We Neid him!

That was pretty lame. But dude's not feeling too creative right now. Eh. I think you should have realized that this is about Mr. Gray Playoff Beard, aka Scott Neidermayer. Not that I have anything against gray playoff beards, unlike Stan Fischler, who is against playoff beards in general (do I agree with him on anything?). And I digress..

Three overtime winners so far, six assists and -1 (you can't have it all) in 14 playoff games this season. Nine points isn't exactly a lot, but hey. It's third with defensemen, and he lead defensemen in scoring in the regular season with 69 points. Ok, he has a lot of points. What's my point? That Lou should go to Anaheim and drag Neids back to Jersey by his rather unattractive beard. Get rid of Gomez and Rasmussen and Rupp if he has to. Even throw Janssen away, if necessary. And throw Martin in his jersey so they don't notice (he can tell 'em it was plastic surgery). Hey, you never know.

I blame his brother for all this. If it wasn't for him, Neidsy might have signed with us again, and we might have still been in the playoffs. Eh, what are you gonna do? No one ever said life was fair.. If it was, Stevens wouldn't have retired, and there wouldn't be a cap.

On a somewhat brighter note, apparently the Sabres (who were eliminated yesterday) are thinking about tossing Daniel Briere. Rumor has it that he and Chris Drury got into it in the locker room after yesterday's loss over a contract that Drury signed with the team, and it could be the end of Briere's career as a Sabre. Wouldn't it be exciting if Lou could get him to sign (if Gomez doesn't)? Let me have my moment, ok? It could happen. If Lou knocks him out and forges his signature on the contract..
