Play the lottery
Tomorrow is the NHL draft lottery, the winner of which gets the opportunity to draft Sidney Crosby, who is considered on par with players like Mario Lemieux and (gasp!) Wayne Gretzky. Now, clearly it is too early to judge the guy, because he is not even 18 yet, but he is one of the most coveted players of the past twenty years. So, okay, that's a lot of pressure.
My beloved Buffalo Sabres are one of four teams with the best chance to win the first selection, and it would be awesome if Buffalo could nab the choice. But conspiracy theorists reckon it will be the New York Rangers, as the NHL would want nothing more than for its great hope to be playing in its biggest media market. The Rangers have been one of the most poorly-run clubs of the past decade, and they are one of the main reasons that this whole lockout mess happened in the first place. They'll probably find a way to mess up should they get the first pick, anyway. So, Gary Bettman, give Buffalo something to cheer for - call our number in the lottery!
