I didn't really want to bury this in another thread because I think everyone in Buffalo deserves a pat on the back for this.  You topped the playoff viewership ratings with NO team in the playoffs.

Things will be better next year. Trust me.

Let's see how much more fuel he throws on the fire

I will bang the drum to go back to the royal blue into I am royal blue in the face but having said that, are there not going to be any 3rd jerseys for Buffalo this year? Anyone see this contest winner?

...

I mentioned I was in the Queen City yesterday. Did I see a picture of Cellino of Cellino and Barnes on a Cellino Plumbing truck? Twin? Side gig?

A bus for the Humboldt Broncos of the Saskatchewan Junior A league crashed tonight, there are fatalities reported.
