Craig Rivet was just being honest Wednesday as the landscapers put the finishing touches outside the 5,200-square-foot house he built for his family and sold to someone else. He was crushed upon hearing he was traded to the Buffalo Sabres and spent weeks overcoming the disappointment.
Rivet didn’t really have a problem with Buffalo itself, although he was like many who rolled into town for one-night stays. He thought the place was, well, a dump with its old, vacant buildings and sleepy downtown. You can’t blame the guy. His opinion was based on what he saw while riding down the Kensington Expressway from the airport.
He didn’t really have a beef with the Sabres, either, although he need not look very far to see how their mistakes in short order transformed a Stanley Cup contender into an Eastern Conference mediocrity. It’s understandable. He shared a dressing room with Mike Grier for two years and was Brian Campbell’s defense partner late last season.
Rivet was upset because he loved San Jose. He liked the team. He liked the town. He was living in a multimillion- dollar house in the heart of the prettiest suburb in the area. By all accounts, it was a great place to work and raise his three kids.
In no time, his professional and private lives were flipped upside down.
