The slug slowly hits the clearance rack.

Another sign that the slug's days are definitely numbered as the online merchants everywhere are slashing prices on their slug inventory with Fathead being one of them. They have dropped $50 bucks off the price off their nightmare inducing four foot wide wall slug. Certainly, we remember the slug flying off the shelves during the Sabres' President's cup campaign but that is because those slimy bastards were stitched a winning team's hockey jersey. Now that the slug has to see itself to the door, I anticipate the gear to move closer inline with the gastropod mollusk's average speed of 0.03 miles per hour.

2010 Draft Hat = No Slug, Of Course

We know the Slug is dead to rights. But isn't it nice to see little bits and pieces of evidence that further it along?

According to a number of web forums, this is the Sabres' next draft hat:

Besides being kinda ugly, lookit that bright, beautiful crest front and center. No Slug to be found. Amen.

Sabres Not Slugs on Twitter...

Hey you, yeah you look over there to your right...Sure to be the most trailblazin' craptastic twitter page since Donte Whitner's!!!

What A Little Ingenuity Looks Like

Seeing as how the chances we're going to get a quality gold third jersey are slim to none, a friend of mine took matters into his own hands to produce his own! Using the Wolverines gold jersey as a base, he made a number of customizations. First, he added the classic crest and shoulder B patches. Then, he added the NHL badge and laces to the collar. Finally, he custom-made a lettering set to turn it into a Perreault jersey. The finishing touch was a Reebok "Vector" badge on the back of the collar to give it a legit look.

Here's some pictures of it:




So, whatdya guys think?

OK, I've had enough time to mourn our early exit.

On to better things ...
