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.

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 ...

Well...

At least the uniforms will be better next year.

The players in them, that's another matter...

I feel dirty ...

... I'm actually hoping to see the Slug one more time this week (and several more times after that.) As much as any of wants to see that thing gone, I won't take much solace in the fact that the Slug will officially be done, if they lose on Friday.

Edit: OK, I got my wish. Now, I'm hoping to see it at least two more times after that.

*cough* THIRDS *cough*

and a nice 2-1 win, too.
