Count the 2019-20 season as another rough one for the Buffalo Sabres.
It’s early, but it’s already starting to look like Ralph Krueger’s squad will be missing the playoffs for a NINTH straight season. With another loss on Thursday night to the Montreal Canadiens, Buffalo now sits 10 points behind the Toronto Maple Leafs for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. In 2017, Jason Botterill was brought in to turn things around but unfortunately… things haven’t worked out too hot. It’s been the same old and fans are fed up, particularly Melody Matrin, who made a remix to “Hey There Delilah” by the Plain White T’s called “Hey Jason Boterill” to express her feelings.
We’ve seen a lot of funny content from the 2019-20 season so far but this just might take the cake.
The voice of a generation! Here’s a look at the full lyrics:
LYRICS:
Hey Jason Botterill, do you like it in this city?
I've been watching all these games, and well
This team's not looking pretty from my view
The spotlight's shining bright on you
To make a move
Hey Jason Botterill, I'm sure things are not that easy
But your answer to our scoring woes
Was Johansson and Vesey
Well it's true
Without Jack Eichel we'd be screwed
What would we do?
Oh you gotta do something (x4)
Hey Jason Botterill, that O'Reilly trade was rough
How could you think that Patrik Berglund and Sobotka were enough?
It sounds insane
But I hear O'Reilly's doing great... so they say
Hey Jason Botterill I just hope you have the answers
'Cause our rink's starting to look and feel just like the Florida Panthers'
And it's tough
It's a situation where this sucks
Enough's enough
Oh you gotta do something (x4)
Three thousand days seems pretty long
The team we had was once so strong
I think about 2006 each day
The whole league just makes fun of us
And we just laugh along because
It's a way to deal with all the pain
Botterill I'll just say to you
I really hope you get us through
We have all these defensemen that don't play
Make a trade
Hey Jason Botterill, I don't have much left to say
Because like Risto and Ryan I've lost my love of this game
And it's a shame
At least we have the Bills to play postseason games
Oh you gotta do something (x4)
Incredible.
So this isn’t the first time Meldoy’s managed to make headlines. In 2018, she posted the video “Dahlin” to Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” and guess what? It slaps!
Tough times in Buffalo right now.
