The year was 2006 and coming out of the NHL lockout the Buffalo Sabres has emerged as one of the hottest team in the entire league. Their blend of skill and speed was one that every NHL team was attempting to model theirs after due to the success of the Buffalo style of play. That is until Nait Rey decided to pick up and leave the beautiful streets of Buffalo, New York for the perpetually grey Pacific Northwest.
Nait and his friends often times watched games while putting down their daily quota of the beer Old Vienna. The Sabres going into the playoffs were a very sheik pick to win the Stanley Cup. Well, that is, until Nait brought all of the good karma with him to Portland.
After spending a year in Portland, Nait, upon seeing how excellent the President's Trophy winning Buffalo Sabres were doing, decided to move back to Buffalo. Guess what though, Nait used up all of his good karma in Portland and the Sabres were eliminated from the playoffs within six days of his return home.
So this year Nait decides to move back to Portland and guess what happens? The Sabres stink again. Strangely enough, the Portland Trailblazers are playing waaaay above their talent level. Is it a coincidence that every time Nait decides to move that Buffalo sports suffers? Maybe. But it is still advised, when engaged in conversation, to bring up the time you moved from Queens to Seattle and the Mets totally blew a 7 game lead with 14 to play. Nait will tell you he understands and the two of you can write apology letters to all of your friends together.
