Marty Turco signed a one-year contract with Chicago last summer and expected to start in net for the Blackhawks.

Sabres Fans Tortured With Rebecca Black's "Friday"
If you haven't seen and laughed at this video yet, I don't think we can be Internet friends anymore. But a meme does not an arena anthem make; that's why it was so curious when our Buffalo correspondent texted to let us know that during last night's game against Carolina, the Sabres played "Friday...
