Last night, a wee little fella was named “Most Valuable Fella in the Frozen Four”. The good news for us is that this wee fella, Nathan Gerbe, is a Sabres prospect! Hooray! He is only 3’7″, so he is in fact, quite wee, but I’m assured that he is very feisty.
In honor of our pint-sized collegiate hero, today is Nathan Gerbe Appreciation Day!
Our cupboards in Rochester are bare. We barely have any Pirate’s Booty in there, much less tasty prospects. Let’s get this wee fella signed to a rookie contract posthaste.
He’s totally tall enough, you jerks.
In honor of Nathan Gerbe Appreciation Day, I would like to present Mr. Gerbe with this matching linemate/sidekick……
Gerber (that’s surely what he’s called, right?) and Roy-Z shall be like two tiny peas in a pod.
…….and this picture of Bucky Gleason:
Just trust me on this one, Gerbs.
Happy Nathan Gerbe Appreciation Day, everyone! Drive safely!
I’m with you, let’s sign him and send him to whatever minor league team we end up with. He seems to have no problem scoring. My theory is that everyone else forgets about him since they look right over him.
Not to change the subject but I like these playoff beards!

WOOOO! WE SIGNED GERBE! I LOVE GRR-BEE!!!!! Really, though.
No, wait, we didn’t, we signed some other kid. I got too excited and didn’t read the whole article.
Being a shorite myself (I’m a “petite” 5’1) I’ve been watching Gerbe all year, and I absolutely LOVE him! My friends and I were at dinner last night watching the BC game, and they started referring to him as “fun-sized” rather than short, which I loved!
And I don’t know if anybody read his quotes in the Buffalo News this morning, but I think he may be able to challenge Crunchy for the title of “Most Philosophical Sabre”.
