Today features a series of tweets.

Starts off pretty interesting, and ends… well, in a way that provokes hilarious tears, because the other choice for Sabres fans would be tears of pain. Let’s begin the journey!

What? Players are getting paid, during the lockout?

Yup. Here’s a couple Sabres.

Holy crap that’s a lot of money.

WE WIN! No, we lose. Buffalo loses even during the lockout. Sigh.

And by lose, I mean embarrassingly.

And Dubs steals the show with the addition of his newly popular #BecauseItsBuffalo hashtag.

You can find more of @TheyCallMeDubs over at the insanely/awesomely NSFW Sabres/Bills blog, “Dear God Why Us Sports.” Check it out – it’s worth your time, every day. (If you haven’t, shame on you – THEY’VE BEEN ON OUR SIDEBAR FOR MONTHS/YEARS!!)

How about that Ehrhoff guy? He’s getting paid his hockey money this year, but he still took off for Krefeld in Germany to play, which means some unlucky guy loses his job over there. How about that for solidarity?

The hashtag “ #ThePlayers” was created to call fans’ attention to that supposed solidarity, and how these guys should just really be able to play hockey. Except that guy Ehrhoff relegated. The good NHL players will get to play and get paid this season. The rest, well, they get to shinny at the local rink together.

Whatever.

Take us out of this nightmare, @KHL:

Go Sabres.

Oh, here’s our obligatory link to that weird NHL lockout video from Taiwan. Enjoy, (if you haven’t already):
