In a major North American team sport most rare on the Blog we turn to hockey and the NHL for this week's Sportsman. The Buffalo Sabres have been in hockey misery for 25 years ever since the "No Goal" controversy in 1999 without a finals appearance since. But maybe they've got hope this year or in the future. Tage Thompson had an epic week for the Sabres, with eight points in 3 games, including a hat trick and most importantly, three Sabres wins including two against teams currently in playoff position. Maybe showing signs of hope? Although Thompson took a shot to the head in the last game and maybe out. Sometimes luck just isn't on your side. But Thompson may be a building block for the future, but today he is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
