Pass or Fail: Sabres' tanking anthem 'All About Last Place' (Audio)
We usually get ridiculously bad team anthems come playoff time, but the postseason won’t be coming for the Buffalo Sabres this year. Instead, they’re fully entrenched in their tanks for Connor McDavid, the consensus no. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, or even Boston University's Jack Eichel.
Sure, beating the San Jose Sharks isn’t what you’d call, “helping the cause,” but it’s a long season and there’s plenty of time for one of those 11-game pointless streaks to up their lottery odds come April.
In anticipation of McDavid or Eichel wearing one of those “turdburger” jerseys next season, we have our first parody song encouraging the tank. Via Reddit, here’s Buffalo's WGR 550 radio with their own version of “All About That Bass” by Meghan Trainor: “All About Last Place”:
The pipes on Thom Cich... magical.
Given the way their season has begun, we're looking forward to the next batch of McDavid/Eichel parody songs coming out of the Raleigh, North Carolina area. May we suggest "This Is How We Lose" set to Katy Perry's "This Is How We Do?"
