But I am glad that the local fan/media Drury myopia still exists so strongly that it could be taken seriously. <BR/><BR/>It is also a fun game to play.

I'm at the point now...Oh, drunk dialing is perfect. <BR/><BR/>I'm at the point now where it's entertaining to see how Bucky contorts himself to mention Drury and/or Briere. He had a column recently about aging free agents teasing everyone for the first few months of the season and then finally signing. Now, you wouldn't think Drury and Briere have any bearing on this topic since they haven't done, but not if you're Bucky! If you're Bucky, you drag in an old quote from Drury about the Sabres not being better if they let either himself or Briere go. <BR/><BR/>I have to say, there's something kind of awesome about that.Anne Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09663173982137377432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-13400385290497970772009-01-13T18:04:00.000-05:002009-01-13T18:04:00.000-05:00By the way, that's a different Jonathan.He's Jonat...By the way, that's a different Jonathan.<BR/><BR/>He's Jonathan with an avatar.

He's been making "Tallinder might need a change of scenery" noises all season. Just one more reason Bucky sucks :P<BR/><BR/>Meg, like everyone else, I love the drunk dialing analogy. It really is perfect.<BR/><BR/>Jill, I hate to speak for VH but I'm 98.7% sure he's joking. I think he's making fun of the whole "Chris Drury never does anything wrong ever" ideology. If Chris Drury missed then SURELY Chris Drury MEANT to miss. Good point about the Detroit homecoming however. I never really thought of it as Buffalo to Syracuse but you're right.Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-67660053309281328592009-01-13T15:56:00.000-05:002009-01-13T15:56:00.000-05:00But I still believe that "Captain CLutch" missed t...<I>But I still believe that "Captain CLutch" missed that goal on purpose.

He can make that point else where. Even though they have a seat in the 5th chair, there is still a lot of hockey from now until then.

I have always thought of Bucky playing Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares to You" when he writes of Drury. <BR/><BR/>I got a good chuckle out of that column. I play a little game where I read the lead and try to guess how he works Drury in. Of course, it is difficult because Drury is often in the lead.<BR/><BR/>But I still believe that "Captain CLutch" missed that goal on purpose. He is a leader who wants to try to ignite his team by missing, and show them that losing is unnacceptable.<BR/><BR/>Drunk dialing is awesomeMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770585105343162265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-83428079111577419672009-01-13T10:06:00.000-05:002009-01-13T10:06:00.000-05:00Bucky's obsession is really just undignified at th...Bucky's obsession is really just undignified at this point.

It would be like Tim Connelly having a homecoming to Buffalo when he is actually from the Syracuse area. Just annoying. I guess it's a bit nit picking but Bucky needs to get his facts straight I guess.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01354165090373357485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-30476570653682351722009-01-13T09:04:00.000-05:002009-01-13T09:04:00.000-05:00"The story line called for Drury returning to Buff..."The story line called for Drury returning to Buffalo and reminding the Sabres that they should have kept him rather than open the door to his departure."<BR/><BR/>Then Miller slammed the door shut behind he who left willingly.
