Way to Go Darcy!!!

I am a big Buffalo Sabres Fan. I have enjoyed the past year watching, this young team that many said were playing way over their heads. I guess being one period away from playing for the Stanley Cup Finals, means very little.
Well the Sabres as many of you know tied the league record for most consecutive wins from the start of the seaon. Despite a losing record for the month of January, The Blue and Gold have the best record in the NHL, and are fighting the Anaheim Ducks for the President's Cup awarded for the best record league-wide.

Tuesday, marked the last day for trading this season. The Big question for Sabres fans was would Darcy Regier make a move to improve the team? Even being up against the Salary Cap due to numerious injuries over the last two weeks? Well before the 3:00 PM deadline We got the answer. The Sabres, who up until yesterday had not make a single trade, put all their chips on the table. Four trades were made in a matter of hours proved the the Sabres General Manager was going to do what it took to take this team to the Stanley Cup Finals.

The Sabres traded Martin Biron to Philadelphia for a second round pick. It would seem that the team should have gotten more,but the team could not afford to put another salary into their budget. With the salary of Biron gone the Sabres were able to go out and acquire Dainius Zubrus from Washington for Jiri Novotny. Hopefully this trade along with the other two that were made can help the Blue and Gold over the top. Hopefully there is a big victory parade in the future for this team, and this town.

SO, WELCOME TO MY WORLD...

" Allow myself, to introduce.....Myself. My name is Richie Cunningham, and this is my wife Oprah."

Oh, no I am channeling Austin Powers again.

If you have looked at my profile, you know a little about me. Let me tell you a little more.
First off, as you can tell form the name of this blog, I am not your typical Blue State New Yorker. I have been a member of the Republican Party since 1992. I consider Ronald Reagan to be the greatest President of the 20Th Century. I believe in the Conservative Philosophy, championed by President Reagan, that less is more. I am unapologetically Proud to be an American. I have the utmost respect for the men and women of the United States Military. I am proud of the job the military has done in the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, and helping Iraq on the road to democracy.

OK, now on to things that I hate, detest, loathe(You get the Drift....)
Those in the Democratic Party who's goal it is to take this country as far to the left as it is possible.(ie: political correctness, socialized medicine, getting along with others by being just like them, etc)
I hate those who detest our military and march against our men and women in uniform for their own selfish agenda's. One of my biggest thing that I hate is phony people. Those people who try to impress you by being someone who they aren't. The worst a Politicians who make big, bold promises, and end up not fallowing though. This is frustrating because around here there are plenty of this type of politicians around here.(We'll talk alot about that in here...)

Well that's enough about me for now. I have only one question for you. How do you like me now??
