Many Just Wide readers probably know there's some overlap between our editorial staff of one and the woot podcast team. The two worlds collide in today's
podcast — a ditty about the Buffalo Sabres' untimely exit from the playoffs. Click the preceding link for the mp3 or listen by way of the easy-peasy player on the main page at
woot.com.
For those of you who're unfamiliar with it, woot's podcast is a daily novelty recording available Monday through Friday, and is usually about whatever product
woot's selling that day. Occasionally, like today, it's about something else.
It's not a masterpiece, but after all, these have been coming out five times a week since Hallowe'en of 2005, so they aren't all going to be instant classics. Here are the lyrics:
Well, the Senators' goaltender said
he'd've rather been in NYC
'cause up there in Buffalo there's almost nothing to do
And those Sabres fans wanted his head
for disparaging their fair city
But now that their season is over it's even more true
There's a feeling of dejection
as cold as the lake effect snow
The Stanley Cup Finals are coming around
but the Sabres are not going to go
Well, it sure seemed like this was their year
They were the regular season's best team
But the President's Trophy's cold comfort, if comfort at all
Now they'll probably trade Daniel Briere
and Buffalo's starting to seem
like their fortune in hockey's as good as their luck in football
There's a feeling of dejection
as cold as the lake effect snow
The Stanley Cup Finals are coming around
but the Sabres are not going to go
The Stanley Cup Finals are coming around
but they won't come to old Buffalo
Once again, here's a link to the
