wearing, pointing out their (previously) 11-3-0 record. Oh well, 11-4-0 is still impressive and they will have a chance to finish 12-4-0 against Boston in the final game of the regular season. Unfortunately, in a case of déjà vu, that game will probably be a meaningless game for the Sabres, just like last year, as the Sabres will likely be around that same 90-point mark, a few short of the final playoff spot.

After two straight seasons defining mediocrity, what better time for a change of image? Hopefully, we'll be seeing a new away jersey next year to match the new homes jersey (current thirds.) Though, I hope that's not the only move that they make this offseason.

I hope they unveil new whites next year, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. I have a friend who works at the arena and while he's not allowed to say anything uniform/logo related these days, when I mentioned the new whites, his reaction didn't instill me with confidence. I'm hoping I read his reaction wrong and he's just toying with me. But you never know what's going on down there with the "brain trust."

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we have to wait for the 2010-2011 season for the official 40th anniversary?

Previous anniversaries were celebrated in seasons that started in years ending in "4" or "9". For example, the 25th was celebrated in 1994/95 and the 30th was celebrated in 1999/00. That is because the 1994/95 season was the 25th season (first was 1970-71) and 1999/00 was the 30th season. However, if they don't count the lockout season, the 40th season will actually be 2010-11.
