Update: The game just resumed around 8:50 ET. The Buffalo News’ John Vogl added an appropriate joke for that, too.
The jokes are even more inevitable than the losses: even the Buffalo Sabres’ lights aren’t ready to go this season.Here are a couple quick jokes from the beat writers on hand for Monday’s Sabres game against the Minnesota Wild, where the second period was delayed by lighting problems:
Before you drag Buffalo through the mud, don’t forget that the latest Super Bowl was delayed for a lengthy amount of time until resumed. In that case, the San Francisco 49ers turned around their play and almost won against the Baltimore Ravens, so maybe the Sabres just needed some technological intervention?
The Sabres and Wild are ready to start again. For better or worse.

Players are casually skating around the ice. Vanek just slipped over to the Wild side accidentally. #kidding

The #Sabres power play is futile. The power to the lights in the rink is futile. It all makes sense. #suffering
