Around SBN: Bill Stewart Dead From Apparent Heart Attack

Ducks Gämedääy -- Sleektööned Säbres Blög Lögö

Anaheim Ducks (0-0-0) at Buffalo Sabres (0-0-0), 10 am
Anaheim Calling and Die By The Blade -- Hell's Linky.

As you all know I've been doing a late summer series re-designing logos for SBN's hockey blogs, and I've purposefully left the Buffalo Sabres and the New York Rangers blogs off the to-do list.  Not because I had any incredible ideas for them or anything, but I figured with back-to-back morning starts it'd give me something usable to post for the first two gamedays. 

So to kick of this Finnish season-starter, here's the logo I drew up for SBN's Sabres blog:

Die_by_the_blade_logo_2_medium

This logo's gimmick could have been better, but I was pretty determined to feature Buffalo's lingering (and rightful) anger about Brett Hull's skate somewhere in the logo, so I had the blade-wielder go on an angry message-carving rampage.  I like the idea that he scratched cartoon-swear marks instead of actually swearing, though -- that's some solid self-control right there.  :)

Once again, the blog name lettering is the strongest part of this one.  There's an old-school buffalo-head logo for the "D", a new-school Buffaslug for the "B", and then it even the referenced sabre-blade is incorporated.

Overall, satisfactory!  But you know what?  I could have drawn a better Buffaslug.  In fact, I did.  A bonus cartoon after the jump!

Star-divide

Hooray!  :)

Buffaslug_salt_medium

Now I don't want to overstate the importance of Game One of an 82-game schedule, but check out how the Ducks have fared in their last five season openers, plus what their end result has been:

Season Game 1 Score Won Stanley Cup?
2010-11 0 - 4 No
2009-10 1 - 4 No
2008-09 1 - 4 No
2007-08 1 - 4 No
2006-07 4 - 3 Yes

Seems like an eerily strong correlation to me.  :)

Prediction: Nobody's making me watch this game delayed, so I'll be around for comments this morning -- should be fun.  Ducks 4, Sabres 3.  Sprinkles of salt by Lucamir Sbisnovsky (both of them), Smellypants, and Koivu.

Go Ducks.

Lockouts and brutal injuries aside, that was the NHL’s worst moment.

I’m still angry about it, and I don’t give a shit about the Sabres. :)

I like the Sabres, dislike the Stars, and love that logo! That is fucking awesome. It tells a story and made me laugh and the hilt being the D works beautifully.

No…the worst moment was about ten minutes later when Gary Bettman turned his back on Lindy Ruff in the corridor. That’s when the Sabres knew it was fixed.

He passed it to himself though, I've watched it countless times and with the rules back then, it was a legit goal.

Regardless, I don't think the puck was in the crease before Hull's foot was.

It was close, so I can understand Buffalo’s frustration. But I’m happy Modano got to hold the Cup.

I am torn, because Miller is one of my two favorite goalies (Nabby being the other)

Plus he’s on my fantasy team, So I want a shutout, but I kind of want Selanne and Koivu to score……so, if the Ducks shoot 40 pucks at Miller, Miller gets the win, and Selanne and Koivu are the only ones to score, I would be fine with this.

And yet today’s biggest winner might have been Spade. I wish my power went out just before that game started.

Yeah Visnovsky had a -2 and Getzlaf looked sluggish. Perry and Ryan had slightly better games.

He's fancy. He'll go glove.

Next season the Ducks should open against a group of toddlers to prove whether or not they will lose to anyone 4-1 in their season opener.

Sorry to ruin the opener, guys

One of the biggest complaints from the media was that the Sabres spent so much in free agency but didn’t address their most important need: a #1 center. Now you know why Pegula/Regier/Ruff didn’t address it…they knew that he was already there.
